Anyone know of a good open source / freeware program to make MP3s or MIDI files for video games?

for making sound files, i like to use Audacity. you can export them as MP3, WAV and OGG.

I already have a program like that - SoundForge. What I mean is a program where you can write music.

You mean write Sheet music and create midi from it?

I'm sure there are a few good free ware midi-creation program out there .. I think i had one at some point

If I find one I'll let you know. (You could always use Linux, I'm sure there's a similar open source tool :P)

EDIT: think I found what you need http://www.anvilstudio.com/ -- with the free version you can make as many midi files you want .. the non-free version also lets you mix audio clips, so you'll be fine with the free version

That... or something like FrutyLoops... http://www.fruityloops.com/

I've used anvil before. Its a pretty good midi program.

If you're looking for freeware synth stuff, propellerhead has made rebirth freeware: http://www.rebirthmuseum.com/

EDIT: Also, take a look at Skale http://www.skale.org/
Its a pretty good freeware tracker program.
