Long time no see!

~ donluca

Hi everyone,

I’m writing to tell I’m alive and well, although work has been hogging all my free time. I barely have time to even see my friends during the weekends!

I have small free time frames between one task and another and I’m thinking I might record single tracks during these, albeit I’m not sure how this is going to turn out.

I’ll try recording new tracks from time to time and release them when I have an entire game covered.

Stay tuned and thanks for your patience!

[REMASTER] Sonic the Hedgehog

~ donluca

It couldn’t have been otherwise, could it?

One of the most iconic games in the SEGA library had to be Remastered first, and so here we are!

A couple of notes on Remasters:

  • They will use the same page as the original release. There’s no point in having two separate pages.
  • Youtube videos will not get updated. They would not get anything out of the remasters since the youtube conversion cripples the audio quality.
  • IF the original files are still available you’ll be able to download them. If they have been taken down, there’s no point in uploading them again. Will not waste bandwidth and time on it – besides, you can still get them via torrent.
  • There are more tracks! Yep, the policy on jingles and stuff have changed a lot during those 2 years, so the Remasters will reflect the new choices.
  • The release page is better organized – this will happen to all the release pages that will get the Remaster treatment.

Next Remasters on the list are the other Sonic games.
So next one’s gonna be Sonic 2, then Sonic 3, etc…

That’s pretty much it!
As always, click on the cover to go to the download page and get our first Remaster!

Happy listening!

 

Two new shiny releases are ready!

Actually, one of them is our first Remaster and the other is a completely new one!

I’m waiting for Truepack to give me the new covers and then I’ll be sending the releases to Haggar so he can upload them and make torrents.

By the way… did I tell you that the Remasters will have a slightly altered label? ;-)

Stay tuned and thanks for your outstanding patience :-)

New job and sad news :(

~ donluca

Hi everyone,

it’s that time of the year again and those of you that have been following us during the last year already know that I usually make some kind of announcement at this time.

Well, this year it’s kind of a happy and sad announcement as I got a new job as Chief Editor in an organization which aims at officially representing eSports in Italy, which means that my scarce free time is gonna get even more scarce as I’ll have to split my time between concluding my studies at university and bearing the huge responsibility of managing a crucial aspect of our organization.

I know lot of you guys have been waiting hoping to see a new release this week but I’ve been studying and working all the damn day, from 8 a.m. straight to 3 a.m. in the night and I’m incredibly tired.
Making a release takes a lot of time (recording and QC take up to 8 hours depending on the soundtrack’s length, sometimes even more!) and I’m not sure how I’m gonna do this.

I’ll try taking advantage of the festivities to get some new release out because I know that when holidays end I won’t have any time left. I hope to record a new one on the 26 or 27th of December and hopefully they’ll be out a couple of days after.

That’s pretty much it for now.
I just want to say that it’s been a great year as we’ve reached what I think is the pinnacle of recording quality thanks to a new source and improved recording tools and software and nothing on the internet comes even close to both the accuracy and quality of our releases and that’s incredible, to say the least.

I really hope I’ll figure how to find time to record (and remaster!) other soundtracks so you guys can keep enjoying your favorite music.

This said, I want to wish all of you a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year full of joy and happiness.
