Can anyone name a few nice websites (free or pay) that have complete MIDI files available. By complete i mean a tempo map, and some instruments.
Not to many if any will have a tempo map that works with RB. I have come across a few that have maps but they dont work in game. There are several good sites I use. Geerdes, midihits, midispot, Yamaha soft & Cybermidi are where I get most of my paid midis. Very few free midis out there will be worth using
I’ve had some good luck with midiworld. They are free and are usually pretty good enough to get a good start from them at least.
I don’t update the site so much anymore (in case it wasn’t obvious from that 2008 date), and the collection skews more toward older pop and rock songs, but I can at least guarantee there aren’t any commercial MIDIs here, and some of them are actually pretty darn good. Others, not so much, but even those can make for good references.
Cool site Fuji. I see a few gems in there. I have searched many times for midis & have never seen that site. I wished other sites organized them that good
Songsterr has a good number of GP5 files, which can be translated to MIDI using the appropriate Guitar Pro 5 app. You’ll almost never (like 0.01% of the time) find a tempo map that is 100% accurate, as MIDI files uses an average tempo as where recorded music uses variable tempo, due to humans playing. Electronic music (MIDI/programmed music) have more chances to be accurate, but even then some composers varies the tempo to make it more natural.
Other solution is getting sheets, but you’d have to write the MIDI maually. Though, sheets are usually way more accurate.
A third solution would be to get rocksmith custom if it exists and use this Tempo Map (they are importable in EoF, then just save for RB3)
I use Song Galaxy. You have to pay for them but 99% Percent of the time they have everything you need, with all the tracks nicely named as well

Plus they let you download a demo, which sometimes help.
Also, no, and I mean no, music MIDI has a tempo map suitable for Rock Band gameplay.
I’ve gotten some midi’s from http://en.midimelody.ru/ that I couldn’t find anywhere else.
Also, if you ever find links to midi files that no longer work, be sure to throw that link into archive.org and see if you can find it that way. I’ve gotten lucky a few times, though certainly no more than 1 in 4.

Yes indeed! First time I’ve seen a MIDI of “All My Love” by Zep!!!

I rely heavily on GP files. There are a ton of sites with good Guitar Pro tabs, including gprotab.net. When you load one of these into your app, you can isolate each instrument and export an audio (wav) file and a midi for that track. That is great for charting.
Truly top-notch quality tabs are made by a team of pros for the company, on MySongBook. Anything there will be close to 98% accurate, in all tracks. Unfortunately, even when you buy one of their tabs, they disable all the export features. I make an audio file for each track using Sound Recorder, and use the tab to chart that track by hand. No MIDI export function.
If anyone has any interest in this, get a copy of Guitar Pro, contact me, and I’ll walk you through the steps.
