Davester2296 | DAR - A World Gone Mad | [Solitude Of Mind remake announcement] @DAR-Davester2296 | Uploaded May 2023 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
Going back to where it all first began; the "Solitude Of Mind" EP!
I figured it was about time I started remaking everything in my song catalog. The "ON IMPULSE" album just needs small tweaks and a simple remaster. However, everything that came before it is going to get the redux treatment (much like the treatment that Cyclic Divide recently received!). Its going to be fun recapturing the magic of 45+ of my own songs!
For the most part, I'm going to stay very close to the originals, and try not to change them too much. Just making additions and modifications that sound cool... you know, its almost as if I'm covering myself! "DAR Covered By DAR"!
As I've come quite a long ways in the 9 years since I originally wrote and recorded this, I decided to spice up the leads! Throwing in a diving harmonic in the beginning for a stronger start and introduction. Then I also added those little runs (starting at 0:43) that both the leads and rhythm guitars play. Really enjoyed these, as I felt like it enhanced the energy of the track.
I also did some double-tapping, which wasn't used at all on the original. I even modified the melody a bit for the sake of variation, but also because the new bit has this certain feel about it. Really liked this small modification!
Something I found interesting was that I wound up going to my Strat for the leads. I used my Ibanez at first since I've been so used to using it for nearly everything. However, when I compared the two, the Strat just had that little extra bit of "magic" to the sound. Not quite sure how to put it, other than it had that and was a bit more nuanced.
Overall pretty happy that the Strat is reprising its role on leads for these classic albums/releases!
I also got around to experimenting with saturation a bit more. Through a bit of research, I wound up finding out that when used right, saturation can actually help tame the high frequencies. I wound up throwing saturation plugins on the rhythm and leads. I think it wound up rounding and smoothing things off quite nicely!
Aside from falling back in love with my Strat, the only other things I changed up were a few minor things regarding the song structure. The rhythm guitar in the intro repeated itself for an extra loop before everything kicked in. I also extended the pause/rest at 0:23 to give the stereo delay more room to echo out (that and to give things more impact when everything comes back in).
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy this remake of a "DAR Classic"! Also hope you all look forward to joining my on this trip down memory lane. Its sure to be a treat for old-time listeners, as well as folks new to the channel! ~DAR
(Also, I think this serves as a nice teaser for what my old works could all sound like now, both originals AND covers!)

So this one was a bit of a novel request. Never had someone ask me to cover a song that they themselves had composed! So shoutout and thanks goes out to Icon, over at the Den of DAR!
While listening to the original MIDI, I really liked the feel of it. It almost reminds me a little bit of something from the Plutonia MIDI Pack.
I was originally going to try and follow the original MIDI instrumentation as close as possible. However, at some point along the way, I felt like throwing in some synths and electronic stuff.
I wound up changing the rhythm guitar part and doing my own little thing at 1:03. Also really enjoyed noodling around and creating the guitar solo towards the end! I actually got stuck for a little bit and debated whether or not to noodle further. Fortunately I broke through that brief block rather quickly!
Thinking about it now, I did also change the rhythm guitar part to play an octave lower. I still kept the original part underneath all that though. The original rhythm can be more clearly heard on the left side during 0:49.
I was also quite happy to use Biggus Kickus once again (most notably during the 0:49 section).
Anyways, hope you all enjoy the cover! ~DAR

Ah, seven years ago in November of 2017, I embarked on the journey that was the TNT Marathon... Now, by popular demand thanks to your votes, WE. ARE. BAAAACK!!
Honestly, it doesnt feel like it was all that long ago...
So just as the TNT Marathon back then had started with Sadistic, so too does this one! Of course, I think itll go without saying whats in store for us at the end of this marathon!
Its great getting to come back to a different interpretation of Sadistic, quite nostalgic really! Ive played and covered this one pretty straight, since there wasnt much room for me to go off script so to speak. I had a few small moments, but aside from those, I faithfully stuck to the original MIDI.
Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy the debut of the TNT MIDI Pack Marathon, and hope you all are ready for the rest of the ride! ~DAR
On a side note, I forgot how much I loved and had missed the berserk pack + Final Doomers TNT weapon pack. One-shotting with that uppercut never fails to be absolutely hilarious!

