@99stem No amount off smart assery on my part will ever be able to lampoon how horrendously off topic that reply was. So, ladies and gentleman I present to you the most out of butt sex middle of nowhere reply I've read this year! I quote: "In the description is says he did not record these just so you know. They came from other people." Bravo Jack!
Thank you, thank you, I was tired and didn't read properly and this was an award winning experience. I also would like to thank my mother for raising me, my teacher for teaching me to read, my friends and family for using the internet and God for making this opportunity possible. Ladies and gentlemen, it has been an honour providing you with this excellent dumb comment, now I'll just disappear into the shadows...
listened to them all to see if you were right. I thought the TopWave-32 Korg is the best guitar shred, the Yamaha has best drums and reverb. When god listens to doom music, he mixes the TW32's guitar with the Yam WF's drums and reverb.
27:13 oh man! hadn't practiced Drums in awhile! *butters up hands and puts tambourines on my wrists* you guys ready?! *flails arms while kicking drumset while the band plays, albeit very disturbed*
30:23 I think we could have done with one more rehearsal. This version reminds me of those cheap cover records from the 1950s to the 1990s where an unnamed group would cover popular songs of the time. This would be the result of musicians who just did not have the talent of the original artists.
It's neat how the hardware makes the difference of the digital notes being played almost as if they were a CD record with actual instruments, or just sounding like a choir of drumming ostriches.
Holy shit, I thought I would never hear this song the way I remembered it. Very first on the list is the sound card I had back then. Good times playing through the game.
It's the same for us Sound Blaster peasants as well - the AWE cards were high end, this is what the rest of us had. I vaguely recall the other brands, but back in the day Creative was in the spotlight (I'm not from the US/EU), so most of us bought the "regular" SB card.
20:52 Now that brings me right back, it's like I'm sitting in front of a packer bell PC with an IBM model M keyboard all over again just with better speakers this time around.
27:05 "Ok, so, how much 'ting' shou-" "BANG THAT TRIANGLE LIKE THERE'S NO TOMORROW." 30:24 It sounds like half the wave table is missing. 27:14 When you play the Doom theme but the drumming is from the "clehe running across the beach" music. 20:52 Either A: Aladdin on the Genesis has invaded your soundcard. Or B: It's a floppy drive cover.
As a kid at the time, with an Adlib compatible I think, I had no idea how many different sound cards there were and frankly how Doom's music was experienced so differently. I've just created a retro PC with a Soundblaster Live card, and I just heard the midi music for the first time in my life with some good quality speakers. Wow, I was missing out.
My personal favorite is the Sound Blaster AWE32 E-Mu. That chorus/delay effect on the guitar is amazing and so is the "thump" of the bass drum. The cymbals are great, too. Just love the overall clarity.
16:04 - Dream GSWave (4 MB) is the best one. As I was rocking my head to this on my headphones, I kept thinking if only SEGA had managed to get that type of audio in to their 32X game back in the day. 32X would have been a success.
i remember the first soundcard we had in our family PC, a Creative Sound Blaster AWE32 E-Mu (8 MB)...god it makes me feel old lol. our PC actually came bundled with DooM 1 as a promo for the store we bought it from, that particular store having just gotten a new range of the new Pentium 1 compatible PC's in.
It sounds pretty normal, just that the pitch bend effect is severely messed up. Also I like this comment from EpicPigmasks. It's funny because the track was actually inspired from a Dave Brubeck Jazz composition called Blue Rondo a la Turk. Thought it was an original air from the Doom developers huh? Nope. My proof? The similarities should be enough.
Lmao XD XD I went to 40:00 to hear this “amazing sound card” and the first thing I hear is a quite and depressed trumpet. That is amazing XD I was expecting an actual good card but this just tops it
Thanks for this awesome video, and all the work you put into it! I must say E1M3/Dark Halls has always sounded vastly different on different cards as well, a video comparison on that one would be awesome.
This is great. It's weird, I thought the Dream Roland sounded like what I remember, but I'm pretty sure I had a SoundBlaster card of some sort (of course, it has been over 20 years since I played on a 486 or Pentium now).
Cypher King Actually they ripped it from the chorus of "No Remorse" by Metallica and played it at Megadeth speed, but considering Dave practically wrote Metallica's first two albums, you aren't wrong.
I didn't realize how massively different soundcards affected audio back in the day. Fell on this as I am trying to pick a soundcard for a vintage K6 I am slowly building.
