Hi guys,
I have just converted my DM2 MIDI collection into MP3s and I'm looking for some data to fill the tags.
(1)
Who's the composer of the soundtrack? Wikipedia lists the following artists: Allister Brimble, Rick Jackson, Brian Luzietti, Anthony N. Putson. However, since there are several versions of the game with each version having its own soundtrack, I was wondering if all of these people also were involved in the PC version.
(2)
I guess, that there are no official track titles available for the MIDI files. Since it's a while since I've played DM2 the last time, I may not remember correctly, but as far as I remember each place has it's own music track. If that's true, is there maybe a list of places and the corresponding music tracks. I would use them for the title tags.
Cheers,
Mophus the Healer

Re: DM2 Music
I don't know about composers but I can remember a few locations where some of the music plays. Haven't played the game for a while now, though, so may not be able to specifically remember where every track in the game shows up .

Mophus...
Have a look here: http://dmweb.free.fr/?q=node/612
I haven't read them, but there are scans of the booklet from the PC version. Maybe the names are in there.

Re: DM2 Music
Thank you. According to the manual the PC music is composed by Allister Brimble and Rick Jackson.Saumun wrote:Mophus...

However, I'm still looking for a track name list. This is what I have so far (not much). Feel free to complete the list.
- Title theme (Outtake?) -- I don't remember hearing this music in the game. Could be an outtake originally indended as the title theme.
- "Thorn Demon forest"
- First village
Re: DM2 Music
Struggling here... The only info i could find referred to them as Track 1, Track 2, etc.

Re: DM2 Music
Let's try.
I changed the order according to DM2 ingame numbering. And I give as reference the order found in the midi archive from dmweb (which you probably used).
There are several musics that are not used in game, probably because they had not really a place to fit in.

Re: DM2 Music
If there are 64 'levels', then i think this table is related to the music:
index is 'level', result is songindex (Sphenx' list).
table =
3, 18, 15, 28, 5, 13, 13, 19, 16, 14, 13, 13, 17, 7, 22, 15,
18, 18, 18, 18, 4, 9, 18, 15, 3, 24, 23, 21, 18, 1, 3, 3,
3, 10, 3, 4, 15, 17, 29, 23, 20, 10, 23, 4, 18, 3, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, 15
we now just need the level names
btw: hugs Sphenx hard!

Re: DM2 Music
Yes, I've used Timidity++ and SGM-V2.01 to convert the MIDIs into 24 bit. And the result sounds really, really nice... at least for me. However, I'm not an audio expert.Sphenx wrote:Let's try.
By the way, I'm interested to know a little more about your mp3 rendition; did you apply significant sound quality improvement like specific soundfont, VSTi or any other ?
