Hello to you as I am back once again!

It's been over a year (edit: two years) since I uploaded anything to this channel and there are three reasons why:

1.) I haven't thought of any new ideas for content up until now.
2.) I've been taking college courses since my hiatus started. I didn't feel like devoting time into making new content because of college and the next thing...
3.) On top of college, I've worked real hard to get a cert in IT. It was very difficult to achieve but I accomplished it nonetheless.

So yeah, just life things and all the sort. I've been thinking about continuing to upload content to my channel in order to help it grow and eventually get monetized again after YouTube increased the requirements needed to allow that. Recently, I've gotten new ideas of content and this vid is likely the first of such content.

This vid is a remake of an old video I uploaded back in 2013 (when I was still a teen and just started making vids for YouTube.) The idea for this video started when I've received comments of my old video over the years pointing out the small mistakes I made. That video was made by converting the MIDI files of SimCity 2000 into MP3s since I didn't know how to play MIDIs back then. Now, I have more knowledge on how they work and I've been playing with MIDIs for years trying out different soundfonts and looking at MIDI renditions of songs I like. Falcosoft's Midi Player and the Arachno soundfont make a great combination in listening to MIDIs with awesome sound quality unlike the standard Wavetable Synth used on Windows.

Anyways, this vid maybe the first of its kind as I have midi files of other games (all of which are flight sims) that I'm also considering on making videos of. I'll be using the same setup as shown in this vid with Falcosoft's midi player and the Arachno soundfont when I plan on making these new vids. Outside of that, I still have to decide on what other type of content I should upload to this channel once I run out of Midi soundtracks to play. Perhaps I should upload gameplay footage since video games are my favorite subject on YouTube. We'll see what the future has to offer.

One more thing, I'll have my old video set to unlisted so that I want this vid to make more views. I'll change the title and put the link to this vid in the description once I finish uploading this. I hope people won't be too angry since that vid is my most watched on my channel (100,000+ views.) Because of that, I know I'll be losing one of my hot vids by setting that to unlisted. However, I'd much rather have my viewers have better quality content than old, lesser quality content.

So once again, I'm back on YouTube and I'm happy I now have something to upload again, let alone proposing more than one video real soon. I don't know how this'll play out but hopefully I'll come up with new ideas for content not too long. I'm still in the middle of taking college courses, but right now, I'm taking a break because of a vacation I'm going on with my family soon. This can interfere in me devoting time to make new vids but it'll only last over a week. I won't be taking another course again until late October so I should have a lot of time into making new vids after coming home from vacation.

Thank you for your time and I hope you enjoy this video I made.

If you want to listen to Midis with this config, you can download the stuff from these links:

I made this vid using DaVinci Resolve, it's a pretty advanced but pretty neat editing software you can download for free. There's also a paid version with more features if you want more from it (it's $295 so your call.)

A big thanks to the people who make these products and Maxis for making an awesome city-building simulator with an awesome soundtrack!
