Best bet is to make it a progressive song, ending and starting quietly enough that if it dosnt loop, you dont notice.

1: They were probably made with pirated software making it illegal to sell them, if not even to own them
2: Why advertise them on a forum where the main posters are more than good enough to make their own loops, at several times the quality.
3: The samples are really crap as it is.
4: They're utterly useless.

Put one of my remixes in there, would add a nostalgic charm ;)

Goldweave should be able to do it, but theres no simple 'push button to loop', you have to do it manualy, and thats not an easy task. I personaly use soundforge, and i'll describe the process, and it should be pretty similar to goldweave too.

1: Open the mp3 that you want to loop
2: Find the start and the end of the piece you want to loop and drop markers (or goldweaves equivilant) using M (or whatever)
3: Drag the markers "out" a bit to give you some 'slack' to work with.
4: delete everything before and after the markers, leaving you with the middle looping section
5: ajust, carefully, using deleting to get rid of any excess sound before or after the loop.

However, its IMPOSSIBLE to make an mp3 loop perfectly on playback in any of todays big music players (winamp, WMP, Creative media source etc..) and there will always be a moment of silence before end and start. Thats why the only practical use for loops is in games or movies, as they cant truely be played back in any other way.

'Track is empty' is most likely some kind of conversion error. Check you arnt converting it with protection, and check to make sure its at the right hertz rating (44.1khz), although if its the hertz it would normally just affect the play speed on the flash sample button...

Intensive interrigation. Electrodes to the pubes, forced feeding of oil that kinda thing. Makes most flash files crack in a few hours.

Flash compresses all sounds in file to a sort of mp3 clone apon compiling. Theres settings in file>publish settings> SWF tab that let you set the quality of sound. Streaming sound and sound instances are treated differantly for whatever reason, so you can set it individualy. Of course, this is assuming the sound quality is only crap in the swf...

I've said it a million times and i'll say it again. If you want to make midi into mp3's, dont bother with the conversion programs. they dont often give you the same effect that you get when you listen to your midi. Its best to get some hardware (SB Live - £30-£50) that can record straight off audio out at good quality. That way the mp3 sounds exactly like the midi as you hear it.

Friendly warning,

Don't post advertisements to your music. Its against forum rules and can get you banned. Read the stikies before you post.

You're probably better off recording straight from audio out. Some soundcards (audigys, sblive, etc) have the ability to set the recording channel as 'what you hear' mode so you just open up your recording and midi programs, hit record on the recording and play on the midi, and it will record exactly like it plays.

I always found midi to wav converters to be a tad slow and somwhat pointless, because you never know what you'll get on the other side of the conversion.

Sounds like a love letter to me.

If only i could sing as good as i do in the shower...

Yup, though somewhat inspired by the London Underground song and rathergood.com's style.

Anything from mario. Try the mario 64 credits music, i dont think that has been done too much. Zelda is a good choice if you want trancy remixes, go prodding around for an orchesteral track then synth it up horrid, so to speak.

I dont care what anyone says, that is by FAR his best track.

Sorry about lack of links, for some reason they arnt working like they should do..

They're all outdated versions, some of the lyrics have changed and i have almost got a complte version with lyrics included. For those of you who dont get it, its about when British Airways was on strike a week ago because the flight caterers were on strike, and hundreds of people were stranded at Heathrow Airport and couldnt go anywhere.

A 3 second long riff? Thats like asking for two minutes of sex.

I dont think there are many techno/trance with vocals. Its next to impossible to make without unintentionaly making it sound really cheesey.

about half of all my tracks used in the portal were loops. Most of these loops were in games. Animators making movies are more interested in short tracks, because its hard to end a loop in a movie, but easy in a game. Full tracks very rarely get used though, and the ones that do are normaly video game remixes (from experience).

If you want people to review your audio and vote, do full tracks. If you want your audio to be used, do video game loops. It just depends on what you want.

You'll watch a flash movie once. Play a game once, or possibly twice.

A good track of music however, you never get bored of.

no, i definatly MEAN vocoding. When certain pop groups through in a random vocoded section because they think it sounds 'cool' and 'withit'.

Although a lot of them do use autotune as well.

its sort of a mix between jungle and techno...

I always considered it too generic to consider a genre of music.

Tell you what though, i have a 1976 shure microphone, cast metal studio mic. Its better quality than many of the models out today, and its sensitive enough that i used it as an auxirrilary(sp?) mic when i did sound for a musical. Seriously, this thing would pick up whispers at five foot, and let you amplify it so its crystal clear, and it didnt even give off any static.

The foam on the actual cover rotted away though, i need to make some replacements for it. Dont want any spit getting on that vintage 1970's diaphragm ;)

Great. Now my posts are feeding dirty minded people ;)

Why dont you just.. google the game. its EVERYWHERE.

If you cant get it, make it yourself :D

I found the word 'huzzah' gets peoples attention. I have yet to figure out why.

Everything except that 'pop' that they try to pass off as music. You know the stuff, music where the lead singer is 18 years old and the voice is vocoded so it sounds on key.

thanks tho for your kind words!

So to get lots of exposure, i have to become a homosexual? Well, if it comes down to that...

The distortion unit is amazing. Synth + distortion + effects modules = UBER.

Distorted drums work great in reason too, instead of like in other programs where you have samples of pre-distorted drums, reason does it live.
