Where can you get midis? I've looked 'em up but I can't download anything.

**Tails** · 03-31-2010, 02:00 PM

VGMusic - 29,278 Game Music MIDI files for a start.

**DrunkN** · 03-31-2010, 03:11 PM

Well sure I can look and listen to them, but I can't get them on to my computer.

Kicked twice the ass, used half the bit.

I might be able to help you. Good midis seem to be hard to get though.

**Dudebro** · 04-01-2010, 08:03 PM

**Tails** · 05-26-2010, 08:29 AM

You know whats cool, turning an 8 bit song into a BETTER 8 bit song,or just turning the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire theme into an 8 bit song,

**RU Joe** · 05-30-2011, 12:34 AM

BA: good Necro!

the Fresh Prince of Bel Aire theme

Will Smith did make some catchy tunes, didn't he?

8 - bit sounds are among the coolest to be certain - in particular I think the NES games had some truly haunting sounds.

You did have permission from the guy who made the MIDI file, right?

**Dudebro** · 05-30-2011, 04:17 AM

That 8 Bit Stairway to Heaven is really cool, +1.

We ourselves don't have a problem with it. Then again, we don't actually have any kind of true claim to the files themselves. We're just providing the archive services, the files (For the most part) were not made by us and are not ours. So, if you want to use one of the files you find here, you'd better ask the person who made the file. (Securing the permission of the sequencer is VERY important.) That should cover you against complaints if you use it on a web page or in a freeware game, as the only person that would care would be the original sequencer. Using this music in a game you wish to sell is an entirely different matter. Not only should you clear it with the sequencer, but you'll also want to get permission from the song's copyright holder. It's up to you to find out who all these people are, however. One note if you want to use these songs on your web page: You have to download them and reupload them onto your own server. We do not allow direct links to files because it causes a strain on the server. (People who link files are one small step above people who claim that they are the ones that made the songs if they didn't in the bottom of the Internet's Scum Bucket.) It is also common courtesy to list the name of the person who sequenced the song (made the file). (People who claim that they are the ones that made the songs if they didn't are one small step above Spammers in the bottom of the Internet's Scum Bucket)
Also, please don't take all our files and make a VGMusic.com clone. It's pointless. We're already here and doing a good job of being VGMusic.com. If all you are is our doppelganger, no one is going to visit you.

So yes, permission.

Dude, that program is AWESOME! The only problem I had with it was locating MIDI files... and I can't convert files to midi.

**tommo020788** · 11-21-2011, 09:30 PM

Hi everyone, I found and read this post randomly through a google search, and thought I might be able to help some people here.

The issue with getting a midi version of your favorite songs, is that in order for a midi file to be created, the author has to listen to the actual mp3, figure out the notes for each instrament, then re-compose that song using the right instruments, and notes.

mp3 files are digitally recorded sounds.
MIDI is allot different. MIDI is actually a file with instructions to tell your computer to play certain notes, using certain instruments, therefore its not an easy task for someone to make a midi version of a mp3 file without being pretty well musically talented, OR having a full instrumental score of the song available to them, to write a midi file with, using Sibelius or similar software.

That being said, I think I should be able to make some midi files, so I might take requests.
I'll offer to do just 1 song for each person.
If you want more than one midi song made, then I might be happy to do more for some form of compensation

If you wanna make a request, just email me at gocards.co@gmail.com, OR pm me here.
