EDIT: Nevermind, I found it in their forums
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
), to start with. if anyone has any preferences, let me know, and I'll start working on a different one
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!