DB60XG sounds awesome! I played Doom on PC speaker for the longest time, and I never apologised to my Mum for those sounds. I probably should make sure she knows I'm sorry. Eventually I got a Sound Blaster 16, which was probably the best upgrade I've gotten for any PC in my life now that I think about it. The second best was a 64GB SSD for my boot drive back on Windows 7 and I guess the third best was a 3D accelerator (though not the shitty Power VR I had, which was my first one).
48:04 - I got some Turtle Beach cards around the time the older ISA cards were mostly being clearanced... Kinda wish I'd held on to them - though I haven't owned an ISA system in years. But I think they were pretty good MIDI gaming cards.
22:28 - That classic GUS is nowhere near the top of the list quality-wise but that was my card. And can you believe they sold this without even the full 1MB of patch RAM? This is what you'd get *after* upgrading it... Card was a pain due to compatibility issues but I'm still glad I went for it rather than a more typical PCM+OPL card.
It was composed on the SC-55, but since it's a General MIDI song, it's actually meant to sound like anything and everything. It's called "General MIDI" for a reason.
Ensoniq AudioPCI (2 MB) --> This is what I remember Doom sounding like. The same card played wolf3d with a different tone. I wish someone would make a similar video like this for wolfenstein.
The SC55 sounds the most "authentic", but honestly, the OPL3, OPL4 and ESS1869 produce an appropriately vintage feel, too. The Soundscape Elite's FM synth is downright odd. I can't decide if I like it or not - it changes the entire feel of the piece.
First of all, I gotta say I am surprised at some of the synths listed there. I hadn't heard about many of them until now. Classic MIDI music awesomeness. I've listened to this video yesterday, from what I remember from the top of my head and re-listening to it while I write.... (I am skimming through for the most part now, yesterday I left the sound in the background while I was writing other things) Ensoniq 4 and 8 sound fine, and surprisingly enough they just sound exactly the same! Ensoniq 2 MB sounds bad to me. Both AWE32 and AWE32 8MB don't sound that good to me --love the AWE32 ROM drums kick. In fact I am surprised at the poor sound coming from the 8MB sound bank. Both Yamaha Waveforce are sheer love! So awesome. The kick sounds spectacular, so do the guitars. Very MIDI like, yet kind of professional. Wish I hadthe money to buy of those back in the day. Dream sounds also very original, the high notes of the guitar are to my liking. I mean the ones from Dream 4 MB CW. It is far from the quality of the Dream 10MB though. The Dream GSWave 4 MB has a very nice spatial sound none of the others have, although I have a feeling the bass has too much presence, while the guitars sound left and right. I wonder how the Edge3D NV1 1 MB was actually a professional product because it sounds kinda so so to me. Well, it's not that bad once you warm up to it, but still. The Edge3D NV1 6 MB doesn't sound much better me taking into account its size. It sounds good to me just at the end of the song though. I think that that Gravis UltraSound 1 MB sound is also the same in Doom, Xbox 360 version!!! :) Gotta investigate that since I have the game. The engineers that worked on that soundcard are my heroes. How good it sounds using that little amount of memory. Very beautiful tone overall from those Gravis soundcards --save for the UTOPFS, it feels as if its sounding from a pipe --perhaps who recorded it did that on purpose and the soundcard is not to blame, taking into account how nice Gravis soundcards soun. LOVE the sound of the Gravis Ultrasound PnP Pro Patches 1.50!!! :D It's amongst my favourites in the entire video (being my favourite the original SC-55 sound), which says a lot.(the drums seem to have a bit of delay effect, but they sound cool anyways..) The Gravis Ultrason ROM sounds finer to me than the AWE32 ROM, save from the drums. Orchid SoundWave 32 512 KB ROM sounds horrible to me, since the drums don't even exist, it seems. What's not to love about the original? The Roland Sound Canvas SC-55mkII sounds sooooo beautiful. The Sound Canvas SCD-15 doesn't sound particularly enticing to me, especially coming from Roland. Pass. Ensoniq SoundScape 2 MB has good drums and the Chorus like effect adds a lot of the originality to the sound. Not that I'd like to play Doom with that sound in the background. Ensoniq SoundScape Elite 2 MB could be better. Ensoniq SoundScape Opus 1 MB sounds like tin plate to me. Not the worse Ensoniq anyways, it's kinda bearable. Ensoniq SoundScape VIVO 90 1 MB sounds to me like a loop of the SoundScape Opus 1MB. X Technology TopWave-32 Korg 4 MB = spectacular, on my top 3 from the songs you listed. Turtle Beach RIO Rev 2 4 MB, not bad. Creative WaveBlaster Rev 1 -- I expected a better sound from a Creative card, especially taking into account that it was an external card which you could connect to your AWE32 and the like. Wave XTable, okay chorused sound. Kinda average but I've seen worse. Thanks for sharing Ultimate, as usual.
