    There is one track missing, I think? "Cave" ("Wonder of the World" in the DE version). The very first one you used to hear, when you started a new game.

    This is a flawless recording and audio mastering , really loving the dynamic sound of it, spacious, powerful and punchy, while crisp, bright and smooth. What's more fascinating is that the power pool reserve and depth are maintained when all instruments kick in, sounds don't muffle or drain eachother out. Verry impressive, I'm beginning to understand my dad's obsession with vintage oldschool audio, analogic magnetophone reel to reel players, cassette decks and do on. Hard to find a sound with this attitude.

      It is a mathematical certainty that a UA-cam video will receive dislikes on it. Somebody might have pressed the wrong button. Somebody may dislike every video they see just for kicks. Somebody might really, really hate MIDI files and not want them recommended to them in the future.
      Bottom line, no point in overanalyzing the mind of someone who dislikes a harmless video. It’s just a mainstay of the website.

I remember installed it on Intel Pentium II PC with OS Windows 95, and showed how great this game to my parents, also how terrible I played. I mean, that time I still a newbie in RTS game. Thus I played the skirmish, showed to my parents, and in about 5 minutes or so, the enemy came and destroyed everything...
    well... but after I learned the strategy and able to win the scenarios, I fall in love with this game. Until now, I have AOE 1,2, and 3

      nahka I know the comment is over 1 year old but there is no flacs of the OST (unless you have original CD with soundtrack). That's the .midi files played by your soundcard and the quality of sounds depend only on soundcard. Roland devices are the better ones imo

    Unfortunately, most of these songs are not heard as they were originally emulated, the melodies were heard more natural. here certain instruments are lost and others are replaced. play your game cd on your home stereo and it will reproduce it more faithfully to the original sounds

    Something's wrong with Polyrythmic Pong (around 7:00). It sounds especially cacophonic in this version. For comparison: ua-cam.com/video/2WtIudUClcw/v-deo.html

    • @sfurta
      @sfurta  7 років тому +8

      Hi, here is my explanation. The composer used several synths and custom instruments. The Polyrhythmic Pong song tries to load instruments, maybe effects, that don't exist on Roland SC-88..most probably on any Roland GS module. It is up to the device how it will deal with it, if it tries to play such song. For instance SC-88 doesn't play anything, you have to modify the source file and set an existing instrument or switch it to GM mode. The SC-88 will reject all advanced sysex commands and extended GS instruments. I have a feeling the midi files were composer's working files, not optimized to any existing module or synth.

    You guys know these games shipped with an actual CD audio soundtrack AND midis? These are just the midis being played with a Roland. I still strongly believe the actual soundtrack is superior.
    I just read the description after I wrote this and the uploader use my exact phrasing: the original soundtrack is superior.
