Alright the midi's of songs ive transcribed should work now. Give me feedback :)

Song List:
Aerosmith - Dream On
Bob Dylan - Dont Think Twice
Batman - Main Theme
Eagles - Desperado (Taken down because it sounds messed up halfway through. Weird percussion glitch)
Johnny Cash's version of Hurt
Jack Johnson - Flake
Linkin Park - Crawling (not my best work by any means)
Moulin Rouge - Come What May (Female friend wanted it)
Propellerheads - On Her Majesty's Secret Service (sounds like its finished but its not)
Percy Sledge - When A Man Loves a Woman (girl asked for it again)
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Breaking the Girl
Rolling Stones - Anybody Seen My Baby?
Semisonic - Closing Time


Edit: The percussion seems to be goofy on a few of these. Percy Sledge's When A Man Loves a Woman has an annoying crash cymbal in it. :(

The Aerosmith and RHCP sound pretty good :thumbsup:
Not familiar with all much of the other stuff... the Semisonic sounds a little fast, but I haven't heard the actual song in a while ;)

It seems that all of them start with that when they first load. I noticed it as well. If you stop it and start it over after it loads that goes away.

For some reason the Percussion is messed up. Thats not how my midi sounds here. Thats pretty bizarre. :confused:

The scratching noise is like a splash cymbal but I didnt have that in the original. Weird.

I'm using an SB Live! card if that makes any difference...its currently [default] using the SB Live! Synth A [E 800] with default banks/sounds. I know I can load a custom sound bank by chanign the settings...

All songs were handwritten on Finale... Most songs averaged about 3 hours, with the exception of the Batman Theme, and On Her Majesty's Secret Service which took a lot more time.