Ah, by the way, I just published Musyng yesterday, which is a very extensive overhaul of Evanessence, where I fixed everything I could fix in a year and 3 months ever since Evanessence was published in March 2013. All in all, hell, time flies like an arrow. It has been three years since I started with this soundfont. I removed some of the dud sounds, added better snares to the Standard Drum Kit (which was very nice save for the snares, but I had a personal deadline then and never make it in time for release of Evanessence) It wasn't my initial intention to publish Musyng, and I just fixed things at home, taking one step at a time, sometimes without realising. The instrument I am the most proud of is the Distortion Guitar (I just don't like have so many layers for an instrument anymore and my idea was to remove as many layers as possible). So I removed the layers I had in the original Evanessence 2 version, borrowed a layer from what I considered some of the best guitar sounds I ever seen in a Distortion Guitar soundonft and modded them. The result was a guitar I LOVE to death, with a single layer for the most part, a layer for the low notes, and a very subtle one to enhance the distortion effect. The Warm Strings is also another one of my favourite melodic presets. So is the Electric Piano, based on the XP50 --similar to the one in Arachno Soundfont, but also quite different, using other samples. It has many balance fixes, especially in the last presets, which were kinda abandoned before --it takes a lot of time to balance each sound, especially when the samples aren't always yours and come from many different sources, as you mentioned days ago in a comment regarding soundfonts I wrote a README here (I'd recommend you to skim through it, as I wrote a thesis, but anyways), all the info is here:. www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=351893 If you ever use Musyng for one of your Doom E1M1 videos or similar, fell free to do that, and in fact I'd be honoured!! Musyng sounds a lot better now than Evanessence sounded before in Doom, (though it was never one of my focus, I just wanted to fix the issues Evanessence had, add new and only samples, remove duds, etc etc etc). Especially with the new guitars (I also removed as many layers from the Overdriven Guitar and just kept the sounds I liked the best) and the many tweaks and fixes it went through in this last year and 3 months. I can only compare it to Evanessence, since the soundfont was originally called Musica 7 when it was just a beta. Then I published it as Musical Box as some kind of advanced Beta, and finally Evanessence in March 2013. But I lost the original Musica 7 and Musical Box forever, I think (gotta check in an old exernal HD I have, but I don't think I copied those there). Anyways, Musyng is just much better, I think. 3 years of evolution, after some mistakes and trial and error, I think it went from being a decent soundfont (Evanessence) to actually good. :) Ah, this is the download link: 1drv.ms/1hNqVWl
+xose vi I have a SoundBlaster Live (5.1) (PCI) with the plastic contacts. Could you please give a download link to the sound font? The computer that has it is an old Pentium 4 Gateway Performance 1400 Workstation from 1999, I play doom on it via ZDOOM and my old school SideWinder game pad (I originally had one, probably got sold at a garage sale years ago, but I eventually found one at a Goodwill for 5 dollars, so nostalgic to me to actually get to use one, as my old HP Pavilion from the same year had a faulty modem/ game port card and thus never worked).
ComputerJunkie2013 you can download it here --the name is different nowadays, it's called Musyng Kite drive.google.com/file/d/0B6caGN_QlJVEUzVtX0tKOWVoWXc/edit
A lot of people forget that back then we didn't have AWE32 and stuff, and think that when they listen to a midi on their computer they're hearing what it was really like... No no no no, it was much worse.. In fact I was trying to figure out a way to play midis that emulated the older hardware a year or two ago, and couldn't find a program that let you load up different instrument tables or anything.
Man! This is amazing! Some of these sound brilliant, some sound worse than my brother singing! Which sound card does modern windows through DOSbox emulate?
the 8MB ECW waveset...sounds AWESOME ...it plays good for soundblaster audio128...and for 512 and live only on 98 .. but it died on XP os due to missing reverb effects and chorus ...why CREATIVE remove it on their cards except AUDIO128 drivers for XP ??? but it was crap cause it keep crashing on tunes
Installing all these damn sound cards so I could watch this video was a pain in the ass.
