After a few weeks of fighting with this very tricky song, I finally have an "Adventuring" MIDI up and running. If you have any criticism to offer, I'm happy to listen and take your comments to heart
This MIDI got especially challenging from about 1:30 any beyond. The amount of detail work requred to get it accurate to the original was more than I expected, from first listening to the song
: . The various "effects" of sound used throughout the song; the "tropical" feel in the Big Water scene, the sound of rock falling, the flute as Littlefoot soars high into the sky, the constant piano playing throughout much of the song, the tricky guitar work in the second half. Nothing was especially easy, except the main melody of the song.
Another tricky part was the voice harmonies in the last section. When the Gang starting singing all different notes from each other, to make the full sound, I had to figure out the notes, and who was singing each note. From square one, this was a tricky little MIDI
This has been one of the more difficult songs I've ever made a MIDI of, and I'm quite happy with the result.
I must say, as much as I enjoy making these midis, it sort of ruins the song for me for about a week after the MIDI is finished
:. I listen to the song SO much while making the MIDI, trying to listen for all the details in the music, that It's hard to enjoy the song casually, for a short while.
Oh well, it's a labour of love.

I've also posted up an MP3 version, recorded from my MIDI soundfont. Irecommend checking out the MP3 version as well. The quality is pretty good.
Enjoy! More songs coming soon!
