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!
