Now here's something from my childhood i didn't expect to actually find. I kept finding the remasters and orchestrals but they never felt right. Good god I'm home. Thanks.
eh, the original compositions that got converted to the FM synth had a lot more things in them, but I guess part of the blame is the hardware and the rest goes to their driver
I recently played the game (again!) and this is exactly what I'm looking for (not the remasterization). These melodies will be on my mind for the next weeks/months. Awesome work! 😎👌
@@Darbyjack When it comes to Day of the Tentacle, the game had three versions of every song, one for each of the different MIDI hardwares/sound cards of the time: AdLib, Roland MT-32, and General MIDI. When people refer to the "MIDI" version of the DOTC OST, they're typically referring to the general MIDI one, which is usually seen as the highest quality one (and iirc, what the remasters based their version of the OST off of)
Jesus christ THANK YOU for this. I've been looking for this for years... Remember this clearly from my childhood. The remastered shite doesn't do it for me, the crispiness of the sound sounds so cheap.. Somehow I love this lo-fi layer of the original, it brings out all the right flavours for me. Was around 5yo when the game came out, remember me and my teenage brother pretending to sleep and waiting for my parents to go and playing this all night in our room. The ambiance of this soundtrack used to mesmerise me as a kid. It has this wacky 90's feel to it, that zeitgeist... I loved it. Now I listen it in the middle of the night with my lava lamp on having this feeling I had so many many years back. I realised how many wacky things I got in my room... Like right straight from the DOTT. Doing the full circle... who'd have known :) Thanks for taking me right back! It really is precious as hell...
Masterpiece. I played a few Sierra and LucasArts games when I was little and when I grew up I cached up on some missing titles. Played this only in 2006 and the adlib sounds really nail it. The "remastered" version don't make any sense whatsoever. A real orchestra live show would be great, but other than that the original is the best. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
OOOOOOOH MY GOSH.. thank you so much for this, I agree this version may not be as high quality but it sounds better to me I have been looking for this for years and years. I even made my own soundtrack from the files from DOTT remastered but some of the cues were missing(including the opening with the distortion sound) With all the other versions people chose to use the "Remastered" version of the ost instead so this is a great find
Though you seem to be missing the "Meanwhilst" cue when you're in the past and a cutaway happens. Also when Dr. Fred is woken up I think it's a slight variation of the theme used in "The Super Battery"
@@jasonelmore9527 You're right! I only realized I missed the "Meanwhilst" cue after uploading the video... And I guess the Dr Fred waking up cue was similar enough to the Red Edison super battery cue that I didn't notice that it was different
@@ElliottRidgway I think the only difference in waking Dr.Fred is 1) the startup that is absent alone from the double fine explorer files and 2) possibly a slight variation toward the middle or end, though that might actually be the remastered game in classic mode. I can probably get those myself although meanwhilst will have to take some patience, seeing as it's random and unlike the news in the present it can't be triggered by doing certain things
Actually there might not be much of a difference if at all after the startup but meanwhilst has 2 somewhat unique short versions of both Betsy Ross and Ben Franklin, I mostly know about them from the files found with double fine explorer from DOTT remastered. However the Ben Franklin one was in the "Lucas arts soundtracks" release online. Also the DOTT remastered game has an annoying musical problem with the chattering teeth in that in classic mode it has high pitched sound that is normal in the original release, which is one of the reasons I'm glad you put this up
Okay I have a major problem that I need help with, see I recorded the meanwhilst stuff from my laptop with audacity, but then I found out that everything I record from a computer has a computer whirring noise. It ruined several things I had recorded so I was wondering, how did you record your tracks without a computer humming noise in the background?
Sorry to hear that some tracks are missing! Edit: There are also glitches in the audio, such as at 35:46. Thanks for uploading, anyway, it's fun to listen to on this evening, but I hope I'll find the soundtrack without these flaws elsewhere some time to listen to more often! Edit 2: Seems like it will be hard to make such a soundtrack render in general, because of the workings of iMUSE! Edit 3: Yeah wow, listen to Yann van der Cruysen's upload, he has the Rossini theme play out, and they made so much of it!
Thiss and the Sam and Max adlib soundblaster have eluded me for years. Thank you so much for this. Do you have the tracks split into seperate pieces? or could you provide a RAR file with the file to add to my archive?
Hi Elliot! I have been watching through all of your films! So far I have watched the DOTT one you guys did 3 times or so. The case of the snatched Cerebrum, I LOVED IT SO MUCH! I"M WATCHING IT AGAIN TODAY! And I started the "Shadow of the Pink Panther" ! :D I also wanted to let you know that I have started the filming for my movie. It should come out early next year! 😁😁
We just drifted apart, got interested in different things as time went on. Case of the Snatched Cerebrum was our last big project together, although Keaton made a cameo in our Digital Monsters film from 2014. By the way, I certainly don't mind answering personal questions like this via UA-cam comments, but maybe it would be more appropriate to email me? Especially since this current video has nothing to do with my film projects. Feel free to email me at elliott.m.ridgway@gmail.com !
Okay. You can delete those comments if you want to. I'm sorry if I sound like a stalker. If I want to ask anymore things I will use the email instead! I hope i'm not coming off as annoying. :/ P.S Sorry.
I looked at the Video editor you suggested, it looks good but it' way too much money for me right now. I found two free editors one is called Blender, the other is called Light works. If you have heard of either of these would you recommend them?
Oops, sorry! I thought Elements was free. I use Blender for 3d animation, but I don't know how good of a video editor it is. You might also try DaVinci Resolve, I know for sure that it's free, but it's kinda hard to use.
Okay! I think I will get it! I really hate how Disney shut down Lucasarts and cancelled all the projects that they had been working on. That is one of the reasons that I don't like Disney as much as I used to. Did you know that there was a Monkey Island film being made. And Disney cancelled it. I WAS SO MAD!! Also have you played Thimbleweed Park or is it not very good.
@@dottthemovie Thimbleweed Park is excellent! I would say it's most similar to Maniac Mansion, but not as difficult. I totally consider it part of the LucasArts adventure game library, even though it's not technically by LucasArts :)
Ok thanks so much, I did know that I could always get music from the actual game, but I would then have trouble removing sound affects that I wouldn't want. Thanks so much! Also I have uploaded my second video!
1:21:36 @ Tentacle Disco - It is a bad cut! The following repeatitions sounds here not the same as it is in the original game, and that bad cut can be heard easily! What a disappointment!
Try blasting this at home when looking for something or solving a problem.
The Adlib chip really seems to suit cartoon music.
Now here's something from my childhood i didn't expect to actually find. I kept finding the remasters and orchestrals but they never felt right. Good god I'm home. Thanks.
Same thing my man, same thing. Takes me right there
eh, the original compositions that got converted to the FM synth had a lot more things in them, but I guess part of the blame is the hardware and the rest goes to their driver
so kid you want a cigar?
@@itsaguinness OK, but only if you promise not to light it this time.
Adlib is so superior to modern remasters.
This is the one I'm used to. The other one on UA-cam is not even close to what I remember as a kid.
I recently played the game (again!) and this is exactly what I'm looking for (not the remasterization).
These melodies will be on my mind for the next weeks/months. Awesome work! 😎👌
Yes!! I loved the music. This sounds "correct" to me also. I remember trying to play the theme on my Clarinet haha
I personally think that this sounds better than the MIDI one
For this game, I think the 3 versions (MT-32 / GM(SC-55) / Adlib) sounds cool. But i also grew with the SB version.
This sounds amazing: www.reddit.com/r/vintagecomputing/comments/i4pq94/day_of_the_tentacle_intro_with_roland_cm64
Is that a joke? This is MIDI...

