Music:

MODplug Tracker Woody made his final fight song with this: the menu song of Turbulence, pretty damn nice.
Vpiano Play piano (with all kind of crazy midi instruments) on your computer keyboard.


Can we list usable shareware too, like Graphicsgale?

What do people prefer for game music? Mixing software (of the EJay etc variety) or notation/scoring software (such as sibelius, noteworthy and finale)?

Most recently I've been using a combination of the awesome mix program Acid music (by Sonic Foundry) and vpiano. So I record small samples done with vpiano, and then mix, combine and repeat them and all with Acid music. I've also been playing around with MODplug Tracker a bit because Woody made such a nice song with it, and hope to continue with that.

@DTM: If you are entitled to a copy of Ejay but lost it, can't you download and burn it legally then?
@Yonni: your links above are pointing to nothing!

That's because he used "" around the URL. It fails when that is done.

I don't suppose anyone knows where I might download it via http or ftp?

Modplug is too complex for me. Finale Notepad is great but you don't seem to be able to change instruments? Anyone know any more free midi arranging or scoring software?

I went looking for free scoring software a while ago, lots of demos avaliable, and there are a few interpreters of MusicXML, but I didn't like the look of that, you may however.

If you are still in posession of an old computer, you can use QuickBasic for programming your music!

I think I'll be going for mixing software as opposed to scoring software.

Wow moogle I thought the same. It also works on newer computers that still have a built-in speaker.

Play "abcabcabc" :aharr:

There is also an advanced command where you can chose duration and frequency - that produced nice sirenes for me in the past.

And DTM, can't you use a p2p program? And if not, maybe Moogle could be so sweet to mirror it for you?

In fact, I have been looking for Ejay, just out of curiosity of course, but I couldn't find it.

Would that be spent on assorted biscuits or on a specific type?

I'm meant since he has owned it that doesn't make it an illegal download and was only for people who still own it

Aha but you don't realise by "Dance Ejay" I implicitly mean Dance Ejay 2.

Now if you could find me a download of that I would be happy!
