Default Are you a bad enough dude to increase FFR's classical library?

This thread is an offshoot of this thread which I suggest you read.

Quote:
The three best sites I've seen for classical MIDIs are http://www.classicalmidiconnection.com , http://kunstderfuge.com and http://www.classicalarchives.com in that order. With those three you literally have tens of thousands of public domain MIDIs at your disposal, which is an immense number of songs that could potentially be in FFR.
Basically, the huge lack of classical songs in FFR stems from recorded classical music being so difficult to step correctly, even with advanced syncing methods we have now like DDReam.

Tassel has said himself that "assuming that the remasterer took some time to do his thing, made it sound better than the original MIDI... and the MIDI already came from a creative commons source" he would be "ok with that." So, to get more classical music on FFR we need someone who is skilled in remastering a classical MIDI and making it sound excellent.

Obviously you, the musicians, know this is a difficult task, as someone can be a great musician but still be pretty mediocre at remastering classical MIDIs. FFR could greatly benefit from someone who is skilled in this area.

As far as how this could work:

Quote:
Obviously, though, someone is not going to convert every MIDI that comes along. What I think we should do is find a converter that would easily convert MIDIs to MP3s, and then afterwards file creators would make the file to the MIDI and find several performances of the MIDI to give the remasterer both reassurance that the file can go on FFR and an idea of what the piece should sound like when actually played. Then, the remasterer would provide the file creator with the MP3 and the file creator would simply sync/adjust the steps to the MIDI to the remastered MP3.
Is anyone here a bad enough dude to increase FFR's classical library?