When I was little I used to get so scared whenever the IRS came.
You learned a very valuable lesson. BE VERY AFRAID OF THE IRS.
HAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAA!
TYSM! :D

Not even the Joker will take on the IRS...
Thanks very much for getting the Adlib on here. Very much appreciated.
This is how the music is supposed to sound for me at least :)

This is my nostalgia game song. Thank you. The sound is so acurate
I listened to this two days in a row!

I am listening to this all yet again!
I used to listen to this while doing my uni essays the night before due. That was a decade ago - thank you so much, been waiting years for this!
Hi Elliot, Just dropping in to say that I got DOTT Remastered! IT"S AMAZING!!!
20:36 is also in Sam & Max (Snuckey's)
Yes, it's the same.
I somehow managed to get all the achievements for DOTT Remastered! I'm now collecting the emoticons, backgrounds, and Trading cards now!
I'm currently watching your "Shadow of the Pink Panther film" IT"S AMAZING!!!!
what
Right now I am making the Sludge O Matic Machine for my movie! I have also started filming.
Sorry to hear that some tracks are missing! Edit: There are also glitches in the audio, such as at 35:46. Thanks for uploading, anyway, it's fun to listen to on this evening, but I hope I'll find the soundtrack without these flaws elsewhere some time to listen to more often!

Thank you so much! I'm flattered you really liked it!
Please reply: I was wondering if there were any completely free video editing software that you would recommend?
@@dottthemovie I'd recommend Adobe Premiere Elements
Thank you I'll check it out.
I looked it up but it's over $150 dollars :(
I just finished listening to it.
DOTT The Movie Dr. Fred's Lab is so smooth with an air of mystery. Love that theme.
Thanks bro !
Me after "Rap on the forehead" is finished "Thew"
Thank you very much ! Do you also have the Sam & Max - Hit the Road soundtrack?
My Country, Tis of Thee
I have this one on my version.
Looks like someone hit dislike by accident? :D
34:44 why did u cut it so short when u kick edna out of the room :(
How come a Zahorsky family wasn't in anymore of your films?

Do you have the meanwhile theme on here?
Hi Elliot it's me again I changed my logo just saying. Also have you ever played the remastered Day of the Tentacle?
I have! The remastered graphics were decent. I enjoyed listening to the commentary and looking at the concept art.
I was wondering is it worth getting, because I found it on steam and kinda wanted to buy it.
@@dottthemovie I think it's worth it! I'm sure Tim Schafer would appreciate the support ;)
Okay! I think I will get it! I really hate how Disney shut down Lucasarts and cancelled all the projects that they had been working on.

Yes. Finally. I did not like the soundtrack version.
I'm sorry I keep bugging you about this, but are you still friends with the Zahorskys?
Not really, unfortunately. But we're still on good terms as far as I'm aware!
Aw, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you can be good friends with them again someday.
Can I use this for my movie?
Of course!
Ok thanks so much, I did know that I could always get music from the actual game, but I would then have trouble removing sound affects that I wouldn't want. Thanks so much! Also I have uploaded my second video!
Is it okay if I can make music similar to this for my game?
I don't own this music in any way, so it's fine by me :)
Have you played Maniac Mansion?
Yes! I don't like it as much as Day of the Tentacle but it's still good
Yeah, I feel the same way.
Do you have the tentacle news theme on here?
23:48 Is that what you're looking for?
Yes Thank You!

The Macintosh versions always had WAY better sounding music.
1:21:36 @ Tentacle Disco - It is a bad cut! The following repeatitions sounds here not the same as it is in the original game, and that bad cut can be heard easily! What a disappointment!
