Wrong file then. The chorus starts way too late, and some notes are missing/changed

You better call Microsoft and tell them they screwed my Windows copy.

abit off topic. but here is my audigy playing conquest.mid

7

patents != copyrights

I suspect the composition was created between 1989 and 2002, also being published shortly after in that interval.

Looking at this resource:
http://copyright.cornell.edu/resources/publicdomain.cfm

The copyright term is at least 95 years after publication, assuming proper registration by Microsoft.

Passport Please, a.k.a. Passport.mid was copyrighted by Passport Designs, Inc in 1991.

Some info about the company.

My bad.

Either way it's almost 30 years old. I don't forsee anybody caring. If they do, i am happy to take it down.

Audigy 4 pro in server 2008

Here is passport.mid recorded via my E-MU SoundEngine via dosmid v0.9.1 on msdos via my mixer.

CMI8738 played through optical SPDIF in Windows 98 SE with the CMI FM Synth.

Real quick, listen to these two and tell me which is better.

It's much quicker to listen if you convert to MP3 and attach to your post. Then it's just one click for the Open dialog and one more click to have VLC open the file. Going to Dropbox takes multiple clicks (closing out of their login prompt, etc), then downloading a 40MB file can take a minute or two.

dropbox has a built in player?

It's actually easier than downloading and opening an MP3 because dropbox will play it straight in your browser and you don't have to do anything extra.

But if it's such a problem, here you go.

Tell me which one is better.

I'm guessing it's because I'm on XP. Which doesn't seem so weird when you remember we're in a retro computing forum. 😉

Regarding your files, they both sounded like they were missing multiple instruments. But the instruments I could here in the first one sounded more original to the song. The 2nd one sounded like different instruments were intentionally picked.

Holy shit, you know what?

My soundfont doesn't have any drums in it. None whatsoever.

That sucks.

And the second one was an attempt to use different instruments that would make the song sound better for that soundfont.
