So many Doom ports these days of course use the superior Roland or Yamaha hardware to emulate, but this was how the most of us experienced the music back in the day.
Hey, just wanted to let you know, TH-cam now has a new useful feature, surprisingly. You can split the video into "chapters", making it so you can scrub through them easily on the video timeline, and I think all you need for that is to copy these timestamps into the video description!
I freaking LOVE how you presented all of the tracks, I've never seen anyone do this in TH-cam before but it works flawlessly! Thanks a lot for doing all of this!
That's so cool, I just acquired a YMF724 PCI (with an integrated OPL chip) and I wanted a reference to make sure the computer used the right FM chip. This comes handy!
this is my favorite kind of sound for DOOM, the sound blaster OPL music. I really don't like the "better" MIDI music, I know it's closer to "real instruments" but it sounds too plastic, too synthetic, too fake, it's like a musical uncanny valley, "that's not how doom sounds, THIS is how doom sounds".
Yeah I gotta agree with you. I've been playing doom since it was new, I'm 37. Maybe I'm biased in that this was the first way I ever heard DOOM music. The "better" midi always sounded off and it loses a certain atmosphere. One could say it's "Not even DOOM music" tee hee old reference.
It brings up so many memories... Endless lan games in a garage with friends. And doom played with the original opl3 is the only doom for me... Fm music is so special, almost organic.
Man, thank you so much for your link to download ! I am looking for these sounds for some time and nothing... thanks alot !!! I hate the midi and the mixed doom soundtracks that people like to post here on youtube.
thank you. i dropped my old EISA sound card a long time ago. I can't believe i'll regret it :-) thanks to you i finally can hear these poor sounds again linked to first Doom feelings forever
VideoTape 486dx66 :-D I don't remember the builder of my sound card (which was an ISA i remember now, my EISA came later) but my video card was a Cirrus Logic :-]]] RAM 16 Mo Hard Disk .... Quantum 250 Mo a bludgeon to prevent any bug
VideoTape no sorry, i never knew that. All i remember is that Extended ISA allowed me to get a resolution of 800x600 while ISA keep me at VGA (640x400 i guess) take a look at wiki. that's what i'll do now :-)
done ! 9 manufacturers AST Research, Compaq, Epson, Hewlett-Packard, NEC, Olivetti, Tandy, Wyse Technology et Zenith Data Systems in 1988 i got a EISA sound card later and the samples where realistic. It felt it better than OPL3 sounds. But now i realize that my Doom experience went together with OPL3 sounds. I got sound Blaster-like. Was it OPL3 ? i don't know
was just 10 in 95, dad brought home a 486 DX2 machine, had doom2. blew my fuckin mind.. played the ever loving shit out of it. man, imagine how happy i was to discover doom 1... then later Plutonia (TNT sucks my nads) then later doom64, nice. screwed around with an editor, copy paste huge armies of demons to kill... then later discovered custom WADS online then later doom3.. then later DoomRPG for mobile, never finished it tho.... somewhere before doom3 halfliffe and Valve Hammer Editor was my life... good times on ol' PC...... all doom'd out tho, sitll havent played doom2016 or eternal
Thanks for posting this. Playing Doom on anything like DosBox, PS3, Xbox, etc., it uses the General Midi/Wavetable based synth which doesn't sound right, and it's not the original music I remember when I played this game for the first time.
Hey, thanks everyone for good comments! Finally, here's Doom II player: th-cam.com/video/dO7bGgMMSZI/w-d-xo.html Download links are present in description, of course :-)
Fucking nostalgic. Just like how I remembered it when I first played this game on the Packard Bell Legend 822CDT. That monitor use to give me headaches sometimes lol
My dad owned this game back then around the mid 1990s. I still have the original box, but sadly, no floppies... Now THAT is music. Did you know they compiled the music using a Roland SC-55?
SC-55 was the first 'General Midi' compatible sound module in 1991, composers quickly adopted it : with a SC-55 and a 'MIDI Master Keyboard' you could easily write game OST in a very good quality for a low price (when compared to a professional recording studio costs). Doom on a SC-55 sounds like this : th-cam.com/video/SJ0Ob4PlCDU/w-d-xo.html
The modern Doom ports' music is how Robert Prince condoned Doom's soundtrack, but because of the primitive sound capturing hardware the game ended up sounding like this back in the day. Be sure to correct me if I am disgustingly wrong. It's just a theory.
When it comes to Doom's metal tracks, I'll always go Roland SC-55, no questions, it's objectively better in every regard. However, when it comes to soft, eerie tracks like E2M4's "They're going to get you", OPL3 seems to outshine SC-55 when it comes to capturing the ambiance.
That's the real one the majority of Doom OSTs that are in internet aren't the original, but are cleaner and HQ shitty ones thats how original doom players remenber!
yes ears have confirmed it, better than the adlib sound card...still sounds a bit shit mind, can't believe how some of this has aged and the amiga still sounds good
It would sound better if it was programmed in MML but of course no one cared about this. It is shame for Yamaha and Japanese technology which was far more advanced at these times. Sorry that I'm saying this but it is true (I heard many great original Japanese soundtracks composed on OPL sound chips which sounds better than this, all were written in MML).
Sorry, but apparently the Internet has terrible hearing memory (or everyone was using crappy Soundblaster clones in the day?). I experienced this game on OPL-3 SBPro, AWE32 and AWE64 (their OPL sound was all the same, original sound, only AWE could bass boost...) and this sounds only *similar* to the original OPL3, but not precisely like it. Some tracks are pretty close to the original but some unfortunately are not. Generally, it sounds worse -- unfortunately. Intro already shows that, someone in comments wrote E2M4 sounds like crap - guess why: cause it does not sound the way it should. Need to overcome my lazyness and upload proper, non DOSBOX, non emulation crap versions of these tunes. :x Still props for the effort.
This doesn't use GENMIDI, you should re-record this with GENMIDI: cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/635014783460179990/638059635982598174/genmidi.wad I basically used SLADE 3 to take out GENMIDI.LMP from Heretic Shareware's IWAD and created a new PWAD, then I put GENMIDI.LMP in my new PWAD file and saved it as GENMIDI.WAD, if you load this WAD with DOS DOOM in DOSBOX, you will see that it will sound just like how it did in A Visit to id Software (Nov 1993) while John Romero was playing a beta of DOOM on his computer, thus replicating his OPL card.
The OPL3 and OPL2 music in Doom is practically 1:1 barring slight differences between the sound cards themselves. This sounds close to it, but still isn't quite accurate - it's pretty clearly emulated.
+SonictheBedHog The original DOOM used MIDI too. The sound just depends on whatever MIDI or sound card device the game is played with (or whether the game is set up to use Adlib/Sound Blaster for music). Some source ports such as ZDoom have an option to use emulated OPL2 for music playback.