In the description is says he did not record these just so you know. They came from other people.

CodeWeaver Wow you're right, not exactly good listening at hifh volumes.
Good ear, It sounds almost identical to that popular printer cover of E1M1..!
I actually like it TBH.
When your MIDI software consists of fax machines, dial-up modems, and a manual drummer
God damn it really does lol

The tempo is off, not sure how it got approved because the sound quality ain't bad.
Some swear words omitted in the music? Should have added BLEEPS from the PC speaker to fill the stuttered gaps.
Sounds like half the wave table is missing

Also, 40:00 is completely hilarious. It sounds like a piece of _Doom_-ified elevator music. 😆
It sound like someone’s playing a flute🤣🤣
33:35 This is the one I'm most familiar with, being the DOSBox default. Gotta say, sounds like the Floppatron or a dot matrix printer.

Right, because it's controlling a fm synthesis chip.

Nope, Yamaha is better
This is the objectively correct version. This is exactly how it sounded as Bobby Prince was composing it.
That is definitely the most accurate depiction of the song
yes
I think the one that stands out the most is 20:52 - ESS ES1869 AudioDrive. It has a weird sort of synthesizer sound.
It's the same for us Sound Blaster peasants as well - the AWE cards were high end, this is what the rest of us had. I vaguely recall the other brands, but back in the day Creative was in the spotlight (I'm not from the US/EU), so most of us bought the "regular" SB card.
This is the one retroarch uses for their doom emulator.
The best versions are at 20:52 / 33:35 and 35:11
these are the oldest onest....
@cwood99 it is becuase its a direct recording.

33:55 was the soundcard I first played Doom on. I've still got this sense of nostalgia attached to it despite several other versions being superior.
Same dude, had a Soundblaster card for the longest time.

I don’t know why but I can fall asleep to 90’s sound cards playing doom E1M1

DB60XG sounds awesome!
I played Doom on PC speaker for the longest time, and I never apologised to my Mum for those sounds. I probably should make sure she knows I'm sorry.
Eventually I got a Sound Blaster 16, which was probably the best upgrade I've gotten for any PC in my life now that I think about it. The second best was a 64GB SSD for my boot drive back on Windows 7 and I guess the third best was a 3D accelerator (though not the shitty Power VR I had, which was my first one).
48:04 - I got some Turtle Beach cards around the time the older ISA cards were mostly being clearanced... Kinda wish I'd held on to them - though I haven't owned an ISA system in years. But I think they were pretty good MIDI gaming cards.
Sounds like the song was recorded underwater🤣🤣
wow 9:39 sounds someewhat better than original
27:13 It seems the echo on the drums is way too loud. I think it's supposed to sound like in this upload: /watch?v=figScJtkQk8&t=4m59s
Yay a link that doesn’t work
@@BruhMoment93_ Except it does if you're not an idiot
22:28 Anyone recognize it´s sound card from Doom 3 BFG Edition one?
ye yea
It sounds wrong. I'm late I GET IT!! It's not meant to be that fast. So is 48:04.
Best Sounding
Roland Sound Canvas SC-55mkII
Well to be fair that's what it was intended to be played on. And damnit, I was so happy this was how I experienced it back in the day.
22:28 - That classic GUS is nowhere near the top of the list quality-wise but that was my card. And can you believe they sold this without even the full 1MB of patch RAM? This is what you'd get *after* upgrading it... Card was a pain due to compatibility issues but I'm still glad I went for it rather than a more typical PCM+OPL card.
20:52 was the first one i ever played on
12:51 it's sounds near identical to the original
and so does 16:04
I don't think there's "an" original. How it sounded on your computer was highly dependent on what sound card you had.
the original was the one it was developed on*
35:11
It was composed on the SC-55, but since it's a General MIDI song, it's actually meant to sound like anything and everything.
It's called "General MIDI" for a reason.
Thank you so much for this. I’d love to hear Into Sandy’s City on the ESS 1869’s FM synthesis.
40:00 *tapes a frying pan to arm and starts hitting a toilet with it*
40:00 It's like if the 32X version was on the SNES!
40:00 Sound cards had trashcan drums before St. Anger existed, I'm surprised.
20:52
Aww ye! Thats mine good ol' baby.
Creative Sound Blaster Pro 2.0/ESS ES1869 AudioDrive Is the best. Love that tinny heavy metal sound. No uncanny valley MIDI effects.
