Ok, I'm going to try  :p

"Dinosaurs" found in the LBT series that are from the Triassic era:

Ichthyosaur (the sharptooth swimmer from LBT 9)
Quetzalcoatlus (the massive flyer from LBT 7 that comes with Petrie's mother)
Eozostrodon (the mouse-like creature in LBT 4)

Creatures that existed after the cretaceous period:

The Alligator from LBT 10
Ichy (Dill's partner in LBT 4)
and, again, the mouse-like creature, Eozostrodon

Note, I did a bit of research on this question: I didn't know all of this off-hand, lol :p

Tough question!

LBT Projects / "Bestest Friends" midi and sheet music

Oh, and go here for free web hosting: http://www.spiralmindsinc.com Screw angelfire.
Where is the free web hosting?  I can only find 4.95 / month, and up.

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it in their forums :p

I have considered attempting some of the soundtrack from the original LBT, and I still *may* attempt it.  Any track from the original soundtrack would be a Huge feat to attempt in MIDI for a number of reasons:

1) The music is very dynamic, from Very soft to Very loud - this is difficult to accomplish well in MIDI, however it is Possible.  It will take careful consideration of instrument volumes from the very start of the project

2) The music has a very dynamic pace.  The tempo (speed) of the music varies with nearly every note in some case.  This will be very difficult to accurately depict in MIDI, especially while trying to fit it into the same time signature found in the original score.  Again, it's possible, but getting all the timings accurate will be a heck of a challenge.

3) The sheer quantity of instruments in an orchestra is beyond General MIDI (GM)'s capabilities.  GM supports up to 16 channels (instruments) at any one time.  For the purposes of writing sheet music, I want to put every instrument on it's own staff, and its' own channel if possible.  As a result, I will have to be careful of which instruments to choose.  An orchestra has more than 16 instruments, especially including choir and percussion.  Again, it's Possible to get around, but it will require being careful about channel usage.

4) The length of any of the tracks translates to a large amount of time required to complete any one project.

5) The quality of most people's GM instruments on their sound card (mine included!) can't do the music justice, unless you plug the midi into a $6000 software synthesizer (see Sounds Online  I've got the Symphonic Silver Orchestra sound library  :^.^: )

Anywho, I'm always up for a challenge.  I'll get back to you regarding any progress on an LBT music project.

If I was to attempt anything from the original score, it would likely be "End Credits" from the Soundtrack CD (Thanks to Roger for supplying the music :DD), to start with.  if anyone has any preferences, let me know, and I'll start working on a different one  :DD

This will be much more challenging than even the "Bestest Friends" project.  That was somewhat difficult, but it was do-able.  This will be very interesting, and it will really push the limits of my midi abilities.  There is a reason there isn't a midi file of this music yet: it's Hard! :P:

LBT Projects / "Bestest Friends" midi and sheet music
« on: January 09, 2006, 09:10:34 PM »
As some of you know, I have a strong interest in music and composition, and I have decided to use this to our advantage, here on the Gang of Five :D

I have spent a number of hours working on a MIDI file of "Bestest Friends" (the in-movie version).  The nice thing is, the program I used to create the MIDI file, is primarily a sheet music-style interface, which means I can also post the sheet music to my MIDI for all to see!

I created the music by ear, listening to the original song Countless times, trying to pick out every hidden sound I could; I'm fairly pleased with how it turned out :)

Now, the thing with MIDI files, is they will sound Different depending on your sound card.  This song will almost definately sound different on my computer than  on anyone elses because I have a fairly unique sound library for my midi playback.  As a result, I hope the volumes and instruments sound balanced on your computers.  I tested the midi file on a fairly standard sound library and it sounds decent, and I tested it on the sound library I use most often - again, decent results.

The links to the MIDI file, and the sheet music, are here:
