Yeah, I did the same thing...except I never deleted them
So, the correct term for "midirip?" It's midirip. As far as I understand it, a midirip is when a wannabe remixer takes (or rips) the midi data of a song, modifies the instrumentation, changes the the tempo and puts a drumbeat over it. So it ends up sounding much like the MGSWSWS that it came from. The fact that this term is accurate is probably one of the reason a lot of people think "It sounds like MIDI" is accurate. Watch the progession:
*someone listens to a bad remix*
"Hmm, it sounds like you just ripped the midi data and put a drum beat over it"
*this is accurate...but wordy*
"Hmm, it sounds like you just ripped the midi and put a drum beat over it"
*this is less accurate...and still wordy*
"hmm, it sounds like you ripped the midi"
*this is less wordy...but more susceptible to grammatical errors*
"it sounds like you ripped a midi"
* changing the "the" to an "a"...such a harmless grammatical error...this is where it starts to go way wrong*
"it sounds like a midirip"
*this is...nerd slang...so it's grammatically incorrect but the definition is accurate...so it's allowed...big mistake*
"it sounds like a midi"
*yup, we're so lazy we drop the rip, and now this statement is totally wrong*
"sounds like midi"
*we've completely downgraded to gibberish that once meant something; the nerd community starts a revolt and all internet hell breaks loose*
that's the way I see it.
