Your ressources for composing?

[Campylobacter jejuni]

Well, I'd just thought we'd share our sources for our pieces there, that is unless they have been self-composed from scratch, obviously.


Personally I use this splendid link list here (http://icking-music-archive.org/oth_mus_archives.php). Got quite some sheets and midis ready for ab/use.

I have a decent amount of sites and pages that have midis for my Mabi composing use.


VGMusic (http://www.vgmusic.com/) - Quite possibly the biggest collection of video game music midis.
HaimeNET (http://www.hamienet.com/) - Another preferred site of mine. BIG variety in over several categories. Seems to have a download limit per day allowing 1 refresh or so, but rarely do I ever hit that.
thelegendofmax.net (http://www.thelegendofmax.net/ddr/midis/) & Smurfy Sailor's DDR Midi Palace (http://phantomhaunter.tripod.com/) - Two places I go to for my DDR midi needs, though some links have a couple errors/misleadings here and there.
Eurodance Encyclopaedia (http://www.eurokdj.com/ringtones/index_midis.php) - Look at how many eurodance songs there are, though about a good 60% are listed as incomplete and a few "complete" ones are aren't to me*, still eurodance is one of my, if not the favorite genre of mine so it's worth a look for me.
Wave Theme Songs (http://www.surf.to/midithemes) - Good collection of TV theme song midis along with a couple of movie themes.
Thai Lyrics (http://thailyrics.com/midi/english/index.asp?typ=1) - Good amount of pop music.
Robert's Midi Jukebox (http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/kentish/116/midi/index.html) - Now THIS is a great example of what you can call an amateur page on the internet from the 1990s: Simple animated gif background, even simpler style showing the contents, and a link to a webring at the bottom of the page (Do people still do webrings nowadays?). Add in some midi automatically playing in the background that you can't turn off and call the package of cheap nostalgia complete. As for the midis themselves, I just can't help but try out a few, the types of songs in there is up my alley.
Cool MIDI (http://www.cool-midi.com/) - The first site I managed to get a decent selection out of when I started working on transcribing midis into MML for Mabi. Also contains pop songs. (And when visiting the page to get the url for this post, I died inside... :pika_dead: Oh humanity, why must I keep losing faith of you?)


There are more sites in my folder, but these are among the most notable.

*Let me put it into detail, a personal pet peeve of mine when it comes to hunting midis for Mabi is when the midi for the song lacks a vocal track. For some songs I can't even work on because the vocals are the meat of their song. One such example is when I try to hunt for a midi of The Bloodhound Gang's Bad Touch; the most notable midi of it in my memory of the early internet days and when I did recent hunts falls under this problem.

I never even heard of webrings. :O


Also I don't hear any music.

A webring (or web ring) is a collection of websites linked together in a circular structure, and usually organized around a specific theme, often educational or social. They were popular in the 1990s and early 2000s, particularly among amateur websites, but have since become quite rare.

On the music, there isn't. I should've rephrased that to if there was some midi automatically playing in the background.
