where i can get some background music?

Well, it would have been about 2 or 3 months, but plans have just changed (as in today). And drastically for the better.

Earlier today, I was talking to a professional musician I personally know (And by professional, I mean he has a degree in music and knows more than you would believe any one person would know.) and he gave me some advice that literally saved me about $500 and several months of time. He told me to look at getting a MIDI Controller instead of an expensive keyboard. The MIDI Controller will be better for recording and is drastically cheaper while still getting quality. I'm looking in the $200 range here, and I could have that kind of money in a matter of two or three weeks.

If you don't know what that is, I'll explain it to the best of my ability. A MIDI Controller doesn't naturally have any sounds built into it, but it can work with any plug-in or sounds I download online. (That's how it works to my understanding anyway.) Meaning, over the years, I could build several thousands of different sounds and voices to work the thing. It will be way better for my purposes than a keyboard and will cost me about a quarter of the money. So my price range has sunk from $800-$1000 to $150-$250. I am so incredibly happy that I had that conversation with him. He saved me a heck of a lot of money and time, and this MIDI controller will actually be better for me in the long run than a keyboard would have been. I will be able to do a lot more with it.

Another thing that happened to me earlier today, this insanely nice couple I know actually gave me their old keyboard to practice with. It's a fairly old Casio model (about $130 today) and it was never top-notch, so I won't record with it, but I am so absolutely shocked that they would just give it to me. It's one of the nicest things anyone has ever done for me and it will help me out a ton, since I can practice with it now and already be used to playing a keyboard by the time I get the MIDI Controller. Things are getting better and better for me. These people have together saved me months of time and several hundreds of dollars. I love my life right now.

But anyway, the bottom line is I will most likely have the equipment I need sometime during July.


Oh, and just a side thing, I think you may have misunderstood what I do. I don't merge original music and covers of music I didn't write into one song. That's what it sounded like you think I do from your message. I simply record both music I wrote and my renditions of songs I didn't write, separately. So half my recordings are stuff I wrote, half of them are stuff that someone else wrote. Just to make sure you get the idea of what I do. But, doing a half-and-half wouldn't be a terrible idea. I should think about that.

Hi, I'm new here but after seeing this topic I had to post here. I like everyone else am looking for background music >_>

but only from the show. I really only cared about two tracks, the music that played in Adventure 02 right when the kids said "digi armor energize" (the orchestral riff) and the music that plays during a happy moment and victory. It also played in the beginning of season one when the digimon first digivolved. Have those been released? I'm thinking of recording my own version, after all their both short. I just hope I gain the skills to improve my music playing.

I'm not sure how I would sell them, since I'm most likely gonna be buying or downloading them from places anyway. I'm still not 100% sure how this MIDI keyboard stuff works, but I don't think I can sell sounds I purchased and downloaded from online.

I remember there was something with him, but didnt exactly tremember what. I thought he didnt answer like every one else but in this case I annoyed him with out a reason.

MIDI files are special files that dont contain actual music but instruments. I have seen MIDI editor thatdisplays MIDI like excel table where from up do down goes seconds and from left to right goes instruments and evey square has notes from instrument that's playing at time.. Or something like that. dont remember exactly waht But If I am right there are notes like abcdefg or something and then there was somethig like g1 for some instrument I didn't remember.

All Instrument's sounds are taken from player's lib. Windows has it's own library for sounds. This means that on other operating systems it might sound differently. for example on Linux I hear MIDI files differently from what I hear using windows and on cell phone it plays also differently. If you have your own llibs and you want that everyone would hear midi file the way you hear you must convert them to wav or mp3 or ogg or some other format.

For example 1:30 long midi file is 24 KB large and mp3 file at same lenght @320 kb/s is 3512 KB which is 146,3 times larger. That's what you get when you use midi.

Your midi suff probably works similary to midi files. I guess it would just generate midi file as you play.

Biggest disadvantage of midi is that you can use only instruments/sounds from library which means you cant store non-music stuff such as words for song in midi file. And if you make library that has words and other non standard instruments then you must convert those midi files as mentioned above.

Advantage of midi is that if You can edit notes on it. If you try to edit MP3 you will never see something like Piano A1 but in MIDI file you are able to see this which means it's easy to fix. If you mistakenly use wrong note you dont have to rerecord it, you can just search your mistake from MIDI and then just replace note there, just for example you played A1 but there should be B1 then you just replace A with B assuming that you see it as text and then save.

This is how I think it might work. Of course it might work differently today by at least with old MIDI files it works like that.

They're fairly good for just pasting bits of episodes together, test3 is easily the best

Intrada now have a couple of nice looking deals with Disney. They've just released Pixar's "UP", and have done several Disney/Touchstone releases.

Someone has just beaten me to the punch in suggesting Digimon: The Movie to them.

This is, IMHO, our best shot at getting a release of the score.

The "Phantom-Menacing" term is probally out there with alot of things from this thread because this gets alot of traffic, its on the first page of google if you search "digimon omnimom born", i've had friends mention this without me even have to bring it up, ever, they dont even know im on this site, i think its great.
