📋 About This Mod
# Euphonium: Sound Blaster Pro Edition *A resourcepack that transforms (https://modrinth.com/mod/euphonium)’s ambient sounds into an authentic MS-DOS Sound Blaster experience.* ## 🔉 **Why This Exists** Modern audio is too clean! This pack downgrades (https://modrinth.com/mod/euphonium)’s sounds to **8-bit, 22.05 kHz** with analog imperfections, mimicking the gritty, warm noise of a 1992 Sound Blaster Pro (1.0). Perfect for retro-styled modpacks or DOS gaming nostalgia. ## 🎛️ **Technical Deep Dive** ### **22.05 kHz Sample Rate** - Matches the Sound Blaster Pro’s hardware limit for games (*half the 44.1 kHz CD standard*). - Reduces high-frequency aliasing, just like the original DAC’s analog low-pass filter. ### **8-Bit Depth + TPDF Dithering** - The SB Pro used 8-bit DACs for digital audio (e.g., VOC files). - **Dithering**: `TPDF` (Triangular Probability Density Function) with **Shibata noise shaping** mimics the card’s analog noise floor, avoiding "digital grit" while preserving dynamics. ### **Brown Noise Layer** - Adds a subtle `-50dB` brown noise hiss to emulate: - The SB Pro’s analog output stage. - CRT monitor interference (iconic for DOS gaming). ### **Low-Pass Filter @ 7500 Hz** - Replicates the Sound Blaster’s physical output filter, which rolled off frequencies above ~7.5 kHz. ### **Overdrive + Gain Reduction** - **Overdrive 2**: Light distortion from the SB Pro’s op-amp circuits. - **Gain -1**: Prevents clipping after dithering/noise injection. ## 📼 **Authenticity Notes** - Tested against recordings from *Duke Nukem 3D* (SB Pro) and *DOSBox-Staging*’s SB emulation. - The chain (`sox` effects + noise shaping) mirrors how games like *Doom* mixed PCM audio. ## ⚙️ **Compatibility** - Designed for (https://modrinth.com/mod/euphonium) **1.0.3+1.20** _(other versions untested!)_. ## 🖇️ **Credits** - **Tools**: `sox` for DSP, `find`/`bash` for batch processing. - **Inspiration**: VOGONS community, SBEMU, and real SBPro hardware tests. *"It’s not a bug – it’s a feature (of 1992)."*
