Does this kind of thing help you any? It seems, from reading various posts of you and Pawd Gawd, that sometimes you can take a previously created MIDI file for a song and re-assign better sounds to tracks and add/remove parts. Is this accurate? Just trying to understand this process better and also trying to help aleviate work for you guys. I am happy to find MIDI files for you guys for songs I request and such. Let me know if these links are of any value for production.
[/ QUOTE ] Thanks Pod Shaman. I will definitely bookmark that site. I am seriously considering getting a new computer for my studio. I currently have an old Mac G3 and it runs pretty slow by today's standards. Plus I have a couple of CDs full of recording/audio software but they are for PC so I am not able to utilize them yet. Anyway, once I get that purchase, I will be combing through the Creating Backing Tracks tutorial section and probably be hitting you up with lots of questions on your production methods and such. So, this link you recommended will be a good resource for me once I get this whole MIDI thing rolling.
But for now I am still doing things the somewhat old-fashioned way, by recording samples off my keyboard and looping them. I am currently working on a BT for the theme song to the TV show The Munsters. I will try to post it sometime this week. it will be my first home-made BT that I will be posting.

That's definitley a great one. I have this (see attached) .xm version of this song which I got from Jerry Teacup's Metallica page. It is pretty good, but you will need WinAmp or some other compatible player to hear them. I don't exactly know what a .xm file is but these files sound very MIDI-based. Pod God/Khaos, can either of yous guys shed some light on this .xm format? These are some pretty darned good versions of these BTs, and I have saved every song from every Metallica album from his site, if any of your guy want to/can use them in your programs. Let me know....
Yes, I downloaded that entire site too, lol. The XM format is like midi but a bit different and you can't use soundfonts with them. I've been looking for a XM to Midi converter but so far I haven't had any luck [img]images/smilies/icon_ball.gif[/img] Apparantly FastTracker can do it...but I haven't figured it out yet.
I dig these versions (the .xm files from Jerry Teacup's Metallica Site) a lot. They are even interesting to listen to as stand alone tracks. I would make a few minor adjustments in parts if I knew more about this MIDI stuff, but overall, they are really nicely done.
