[Suggestions Request] MIDI music maker with MP3 export feature

[uglywolf]

First, I am sorry to ask this out of the blue and also sorry if I suddenly break any rules without I noticed on this topic.


As the title was, I wanted to ask if you know any MIDI making softwere that could be used to make MP3 for BGM and such.


I won't ask for the advanced one, but I don't think I would like to have the one that was too simple either...


Of course, any freeware tools are welcomed, but its not hurt to ask about the ones on sell either.


Lastly, I know this is rather a dumb questions to ask considering we could find it over google...


I am sorry, I just wanted to know people preferences of [what does this have, and what does that give].


Please forgive my idiocy.

Hi there and welcome to the forums. 


Have you tried this one out?

I also use this one personally:

Spoiler

We do not support MIDI and MP3 for various reasons.


Since RPG Maker MV games are automatically HTML5, this makes MIDI obsolete. MP3 doesn't have proper looping features as OGG has so instead we support AAC/M4a which is MP3 Equivalent.


If you want more information try reading this one out.

Additionally, you either forgot or didn't know that MIDI is not an audio format, it's a notation format.


That is a titanic technical difference and one reason why the game industry stopped using MIDI as soon as possible.


You cannot convert MIDI to MP3, you need a synthesizer to create audio from a MIDI-notation.

Thank you for the heads up, and I am sorry that I posted on the wrong section before.
I kind of forgotten about OGG, I didn't know RMMV doesn't suport MP3 anymore


my deepest apolagies for not following the news...


But yeah, since it has come to this.. I guess its bettter to have OGG format directly.


Again, my apolagy for being an idiot.

You aren't an idiot, you were just missing knowledge. Idiots are only those who can't learn new things ;-)

I am sorry, and thank you..


While I am at it, is OGG are the only format that is supported on RMMV for now?


I'd like to know if there were other formats for it, because to my skill MIDI-like musics are the only thing I am capable to making my own BGM.

 

[Andar]

no, there are two different audioformats required - required because depending on the device you deploy to, one or the other will be used (because the other can't be used due to device hardware)

 

[uglywolf]

I see, I uess I should try to check about that.
Rather.. where could I take a look for such infromation? if may I ask.

Well, I read about it in the help file, but I don't know much more about it because I don't know much about audio files in general...

The file formats that are playable depend on the operating environment, so please prepare the below 2 file formats with the same file name.

• Ogg Vorbis(.ogg)
  
• AAC(.m4a)
  

* When creating a game that will be played on Windows or Mac, please prepare only the Ogg Vorbis file format. When creating a game that will be released on the web or made for Android/iOS, both file formats are required.