So many Doom ports these days of course use the superior Roland or Yamaha hardware to emulate, but this was how the most of us experienced the music back in the day.
And if you’re playing the exe on DOSBox because it won’t run on Linux (oddly specific, but this is my experience)
There is a option in prboom-plus it's in the first page on setup. I forget it's name, probably called referred sound system. Set it to opl2.

E1M8 is the best one and E1M4
This is DOOM how I remember it. Thanks for this man!
D Manchu gravity ultrasound is rock&roll but soundblaster is better
Now *this* is the Doom I remember :)
Me too! This is the music I grew up with.
I didn't know until I heard it but this is what I've been looking for. This music is EXACTLY how I remember it. Thank you very much!
I’m 19 and I remember doom sounding like this
This really takes me back. So many good memories DOOM was like a coming of age for me.
I freaking LOVE how you presented all of the tracks, I've never seen anyone do this in TH-cam before but it works flawlessly! Thanks a lot for doing all of this!
That's so cool, I just acquired a YMF724 PCI (with an integrated OPL chip) and I wanted a reference to make sure the computer used the right FM chip. This comes handy!

Same reason for me with the soundtrack to lands of lore. The minimalism and simplicity beats the fancy stuff every time
Smart move with the progress bar, and buttons!

Doom ost is supposed to be more metal but this sound chip makes it much more sinister, i like it!
This is actually how it's supposed to sound. Midi makes some of these songs sound stupid.

