Greeting Hackticians.  :lol:

I feel quite delighted that you enjoyed them CONMAN. In the past two weeks i had a chance to expirement with new songs, i couldn't finish most of them but i was able to comprehend basic stuff. It's worth noting that i'm using a midi editor software (you can find it here https://www.midieditor.org, there is so much you can do with this tool.) to edit midi files before i go through the converting process, i only use a hexeditor execlusively to past data from the generated files to the SMD files. By the way,  yesterday i came across your post and found that you already have a version of FF7 Weapon Ride theme done, i just want to say i'm working on a slightly better versions of that song plus the 7 songs that i've uploaded already which i'm going to finish them by the end of next week.

Now, with brief details i'm going to show you the result of the process i've went through to convert one of my favourite ost of all time.

Here is how the theme plays when you run it throught the converter without editing the song first:

Surely not the kind of osts that plays in a castle where time has froze :? :?! Moving on, i grabbed the midi file and made some adjustments, here is what came out:

I'm somewhat pleased with the result, still, someday ago, Nyzer pointed on my birth by sleep song that it plays faster than it should, which made me realize that 95% of the songs that i tried to convert plays faster than normal speed after conversion comparing to the originals, so i had to grab my midi file again and adjusted the speed level, here is the result:

Now this sounds more like the original, still not as good as when it played on the pipe organ  :cry: :cry: :cry:, but what can i say  :).

Here is a version plays even slower i uploaded for the sake of recording:

And here is birth by sleep from kingdom hearts played at low speed (thanks nyzer for the comment, i hope you enjoy this.):

Hello again.

I had a problem running the forum last friday, it appears that problem has been solved.

Thanks for the kind word Basil!  Music converting is a neglected aspect of fft modding.  It is very much a pain most of the time.  I would love to hear some more tracks that you have done.  I really should up load the better sounding tracks that I have done (I'm pretty sure I have a few I haven't bothered with).  Honestly I really haven't uploaded them because there seemed to be a lack of interest.


I always thought fft music quality was on another level, and besides the fact you can't add new tracks unless you replace it with existing ones made it less appealing. Anyways, i'll probably gonna start recording some videos in the next few days and i'll upload them as soon as i can.

Hello!

How are you all, my name is Basil and I've been lurking around the place for several years now. I'm really astonished to see you guys have gone so far with moding fft. Now, what made me sign up today was because i've recently found Conman's youtube channel (btw if you read this: I like your mod man! Good work!) where he was able to successfully implement new soundtracks from outside the game, which really got me interested in converting some of my own favourite osts myself. It's been a few months now, i've had a chance to experiment with hundreds (plural :|) of midi files, and sometimes i ended up with something you can call "audible".

I just finished recording a video which demonstrate 2 of my early attempts, hope you enjoy it.
