i got those tunes from a QBasic adlib player. Does anybody know who wrote them and their title?

can't say i remember #1, but #2 was done by purple motion iirc. wtf did you use to record those tunes? =)

Probably he just played the songs with that qbasic adlib player and recorded them at the same time to wav/mp3?

i think the mp3s were recorded with adplug. as said on irc. the feedback on the bass drum in sample2 is also present on the AWE, but it's not that severe.

I double-checked now. The Qbasic player + AWE-64 sounds much better than the MP3s, so they must have been recorded with AdPlug :)

i don't know any of them, but #1 sounds alot like purple motion too.

If AdPlug is anything like the shockingly awful ModPlug at replaying then avoid it like the plaque.

please, which modplug version are you using? :P

AdPlug is probably the most known adlib player. but adlib emulation can never be perfect because of the analogue circuits. It doesn't sound too much different from the AWE-64, though. There are audible differences, though.

in case of modplug (Please, if you need to bash anything in the future, use MikMod and nod Modplug!), are interpreted wrong. In case of AdPlug, the generated sound is different from the sound that comes from a soundcard because analogue circuits simply can't be emulated perfectly. If you replace the .mp3 by .ogg, you can listen to the AWE-64 output.

oh, i think intrinsic is right. modplug is also worth bashing :)

Yes, it's bad beyond a joke at mod playback. Case in point, listen to Cream of The Earth by Romeo Knight in it, then through something like HippoPlayer on an Amiga(WinUAE works as well) or XMPlay(max stereo seperation remember!)

Seriously, I never spotted any difference between ModPlug and XMplay when listening to Cream of the earth. if you're so sure about your discovery, please tell me what Modplug is wrong and I'll try to fix it or tell one of the other devs to fix it :P

Adplug is not bad because of hard-to-overcome technicalities, it's just a pretty mediocre emulator in general.

Meh Reed(i think? one of the old tracking masters anyways) knows what the issue was, one of the codes in the mod replayer was handled badly/not at all or something, the technical details were over at nectarine once upon a time(somewhere around 2003/4/5?) in the forums from what i recall, or it could have been a thread here somewhere.
Im assuming we are talking about the same ModPlug available at: http://www.modplug.com/ ? That's the one im talking about anyways. From what i remember it was either the left or right channel that was not replayed at all or just very quietly.

ModPlug is not ModPlug anymore. Olivier released the sourcecode in ~2004 and since then, a new version, "OpenMPT" has been developed - which I'm using also trying to support (still learning C++ :P). A lot of bugfixes have been done since then. But hey, this is SO off-topic :P

True it is OT :) And i did see OpenMPT but haven't tried it, maybe it does work fine now which is good!

Both sound very much like Purple Motion's style, but I can't tell what the names of the tunes are.

Especially the first one sounds so much like Second Reality... Seems like i have to download all of PM's adlib tunes to find out :D

you could ask zefyros, he's an expert for adlib :)

do you really think he knows more about those tunes than PM himself? :P

Haha, thanks v3nomsoup, but yeah Saga Musix is right. People tend to know their own tunes a bit better than just some Sunday listener. Nice tunes and distinctive Purple Motion style anyway.
