Re: Midi to Wav, then to MP3

Re: Midi to Wav, then to MP3

2005-03-01 by Terry Smythe

In response to an appeal for a utility to migrate a midi file 
into MP3, perhaps the answer lies in converting the midi file 
into wav format first.    I have found a first rate utility that 
does this exceedingly well.   See:

http://onefreehost.com/saxguru/Timidity.html

Timidity has a killer piano sound font built into it, and does 
the conversion silently real time.    So, as a midi tune 
"plays", it makes the conversion.    It will work in batch mode, 
so set it in motion late at night, and wake up to a full package 
of great wav formated files.

Then, migrating from wav to MP3 is a very simple process 
achievable by many utilities out there, simultaneous with 
burning a CD.

Give it a whirl.

Regards,

Terry
