Tormentor667 Posted December 27, 2004 Well, these days I play around with oldgame midis and several MIDI 2 WAVE programs, to make them sound much better on my f*cking soundcard (AC*97, die!) and well, the only thing left now are several good soundfont files, I can play around with. So, I heard about this FLUID soundfont and also another very well known soundfont for doom midis which's name I unfortunately I forgot. Do you have other soundfonts in mind? Where can I get those and the mentioned ones? Please links and stuffage would be great :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Ralphis Posted December 28, 2004 Silverspring is the doom one. I think it sucks 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted December 28, 2004 Fluid is good, but this doesn't really belong in Classic Doom General. 0 Share this post Link to post
SyntherAugustus Posted December 28, 2004 ac97? install your soundcard, and disable your motherboard sound in the bios. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bloodshedder Posted December 28, 2004 eh...maybe he doesn't HAVE an add-in sound card? Besides, you'd need at least a Sound Blaster Live! to use an immense soundfont such as Fluid. 0 Share this post Link to post

AndrewB Posted December 28, 2004 Soundfonts suck. Creative's MIDI system is fubar. Go down the road of Soundfonts if you want to completely waste your time and possibly money. 0 Share this post Link to post
Lüt Posted December 28, 2004 Well that's certainly a turnaround from not so long ago. What brought that on? 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted December 28, 2004 It's a flawed system with arbitrary limitations. Its hardware environmental "effects" can be done better and faster with software programs with minimal CPU consumption. Unfortunately, most software utilities that have these abilities are very specific in their implementation and not all-purpose. 0 Share this post Link to post

Motherboard sound isn't called "add-in", it's "on-board". Add-in applies to cards that are separate and plug into an expansion slot.Guess there may be a few cards with AC97.. I know of no add-in sound cards that use AC97. Even motherboard makers are migrating from AC97 to the latest Realtek chip, or in the case of nForce motherboards, using its APU. 0 Share this post Link to post
