How would I go about recording a certain part in the .Mid format as I can do this with .Wav format but I am having a hard time with .Mid as Sound Recorder wont support it *sigh*

Could anyone please help me?

MIDI doesn't actually record anything; it does allow you to specify notes and which of a certain set of instruments to use, but there's no recording (except in the sense that with some programs it can take input from a keyboard, but that's probably not what you meant).

For instruments that use author-recorded samples, what you need is the MOD format or one of its descendants (XM, IT, S3M, etc.) These are kind of like "super-MIDI". Unfortunately, the down side is that BYOND does not, as yet, support them.

Dang...Oh well, I will just use the full .Mid format and hope that the downfall in the .Mid doesnt cause to much havok hehe
