# Euphonium: Sound Blaster Pro Edition
\n*A resourcepack that transforms Euphonium\u2019s ambient sounds into an authentic MS-DOS Sound Blaster experience.* <\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udd09 **Why This Exists**
\nModern audio is too clean! This pack downgrades Euphonium\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n
## \ud83c\udf9b\ufe0f **Technical Deep Dive**
\n### **22.05 kHz Sample Rate**
\n– Matches the Sound Blaster Pro\u2019s hardware limit for games (*half the 44.1 kHz CD standard*).
\n– Reduces high-frequency aliasing, just like the original DAC\u2019s analog low-pass filter. <\/p>\n
### **8-Bit Depth + TPDF Dithering**
\n– The SB Pro used 8-bit DACs for digital audio (e.g., VOC files).
\n– **Dithering**: `TPDF` (Triangular Probability Density Function) with **Shibata noise shaping** mimics the card\u2019s analog noise floor, avoiding “digital grit” while preserving dynamics. <\/p>\n
### **Brown Noise Layer**
\n– Adds a subtle `-50dB` brown noise hiss to emulate:
\n – The SB Pro\u2019s analog output stage.
\n – CRT monitor interference (iconic for DOS gaming). <\/p>\n
### **Low-Pass Filter @ 7500 Hz**
\n– Replicates the Sound Blaster\u2019s physical output filter, which rolled off frequencies above ~7.5 kHz. <\/p>\n
### **Overdrive + Gain Reduction**
\n– **Overdrive 2**: Light distortion from the SB Pro\u2019s op-amp circuits.
\n– **Gain -1**: Prevents clipping after dithering\/noise injection. <\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udcfc **Authenticity Notes**
\n– Tested against recordings from *Duke Nukem 3D* (SB Pro) and *DOSBox-Staging*\u2019s SB emulation.
\n– The chain (`sox` effects + noise shaping) mirrors how games like *Doom* mixed PCM audio. <\/p>\n
## \u2699\ufe0f **Compatibility**
\n– Designed for Euphonium **1.0.3+1.20** _(other versions untested!)_.<\/p>\n
## \ud83d\udd87\ufe0f **Credits**
\n– **Tools**: `sox` for DSP, `find`\/`bash` for batch processing.
\n– **Inspiration**: VOGONS community, SBEMU, and real SBPro hardware tests. <\/p>\n
