MIDI files...

Posted by Chao-Guy - March 25th, 2008


Alot of people have been enquiring about MIDI files. So I decided to anwser the matter.
Yes, I am a afraid I am a bit of a whore for using MIDI files. I don't have a good ear for music, that is, I cant tell what key an instrument should be in, what notes the melody and bass should hit. So I use MIDI which have the notes already laid out, and uploaded by people so anyone can download it.
Alot more artists on NG use them than you think, and often don't credit them. You can tell if you heard the origonal MIDI, as the artist has used simmilar instruments to the origional.
"Why don't you just use the MIDIs as a guide for how you should lay out the notes?"
If I were to just copy another persons MIDI, by copying the notes, then that still means I've used a MIDI rather than doing it by ear, like many artists.

Origionaly the rule was no one could make music simmilar to copyrighted stuff. Now look at us; over 500 videogame remixes. However, alot of people are unhappy about me using MIDIs. I'm not trying to become a great audio artist, I just want more obscure songs that I think are good to be noticed. If you don't like the way I did a song; your more than welcome to make a better version of it!!

However, as a sign of good faith after I finish my requests, I shall avoid using MIDIs and try to make my own origional work.

Now back to our regular schedual:
REQUEST SONGS:-
- Marx fight: Kirby SuperStar for Taymaster. Done!

- Siliph Co. Pokemon Fire Red/Leaf Green for elwakawaka. The MIDI is the old 8-bit MIDI, so it may not be good. I'm working on it though!!

- Trainer Battle Pokemon Diamond Pearl. for Bogeyware

- Chilli Billi boss: Banjo Tooie for elwakawaka. Ususally I wouldn't take two requests at once, so You should feel privaliged!! ;)

- Daroche boss: Squeak Squad for Hellbuster. (No MIDI, as of this time of typing)

- Crystal Palace: Paper Mario for Toad Mario.

- Pikmin 2 boss (for ZandXXX)

- Arceus battle (for SupaPeeves)

- Dialga/Palkia battle (for Superslasher)

- Champion Diamond/Pear battle (for jeldeluxe)

SONGS UNABLE TO COMPLETE:-
- Sonic Riders: Zero Gravity Theme for Jet the Hawk. No MIDI at the moment.

- Arcadian Theme FFXII for CrossedSwords. No MIDI at the moment. In fact, not even a YouTube video; which is unusual. Its in the first cutscene with the Arcadian. Any clarity? (Name of song? e.t.c.)

And finaly, a funny pic for the hell of it.

Keep it up!!

(*Just so everyone knows, my top 4 Audio favorites are the only ones really in order. The rest are just there. It's hard to say "this is better than that", because there ALL good in there own way. So, appart from my "top 4", don't feel bad if your song is near the bottom, it's not ment to be!! I'll save you as a fave artist If you've done two or more audio's I've faved. Again, top 4 are in order. Same goes for flash favs.*)

hey dude. well there's nothing wrong with looking at a midi file/sheet music/tab or other reference. It doesn't need to be played directly by ear, but just made from scratch. If what you're doing is just uploading the midi into FL studio, replacing with it instruments, that's not a remix, and takes minimal effort. it's also against the rules. I would rather hear your original work; but if you're doing a remix, I would personally want to hear your style by altering or adding on to the actual compositon's melody, rhythm, or just giving a spin to the central theme(s). don't be afraid to mess around with it and just see what comes out. Good luck!

Thanks for the support! I do try to change the MIDI. But I'll try to make it more obvious from now on. If I have to use a MIDI that is.

Thx 4 trying 2 get the squeak squad boss theme man.
hopefully u find it soon.

Thanks! ^_^

How long till you're done my request?

It better be pretyt good since you're tkaing so long. >=O

hey i was wondering if u need help finding a decent arceus battle song for a request i have a cheat system that u can get 2 it if u have a pkm dimond or pearl and a action replay i can get u a code (i love these songs :))lol

Don't worry, I can find some MIDI's to base my work off of.

I don't care how long I have to wait for your music. Let it be a year I don't care. As long as your working on it.

Yeah, don't worry. Just catching up with my other stuff.
