Thanks for the comparisons. I like SBPro2 the best at least in Descent.

I've done a channel on youtube; now there are really few tracks, btw, i',m not using vintage hardware, but I'm using external synth such as Roland SD-50, MT-32, JV-2080, and Yamaha Mu2000.
Just Today I've figured out how to abandone Lightworks, and use ffmpeg with dos batch directly, so I think upload unitl today could suffer of an "extra" audio compression. Now thanks to batch processing I think I'll be able to upload more soundtrack. If there is something you would like to compare with Roland Stuff (for example a midi recorded with SD-50 instead of older sound canvas for example) just let me know.
I thinmk I'm going to setup a vintage pentium with OPL3 ISA soundcard too, but this will take a few.
