Davester2296 | DOOM | Plutonia MIDI Pack - Death's Toll [Cover By DAR] - MAP20 @DAR-Davester2296 | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
This one really makes me think of some kind of old-school RPG.
Since I did "Jade Empire" earlier in the marathon (and really enjoyed doing the whole retro/synthwave thing), I've been really looking forward to covering another stewboy track!
I kept the song structure the same, but I did wind up adding another synth part and a new string-section bit all in the 2nd half (when everything finally hits, and gets all pretty-sounding).
This was a nice and relaxing one to put together. Also, as a heads-up, we'll be jumping to MAP22 up next. Was doing some thinking and had decided to save MAP21 for towards the end of the marathon.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy the cover! ~DAR

Really enjoyed how big and spacey this one came out sounding. Shoutout and thanks goes out to silentzorah for suggesting this track!
Originally, I thought about trying to metal up this one, like I had done for The Broken Ones. However, doing so didnt quite feel right, and I was also feeling in the mood for getting all ambient and atmospheric.
Got to have fun layering my synths in this one. My wonderful Sine Spooky Deep synth patch steps in once more to handle the low end. I also threw in some big reverb/delay combos, and even filtered and distorted their aux tracks.
My old and original Biggus Kickus (now Kickus the Lesser?) fills in for bass drum duties.
After getting everything all laid out and layered up, I still really wanted to try and include the guitar somehow. I decided on a clean (maybe slightly overdriven) tone for my Ibanez. I then proceeded to go with the flow and played something very quietly alongside the cover. Rather subtle overall, but I really liked what it added to this track!
Once all that was done, I messed with volume and panning automation. I had the low synth bus fade out and back in at times, and various other elements moving from left to right.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy my rendition of this ambient tune! ~DAR

One of the things I really love from this track is how the organ bit just slowly fades in and opens up.
Also, I think Im starting to get the whole retrowave sort of sound nailed down! I had fun dialing in a sound to layer with the drawbar-organ part.
The Juno-styled chorus and my whammy bar also return once more for this track as well! I did decide to swap out my usual amp sim for another. I really wanted something warmer, and mellower, compared to my usual brighter tone.
I wound up changing up the cello melody that plays midway through the song. Mainly since thats the part that got replaced with the lead guitar bit. Had to mess with it for noodlin and whammy-bar goofin shenanigans.
Something of note that I managed to properly achieve was the use of gated reverb! Now, I know, this is a REALLY old and easy trick that just about every audio guy knows how to set up... but it took me forever to get it right, mainly because for whatever reason, the gate that I was using wasnt side-chaining properly. Thus, I never bothered messing with it any further. That is, until I finally decided to use a different gate plugin like I did here!
Once I got the aux/send-channel set up running parallel with the snare, I excitedly did the same for the kick and the toms as well. That gated reverb just really adds a special something to the drums on tracks like this especially!
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy the cover! ~DAR

This time around weve got a nice and spooky-sounding track.
Things were pretty straightforward here on this one, I just layered up my synths to get the textures that I wanted.
I will say though, its never not going to be hilarious how my DAR Beerstorming audio-clip works so well for creepy background ambiance. Basically, back during the D64D2 marathon, I decided to record a two-minute clip of me cracking open a cold one and proceeding to ramble, laugh, and belch into the microphone. Then, through the magic that is sound-design, I reversed, slowed, and distorted it (among other things) as heard here.
Anyhow, I hope you all enjoy the spookiness of this cover! ~DAR

Huge thanks goes out to Niko The Arms Dealer for taking the time to create a seamless 30-minute loop of this track!
I wound up cutting together already existing footage in order to fill up the time. I also threw in a couple of easter eggs into the video just for laughs.
I was planning on throwing in more silly things like making a sandwich and some coffee midway through the video (among other things). I also planned on having a full little parody battle too, but cut it short since it wouldve taken too long to make just for a gag.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy! ~DAR