22:28 The music used on the bfg edition
Ensoniq AudioPCI (2 MB) --> This is what I remember Doom sounding like. The same card played wolf3d with a different tone. I wish someone would make a similar video like this for wolfenstein.
The SC55 sounds the most "authentic", but honestly, the OPL3, OPL4 and ESS1869 produce an appropriately vintage feel, too. The Soundscape Elite's FM synth is downright odd. I can't decide if I like it or not - it changes the entire feel of the piece.
9:39 sounds like my yamaha piano
And back in the day I was surprised why all my friends wanted to play DOOM at my house. I had that second Yamaha card :D
There is something so satisfying about this
Cool beans. So many soundcards and almost each sounds different.
First of all, I gotta say I am surprised at some of the synths listed there. I hadn't heard about many of them until now. Classic MIDI music awesomeness.
I've listened to this video yesterday, from what I remember from the top of my head and re-listening to it while I write.... (I am skimming through for the most part now, yesterday I left the sound in the background while I was writing other things)
Ensoniq 4 and 8 sound fine, and surprisingly enough they just sound exactly the same! Ensoniq 2 MB sounds bad to me.
Both AWE32 and AWE32 8MB don't sound that good to me --love the AWE32 ROM drums kick. In fact I am surprised at the poor sound coming from the 8MB sound bank.
Both Yamaha Waveforce are sheer love! So awesome. The kick sounds spectacular, so do the guitars. Very MIDI like, yet kind of professional. Wish I hadthe money to buy of those back in the day.
Dream sounds also very original, the high notes of the guitar are to my liking. I mean the ones from Dream 4 MB CW. It is far from the quality of the Dream 10MB though.
The Dream GSWave 4 MB has a very nice spatial sound none of the others have, although I have a feeling the bass has too much presence, while the guitars sound left and right.
I wonder how the Edge3D NV1 1 MB was actually a professional product because it sounds kinda so so to me. Well, it's not that bad once you warm up to it, but still.
The Edge3D NV1 6 MB doesn't sound much better me taking into account its size. It sounds good to me just at the end of the song though.
I think that that Gravis UltraSound 1 MB sound is also the same in Doom, Xbox 360 version!!! :) Gotta investigate that since I have the game.
The engineers that worked on that soundcard are my heroes. How good it sounds using that little amount of memory.
Very beautiful tone overall from those Gravis soundcards --save for the UTOPFS, it feels as if its sounding from a pipe --perhaps who recorded it did that on purpose and the soundcard is not to blame, taking into account how nice Gravis soundcards soun.
LOVE the sound of the Gravis Ultrasound PnP Pro Patches 1.50!!! :D It's amongst my favourites in the entire video (being my favourite the original SC-55 sound), which says a lot.(the drums seem to have a bit of delay effect, but they sound cool anyways..)
The Gravis Ultrason ROM sounds finer to me than the AWE32 ROM, save from the drums.
Orchid SoundWave 32 512 KB ROM sounds horrible to me, since the drums don't even exist, it seems.
What's not to love about the original? The Roland Sound Canvas SC-55mkII sounds sooooo beautiful.
The Sound Canvas SCD-15 doesn't sound particularly enticing to me, especially coming from Roland. Pass.
Ensoniq SoundScape 2 MB has good drums and the Chorus like effect adds a lot of the originality to the sound. Not that I'd like to play Doom with that sound in the background.
Ensoniq SoundScape Elite 2 MB could be better.
Ensoniq SoundScape Opus 1 MB sounds like tin plate to me. Not the worse Ensoniq anyways, it's kinda bearable.
Ensoniq SoundScape VIVO 90 1 MB sounds to me like a loop of the SoundScape Opus 1MB.
X Technology TopWave-32 Korg 4 MB = spectacular, on my top 3 from the songs you listed.
Turtle Beach RIO Rev 2 4 MB, not bad.
Creative WaveBlaster Rev 1 -- I expected a better sound from a Creative card, especially taking into account that it was an external card which you could connect to your AWE32 and the like.
Wave XTable, okay chorused sound. Kinda average but I've seen worse.
Thanks for sharing Ultimate, as usual.
Ah, by the way, I just published Musyng yesterday, which is a very extensive overhaul of Evanessence, where I fixed everything I could fix in a year and 3 months ever since Evanessence was published in March 2013.
All in all, hell, time flies like an arrow. It has been three years since I started with this soundfont.