I havent forgotten about MAP21, Im just saving it for towards the end of the marathon.
That said, man it was great getting to riff around and stuff on the guitar after doing the past couple of synth-heavy covers!
This one was nice, short, and fun. Didnt want to extend it any since, I think it works great when looping.
I did manage to add in some new things though. Just my usual riffing around, and even a pick-scrape bit just for funsies. Also decided to add a harmony part towards the end, since I thought itd sound cool!
I also quite like how the sparkly bell parts turned out!
Anyways, hope you all enjoy the cover! ~DAR

![DOOM | D64D2 - Watch Your Rock [Cover By DAR] - MAP21 (D64 - MAP17)](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Rc7vTgH_rnU/hqdefault.jpg "DOOM | D64D2 - Watch Your Rock [Cover By DAR] - MAP21 (D64 - MAP17)
Oh man, Ive got a lot to type about for this one (good things of course)!
So first, merging of D64 gameplay finally makes its much long awaited return! More specifically, Ive got a mix of Doom64 Retribution, Doom64EX, and D64D2 going on. D64RTR for my flying camera shots that I love doing. D64EX for the actual D64 gameplay. Im really happy with how this whole thing turned out.
Now for audio. I think this might honestly be in my top favorites for this soundtrack. Theres just so much in here that tickles my fancy. Weve got the nice and brooding acoustic guitar melody that is very reminiscent of the original version of Legion of the Lost by Grave Digger. Except, things go a little further by faking a 12-string guitar, in order to give it that extra richness. In this case, just harmonizing an octave higher.
After slapping on some reverb and chorus on my acoustic tracks, it just sounds sooo good. This kind of tone and sound of the acoustic really reminds me of something, but I cant quite think of what. Regardless of what it tonally reminds me of, its always very satisfying when you manage to nail a tone that youre aiming for.
Also, I was very happy to finally figure out a better gain setting on my interface, as well as mic placement for recording my acoustic! I also had myself some fun with a free plugin by IgniteAmps called PTEq-X. Never found a good use for this thing in the past year and a half, but now Ive finally found it a home in my signal-chain for my acoustic!
Anyhow, I started hearing a shaker and tambourine in my head, as if they were calling to me. The tambs were simple enough, just the tambourines in my EZDrummer kit. However, I decided to get silly and artsy for the shaker. Going to my kitchen, I was going to try screwin around with some rice. I wound up taking a near empty bag of sprouting seeds that I had originally gotten a couple years ago, just to see how it would sound. To my surprise, it sounded perfect. So, I hooked up the mic, turned up the gain, and there I sat... shaking a near-empty bag of alfalfa seeds. The result? Sounds better than any shaker sample I have, sounds more organic too (hah, pun)! From now on, its my designated shaker bag.
In the original, it was only MIDI guitars, but as I listened to it, I could hear the choirs swelling and the string sections playing.
Doing this with the strings and choir helped give the lead guitars more impact when they finally kick in around 3:05. I did change up the guitars slightly, in order to make them a little more interesting. Very subtle additions to the rhythm and leads.
Speaking of rhythm, the final stretch of the song. The original didnt have those distorted guitars. When I listened to the original, I felt like I picked up on this implied energy in the song. It had the fast hi-hats and a steady thump of the bass drum. However, I felt like I needed to make it go further and beyond, to really tap into that energy. So I chugged away, threw in some toms and some subtle timpani to reinforce this cool galloping rhythm. During this bit (5:28), I totally imagined DoomGuy wielding some bigass chainsaw-sword, leading a warband of other UAC Marines, whilst riding a tamed pinky or something.
Oh, and the leads, I had so much fun getting to use my whammy bar a lot in this one! When the leads first show up, its my usual detuning downwards that I like doing. However, when it came to the DAR-original solo, I got to finally really use it for faster downtunes. I pretty much just bopped the thing while soloing around. Been wanting to try doing this for quite a while.
Something funny about this solo was that I didnt intend for this one to be the final version. It was getting late and I was going to call it a night, but I figured Okay, Ill just do a demo take so I dont forget the general idea. I couldve sworn that I goofed up at least 2 or 3 times while I was playing. Went to bed, and then loaded the solo into the project the next day. I was surprised that my in-the-moment playing actually worked out pretty well! That, and those perceived mistakes were all just in my head! But yeah, really loved how the leads turned out in this.
Lastly, I had a bit of a throwback/nod to Victory with the dirty guitar from 4:18-5:27.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy this 8-minute epic! ~DAR

