Nice tune. I'd like to hear your take on Stickerbrush Symphony. I think it's probably the best tune on the DK Country 2 OST. (and it even sounds fantastic straight out of a SNES)
I know of that song thanks to you. I listened to it on Youtube after you told me about it and alas I realized I missed that song back in the time.
I only played the original DKC on the SNES before moving to PC. Thanks for sharing, Sigfried1977, I am thinking about trying to add my own flavour to it, someday.
I listened to the song in the original SNES sound, and it sent chills down my spine. What a lovely melody.
On a different note, I still have Final Doom from the very late 90s -I kept it in the box of a Diablo 2 Battlechest bundle-, Ultimate Doom and Doom 2.
I love listening to the MIDI music of the originals using great soundfonts, especially if you add some mods to play the game in true 3D. It runs so smooth, and looks good. I wonder how iD are going to implement the music in the old versions of Doom.
But I know that the music of Doom was created with the Roland Sound Canvas 55 in mind -Carmack said that it was the synthesizer they used-.
I have the Roland Soundfont. It is 10MB, not much these days -Titanic is 275MB, SoniVOX is 250-, SGM is 250MB, Crisis 3.01 is 3,4GB....!!!
Even so, it has a very balanced, warm sound, regardless the limitations of the time. It's amazing what Roland engineers could do with just that memory for samples.
p.s. I played the game on a SoundBlaster AWE32 featuring the 1MB General Midi Wavetable. Fine for its very very small size, Doom sounded decent on it, but not even close to the Roland SC-55.
