old Xcom1 dos music

[Volutar]

It doesn't loop perfectly because of "in-between" silent gap between tracks (probably because of buffering or something). Very first time when I heard most perfect looping was in Quake3.

[Zharik1999]

I see, but why in DOS they loop perfectly?

[Volutar]

Because dos uses adlib FM synthesis, which works like midi, without audible gaps between notes.

I guess my last question was rather silly, thanks for explanation

[Bomb Bloke]

Are you still wanting save games? I can generate pretty much any scenario you could wish for.

I'm not sure if they'd be of any use at this point, but I still have a couple of SB16's around here, too.

[Volutar]

Bomb Bloke, no need to, we've already hacked and recorded all tracks with high quality

[Zharik1999]

Yes, and that's great. Now I'm really obsessed with getting original DOS sounds from 1.0-1.2 versions of the game.

[Bomb Bloke]

Tycho can probably answer any questions you have about those. He goes by Morgan525 on the UFOpedia wiki.

Are these music files still around?

[Zharik1999]

Of course, https://rghost.ru/39566489

Sorry Link is dead and i cant find where i saved these last time, can someone re-upload ?

 Also Any objections if i put them on the Modsite for long term storage ?

There you go. Do whatever you want with it, though it should last for a while at my storage.

It is the version which Volutar made, right?

I've noticed something. Although the files are STEREO, when i opened the files in Sound Forge, it became clear that it is in fact MONO. The same sound is on both sides!

Question: Is the game's original music stored as STEREO, or it is MONO? Because if it is STEREO, then we should attempt to capture it somehow in STEREO.

[Volutar]

Adlib music which I've  converted is stereo. Even in sound forge it's obvious. So it is some other's. Frankly I've started this conversion because got this "mono" tracks, and wanted to make them better.

Oh, and could you upload me to some place those STEREO tracks? Please!

EDIT:
I have completed the site i have planned.

So, for all those of you, who have problems with music, and who wants midi playback (converted to ogg) balanced and reliable, i recommend this:
