Sound Blaster?

I have it set on opl3 soundblaster but it doesn't sound like that one, I been trying since may to get it to sound the same.

Nvm... I downloaded DMXOPL.wad (ver. 1.11) and now it sounds exactly the one romero is playing with in doom.

 

It sounds very nice.

 

 

Edit: Nvm... it isnt the same as the one in that video.

 

I wan't to have my doom music set like that, its so much more authentic.

I know this definitely isn't it, but it sounds somewhat like MT-32 in default mode:

 

It also sounds similar to Soundblaster AWE64 FM:

EDIT: also see this

It sounds like Adlib/Sound Blaster.  The cymbals have that distinctive FM synth sound to them.  As such, how the instruments sound depends on how the game programs them, not the sound card--DOS games with Adlib music come with their own "instruments" stored as parameters that get sent to an FM card.  So no sound card will automatically sound like that video; you just have to use whatever FM instruments/GENMIDI lump they were using in the game at the time.  The FM instruments from Heretic, particularly the drums, sound similar to the ones in that video.

Here is a sample recorded in DOSBox.

That early doom version uses a different GENMIDI lump that was changed in the final version, now Heretic has that GENMIDI lump from the early version, so all you have to do is make a wad file, copy the GENMIDI lump from heretic, paste it to your wad, then start up doom and set midi device to opl3

Thats alot to do, i don't know anything about making a wad.  Guess I'll start now and learn something new.

If anyone likes, I recently packed up a WAD file containing the GENMIDI lump from The WIDE AREA version of Heretic.

I'll try that now... one last thing before I stop playing this game thats making me dizzy.  I have not adapted at all since april, but I accomplished so much for the game just for the feel of playing all the best shit in the 90's. 

 

 

EDIT: I tried it just now on opl emulation... it sounds just like it!  What a freaking download!  (E1M1 & E1M8 sound awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

 

I gave you a like, this file should be put on the doomworld downloads Lol

 

You made the day I quit all FPS's more manageable.. :)
