Thanks, I'll look for that one.

I know, you've shown me one before, but just out of curiosity, what other good sound fonts would you recommend?

Just what I was looking for! Thanks. Anyways, here's to hoping it works better on this computer then my other one.

If your DNS is funky, that resolves to

Or is this not what you're looking for?

I'm afraid it's not. I meant the Mudlord site. The link you gave me looks like it's just the source.

Unfortunately, the Bassmidi site is down, and I'm not sure where to get the download. Anybody know where I can?

Thanks guys, I heard about .OGG awhile ago, and since a lot of game developers use it, I figured it would be a safe bet. As for .FLAC, Game Maker(What I use) doesn't support it, although their may be a plugin for it somewhere.

Hi, it's me again. Just wondering, which format would you recommend for storing audio in a computer game? I want something that doesn't sound terribly compressed and doesn't take up a whopping amount of space. I thought about .OGG but I wasn't certain.

I guess you're right.

I've been playing around with FluidSynth a bit lately. I'm using Linux, but apparently there's a Windows port of it available? Sounds pretty good to me... Edit : And I :lol:ed at "broken trumpet in a microwave"! I tried getting fluid synth installed on windows, but it was so confusing, I ...

I've heard of this spriting program called Graphics Scale (http://www.humanbalance.net/gale/us/). I've heard that professional Video Game Artists use it, and I was wondering if it would be a good buy. What do you think?

You're probably dealing with a quirk in reading note velocities or more likely track volume in the driver. If they're your own MIDI compositions, open them back up in whatever sequencer you used and write in some sort of track automation that adjusts volumes at the start of each MIDI file. Some syn...

I tried Prion And Derfunkenstein's suggestions, and it sounds incredible now. However, on some songs, it just sounds strange, as in the volume of some instruments is very loud, while some are barely audible or completely silent, thus, ruining the song. And whenever I close out of Wndows Media Player...

I still enjoy the melodic beeps of the NES.

well I just do it for hobby, and most people don't seem to care about .midis. After all, I've played quite a few fan games that use .midis. I might use .OGGs in the future though.

You could also consider mods. They keep the space down like midis, but they'll sound the same. Long history of being used in games too :wink: Say, doesn't Famitracker support mods? The problem is, if you're making games you plan to distribute to the general public the MIDI file may sound very diffe...

Thanks! The reason I'm interested in .midis is because, when making computer games, .midis tend to be more space efficient then .OGGs or .MP3s.

Umm, no, I'm not trying to spam, I read it in a programing book.

Hello, just me again. I wasn't entirely sure where to post this, so I'm sorry if it's misplaced. But out of curiosity, how do I improve the sound of .midis on my computer(It's a Vista by the way, but I have a Windows 7 also)? Because honestly, it sounds like a broken trumpet in a microwave.(I.e., re...

Thanks for the help, I'm still kind of new to programming, so that would explain the questions. I do know a few things though.

OK, first, I just want to say that I'm new here, so hello and all that. Anyways, I've been reading "Programing for Dummies" recently, and it got into the section on advanced programing topics. And that particular section was on sorting and searching algorithms. The one I don't understand i...
