MIRAK'S PROFILE

Using Ace, my empirical understanding is that it has a lot of problems playing many sounds in quick succesion. When I tried doing it, one or more sounds would inevitably get skipped.

I hope you find a solution and it really isn't an unfixable quirk of the engine.

That perspective really is eye candy. Props for the effort on the pre rendered bgs!

Using midi music in it's native format in 2018 is lighting a stick of dynamite that you dont know might be a dud. Why? Because every other computer/laptop has a different sound card and makes midis sound differently, with some computers even lacking a midi driver altogether, making midis go silent. The experience you're crafting in your game might be affected by this.

If you give a toss about audio in your games you need to face the fact that most affordable home computers today have loads of space. We're not living in an age where 128GB disc drives are the norm anymore. You really, really don't need to sacrifice audio quality to the extent of using an unreliable set of instructions packaged as a "music" file in an age where compression for full audio files exist.

If one cares so much about the nostalgia factor, there are reliable ways of rendering midi files to mp3, wav, ogg, etc which keep the blip blops sounding just the way you like consistent across all machines.

This kind of topic (i realize this was a necro) always remind me of how nobuo uematsu, after finishing final fantasy 7's soundtrack and begginning to work on final fantasy 8's, realized that a bit more loading time and slightly bigger files were a good sacrifice to make if it meant he could bring better audio quality to the project. If he could realize this back then, it puzzles me when people can't realize that NOW that we have so many alternative options.
