MUSIC

Original music for DooM wads. Three formats, depending on the piece:

  • MUS - what the original Doom engine uses
  • MID - standard MIDI, compatible with the General MIDI spec, and playable by many ports
  • MP3 - best quality, most reliable reproduction, possibly playable by some ports; also for just listening

Some mp3s have real guitars and drums, or better drum samples, some are pretty much what the MIDI file sounds like in the game.

The looping versions are designed to be used in a wad, and must loop back to the top to sound right. For some tracks, I provide a second mp3 version with an intro and/or fade out, or expanded arrangement, for just listening.

The older MIDIs/MUSs were optimized chiefly for the original game engine's MUS player (driving that wretched, old 8-voice, 2-op FM synth -- ah, the memories! 8-) while retaining some semblance of General MIDI compatibility.

If you use my music in your level, send me a download link, or email the wad to me as an attachment.

If you're interested in writing music for your own wads or for other games, you might consider getting the book

Composing Music for Video Games.
