Since some users reported that DXX-Rebirth has some troubles with 48 khz OGGS, I recorded the whole music of Descent 1 and Descent 2 again with a sample rate of 44.1 khz. This time, I made OGGs and MP3s. :-) Again, all files are of high quality. Each of them has a bitrate of approximately 192 kbps. ...

Version 1.7 has just been finished and is ready for download:
http://holbred.koolbear.com/8mbgm_enhanced17.rar
Nothing dramatically has changed. I tried to add more deepness in it. You can probably hear the most difference in level 12 and level 21.

For comparison: here's a new version of my level 12 sample. I made it with Beta 1.7 of my soundfont. Listen to the piano.

Re:
If anyone still wants an MP3 conversion of the D1 midis, I have a high-quality rendering I did using Cakewalk + Edirol VSC Synth. I should be able to get you a total package size of less than 100 MB at a good bitrate. I assume you are using a software synthesizer for creating the MP3s. I don't thin...

Version 1.4a has been finished and is ready for download. :) This is merely a bugfix release, since I discovered that two instruments (Saw Wave and Synth Bass 2) did not sound as they were supposed to do. Because of the fact that they are very important for the music of Descent 1, I strongly recomme...

Version 1.4 of my soundfont has been finished. I managed to reduce the file size dramatically by removing of all unused instruments and audio samples. This has no influence on sound quality. On the contrary: I improved it to a level that is better than ever before. :) The RAR file has now a size of ...

However, these software synthesizers do not work in games. They can only play midi files with a particular soundfont.The Lion wrote:Also, if your hardware really can't do MIDI, there's always software synthesizers such as Timidity.

Version 1.2 has been finished. It should be the final one. This version contains some last improvements to the sound of Descent 1 and 2. Listen, for example, to the bottomless bass of the Melodic Tom in descent.mid (Descent 1). :wink: The major changes, however, have been made to the sound of Monkey...

It's done! 8) After hours of hard work, I finished version 1.1 of my soundfont. It has improved basses and a lot of new instruments. Check the changelog for details. While I fixed the major bugs of Merlin's 8mbgm_plus13.sf2 in version 1.0, I did some fine tuning this time. I can say that this is the...

Better sound for Descent 1 and 2!
Hi all! I developed a soundfont which gives you back the original soundtrack of Descent 1 and 2. It is called 8MBGM ENHANCED. If you have a Creative Soundblaster card that is compatible with soundfonts (e.g. Live!, Audigy and X-Fi series), you can load it instead of the default soundfont. You can fi...

The smoke looks great! Good job, Diedel! @Kirby I'm having the same problems with smoke, but only if I enable smoking robots in render options. You should disable it. @Diedel I tried the high resolution textures of Novacron, however see no difference at all (even on lava textures). I put the switch ...
