How do I make any song I want? I would like to make my own music as I cannot find the music I like, or just don't want to copy and paste. I also do not have musical knowledge whatsoever, so I cannot make it by hand and would like to know if there's any kind of program or something I could use to convert the songs I want into midi.

    You would need to download a program such as 3mle or mabilicco
    As far as having no music knowledge whatsoever you would just need to import a midi file into the program.
    however even doing that is mostly likely to be a hit or miss for sounding like the midi.
    this is because you can only have three tracks and there is a character limit on the composing skill.
    Which is also tedious to get to rank 1.

    That be said I have had alot of success in using midi files from musescore. So you may want to look on that website for midi files of the song you want.
    Good luck

    to start composing in mabi go to the book store in Dunbarton and talk to a girl named Aeira (it is next to the magic school in Dunbarton) and buy Introduction to Music Composition for 500 gold to gain the composing skill and to gain the music knowledge skill buy Music Theory for 80k gold. you will need both these skills to compose anything in mabi and they can be annoying to train but it is really worth it to get both those skills to rank 1. leveling composing increases the character limit you can put on your scores and leveling music knowledge improves the quality of the scores you compose. if you want to improve how well your instruments play you could try finding a Hamelin's Tuner on the player market or run Musical Math Dungeon for a chance to get a Tuning Kit from the end chest which greatly improves a instruments sound quality.

    Ranking music theory just make your songs harder to play and gives them magical music buff.
    Imo its not worth the hassle cause no one even uses magical music.
    Also if you dont rank it it makes you less likely to fail playing at r1 playing, because the difficulty of the score will be rF.

    My question wasn't on how to rank composition. Thank you though.

    About those books you read to rank Composition... they actually do explain how to make any song you want.

    If you're going to go for the midi conversion route, good luck. From my experience trying to get a usable MML out of midis is a bigger hassle than just transcribing the notes.

    This is a good guide on how to MIDI -> MML, but if you have no musical or MML knowledge, it will be difficult to actually turn the inevitably huge glop of MML into a usable song. My best suggestions would be to: 1) learn MML, or 2) find somebody who does know how to do it properly and pay them to compose the songs you want, or 3) just try to find the songs in MML. https://mabibeats.com/ is the largest free MML bank I know of that's in English; https://mabinogi.fws.tw/ac_comproser.php is a larger bank but it's in Japanese and Chinese.

    Also, I can second (third? fourth?) that there isn't a reliable program that turns mp3/mp4 into MIDI. You're better off finding the song already in MIDI (which MuseScore can help with).
