## List

### Other tracks

Other music tracks not used in the game series include:

Another track is used on backgrounds in the *Baldi's Basics Plus* early access trailer from 0:00 to 0:03.

While all of these tracks are used for mystman12's Kickstarter campaign video about *Baldi's Basics Plus* and are composed by Cady McGonigal. While some of them are used in the *Baldi's Basics* series (such as Creepy Old Computer), the rest of these tracks will unlikely be added into the games. Besides the available OST video, the "**Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Madness Soundtrack**" album can be downloaded from Dropbox.

## Trivia

### General

* The music in *Baldi's Basics Classic* was made by using Music Maker, which comes from an old software called Adventure Maker.
	+ The current music in *Baldi's Basics Plus* and onward was made with FL Studio.
* "The Side Effects of School" is "My Brother is a Clown" backwards with reverb.
* The music's filetype is, and was made to sound like MIDI files, which a lot of 90s games and websites used to cut back storage space.
* A part of the "99" soundtrack appears to be a parody of the song "Mary Had a Little Lamb".
* Despite the MIDI tracks being made in a music program, every song in the Kickstarter Madness Soundtrack was played on a Casio brand keyboard as it produces those sounds (most likely a CTK-1100 or 495). These tracks are the only ones that were not made with a music program, and are also the only tracks to be recorded with a mic to be in the game.
	+ The instrument for Creepy Old Computer, for example, is the Space Pad instrument on the keyboard.
	+ The keyboard used was most likely dated to be made in the late/early 90s as the newer keyboards do not produce the same sounding instruments, which might be the reasoning to why it was used for the soundtrack.
* The name for the track "Runner Star Home" is a reference to the web cartoon *Homestar Runner*.
* The music in all games excluding *Baldi's Basics Plus* and *Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered*, despite sounding like a `.midi`, is saved as `.wav` files in the game files. This is because mystman12 converted the `.midi` files to `.wav` since Unity does not support MIDI files.
	+ However, in *Baldi's Basics Plus* and *Baldi's Basics Classic Remastered*, the MIDI format is recoded into the game for most of the music using the Midi Player Tool Kit.
* Some of the music sounds rather repetitive. This may be a reference to repetitive soundtracks in many CD-ROM games to save space.
* Some of the more newer music featured in the *Baldi's Basics* series used Korg Wavestation VST because Mystman12 said that it is good to make 90s quality music with this.
* The track "She Made a Mistake Right at the End" seems to be a reference to the "To be Continued" meme, both in the name and music. As Baldi gets aggressive if the player gets an answer wrong, it seems very fitting in the situation of the meme that she was about to reach the end, but got a question wrong and Baldi attacked. This is because the meme is a "**to be continued**" sign, when something bad that is known is about to happen, similar to the "**We'll be right back**" meme. The music similarity can be seen here.

### *Baldi's Basics Plus*

* There are some unused files for the MIDI format such as "`Learn`", "`LearnFixed`", "`TransitionTestLoop`", "`TransitionTest`", "`SlapTest`", "`SlapTestSilent`", "`TeaserSlap`", etc. These are used as tests for some music functionality.
