Is there New Music in Beyond?

I'm not really into music accompanying games, especially when it suddenly ramps up or changes with a changing game environment. But that's entirely personal opinion.

That being said it's easy to see how good ED music is and of course the sound effects are really very special.

So yes for the benefit of the game in general it'd be great to see additional music/effects.
 
The sound design and music are some of the best aspects of ED. Supercruise and planet exploration has just a few songs which gets repetitive. So will Beyond Chapter One add more music?
I suspect that even if they sneak in some new music without telling us anything, most of the people won't even notice since many are playing their own playlists, or listen to podcasts, audiobooks, etc.
However it would be a cool thing to add. More is always better :).

Well more people would listen to it when there's more songs. Eve Online has about 22 soundtracks, some are 4 to 6 minutes long. It's really nice background music. Every expansion has a theme song.

Wow, you tried so hard, but i guess you just couldn't bring yourself to post something positive.

What's not positive about requesting things? I like the game music and hope they add more in Beyond.

Music is a core feature that shouldn't be neglected.

I'd like different versions of the Blue Danube. So if you're in say a Courier then instead of the normal version, you get a metal Blue Danube, due to the reduced time to dock. Or just have them selectable by mood?

eg:
Done similar to this (couldn't find a decent metal version sorry):

This has been asked sooo many times.

They don't even have to hire a composer or anything, there's like 80% of Elite soundtrack which is still not used in game. For some reason.
 
I really would want this, good idea.

I reckon there should be unique planetary and space music depending on the host star and the type of planet you visit - aaaaand, to top it off, unique music for planets where either thargoid or guardian stuff is present.

This game needs some extra tunes.
 
Horizons brought some extra tunes I don't find on OST soundtrack, some piano pieces that tune in after being long time on planets.

More music is always welcome.

It is good to bring that up.
I would love it if new music was added composed by Talbot and Croft.

Yes, I'm glad you raised the music as a subject, too. It's something we are inclined to take for granted because we hear it so often, but it would be nice to have a few extra pieces included. Especially for the station approach after jumping out of supercruise .... need more variety there because we do it so often.
 
Whatever, just don't touch the Blue Danube during docking computer approach. That's the most eye watering moment in the game for me. Also a homage to 2001...

Definitely debatable. I personally believe the graphics (outside of beige-ification) are the most outstanding attributes. :)

Totally agreed. I usually disable them and listen to a personal music soundtrack instead.

Good question, definitely would like to know if any will be added, if not even with Beyond... we've had the same tiring music since release. Would be nice to change it up every now and then instead of disabling the in-game music and resorting to our own soundtracks. ;) A variety of sound themes to choose from would be nice (different tempos), but the game itself is in need of many other more pressing improvements than just new music, IMO.
 
I sure hope so. I'd also like to see those nice piano tracks which play on planetary surfaces to be added to the OST.
 
I doubt they'll add new music for existing situations. So probably no new supercruise, arriving at destination, or combat music is going to get added into the rotation. But they might create new music for new situations, points of interest, etc. Seems likely that there could be some new "fighting thargoids" music once the scouts start showing up.
 
But I agree with OP that more music would be nice. I love the ED soundtrack but have kind of burned out on it. At this point I disable the music and put other spacey sounding music on in the background.

What I'd really LOVE is the ability to swap out our own music tracks and have them play at appropriate situations in the game.
