    I like how seperate parts sound awkward on their own but together create a beautiful harmony giving you thaat sense that these plains are free and aren't corrupted and it really sets the tone with a first level feel. Just intriguing people into going, what's going to happen next and does it's job perfectly. Then it throws you into a Chemical Plant.

      In both Sonic 1 and 2, Nakamura gave the first stage music that is predominantly happy-go-lucky with just the right amount of ominous foreboding (the bridge of Green Hill Zone and the creepy background pads in Emerald Hill). Then later stages are the reverse: predominantly evil-sounding with just a little bit of happy

    I say this on pretty much all of these videos but 2:49 is just stellar. It's also worth noting that this is one of the few tracks with bass as channel 0 instead of channel 2, so they probably knew just how important it is here.

    • @lethalbacon3

      Actually it had 2 sound chips. That's why you have 16-bit channels and 8-bit ones. The 8-bit one came from the Master System, and they just decided that the Genesis needed some 8-bit sounds too.

    This song has a mixed mood. Bass and DAC sound so happy and enthusiastic. The PSGs sound so melancholic and depressive. The synth brass section compromises. It's not very happy but not sad either - has some energy though. In the end the song sounds very rich, very well crafted. I believe it was composed to break the expectations from previous game and say "this is a new game, this first stage looks somewhat tied to the previous game but the familiarities end here, expect everything to be different and improved from now on"

    • @rfmerrill

  • @neilmclean1527
    @neilmclean1527 4 года назад +17

    With how busy the sound chip channels are with the music in this game, is that why Sonic has a PSG jumping sound? The thinking being that one PSG channel changing to something else for a short time wouldn’t be as noticeable. That would explain the different jump sound in Sonic CD as the music in that game is read off the disc so all channels are available.
    Does anybody know what channels are used for ring collection and enemy/TV hit sound effects? I read that all music instruments and sound effects are given a priority order so low priority sounds drop off when the chip gets too busy.

    • @RWL2012
      @RWL2012 3 года назад +2

      Not sure why they made that decision, but actually in Sonic CD not all of the music is CD audio - the "past" tracks are on the Sega/Mega CD's 8-channel PCM sound chip and there are actually deconstructions of them on this channel. They use 7 of those 8 channels, with the remaining channel doing the sound effects (even the ones that were originally done on the stock Genesis/Mega Drive's FM chip) and the audio of the FMVs.
