LEOPHARD'S PROFILE

BGM Loops

I know that this is something that has been asked a lot around several RPG Maker communities. And I know that some people are probably not going to be happy with me asking it here. However, I have searched around with Google and around different websites as much as I could, yet nothing would give me the information I was looking for; Either I can't get it to work, it simply does not work at all, it's not compatible with Ogg Vorbis or it's simply not practical for use in RMXP.

So, I hope that somebody here can help me. In advance, I will mention that I have Audacity version 1.3.12-beta, just in case that I turn out to need an updated version or other tools.

Anyways, my problem is that I do want the original RMXP music in my game. However, I want instrumental versions, instead of the 16-bit music it has to offer. So, I've converted the MIDI files into MP3's with the use of Hamienet.com, and I got the following result:

I think that the music sounds great this way. However, to use it in RMXP, I'm going to have to cut it up to make an intro and a loop. This is what has been giving me problems; As precise as I try to be, it still sounds off-beat when I play it off in practise, and it just ruins the improved music for me. What I basically want to do is create a seamless loop, one where (besides the fragment of reloading time in RMXP) the loop is completely unnoticable.

Is this possible to accomplish, without having to spend half an hour per song to try to be as precise as you can be? Any advice you can give me is welcome.

Another newcomer

Hello there! This is Leophard, the newest newbie to bless these forums with his prescence and his plethora of questions. Looking forward to it yet? Hehe.

Anyways, I'm a 20 year old Dutch college student, going on my third year in Webdesign. I've been playing video games for pretty much as long as I can remember, and I'm particular fond of RPG's; which is why I want to make my own one.

I've bought RPG Maker XP a while ago, pretty much because it was the cheapest version available. I have made a few attempts with trying to get started with creation my video game already, with varying results... But I've never managed to get far. Yet this Summer, I intend to at the very least finish up to the point of my having a functional Demo for the public to play.

I was referred to this website by a friend of mine on Ponychan (Yes, I'm a Brony. Don't worry, I won't bite or try to convert othhers.), and I figured that it was a good opportunity to get some ideas and knowledge, and to perhaps see if my game's concept is appealing to the community.

Anyways, it's a pleasure to meet you, and I hope to see you around on the forums!
