A discussion on restoring EQ's music once and for all

[Xevin]

Sorry to necro this thread, but I have some music to share with everyone:
http://www.4shared.com/playlist/NMVg...oundtrack.html

All songs are MP3 320Kbps 48,000KHz 24bit. They were direct converted from the original XMI to MP3 using a mixture of 4 different ridiculously high quality soundfonts. All the original effects and post processing are applied except chorus. (not supported/needed)

Compare to this: http://www.xs4all.nl/~treesong/EQmp3.zip

Now we just need to find a way to get the MP3s to play instead of the XMIs...

BTW I think I found the thing that made the AWE32 so special. It had a ROM chip that stored a soundfont on it that the synthusr.sf2 would work in tandem with. That soundfont was made by E-MU and licensed by Creative (Sound Blaster). It's called SYNTHGMS.SF2. (see this link: http://www.un4seen.com/forum/?topic=...61394#msg61394) I rendered the music with those two (i.e. completely classic) and compared it to the version using the mix of super high quality soundfonts I used. The high quality soundfonts are worlds better in both quality and style. Of course I've been told my ear for music isn't so good...
