In Response To: Re: Come on, give us the tracks, man. (Adam)

: Considering the timing (c. 1997), the QuickTime instruments of the time were
: used and expected when Trojan was made. It could sound better, but the
: format not MIDI exactly.

: It’s QuickTime Music which is based on MIDI but adds the ability to mod
: instruments. Technically, the original Music is made up of QT movies
: concatenated together (can be made to store sampled-sound tracks, but only
: QT Music was used).

: The mods would be lost converting the tracks to basic MIDI. One of the Trojan
: tracks in particular (Song 17) makes use of custom instruments.

: Live playback is limited in quality for performance of course. The “Export to
: AIFF” feature will try to complete all the effects, and allows for higher
: sample rates (I think PPC only goes as high as 22KHz stereo); the only
: drawback to Exporting is bug(s) in the QT mixing code that produce pops. I
: did what I could to fix the pops with Audacity… a long, educating process.

: There are a few tools in the Archives (e.g., Marathon Music Exploder) to
: extract the song movies so they can be played back in native QuickTime (no
: need for an emulator afterward). Of course, you won't get the atmospheric
: effects I added for the MP3s…

Ah, I see that track 17 maintains the rave "aaa-aah" sound that GENERAL MIDI files couldn't bring back. You have done well =)
