Master Levels for Doom II - 25th Anniversary MIDI Pack (OST)

[@brimphemus]

"Are We Really Doing This?" (Track 1) "Guess We Are Then" (Track 2)

[@mrlucas9072]

I love this ost, even the quirkier tracks. It's like a cross between Hell Revealed 2's ost and MOCK 2's ost and that somehow ends up being perfectly fitting for the Master Levels.

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

Glad you liked it!

[@kuskus_th13]

I like how there are 2 Mock 2 remixes in this pack

[@MtPain27]

The only reason to play The Master Levels in 2021. I love Don't Fall Lmao, and Erecting the Black Tower especially.

I like "Invisible Ledge is DUMB" alot

[@Vorse_Raider]

I'm still in awe you did trap music in MIDI format. That's amazing.

[@j4son_]

I am so thankful that I decided to play these levels, I never would have discover this really good soundtrack, fits so well these levels Enjoyed so much the melodies and time signatures changes. I would have left the levels right away if it wasnt by this. thanks for making them

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

I don't blame you! A self aware MIDI pack is just what the Master Levels needed!

[@TrevorTrilby]

Anyone who's running Zdoom based ports, you can use Blzut3's Master Levels patch to combine the levels into a single wad. Then you can load the midi with the wad and it should work just fine.

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

I think I tried that but the level order is wrong and it picks the wrong MIDIs for the levels.

[@TrevorTrilby]

@@PeterLawrenceYT Huh. It came out fine for me.

[@TrevorTrilby]

@@PeterLawrenceYT I redownloaded the patcher to look into it a bit more, and the PSN, Xbox, and Xaser orders all play the correct tracks just fine. As long as "Music" is set to "Doom 2 Classic (Doom 2 Order)" there shouldn't be any problems.

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

@@TrevorTrilby ah, excellent. That's good to hear.

[@moosefart045]

There's a such thing as wadsmoosh, basically smooshes all your games together but it requires ultimate doom, doom 2, sigil, master levels, nerve and final doom. But you need to pay for the master levels cause it requires the same exact maps and text files.

[@liamaldrich2476]

That hip-hop intermission track was weirding me out for a sec lmao I intend to use this as study music later, so I'll probably edit this comment with my musings on various tracks throughout the next week I really liked "Inescapable Pit Theme," it sounds like you were intentionally using all the traditionally "goofy" instruments in the soundfont lol

[@liamaldrich2476]

The Tit is the kind of stupid goofy bullshit that the band teacher will put in as one of the songs in the year just to keep the percussion kids happy. Everyone else in the band loathes playing it. This might be a really specific archetype but I'll be damned if Mrs. Sherman didnt pull that shit every single year

[@gregoryheidt2746]

Key: "DOODOODOODOO", lmfao Seriously, this is amazing stuff, especially Erecting the Black Tower and Grinding Teeth. It's a travesty that Grinding Teeth is only around 90 seconds long, I feel like so much could be done with that leitmotif. It has this feeling of nostalgic melancholy while being really aggressive. Can't get enough of it. Although I will listen to it in KZbin instead of actually playing TEETH.WAD if it's all the same to you, heh

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

Yeah I can totally get behind not wanting to play teeth.wad.

[@tostie3110]

Grinding teeth is totally like a classic MIDI track, it's short and has limitations, but still an absolute banger!

[@jorts_master69]

This soundtrack enhances the best parts of the Master Levels while motivating you to continue on through the worst of them. This made levels like Subspace and Mephisto's Maosoleum just bearable enough for me to make it through. Good stuff.

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

Thanks! Glad this pack helped you get though.

[@AlexGeorge]

"Guess We Are Then" is an amazing track, definitely my favorite so far. Thank you for this great soundtrack!

Crazy to think a music pack would come out for these, and even crazier that it would be so good!

[@cold_soup_]

Invisible Ledge is DUMB really sticks out to me. it's always impressive whenever a midi can perfectly convey emotion, and that one in particular to me sounds like pure, visceral, unfiltered rage in musical form. i find myself thinking about it at random from time to time

[@Gemidori]

I always hated that hooting sound and the fact it's used so much here, let alone this creatively, is a beautiful fit. This wad deserves it. c:

So… you know Wadsmoosh? The program to compile all the id-made IWADS into 1? There’s an add on for that called "Works of the Masters", which basically allows you to play the maps by episode based on the mapper, complete with the storyline maps being on plot order. I incorporated this OST into the add on for the guy who made it.

Erecting The Black Tower 🖤

My vote goes to #16. No doubt. Perfect for crammed, half-open slaughterfest maps, like SF2012 map03 or map10. Maybe with extended/double climax it's the best beat-the-shit out of them

Never understanded why TNT was the one that all of the effort was made in Final Doom, both the level design and the inclussion of new tracks...

[@PeterLawrenceYT]

I feel Plutonia has far more polished level design and combat than TNT.

[@sebastiankulche]

@@PeterLawrenceYT If i dont like something about Plutonia and Master Levels is that the levels are way too big and trial and error based. The big levels makes the Doom limitations even more clunky, and some of the most small ones are very cramped and filler with lots of annoying enemies. At least TNT maintains some of the few good aspects i like from Doom 2 and even 1, plus it combines it with a damn good soundtrack. It still isnt perfect though and the entire pack feels like Doom 1 episode 4 in a nutshell, lol.

This isn't an official MIDI pack release though, it's fan made, by me. If you wanna create your own spinoff on this project by composing for the rejects, go for it. And that new music will be yours to put onto your own Bandcamp instead of me potentially profiting from it.
