DOS Lemmings music

[ccexplore]

I am indeed running the latest version of DOSBox. While playing the music sounds pretty normal on my speakers, I only start to really notice the loud parts when I use headphones. You can listen to the track I uploaded to see if it sounds the same as on your machine.

Well ok I just had a listen, and it certainly does sound different.

But, is this recorded directly through the sound card's output line, or is it recorded off the speakers via a microphone?̆ Does your speaker reproduce bass well?̆ Rather than just volume, it sounds to me that the DOSBox's percussion sound is has a stronger bass component compared with your recording's.̆ Couple with the fact that you said it sounds different between speakers and headphones, and it's possible that maybe it's just that your speakers reproduce bass less well (or that your headphones is boosting bass).

There's no question though that your rip and covox's rip sound more similar than DOSBox's emulation, so it could also really be an inaccuracy in DOSBox's emulation.̆ As for the minor differences between your rip and covox's, they might be accounted for by differences in speakers, microphones, and the compression settings used to compress the sounds into OGGs.

In any case, I'd love to get the specs of adlib.dat. I've never done the whole hex editor thing, but it sounds like I could handle it. I read the guide on the MultiEx Commander site: http://multiex.xentax.com/

If I'll be able to figure everything out from what you have I'll make a plugin for that.

Ok, except adlib.dat ultimately translates to just a sequence of commands to the adlib sound card, so any playback on modern machines will require an adlib emulator like the one in DOSBox......

If there's any doubt, all of mine were recorded using line out -> line in. And imho there are a few instruments that sound a bit better on the native hardware, like the "ba-da-ba ping" trills that start in the fifth bar (0:07) of Oh No! #1.

There is an extra / in the link there, DragonsLover. Ill post the proper link here.

Tim.

EDIT: Ive realized that the bugs in the two tracks could be due to scratches on the CD. However, the game still works perfectly. Weird.

Are you sure? I don't see any extra "/" in my link.

For the bugs, I think it's possible to correct them using a sound editor because there are other parts in the songs that are similar to the places that are buggy.

ONML soundtrack ripped. http://rapidshare.com/files/2310603/music_ohno_dos.tar.bz2.html

Can anyone please re-upload this file somewhere? It's dead now, but I'd really love to have it!

Thanks for your help, but this link does not work. I always get an error box telling me that "this content seems no longer be available on mediafire". Do you have or know about another source?

[Mindless]

Couldn't get mediafire to accept it as a .tar.bz2, so I gzipped it instead.

This time it worked - thanks for your effort.

If anyone wants the whole DOS soundtrack in OGG, it is available from this RapidShare link (51mb).

Has anyone extracted the soundtracks from Holiday Lemmings? Would be nice to have them also.

[Ouroboros]

does anyone have the music in MIDI format?
if someone does, could you uploaded it for me

also, could you use a .zip file if you want to compress it
I can't open anything else


thank you

If you have WinZIP, let it go. It's no longer 1998.

I dont want 2 download win-rar

winzip does fine for me

so I will ask again, could you please upload the files in winzip

or, you don't even have to upload it a compressed folder, just upload the full midis

if you need to, just upload in parts, I don't mind a longer download

[covox]

Just a suggestion mate. Ignoring other archive formats doesn't make them magically disappear, one day you might have to deal with something that isn't a ZIP file. (excluding ARJ and LHA, which I think work if you dredge up the decrepit DOS unpacker and dump it in the WinZip directory)
