I don't understand my fascination with Sonic 3&K music.
Well, Genesis Does What Nintendon't
@@FrijolesyQueso yup you nailed it. I had no idea how much i loved the bass in this soundtrack.
Well Genesis benesis what nintenesis
FrameRater Lol didn’t expect to see you here
Me either
Really makes you appreciate how incredible this song is
Yep
3:30 it switched ears (the drums)
I don’t really like it (shocking I know) but I like most other sonic music
Hey look it’s the Xenoblade VGM guy
I like how all of these oscilloscope vids have the best comment section just full of people who love the songs and point out their favourite parts, makes me happy to be a sonic fan
Fr, fuck the "Sonic fandom is full of weirdos" there's a lot of supportive and cool people here too♡
@@alieneko_nyo i wouldn’t consider myself a sonic fan I just think the people in these specific videos are ppl who just like the music and have a weird tick to see it deconstructed
AYE AYE!!!! LET US ALL ENJOY TOGETHER!! CHEERS ME FRIENDS!! HAHA!

7:06 Who Knew Channel 2 Could Make Such A Difference
Channel 2 Gives An Echo To Channel 0 which really adds to the stage you’re playing in
yea, really loved, made me feel like I was in the huge halls the background shows
@@brunor.1127 makes sense considering hydrocity's architecture
In the S3 Prototype, the one without the delay is how its sounds
Just Channel 0 on its own makes it sound more modern and like how it would probably sound today, but the echo effect from Channel 2 really gives it that 16-bit feel.
Fun fact: the protoype version of hydrocity act 2 doesn't have an echo which results in a lackluster version of the song. So glad they added it
1:51 They definitely made this echo suitable since Hydrocity is basically a really opened place.
True, and I really like the "dripping" effect that the notes have when they end, really adds to the water theme of the stage
thats called a glissando@@Raid_NRogers
@@gooolixx i think they are referring to the way it sounds during the glissando. like the “twang” type effect the notes have
Just gotta talk about 3:28, the bassline and drum work on this song is fucking SUBLIME and it always makes me sad how many remixes (official ones included) really give little emphasis or showcase to it because it's nothing short of funky and fresh as hell.
Ur right!
i think this is purely MJ idea
Not really, MJ tracks are more minimalist in what they change. The fact that Angel Island, Hydrocity, and Marble Garden aren't changed in remakes proves SEGA composed all of those tracks.
That said I hope we get more bass and drum mixes soon.
@@Ghawblin you have a point, but the fact that most of the directly MJ inspired zones do get changed (only in Sonic 3 because his team didn't do any S&K work) is a bit of my own guess as to why. Regardless of the composer, it's partly why S3&K in general rarely get remade or remastered, the music stuff I mean.
Most of bass and drums tracks of S3&K are insanely well written and propel the groove like anything else I know. The geniuses behind this marvel were visionaries. All my childhood + years of bass playing in a nutshell within these few minutes of SPC madness
When the DAC HITS 👌🏽
mhmm fricking master class sound, heres the timestamp if anyone wants it: 3:28
Edit: theres an earlier introduction of the DAC, i just put this one because this is (IMO) when the DAC FUCKIN HITS
DAC does insane wave shit and that shit hits
DAC hits harder than a meteorite
It's crazy how much the duplicate of channel 0 slightly delayed on channel 2 to give it the echo effect makes a difference. Completely blows the entire track wide and opens it up.
Really makes the melody stand out. Seems like it's a common technique in classic Sonic music.
The prototype version doesn’t have that delay, which makes it sound dry
Yes! This effect is awsome.
It gives a feeling of fullness and makes the music look more complete. You can check this effect in Streets of Rage's musics too.
The detail that I just noticed is to help with that echo sound Channel 0 is juuuuuust a smidge louder than Channel 2 which is perfect for the effect. Channel 0 effectively makes the sound, Channel 2 is the tail end of the echo
@@CeruleanChurch Yes, the delay between channels and the fact that the delayed channel has a smaller volume generates this incredible effect. Now, as the guys realized this I don't know lol. But that's awesome, it is.
