DAR's DOOM Marathon (Music Mod) [Updated: 07/03/22]

Original Post from July, 2016:

Check here for playlists of my completed Doom Marathons:

This project had started years ago as just a small and simple little recreation of the original Doom soundtracks. In the time since, I'm happy to say that the scope of things has become much broader to also include the many wonderful and beautiful soundtracks created by the talented composers in this very community!

I try my best to stay faithful to the originals, while at the same time, trying to impart a little something extra and special. You can find samplings of my work in the spoilered playlist up above. These music packs/WADs should also work fine under any sourceport that supports the .OGG Vorbis format. Anyhow, hope you all enjoy rippin' and tearin' to my renditions of these great tunes! ~DAR

Certainly a worthy first post! Into Sandy's City is up there with some of my fav Doom music! :D Welcome!!

This is way cool! It sounds good by itself already, but the video overlays really take it a step further to demonstrate a bit of the craft involved :)

One critique, the bell synth around 2:20 sounds a little odd to me.

Finally a good cover of Into Sandy's City. Looking forward to the completion of all of Doom's music. Think you might do TNT's unique tracks too?

Thanks! Also I think the subtle harpsichord is what makes the bell synth sound a little odd at 2:20

I definitely plan to do the tracks from TNT! I'll probably take on that 'marathon' after I finish up with the DOOM II Marathon.

Update: Hey all, I recently finished my music pack for DOOM II! I've added the download link to the first post.

Are the tracks in OGG format inside the WAD file?

Very nice. I'm a drummer, and a bit of a guitar player, and the Doom tracks are just so much fun to jam along to. Keep it up!

You should e-mail the /idgames/ maintainers (check bold red sticky) so you can let them know you're uploading a file larger than 50 MB, because this definitely deserves a permanent hosting location.

Also, do you have an archive containing the Doom 1 tracks somewhere?

Yep, mostly 128kbps bitrate .ogg files, and a few tracks with a 160kpbs bitrate.

You said it man, the soundtracks really are a blast to jam out to =)!

Thanks, I'll be sure to try contacting them soon! I've also added a link for the MP3 (320kbps) packs in the first post.

I always like compositions like this. Thanks for sharing!

Man oh man! Loving these covers!

Believe it or not, my favorite one is In the Dark. You successfully managed to transform what I believe to be one of the more boring original tracks into something totally new. The personal touches really add to the overall song in a really good way. The same goes for Adrian's Asleep.

Can't wait to see what you do for TNT!

If you want, I could help upload it if you fill out the text file for the TXT generator and copypaste the results and send via PM.

Update:

WAD file is now on /idgames/!

I think Dark Halls is your best cover. I love when it hits the 1:18 mark.

You should update the original post on top so folks don't need to go to my post for the /idgames/ link.

I've already updated it actually. I changed the link for the "DOOM 1 & 2 all-in-one" pack to point to the /idgames/ location.

Hello everyone, it's certainly been quite a while, but I've finally finished up my music pack for TNT: Evilution! I've updated the OP with links to the wad as well as the playlist for the TNT Marathon.

Hello all, its been a VERY long while since I last updated this thread! I come bearing a bump of good news though: I've now completed my music pack for Doom 64 for Doom II (D64D2). I've updated the OP and have included a link to download the music WAD/pack.

Also, for those curious, I'm planning to also complete the rest of my Plutonia MIDI Pack marathon as well. Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy rippin' and tearin' to my renditions of D64D2's wonderful soundtrack =).

All the covers are awesome, congrats for finally complete it! n.n

Hey man, I made an account for this forum just to be able to send you a message.  This work you've done is really amazing.  You -- and your collaborators -- have given us DOOM fans a real gift w/ these tracks, thank you.  I wish you all the best in your professional and private life.  I was blown away when I rechecked this page and found you had just pushed another disk, and it might be your best work yet (TNT was really awesome).
