So a while ago, I got the midi and soundfont files from Morusque for the WiiWare soundtrack. I didn't think much of them at the time, I had no experience editing midi files and the soundfont file was incompatible with all modern programs anyways.
A month ago, however, I made a groundbreaking yet embarrassingly simple discovery:
I could save each track as a separate sound file.
This allows me total control not only over the volume of every instrument, revealing ones that were silent and allowing me to practice perfectly balancing them, but it also gave me the freedom to make very precise edits of the "quirks" that were baked into each song, such as voices that randomly got louder for a few seconds. I've also added reverb in choice places to aid the ambiance and mask the unpleasant square instruments.
I cannot over-exaggerate how much I've managed to perfect every song, from their melodies to their beats and even their overall sound quality. I'm even attempting to get in contact with Nicalis in the hopes that they could adopt it as the fixed version.
I hope you get a chance to give it a listen, and provide me with your thoughts and feedback.
Thank you.
