The_SloVinator Posted October 15, 2016 Any ideas on how to upload full WAD MIDI soundtracks? Sony Vegas & Camtasia don't support MIDI. Was thinking of making videos about WAD's ost. 0 Share this post Link to post
Maes Posted October 15, 2016 Record the output of a MIDI player through e.g. Audacity and import that in the video. 0 Share this post Link to post
chungy Posted October 16, 2016 Most synthesizers let you output a WAV file directly (such as timidity). Or if you play it in something like Winamp or Foobar2k, those also have WAV file writers. 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted October 16, 2016 Will that website make them sound just like in the game? I want to put pwad midis on my iPod but all converters use shit instruments. 0 Share this post Link to post

To be a little more verbose, configure an audio editing tool like Audacity to be capturing your audio-out (by default, most are going to be capturing mic-in). Then hit record, then fire up the midi in whatever app/game that plays it the way you like it. Try to avoid volume levels that create plateaus in the waveform... It's inconvenient, since it's like the old days of sitting there while you copy a song off the radio with a cassette tape, but as Memfis mentions, one midi can sound totally different depending on the application interpreting it. So if you have a particular sound you are after for a particular midi, then I dunno a better method than just capturing the speaker output directly. 0 Share this post Link to post

Jewellds Posted October 16, 2016 I normally use Synthfont for recording midi. Synthfont allows you to playback and record midis with Soundfont files. IMO, this is cleaner than actually recording the midis, and has the advantage of being able to sound like whatever you want. Don't bother with Synthfont 2, as you have to pay for it. Synthfont 1 is freeware. You'll also need a soundfont. You most likely want something like this Roland Sound Canvas soundfont, but any .sf2 file will do. Feel free to experiment. 0 Share this post Link to post
VGA Posted October 16, 2016 Stop the presses! Coolsoft VirtualMIDISynth has a MIDI converter. It uses the soundfont(s) that you have set and it outputs to wav, mp3 and even FLAC. Get the latest release candidate of version 2.x Its main functionality is as a replacement MIDI device, especially useful in newer Windows OSes. It works with everything from Doom 95, to Dosbox, Doom source ports etc. http://coolsoft.altervista.org/en/virtualmidisynth 0 Share this post Link to post
Vorpal Posted October 16, 2016 Heh I use coolsoft and never knew it could do that 0 Share this post Link to post
The_SloVinator Posted October 17, 2016 I recorder the MIDI through Audacity & exported the audio. Works like a charm! Though I needed to download LAME mp3 encoder to export the audio. Thanks to all of ya. You're very helpful. 0 Share this post Link to post