The 4:07 part of this song ALWAYS get me hype, so many great memories
In the prototype version of this theme, channel 0's leads from 1:53 to 2:37 didn't really have a hearable delay channel. Instead, channel 0 and channel 2 were utilized to make the lead instruments sound stereo. It surely was a much-needed change to use echo as it fits the wet and wide environment of the level!
yeah channel 2 support channel 0 to make it feels more realistic
oh it's you, love ur content
2 echoing makes the part where 0 starts taking slight pauses sound so incredible
i can kinda here it but it just without any other channels and psgs playing it kinda hearable channel delay
Sex is cool and all, but it's not as cool as Hydro City Zone Act 2 Oscilloscope Deconstructed 1:52-2:37
That's one good way to put it
So just the main tune?
WHAT.
Sax lmao
bro misspelled "sax"
Damn. Just... damn, Sonic composers were totally on fire. Your videos on dissecting these tracks are really educational man, thanks.
It was MJ that’s why. You can hear the funk
@@SergioHernandez-zv5wc MJ didn't do this one in particular but yeah this song is incredible
@@SergioHernandez-zv5wc mj didn't make this one lmao
Sega almost always made sure to hire some bomb ass composers for the sonic soundtracks, and it shows.
0:51 That's the same bass guitar from Angel Island.
Hello
@@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa6173 xd
Giratina Renegade 👋
Maybe that was show that these places are connected. Probably just a stretch
sennryuu yes
I love how Channel 0 and Channel 2 roll their "R's" to simulate echoing water
3:28 start 1 6:07 start 2 7:00 start 3
I like 3:37 when the DAC and Channel 1 just harmonize. The PSG actually brings it all together imo. Very good track.
This is up there in the best video game songs ever created right?
It sure is
I prefer the first act.
Sharinnegan Yeah, but your opinion is factually, objectively, scientifically proven to be *WRONG*
what even is my username at this point? ^
@@peanutbutterrocket dont worry its PeanutButterRocket. your welcome mate.
PSG0 and PSG1 seem to be saying "Is there an echo in here?" after the echoing melody of channel 0 and 2 in the beginning of the track like sassy backup singers. Pretty neat!
thats so cool lmao
Wow. I have a new appreciation for Mega Drive basses and DACs because they sound amazing and really lift the song.
Hydrocity is simply the Best Aquatic Stage in the history of Video Games
This.
I don't know about in the history of video games but it is the best water zone in the Classic Sonic games
@@millenniumlaggus5176the history of gaming
2:06 Absolute Perfection
Sonic 3 / Sonic 3 and Knuckles are top notch when it comes to squeezing the max out of the Mega Drive‘s sound hardware. This track is so full and rich in different sounds. An absolute masterclass teaching the proper usage of FM-synthesis.
Channel 0 carries the song, the PSG echo is just sublime. One of my all time favourite track from any Sonic game 👍.
This song is so well constructed, I love how the attention keeps shifting between the instruments. It’s a constant back and forth and all the instruments get equal say. Nice trick btw to fake an echo
Can we all just say that Hydrocity Zone is like Labyrinth Zone but Labytinth Zone was in a hurry. Because Hydrocity is a bloody fast level.
Hydrocity Zone is Labyrinth Zone but Good.
Hydrocity is not labyrinth you cannot even compare those two
Hydrocity is what aquatic ruin tried to be but failed
Labyrinth Zone but awesome
@@deserted4ever Hydradrocity hater much
Yes that was a reference
This is literally one of the reasons why I'm in love with the sound tracks of Sonic 3 and Knuckles. Deconstructions give you a hint of what the instruments sound like behind the scenes.
4:57 is amazing id be down for that having it own seperate song
Same tbh
Act 3 remix!
Channel 1 and the DAC on this one sounds like it could stand on its own. This track is so deep lol
Just as deep as the ocean in hydrocity zone can go
@@menacingthinker4322 flippin' amazing comparison
All the dislikes are from people who couldn’t make it past the moving wall section at the beginning of the level
This track is an example of how strange and annoying sounds can create a wonderful melody!
