Trying out the best soundfonts for DOOM...

[TheUltimateDoomer666]

I've been looking for the overall best GM soundfonts for DOOM music. I have over 20, and so far my favorites are Weeds GM 3.0, Silverspring 1.5, and SONiVOX 24meg. I'm pretty happy with the sound of those, but I'm going to download some more (mainly giant ones); Fluid, Shan, Airfont, and the gigantic Crisis GM. I'll give my opinions on them when I download them. Are they worth the download? Any suggestions for the best MIDI soundfonts for DOOM?

I listened to some MP3 demos of DOOM music playing with Crisis GM 3.01 - it sounds awful; still deciding whether to download it. I downloaded Fluid Release 3, Airfont 340, and SGM, but none of those are better than Weeds 3.0.

My vote is for Weeds' soundfont. It's the best one that I have tried.

Another vote for weeds its the only soundfont I use.
Also listen to eternal doom 3 track 26 while using it you wont regret it ;)

The Weeds one was made specifically for the Doom soundtrack(s) so it's going to be hard to beat.

I haven't tried Crisis because it's just too big.

General User's isn't too bad, though it's not the one I use.

Looking in my soundfont folder, I have also got RealFont_2_1.sf2, mustheory2.sf2, and Unison.sf2. I don't think I have tried them yet.

This is possibly my favorite SF: http://www.geocities.jp/shansoundfont/

Also, the Shadow 1.0 soundfont is pretty cool, but can only be found in the Soundfont Collection torrent (need SFPack to extract the SFPack files).

Thanks for the suggestions. I do agree that Weeds is the best, but I'm still going to download a bunch more anyway, including the horrendous :P Crisis GM.
