7 Doom Tribute Songs

To hell with it. I'm going to make my own version of the entire Doom 2 soundtrack. Don't you think it would go well with a remake of the Doom2.wad? (Example: http://forums.newdoom.com/showthread.php?t=33755_

Thanks for listening

your E1M7 and MAP01 covers are great, they add some extra atmosphere to the songs, but dont stray too far from the original. i like them. if you post the mp3s somewhere ill get them.

E1M5 dosent have much thats isnt already in other covers to be honest.

also you posted E1M5 as E1M7. i dont knwo if thats a typo or a mistake.

Do you have downoad links to these songs somewhere? Some people may want to use them in their personal music PWADs.

I'll upload them when the whole project is completed. So far I've been able to make one song a week, that's a pretty ratio. Right now I don't know if I want to do just my favourite ones or the entire soundtrack. If people are going to use them for their own WADs, I may do my version of the entire soundtrack for consistency.

Thanks for the positive feedback.

Why were the original uploads of E1M7 and E1M5 removed before you reuploaded/fixed them? It showed "video unavailable" when I checked my YT favorites.

I don't know. I uploaded them again last night because I added more stuff. Might not be the last time I do that either.

listened to e1m7 and sounds pretty great (and the visuals were fitting- a rare occurance when listening to music on youtube). Fruity loops or something?

Might as well ask here.. what general music scale & chord structure tends to be used in music that sounds 'doomy' in general? The major scale tends to sound 'happy' (not doomy).. or I just suck at making tense/scary/gloomy/etc music. A-minor is the same as c-major sorta, and I guess sounds more doomy..

I read that the 1,4 & 5 chords are the most often used or something.. does doomy music usually use that type of formula? How many beats does a chord typically last.. and do you just make any random pattern out of 1/4/5's.. like maybe 1,4,5,4,1,5,4,4,repeat (or something)? Is it typically only 1/4/5 or often other chords too?

If its not obvious, by 1/4/5 I mean:
for example in A minor (all white keys starting on A):
1 = a/c/e chord
4 = d/f/a chord
5 = e/g/b chord

These are getting alot better now, you're putting a fuller sound into them, emphasising different areas than the originals and making the tracks your own.

Totally hanging for you to do E1M3 and E1M8 hey :)

I think the key changes were Bobby Prince's way of making the songs as long as possible. You can take the same measure and play it in blues 12 bar, and then the second time around have different instruments playing the same thing. It is a dirty little trick but we don't seem to mind.

I'm the wrong guy to be asking about music theory, but you haven't heard doomy music until you've heard the genre of music that's actually called "doom metal". I know these guys from Myspace, and it will tear your fucking head off: http://www.myspace.com/bongripper

I'm sticking to Doom 2 right now, but I'll do E1M8 when I'm done. God I love that tune.
