Converting MIDI to MP3

Yeah, I've got the software, but when I try to download the files, I need to log in, and it keeps coming back with "Bad Registration." And wont let me register...

Weird lets me register. Really though, just try to register again and see what happens. If not, then just google soundfonts and see what you can find.

Hi,

I've searched the forums and couldn't find a similar thread.

Is there an easy, or free way to convert MIDI files to MP3?

If you have a decent sound card on your computer you should be able to "record whatever you can hear" from the sound card. I have a Sound Blaster Live Drive card and it comes with a midi synthesizer and a number of different Sound Fonts to create different midi instruments on the synthesizer. So if I wanted to make a MP3 recording, I would first create a Wave (.WAV) recording by selecting the "record whatever you hear" feature in the Sound Blaster Mixer, and it would record whatever sounds the Midi Synthesizer is playing, plus I could also simultaneously mix in 2 audio tracks (vocals, guitar, etc). Then finally you would need to get a software conversion utility to create the .MP3 file from the .WAV file. It's not hard to find such converting software for a low price. Sounds like you want to create a finished recording by using midi synthesizers. If so, try to find some copies of Computer Music magazine, they frequently deal with that topic and suggest hardware for that purpose.
