Specific MIDI to WAV, MP3 or OGG converter for my game music.

[Mugs]

I need a MIDI to WAV, MP3 or OGG converter that would convert the exact length of the song.Ã,  I have a MIDI converter, but it adds a half second to the end. This would cause a small gap in the music for my adventure game.

Thank you.

I have always had this query: Why?

Why do you need the midi file to be conerted into an audio file?

Either way, I don't have the time to search for converters, but I'm pretty sure that you can record the midi file, while playing it, and as you have the audio file, you can eidt it to the exact length...

But honestly, asnwer me why? Honestly I just don't understand it. Sorry for that...

I want the music to sound the same for every computer.  I've noticed that a few of my songs don't sound right with different midi settings.

Easiest solution: Open the sound file in a sound editor and cut away the silence.

I've tried that many times and I'm still trying.  I'm having trouble cutting the music at the exact place. 

I'm asking for a converter to see if there was a better solution.

Can't the sound editor you're using zoom in on the uh.. zig zag thing?

Audacity can zoom in, for example.

It's hard to get a sound file to loop seamlessly (is that a real word?), particulary if you have applied some reverb to it (which is a good idea to do). Maybe you could consider re-making the music so it doesn't have to loop seamlessly?

Another option would be to use ... (looks at the AGS feature list) XM. It's sort of like MIDI, but with the instruments inluded in the file. The downside is that the rythmic resolution is lower, and that the XM file can be a bit of trouble to create. (I used a related format, MO3, for my game.)

If you have reverb then you need to cut the trail off at the end at paste it back at the start for it to loop seamlessly.
It normally isn't too hard to find the end of a beat when creating a loop just doing it by ear. A few practices and you'll get the hang of it quickly. Failing that you could probably calculate the point to cut at by dividing the bpm by 60 and cutting at the next sample that goes into that amount. Also remember that only ogg files can loop seamlessly, mp3's will always add some silence at the start and end.

If it's the mp3 that's causing trouble, I'll try converting the song to a OGG file.  Thanks for the little hint.

MID2XM might be worth a fiddle, although it's a pain to get good samples.

Depending on your music, could be smaller and better quality than the oggs. Oh, and less processor intensive.

Personally I use a program called MIDI Converter Studio that helps me convert files with soundfonts. There is a pretty good tutorial on How to convert MIDI to MP3, it has detailed instructions. I hope that my advise will help you.

This thread is almost four years old...

Edit: Heh, you dug up a five year old one with your other post. Hmm.

Well Mugs never did say it was resolved.

It's possible that in the nearly 4 years since this thread was started that a solution was never found.
