OGG Software...

[Wolverine]

I just looked through the other forums and couldn't find anything on this. Does anyone know of a program for creating OGG files? I don't want to convert because what I have to convert is to junky. PLEASE! Help.

Not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for, but this is the program I use for ALL my audio needs.

Or if you want something free, you can use Audacity

Tank you. I'll try the Audacity one first and see if it meets my needs.

[Wolverine]

OK. Two questions: 1) Do all AGI MIDIs sound like a piano after you convert them? 2) Do all SCI MIDIs try to play through the MT-32 configuration.. I can't play any of the MIDIs after conversion because Audacity doesn't like 'em. There a special way to convert these sounds without destroying them?

[Darcness]

Music ripped from AGI games mostly sound like a piano because the ripping software doesn't always know what instrument to assign to which channel, so it chooses instrument 0 (piano). You'll have to set the instruments manually for each channel.

[Wolverine]

OK. In audacity, how do you set the instruments for each channel? I was looking at that and couldn't figure it out. My first time around on this. I can do it if I had a keyboard plugged into the computer, but have never done it any other way.

Also, in reference to SCI, why is it that any of the sounds that I convert don't come up in Audacity. It just says that the instrument port or what-not could not be opened and doesn't play the sound.

Here is a free midi maker if you like .
