Doom 2 MAP01 music on different ISA soundcards

[@riddleofsteelgamer6632]

This instanstly made me feel old haha, in a good way though, happy to have experienced Doom the nostalgic way, low res and no mouse aim. If i remember correctly we had an soundblaster 16 card which was leaps ahead of ye good old pc speaker that produced the epic prince of persia theme song music.

1:33 when your fire alarm goes off

[@Armc31416]

The first one sounds exactly like my setup at the time, the card was a Sound Blaster Pro.

The start of Map01 music reminds me of "The only thing they fear is you" from Doom eternal

[@586RETROPCs]

I will go for Adlib or AWE 32😎

[@Paco8478]

Me too

[@bradallen8909]

Adlib is ass. Literally the worst possible option other than no sound or PC speaker.

[@De-M-oN]

@@bradallen8909 I agree with number 2 in this video. Wth was that lol But the ESS Audio Soundblaster Pro I had in my PC back then. And I really liked it. And now I get the nostalgia here with the number 1 😀 The best way to listen to doom is obviously using a Roland SC-55 device though. Because with this device the music was made with and you have the most accurate and most detailled music with it

[@De-M-oN]

@@bradallen8909 Gravis and AWE32 did sound much worse too Also compare with the Roland SC-55. The both ESS audiodrive were the most accurate to it compared to all the other ones in the video

[@bradallen8909]

@@De-M-oN What? The ESS AudioDrive was the cheapest, shittest soundcard on the market. A poor quality ripoff of the Sound Blaster. I certainly do agree that the SC-55 sounded much nicer than the GUS or AWE32. But in terms of actual sound cards, rather than MIDI interfaces, the Gravis was in a league of it's own. An absolutely incredible piece of hardware.

Adlib YM3812. Nostalgic. 🙂

Now every time I hear "Running from Evil," I'm automatically thinking of the "MyHouse.wad" map... Thanks for that, I guess...

[@DamirUlovec]

😵‍💫

[@epj0211]

Every time I hear it I think of Maps of Chaos’ version of MAP01.

[@technoman9000]

Awesome

[@GeneralHewett13]

The title screen with the adlib emulation makes my ears bleed

[@De-M-oN]

If you wouldve added a 00:00 in your video description, the timestamps wouldve been chapters on the seekbar

[@josephsarra4320]

Video suggestion: Shadow Warrior Level 1 on different ISA Cards.

[@the1990kman]

Not possible , at least not with music. As far as I know Shadow Warrior uses RTS files for music which is basically like CD audio.

​@@ariabritton9669 oh, yeah absolutly. Just not sure when

As usual ensoniq opus is fire. Adlib emulation at it finest ☄️ 🗑

[@bradallen8909]

Adlib is ass. Only a brainless idiot would think it sounded good.

[@zeebpc]

whats the ID software approved one?

[@vidyabatter]

Possibly Adlib or Dreamblaster, but Bethesda (or more accurately modern iD) uses Gravis Ultrasound for the fallback midi soundtrack in the latest official Doom port

[@LateNightPerson]

Roland SC55

[@kathleendelcourt8136]

The soundtrack was composed on SC-55, so of all the sound cards featured in this video the closest is the Dreamblaster X2GS because uses the same GS sample bank as the SC-55.

[@bradallen8909]

Was the PicoGUS using the original GUS sample set?

[@the1990kman]

I think so, at least that's what I assume, because I've never owned a real GUS. If I'm wrong people can correct me.

[@De-M-oN]

Everytime I hear Gravis with Doom it sounds absolutely horrible lol. BFG Edition no exception xD

[@bradallen8909]

@@De-M-oN A GUS was by FAR the best sound card to play Doom with. Did the music sound better on the Roland devices? Maybe. But you didn't get sound effects.

[@De-M-oN]

@@bradallen8909 Every Video I listened to it on youtube and BFG Edition too, it did sound like trash and was totally off too. If you know a video or can record where it actually does what you say I would be interested to hear it 😅 _Did the music sound better on the Roland devices? Maybe_ Well the music was made with this device by Prince. So you cant get more accurate and detailled than that one ;-D You would use the Roland only for the music of course. The sound effects are still played by your soundcard.
