Serephim Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 Basically, what the title says. I started playing around with the one Pixel included in the Cavestory Deluxe package, but it doesn't export to any usable file format.... Anyone know of one similar? I need something newbie friendly, thats all. Something i can go from brain-speaker to in not too retarded an amount of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I don't have much experience with this type of thing but I've heard good things about mixcraft. It being simple and what not. I don't think it comes with a ton of samples but your can get more. I found some using this tracker type thing that looks for different these nicely wrapped little packages of useful resources that you can download from multiple peers at one time. Maybe you've heard of it its quite popular. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slow_Motion Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 You could try FL studio I guess you could say its easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asuma Posted May 29, 2010 Report Share Posted May 29, 2010 I think there's a plugin for MMF2 that lets you use PXTone. IN any case, you might find something useful here. http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/downloads_1.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael B. Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Noteflight's fun, but it's a composition program. I wouldn't see why it be a bad choice though, sheet music isn't that hard to read, and it's quite organized. Edit: Replay in the editor is rather quiet though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarkSS Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 I started playing around with the one Pixel included in the Cavestory Deluxe package, but it doesn't export to any usable file format.... It can export to WAV, which you can then use another program like winLAME to convert it to OGG or MP3. I don't have much experience with this type of thing but I've heard good things about mixcraft. Mixcraft is just a Garageband rip-off that does so very poorly; I found trying to do anything with it very frustrating, not to mention it could care less for lower-end computers. (The interface is hideous too.) I think there's a plugin for MMF2 that lets you use PXTone. Works pretty well too, though it sadly doesn't support some/all of the effect options added to the newer PXTone versions. On-topic: I started off using Anvil Studio, which though is a midi-program, it is simple enough to help you get on your two feet. From there I went into FlStudio, and though the transition felt quite steep at first, it became rather easy to use once I knew my way around the different aspects of the software. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibanez87 Posted May 31, 2010 Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Well, if you just wanna do some simple general midi stuff, you could use anvil studio. http://www.anvilstudio.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serephim Posted May 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2010 Thanks alot you guys, this is immensely helpful. Not knowing alot about the ins and outs of this kind of think makes searching for a decent starting point really really difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
