Was thinking the other day how awesome E3M1 music is...and decided I was bored tonite and broke out my FL Studio again...
spent almost 85 minutes trying to get it to sound close to the original. Hopefully its good to y'all

If I was making this, I would put my name, and maybe Benson's, in the ID3 tags. Not a real issue, just a thought.

Nice work!

Good job! I like it!

I like the second version.

Atariangamer · July 07, 2009, 12:12:43 PM

comparing it to the actual MIDI, theres a good deal of lag in the notes. Mostly due to the way midi handles them. Its a good version, but it has nothing on the MIDI (at least, when using XG synth)

How did you do this?

Atariangamer · July 07, 2009, 05:58:32 PM

Using FL Studio (currently 6, need to update to 7), I open the MIDI file and start finding synths that sound like the instruments. I use Sytrus (best sounding one, though its not free, i use the demo, which is why what you hear is what you get, no tweaking), and take preset instruments and tweak them to fit the need. I then save the drum track and load up sampled drum sounds and assign them to the keys. I test it, and in this case got some input before rendering the final, and then volia.

Sweetness! I wish I had FL Studio...oh, the possibilities.

Also, FL Studio 8 is out...if you bought FL Studio online you get free lifetime updates, or $29 for lifetime updates from the box, apparently.

i bought the box, and got one free update...so i have a 7 license.

Is there any way to extract MIDI's or ogg's from a wad?

Atariangamer · July 07, 2009, 06:51:40 PM

yes...XWE does it. and lucky for me, you didn't need to convert them from MUS to MIDI (something i've yet to figure out)

GameMaster · July 07, 2009, 06:52:27 PM

XWE says it's unknown

xbolt · July 07, 2009, 06:58:07 PM

Say, since you have FL Studio, you need to do something with FL-Chan!

*dodges flying fruit*

sorry GM...i'm not a pro at doing it, i just opened chex3.wad, found the file, saved it as E3M1.mid and it worked.

and xbolt, i had experimented with that when i had FL7 before resetting the computer...it was cool, but I couldn't stand it after awhile...

I'm trying to extract some music from Legendary and Epic CTF wads.....

Atariangamer · July 07, 2009, 10:18:25 PM

some of those are .IT from Impulse Tracker. basically MIDI, but not...idk if you can convert those.
