Red Dead Redemption: Behind-the-scenes of the Soundtrack

Rockstar San Diego has put together a fantastic little video about the making of the soundtrack to Red Dead Redemption. It provides some wonderful insight into the instrumentation as well as the implementation of the interactive soundtrack. Using a myriad of stems rooted in A minor and at 130 beats per minute. As well as the interactive soundtrack is used in Red Dead Redemption, it is far from the first game to do so.

I reviewed the score a few months ago and found it very competent but not at the level of the Western greats. All in all, it is spectacular to see the lengths Rockstar went to make the score so integral to the game and it truly paid off.