At long last, Ive finally finished this cover! Shoutout to ren for nominating this one way back during the lightning rounds of COVER BATTLEGROUNDS III!
So, what I had thought was some weird timing/synchronization issue with the MIDI clock, was actually TOTALLY wrong... The reality was that this was in 9/8 time, and I had a hell of a time trying to groove with the beat! I mean, I CAN count it, but playing and counting 9/8 at the same time was a struggle for me for some reason. In a way, I almost felt like I regressed to the days of when I first picked up a guitar! Anyhow, this is why I had such a hard time trying to mesh with this track!
Truth be told, I was almost going to scrap this again and concede defeat finally. However, I was feeling particularly stubborn and decided instead to power on through with a rock n roll attitude!
Unfortunately, I wound up having to change the bass and rhythm section quite a bit. To make up for this detour, I tried my best to keep the lead melodies faithful. Part of the reason that I needed to change the bass and rhythm sections was because they didnt quite allow me much room to make up new leads and noodle around.
I also fiddled around a lot more with note velocities for the drums. I usually just keep the velocities close to max, but this time theres a lot more variation.
To help back-up the lead guitar, I also threw in some synths into the mix. Specifically a layered combo of my Magical Chase sparkle-preset, and another synth. The synths are totally in a support role here, as I didnt want to detract from the guitar melodies/harmonies!
Also, 2:02 not sure where I suddenly pulled that one out from while noodling... Really made me think of it being like making my guitar speak with a bit of a southern drawl, or something. In any case, I particularly enjoyed doing that little bit!
Anyways, hope you all enjoy this cover! In the future, I really hope that I dont wind up having such a hard time with the other Space Manbow tunes (or any others for that matter)! ~DAR

Shoutout to ReneMC for nominating this particular track a while back! Also, many thanks goes out to all of you whom voted Duke to the top of COVER BATTLEGROUNDS V!
Upon the first few times listening to this track, I immediately knew I wanted to have clean guitar parts added into it! First came handling the synths and slapping reverbs and whatnot onto my string sections though. Speaking of synths, that synth was a preset I came up with completely from scratch! I had thrown together this Low Hum Pad while experimenting with the Helm synthesizer while I was working on my original Get Gored. Pretty happy that I got to use a new sound in something so quickly!
Anyhow, after getting all the other instruments set into their places for the cover, it was time to noodle around on the guitar! In order to get that brighter and bell-like tone, I chose to go full Stratocaster for this one (something that has really been a rarity over the last few years!). I really enjoyed recording the guitars on this. I just felt so relaxed, and I actually sat back a few times to close my eyes and just keep playing the new guitar bits over a loop. It really is nice being able to work on slower, soothing songs like this!
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the cover! Also, my apologies that this took me a while to get out. I actually wound up getting myself caught up in a long nostalgia-driven trip down memory lane while going through the Dragon Ball Z soundtrack. Im feeling really confident about the upcoming Dragon Ball Z cover, so I also hope that you all look forward to hearing it! ~DAR

As always, the MIDI is available for download down below. Feel free to use it in your Doom WADs or other personal projects!
Just a heads-up for any Doomers/mappers, since this MIDI is larger than 96kb, things might not work right if youre trying to use this in a vanilla-compatible WAD.

What an absolutely breathtaking and beautiful song! I just HAD to do cover this as soon as I heard about it. Paired up with an equally beautiful and gorgeously green (or jade, rather) map!
Shoutout to Nuru for bringing this track and WAD to my attention! I have a soft spot for really pretty tracks and if I hear them at the right time, Ill impulsively decide to try my hand at covering it!
I wish I hadnt forgotten to write up my thoughts shortly after I finished recording and mixing this a couple months back.
I wound up staying very close to the original though, and had a lot of fun playing around with my synths and layering them. This song just has such a beautiful texture to it, even in its MIDI form! Which made it an absolute joy to produce for here.
I diiiid wind up adding some guitars though. Nothing crazy though, I didnt want the guitars to take away from anything. Just some simple power chords to dogpile on to the synth layer stack going on! Really satisfying to me when they first hit.
Also, as soon as I heard the square-lead part, I KNEW I had to do it on lead guitar! I didnt want to do all of it on the guitar though, as I really liked the feel and vibe that the synth had. When that lead synth hits for the first time, its just simply magical! Then for the final section of that part, thats what I decided to do on guitar. I also threw in some whammy bar action for some tasty detuning on some of those sustained notes!
Also if I remember right, I think I wound up using some of my mixer track setup for how I was planning on doing things for the DREAM album. Hell, if anything, covering this song is going to be a MASSIVE influence on how Im going to approach that album whenever I have the time to get back to it!
Anyhow, hope you all enjoy this little surprise Doom cover! ~DAR
