Davester2296 | DOOM | Plutonia MIDI Pack - Stealth Mode [Cover By DAR] - MAP22 @DAR-Davester2296 | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
I haven't forgotten about MAP21, I'm 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. Didn't 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 it'd 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

A tale of one young mans harrowing journey and first deployment as a UAC Space Marine. War is Hell, even more so when the enemy is Hell itself...
Well this work has certainly been a journey! Hello all, Im very proud to say that in spite of everything that happened at the start of the year, this Doom short-film has risen from the ashes!
Just as I mentioned in this uploads previous iteration, I want to give a shoutout to Gaia74, as it was his request during the Subscriber Appreciation Event 2021 that wound up leading to this short-film/music-video! Also special thanks goes out to Vilison for drawing up the artwork based off the original thumbnail!
Also, I cant forget to also thank the talented spriters and modders in the Doom community. Without their wonderful work, we wouldnt have this video!
For commentary about the video-side of things, check further below.
Now, its time to dig into this behemoth of a song!
The Eternal Sky now stands as my longest original song yet! I was pretty nervous about whether I could pull off composing a song to fit this video. To my surprise though, things went rather smoothly!
With Sky being in the name, it seemed only natural that I include the motif from my song Sky. Sky has had a long history, dating back to my RISEN album (which is getting remade after this posts!). From there, its seen a few revisits and variants, such as Heofones Mist on HORIZONS and Taking Flight from On Impulse.
Just to tickle my own nostalgia, I wound up even using the same synth-piano as I had used on the original Sky from back in 2014! Never thought Id go back to it, as I felt it sounded kind of dated compared to my usual pianos. However, I think it worked pretty nicely here!
Recording and riffing around on the guitar was a blast! That double-tapping at the end was intense, I wound up getting a blister from it!
As for bass, I had gotten halfway through recording it when I decided to scrap it. I just didnt quite like the tone I was getting. So instead I opted for a synth-bass, it just felt like it had the right texture to it.
I also really enjoyed coming up with the strings and the electric piano parts.
Speaking of piano, I hope you all got a grin out of my little nod/parody to E1M1s motif at 9:37. I just couldnt resist throwing it in there, especially considering the scene, with the Doom Slayer teleporting in and all. Then I follow that up with a bit from my song Requies from my Red Planet II album, and then I bring the Sky motif back in. Boy, I tell ya, I wouldve never imagined mashing together Requies and Sky like that.
Also, mix-wise, I decided to try something different. For my double-tracked rhythm-guitars, I decided to make the left-side more prominent, and kept the leads aimed to the right, since thats what I had done when making the MIDI.
Theres a lot that I love from this track, but Id probably write a novellas worth going over everything! So Ill end it here.
I hope you all are as happy as I am to see this short-film make its return! I also hope this new DAR-original tune got all you guys headbangin out there! m/ ~DAR

Time for some good ol heavy metal m/!
Surprisingly, I actually had a little bit of a hard time recording this one. I wound up having to rely on the MIDI/VSTi bass running through my usual signal-chain (with some tweaks), since I just could not get a good take on my bass. The takes were just too sloppy-sounding, and more importantly, the tone just did not gel well with the mix either. Gave it a shot though at least!
Fortunately things fared better on the rhythm and lead guitars! Though, I feel that my fast leads are a bit sloppy at times. However, in the context of the full mix, with the right amount of blend from the reverb & delay sends/aux channels, it sounds nice. That said though, the leads may not be 1-to-1 with the original MIDI. But I still jammed out to it just fine while recording the gameplay footage, so it ought to be alright!
Despite having a tricky time with this one, I actually got it done fairly quickly. I wouldve had this out like a few days sooner, but I had some particularly stormy weather blowing over. After one too many interruptions from brown-outs over the years, I always just wait things out. Such is the way of things while trying to record during stormy season... that and apparently the power transformer either blew up or got damaged, so that was another day of waiting while the electric company got that replaced.
Anyways, hope you all enjoyed jamming along to the cover! ~DAR
