-~~NOTOC~~ +Migrated to https://quakewiki.org/wiki/Quake_Soundtrack
- +
-The Quake soundtrack was composed by Nine Inch Nails. Trent Reznor and Chris Vrenna worked on it, Charlie Clouser and Danny Lohner probably too, Robin Finck probably not. NIN were working closely with id Software, they had access to work-in-progress builds of Quake. American McGee was responsible for coordination (([[/interviews/americanmcgee]])). +
- +
-Apart from the blasting distorted guitar riffs in the opening track most of the music is dark, deep and evil ambient. +
- +
-There are no official titles for the tracks. +
- +
-Since the soundtrack is standard redbook audio on the CD you can simply put the disc into a CD player and listen to it. The first track on the CD is the data track of the game data which might sound like noise if you try to play it in a CD player. +
- +
-Each map in Quake has one music track specified to be played when it is run. For example the start map "Introduction" uses the CD track 04. You can see the mappings on [[:quake/episodes_maps]]. +
- +
-The various options to buy and [[:quake/download]] online do not include the soundtrack, leaving the customer missing a significant part of Quake's atmosphere. You can download a Ogg Vorbis rip of the music at [[/files/music/quake_music.zip]] +
- +
-Some Quake engines support the use of standard audio files like Ogg Vorbis or MP3 for the soundtrack. Both the [[:quake/recommended_engines]] do. Consult their documentation. +
- +
-If you have the CD in the drive (or a disc image in a drive emulator) but Quake does not play any music, typically the problem is that on Windows or DOS Quake expects the CD to be in the "first" disc drive. So you need to have that drive have the "highest" letter, eg. if you have 2 CD drives D: and E:, Quake will use D:. +
