Just curious about what midi you're really feeling right now and why it hits the spot.

i've been listening to the midi of the talosian incident's map09 quite a bit lately. for a wad that's rarely spoken about, it certainly does have a great selection of midis to listen to

Gougaru · January 9, 2023

Awesome! Definitely will check it out

I've played TNT: Evilution for the first time not too long ago, with the community TNT midi pack. Enjoying the midis quite a lot, casually listening to a bunch of them. My highlights so far would be tracks for levels 04, 07, 16, 20, 27, 28

Good call, I remember this having nice atmospheric and moody music that went very well with the maps.

For me, at the moment I cant get that Pachelbel Canon in D MIDI from BOOMEDIT out of my head. It's really charming and fits that tutorial map really well, though it would probably not fit the majority of "regular" maps.

....now I'm curious to see what a dark, moody level with Holst's Neptune segment would be like.

I honestly don't have a favorite midi...but i do have a a list of midis i do enjoy listing too when either my internet goes out or when i'm doing work besides mapping on the computer.

I'll give a short list of midis i like to listen too and it not in any order:

From Doom 1:

E1M2

E1M3

E1M7

E1M8

E2M2

E2M8

From Doom 2:

Shawn's got the shotgun (the .Mid the way id did 2 midi is better imo)

Into sandy's city

Waiting for Romero to play

Adrian's Asleep

Message from the Archvile

Opening to hell or i like to call it Opening to the gates of hell

From community projects:

Most of .Mid the way id did 2 for doom 2

Most of Doom: Damnation by Ofisil (which by the way i have used some of his midis for my maps)

Stuff from Doomkid

and finally i've been thumbing through both Eternal Doom anniversary and Plutonia 2 community project midi packs.

Like i've said i don't really have a favorite i'm more of a enjoyer of midis then picking my favorite

Astral Dreadnough by none other than James Paddock. First listened it in Valiant and then in Plutonia 2. Really good.

My favorite right now is a track by Mr. Freeze. It was made for the "Doom the Way id Did" soundtrack and plays on map E2M8. I'm making a dark Doom I level right now and this midi hits the atmosphere in the right way.

I heavily dislike how it sounds in the Arachno SoundFont, but the posted video is the only one I could find on youtube:

from the original games? something like e1m2's comes to mind, for a while i mostly ignored it but at some point i really fell in love with that bass line

STRAIN's original soundtrack has some good ones like map02 and map11
