Sound Check 2 Sound Effects Library Test Disc is the definitive audio test disc.

It's pretty criminal when you consider that we'll probably never know the full breadth of the man's output.With Built In Microphone & Sound Level Meter We've had a few fortuitous glimpses into this unseen work, such as the extended cut of Donna to the Rescue and just recently a hitherto unheard of rendition of Duke 3D's Going After the Fat Commander, but that's barely a scratch on the surface. Some of this would be the expected casualties of the development process, but imagine the number of projects he's worked on, including the ones we don't even know about, and yet he's still done so much for them all. Of the 47 effects he submitted, only 9 ended up in the final release, and even fewer of those were implemented in-game. A few months ago, Bobby posted on his blog the contents of an email he sent to 3D Realms back in 1995 during the game's development of a large group sound submission for the two concluding bosses. Just as a small example of something we do have a little insight into, he also mentioned elsewhere in the interview ( 7:15) that he created between 2,000 and 3,000 sound effects for Duke Nukem 3D, and only over a hundred of those ultimately went used. He says in the interview that some of his favorite tracks have never reached the public, and he mentioned he's even produced music for other composers that's gone completely uncredited. The direct covers seem to fall under the "that's what he was told to make" umbrella, but from examining his other creations in general, it's clear that Bobby has produced an immense body of work that has never been (and will likely never be) heard outside of the very few involved in the associated game productions. Except for that rocket scientist guy.Īccording to the naming scheme, it would appear he made, like, 52 songs with a "un" prefix. So why did Bobby Prince make literally dozens of tracks that he didn't want anyone to use?

However, perhaps nobody did nothing wrong as, 25 years later, id is still a free man and lawsuit-free. So in conclusion, despite the scathing condemnation from meanie heads, Bobby did nobody wrong.
In short, he thought they would get sued. Prince says he didn't intend for id to have these particular tracks, but they got them somehow, and that he had no say in how they used them, which they did indeed end up using. You may recall this "un" prefix from the unreleased midi tracks that Romero released some time ago. At 13:07, he mentions the tracks he made which were straight covers were named "un" for "use not", assuming that id would not use those tracks.
Perhaps more interestingly, though, is that he talks about the legal issues of tracks that have clear inspirations. So there goes another mystery for the ages. In summary, it wasn't inspired by any familiar source as it was actually written before he listened to any of the heavy metal CDs famously given to him by Romero. Of note is that he addresses one of the soundtrack's most hotly debated debates: the inspiration for E1M1's track, At Doom's Gate.