Been a while since we had a D64 track (well, technically Watch Your Rock was a rockin take on Blood Red Shadows)!
More spooky noises, but this time weve got some strings and synth strings to give a bit more musicality to things.
For a bit, I thought about whether I wanted to use all normal strings or not. After listening to the original, I decided to keep the low-strings normal. However, for the higher-strings, I decided to go more electronic/synth strings.
I had fun messing around with filters and reverbs again. For the high-strings in particular, I wound up also routing them to an aux channel that I then heavily saturated and reverberated. I also did a lot of volume automation on my layers again. Swelling all those strings for dramatic effect!
Speaking of messing around with a bunch of effects... I realized at one point that I needed to try adding something in the background. Some kind of ambience to fill the space underneath the track.
Had myself a really dumb idea, but I had a good feeling that it would probably work. So, I got my microphone set up, got me a beer, then I hit the record button. Got me 2 minutes of myself drinking, burping, and remarking to myself how dumb this idea was. Saved and then loaded the audio into the project. Reversed it, and pitched it down an octave, threw some effects and reverb on there... and it actually worked out!
Some highlights being at 1:11, what sounds like a reverbed monster roar/rumble was actually the best burp of the recording. 2:21 was me commenting on the first couple of weak burps. Then around 2:40 is the sound of me cracking open the beer.
Thats the beauty of sound design and ambience shenanigans, man. You can take the dumbest, and weirdest things, and... itll just work out in the end. No one would ever know either. Only those of us privy to this silly trivia here in the description will be able to have a chuckle at the fact that weve got spooky beer burps for ambience.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy our last of the spooky/ambient songs in the soundtrack. Up next, were kicking things into high gear! Cant wait to start working on MAP31s Dream, Dream Eternal. ~DAR

Finally got around to working on this great MAP01 track from Back To Saturn X!
I got stuck for a while on this one actually. I spent a lot of time trying to decide whether to use the acoustic throughout the whole thing (like in the original).
I finally decided to use my Ibanez for the majority of it, saving the acoustic for that nice little bit towards the end.
Anyways, hope you all enjoy! ~DAR

This release shouldnt be a surprise for those of you whom follow the originals channel. As for everyone else, I am very proud to present VOLUME 1 of my first ever MIDI Soundtrack! Specifically an (mostly) original soundtrack for a large total conversion mod for the GZDoom engine (more details can be found in the pinned comment on this video).
To date, this is my largest collection of songs (18!) that Ive put out in a single release! The length of the soundtrack is actually half as long as it is here. I decided to have each track loop at least once before fading out, mostly for the sake of everyones listening pleasure!
Its been a very fun and interesting experience composing my first all-MIDI soundtrack! Ive found that I compose and write quite a bit differently compared to my usual style when writing with a guitar in my lap. Not having to worry about all the usual things (like VST plugins, EQ, mixing, mastering, etc.), I was able to just solely focus on writing music! Working within the constraints of General MIDI and GZDooms default soundfont (gzdoom.sf2) really has been a case of less is more.
As the name suggests, this soundtrack is still FAR from finished! I just figured that with 18 MIDIs created so far for the project, now would be a good time to release a part 1 or VOLUME 1 of sorts.
The soundtrack will have quite a variety of songs (to go along with the varied styles of levels split among the 3 episodes). Some tracks are my own little extensions/renditions of Wolfenstein 3D tracks. Some tracks have a more techno/electronic theme (intended for use in the Astrostein-like moon levels of Episode 3). Some tracks trying to imitate Wolfenstein 3D (such as The Operator Shuffle). Then there are songs that try to keep things more orchestral in nature. Lastly, some tracks take a more rock/metal approach (Chains for Veins, Ending The Fight). This balance of different styles is something Im going to strive to keep as I continue composing for this project!
Anyways, I hope you all enjoy VOLUME 1 of this soundtrack as much as I enjoyed putting it together! ~DAR
***NOTE: For things to sound as intended (like in this video), please use the default GZDOOM soundfont, gzdoom.sf2!