then later doom3.. then later DoomRPG for mobile, never finished it tho.... somewhere before doom3 halfliffe and Valve Hammer Editor was my life... good times on ol' PC......
all doom'd out tho, sitll havent played doom2016 or eternal
This sound card makes the game (Doom, Heretic, Hexen) feel like a microcosm.
Thanks for posting this. Playing Doom on anything like DosBox, PS3, Xbox, etc., it uses the General Midi/Wavetable based synth which doesn't sound right, and it's not the original music I remember when I played this game for the first time.
Can you add the part where the game locks up and whatever note was playing last drones on forever even after you hard reset your 486? Thanks lol
Can you do the same with Duke Nukem 3D soundtrack with the OPL3
Yes! You can!
SoundBlaster my favourite
The intermission always puts me in a good mood.
i love original doom midi music, i remember when i played in my pentium mmx in 1998, 1999
this isn't the midi music
@PixelCompa It's the OPL3 version, not the midi version. They sound distinctly different.
The ending is sad , the demons literally killed is pet rabbit.
I'm listening to this right now on the very speakers I had as a 3 years old, feels insane that over 20 years have passed already

i don't remember it sounding like this .... and it doesn't even today when i run it in dosbox with soundblaster
Man, am I happy I grew up hearing it like a Roland SC-55 lol
Played it back in the day still have it in my attic with the dos
Thank you so much for this. I think I'll go play some DOOM now.
Awesome idea. :)
fuck yeah ima play this over other games :D the sound blaster version u uploaded is so much better. its how i remember it.
Fucking nostalgic. Just like how I remembered it when I first played this game on the Packard Bell Legend 822CDT. That monitor use to give me headaches sometimes lol
this shows me how much I like OPL3 clones^^ never had a real one as a child and now I am spoiled ;-)
Thx for upload ;) Have a super daY!!!!!
Nothing can top midi music!

Is it just me or do these tracks sound better and more creepy with the atmosphere of the game? And I grew up with the "remastered" version lol
E1M7 is absolutely amazing
Plasma ray not for me. It literally hurts my ears! xD
It sounds jagged, but it plays all the right strings of my nostalgia! Thanks a lot!
Great !
bringing back alot of memories.. fucking awesome love this
THANK YOU!!
@2:53 Sounds like farts.

this is what i needed for my iphone while drawing my summoning circle in my basement
the original and best!
Cool
Back in the day I downloaded the Doom soundtrack ripped from a Roland sound card, but now want to download the sound blaster version.
The modern Doom ports' music is how Robert Prince condoned Doom's soundtrack, but because of the primitive sound capturing hardware the game ended up sounding like this back in the day.
Be sure to correct me if I am disgustingly wrong. It's just a theory.
did you know the modern music was actually sc55 and sc55 exist in the 90s
When it comes to Doom's metal tracks, I'll always go Roland SC-55, no questions, it's objectively better in every regard. However, when it comes to soft, eerie tracks like E2M4's "They're going to get you", OPL3 seems to outshine SC-55 when it comes to capturing the ambiance.
I don't personally like the E1M1 version because I've heard it so many cool different ways, but the rest is pretty cool
Why did youtube have to remove anotiations. This video literally broke from it
Is E2M3 really the same music as the intermission, or did you mess up E2M3?
It's the same music.
T I M E S T A M P S
is this from the dosbox version ? because i got doom from steam and i heard this soundtrack
That's the real one
the majority of Doom OSTs that are in internet aren't the original, but are cleaner and HQ shitty ones
thats how original doom players remenber!
MOTHER OF GOD IT'S ALL TOILET SOUNDS
Sound Blaster Pro
oh yes the general midi hehe ;)
My favorite: E2M8
yes ears have confirmed it, better than the adlib sound card...still sounds a bit shit mind, can't believe how some of this has aged and the amiga still sounds good
This how DooM must sound 😈
This is how my shit computer sounded playing doom and I love its toothiness
The Google Drive file is no longer available. Reupload?
Hmm... why no MIDI files in your package? Did you forgot something?
It would sound better if it was programmed in MML but of course no one cared about this. It is shame for Yamaha and Japanese technology which was far more advanced at these times. Sorry that I'm saying this but it is true (I heard many great original Japanese soundtracks composed on OPL sound chips which sounds better than this, all were written in MML).
IMO E1M6 and E2M6 sound great on Sound Blaster while tracks like E2M4 sound so awful I dont know if I ever heard it loud enough playing the game

I have a SB AWE32, I play DOOM on it.
You can't perfectly emulate OPL3... original chip is still the best way to experience this music.

That's how you could have made it sound. It's not modded at all.
+SonictheBedHog The original DOOM used MIDI too. The sound just depends on whatever MIDI or sound card device the game is played with (or whether the game is set up to use Adlib/Sound Blaster for music). Some source ports such as ZDoom have an option to use emulated OPL2 for music playback.
