Title: music problem...
Post by Mikee on 06.01.2008 at 09:12:39
Yeah, i have a music problem  :(

I would to make that in that music folder of MM, but when I have made this and write the right number at the music and at the mansion, i hear not from the music. I don't know but it's a midi File. I had to try this in a mp3 file but i can't hear the music. And now what i must make?  :-/

Mikee,

MM can't handle MIDI files.
You must put an AUDIO file (in mp3 format) into the Game Data > Music folder, assigned with the correct number and then everything will work just fine.

I'm not sure I understand correctly what you're asking ?!
Could you maybe repeat the question in German ?

If you're asking how you could use the music even if it is a MIDI file, well, that is possible but I wouldn't recommend it.

What you need to do:

1. You need a MIDI-capable synthesizer (either as hardware or as a software synth application within your computer).
2. You'll have that synthesizer play the MIDI file in question and
3. Record the output as an audio file.
4. The resulting audio file will most probably be in AIFF format, Stereo, 16 bit / 44,1 kHz...  which means you have to...
5. Convert the AIFF audio into the mp3 format, using a good converter application such as Audacity etc.

You see it's not that easy and I'm pretty sure it is not worth all the hassle, since most MIDI files sound really poor, as long as you do not use a high class synthesizer with good sounds.

Why don't you use a music file that is already in mp3 format (and to which you have the rights, of course) ??
