The greatest all-time classic soundtrack is released!

Dear fellows, I’m both honored and pleased to announce that the original Sonic The Hedgehog soundtrack is out!!!
With this we almost have completed the Sonic Saga, with only Sonic Spinball out.

Unluckily, due to this game not having a proper Sound Test mode, we will have to postpone its release because as of now we don’t have the means to properly rip it and assure the maximum quality that you guys would expect from one of our releases, but we’re working real hard on it, trust me: we’re getting all the equipment necessary which is rather costly and is coming from the opposite side of the world and thus it will take almost a month for us to get it and set it up, maybe more, no guarantees on it.

Despite this, we will not just stay here doing nothing, we will be releasing other games’ soundtrack meanwhile, although we will have to put all the requests in standby as we are acquiring the new stuff to do proper rips of all those games that don’t have a Sound Test mode.

The “hard way” described in The Equipment page resulted in a lot of effort and a great failure for us all as it is not a viable, efficient way of ripping music, so we are working towards a new, better way.

Anyway, I’d like to thank you all for following us and I hope that in the future, when we will have things going at full rate, your patience will be rewarded. We are getting lots of downloads and youtube views but still the forums are empty and I would be really, really happy if someone registered just to say “Hi” or “Thank you for all the hard work” or even better give us some feedback.

Well, enough with that, head straight to our Media page and get this all-time classic!

Big things ahead!

Hi everyone, we have something really, really big in the works.

And no, it’s not a new release, but something that may change this project (in something better, of course) and make our work easier, make the releases come out faster at a steadier rate and, above all, further improve the quality of our releases.

This means that the releases will be postponed by some days but, believe me, the waiting will definitely be well worth. :]

Please be sure to bookmark our website, like our Facebook page or follow us on Twitter to always be informed on the latest developments!

Sonic The Hedgehog 3 Soundtrack released!

Another one out, two to go!

This soundtrack is mind blowing, I admit that I’ve never listened to the 2 Player zones’ music but now I’ve fallen in love with the Endless Mine tune.

You can check it out at our Media page, or listen to it in our Youtube channel as well!

As you can see, we are accelerating the process as much as possible, we are really near to the completion of the Sonic saga rips.
I’ll be talking about the project in lots of forums and communities so we can get ours and have some serious feedback. You’re more than welcome to do so too and help us spreading out the word!

As always, stay tuned! :]

A little update on the recording software

Sorry guys, if someone hoped that this post was about the new release I’m afraid to tell you this is not, though we will be putting it out in a few days.

One of the culprits of this little delay is that I’ve changed many things in the recording software, I’ve automatized more or less everything and I’m using better tools that give an even superior sound quality, especially on the CD and MP3 formats.

We are now proudly using SoX to resample our HD tracks to CD and ffmpeg with the latest LAME library to convert them to MP3.
From the next release you should be hearing little improvements on the aforementioned formats sound quality wise.

You can read more details about it and the Megascript in our Equipment page.

Anyway, don’t go anywhere, our next release will be out real soon!

What’s next?

Hi everyone, I’m writing a quick recap on the status of the project, what’s working, what’s not, what should be improved and how.

Let’s start with the releases: these are working great. People are downloading them, watching them on youtube and it seems that they gathered interest among the retrogaming community. Truth to be told, it seems that no one is interested in the CD quality format as everyone is just downloading the hi-res and MP3 ones. In the future I may consider removing this intermediate format and just go with hi-res and MP3 versions.

Next up is the social component of the project such as the twitter page, the facebook one and our channel on youtube.
Twitter has no visits and no one seems interested in it as it has only 3 followers (our staff members FYI) and if it doesn’t get some followers in the next 3 months, it will be shut down.
On the other hand, our Facebook page is going well although the activity is from italian users only and it seems that it has no visibility in the rest of the world.
The Youtube channel is going well but I wished it had more viewers and more subscribers although this may change in the near future.

Now, onto the (very) bad news: the community is simply non-existant, the forum is empty, there are no users and no one is registering. This makes me very sad because this project is going to be a community driven project and without a strong community we’re not going far. When partnership with other websites will start I hope people will come and join us. Until then, I’m afraid that the forums will be empty.

How are we addressing these issues?
As of now all our hopes reside in future partners.
We’re well indexed on Google but it seems that very few are reaching us from there as most visits are coming from the youtube channel.

Anyway, a new release will be out soon and it is something that all retrogaming fans will love, think about a game that we’re still carrying in our hearts. :]

Stay tuned!