I removed some of the dud sounds, added better snares to the Standard Drum Kit (which was very nice save for the snares, but I had a personal deadline then and never make it in time for release of Evanessence)
It wasn't my initial intention to publish Musyng, and I just fixed things at home, taking one step at a time, sometimes without realising.
The instrument I am the most proud of is the Distortion Guitar (I just don't like have so many layers for an instrument anymore and my idea was to remove as many layers as possible).
So I removed the layers I had in the original Evanessence 2 version, borrowed a layer from what I considered some of the best guitar sounds I ever seen in a Distortion Guitar soundonft and modded them.
The result was a guitar I LOVE to death, with a single layer for the most part, a layer for the low notes, and a very subtle one to enhance the distortion effect.
The Warm Strings is also another one of my favourite melodic presets.
So is the Electric Piano, based on the XP50 --similar to the one in Arachno Soundfont, but also quite different, using other samples.
It has many balance fixes, especially in the last presets, which were kinda abandoned before --it takes a lot of time to balance each sound, especially when the samples aren't always yours and come from many different sources, as you mentioned days ago in a comment regarding soundfonts
I wrote a README here (I'd recommend you to skim through it, as I wrote a thesis, but anyways), all the info is here:.
www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=351893
If you ever use Musyng for one of your Doom E1M1 videos or similar, fell free to do that, and in fact I'd be honoured!!
Musyng sounds a lot better now than Evanessence sounded before in Doom, (though it was never one of my focus, I just wanted to fix the issues Evanessence had, add new and only samples, remove duds, etc etc etc).
Especially with the new guitars (I also removed as many layers from the Overdriven Guitar and just kept the sounds I liked the best) and the many tweaks and fixes it went through in this last year and 3 months.
I can only compare it to Evanessence, since the soundfont was originally called Musica 7 when it was just a beta.
Then I published it as Musical Box as some kind of advanced Beta, and finally Evanessence in March 2013.
But I lost the original Musica 7 and Musical Box forever, I think (gotta check in an old exernal HD I have, but I don't think I copied those there).
Anyways, Musyng is just much better, I think. 3 years of evolution, after some mistakes and trial and error, I think it went from being a decent soundfont (Evanessence) to actually good. :)
Ah, this is the download link:
1drv.ms/1hNqVWl
+xose vi I have a SoundBlaster Live (5.1) (PCI) with the plastic contacts. Could you please give a download link to the sound font? The computer that has it is an old Pentium 4 Gateway Performance 1400 Workstation from 1999, I play doom on it via ZDOOM and my old school SideWinder game pad (I originally had one, probably got sold at a garage sale years ago, but I eventually found one at a Goodwill for 5 dollars, so nostalgic to me to actually get to use one, as my old HP Pavilion from the same year had a faulty modem/ game port card and thus never worked).
ComputerJunkie2013 you can download it here --the name is different nowadays, it's called Musyng Kite

+xose vi thanks!
32:20 Ow mah ears
John Bigless SOUND TO MY EARS
A lot of people forget that back then we didn't have AWE32 and stuff, and think that when they listen to a midi on their computer they're hearing what it was really like... No no no no, it was much worse.. In fact I was trying to figure out a way to play midis that emulated the older hardware a year or two ago, and couldn't find a program that let you load up different instrument tables or anything.
46:29 is my favorite
I'm 90% certain the version I played as a kid used the Creative Sound Blaster AWE32 E-Mu chip, it sounds exactly how I remember it
I watch this video like 30 times a year now
yep that how the creative sound blaster awe32 and 64 sounded at 4:05
At dog's gate
Man! This is amazing! Some of these sound brilliant, some sound worse than my brother singing! Which sound card does modern windows through DOSbox emulate?
The first one played me like a damn fiddle.
Imagine a mashup of every single one of these versions.😏
oh my god my ears are bleeding just from the thought
hell nah
My ears will get ripped and torn
Because each guitar is panned slightly away from each other, it makes me tilt my head for some reason lol
the first one sounds like a mix between a phone ringing, a type righter and a 3d printer
the 8MB ECW waveset...sounds AWESOME ...it plays good for soundblaster audio128...and for 512 and live only on 98 .. but it died on XP os due to missing reverb effects and chorus ...why CREATIVE remove it on their cards except AUDIO128 drivers for XP ??? but it was crap cause it keep crashing on tunes
40:00 Mother of God It’s all toilet sounds
40:00 E1M1 - Doot Skeleton Cover
The Ensoniq SoundScape sounds like that weird audio distortion edit, the one they use in memes