@Juguertox whatever sound that destroys your ears like a
like the whistle of a harmonica
@Juguertox mkii
bro that's just FM synth.
annoying? which one(s)?
@@jonathanodude6660 thank you about reminding me about my comment. Sadly I am no longer interested in sonic that much
Channel 0 and 2 together echoing like that is fucking incredible
It's always interesting to watch these because it really shows you how complex the songs can really be. Like even something as simple as the PSG3 channel hi-hats really bring the drums together and pushes the song that extra mile
1:00 me trying to explain to my mom why I can't pause online games
The way they intelligently used the PSO's for the simple percussion is just pure SEGA. Using every inch of the hardware!
Channel 0 man is so sick 😭definitely one of my favorite zones on Sonic 3 . I gotta see Diamond Dust Zone from 3D Blast as well
Channel 0 is epic but it wouldn't stand out as much if channel 2 wasn't adding a delay.
I appreciate you for acknowledging Diamond Dust Zone lmao. Act 2 definitely hits different.
1:13 when you fell from your bed
LOL
I feel like I should get this but I don't
@@squid_cake the high pitched part kind of looks like a scream
LOL
“This is me falling down the stairrrrrrrrs”
listening to the main melodies isolated from everything else is like listening to the vocals of a song isolated from the instrumental
These remind me of live concerts where they start off slow, with only portions of the main song, and it builds up to JAM OUT.
Individually they are very harsh but work together so well. Funny they use the PSG as a noise channel here at 3:08.
this is actually super useful for transcribing and figuring out what goes where
Holy shit, you did my favorite 16 bit track of all time, thank you so much!
This song is like clockwork. None of these channels sound very good on their own, but when you put them together it sounds amazing.
This song would not feel out of place if blasted through speakers at some Waterpark.
The real old school sonic fans knows that this is one of the best tracks to come from the franchise, hence the view count. Thank you so much! 💯
I think best in the franchise is a bit of an exaggeration, have you heard the Titan themes from Sonic Frontiers?
@@millenniumlaggus5176 you're replying to a comment made months before the game release.
@@millenniumlaggus5176
"they act like two legends cannot coexist"
- some rando
the fucking rolling drums at the start of the song are soooooo goooooood
4:28 - this actually sounds really cool and then from 4:45 it sounds like a cool track just in its own right
Didn't realize just how close the bass of Act 2 is to Act 1.
Tails 64 I mean, the main reason why it’s so close is because it still follows the same key progression, which is what the bass controls. The overall composition of the song is much different though
Well, the Act 2 bass (I don't think) in Act 1 is a melodic part rather than bass, the parts switch roles in each act
The one person who disliked probably got suffocated at the beginning of the level
Its 2 people now
Oosht Music Now it’s 3 :/
Now 4
Now it's 5
ファズバニーくんFazbunny Kun someone took back their dislike lmao

Not really. Its too similar to be an act 3

Absolutely love just going through these one by one and reminiscing and enjoying every little detail of broken down sound that blend together to create each individual masterpiece. I love it.
Me encanta el trabajo que realizas , me saco el sombrero por cada soundtrack de Sonic. Saludos desde Argentina
This is the first one if these I've seen where so much of what's going on sounds totally alien played alone. Like that little melody on channels 3 and 4, I've never even heard that before. And the DAC sounds completely nuts in isolation.
0:22
those chords always get me in the mania version.
This should be the hymn of the entire earth
There's some layers I don't think I noticed before but it makes u realize why the track is all the more kickass.

The PSG stuff was always my fav part of the song and hearing it isolated like that... jeez its so simplistic.
I just love how it all comes together to form the beauty that we know and love.
3:28 kinda sounds like a bad future hydrocity
Great, now I can’t unhear it. But it does seem like a good concept. Time to get Yuzoboy!
I gotta say, the echoing of the melody lines really make this soundtrack for me. They make the sound more organic, and add that little bit of snap or punch to the note, more reminiscent of an actual physical instrument being played. Such an important layer to everything
Oh yes, I've been waiting for this one!
I don't think I've commented on any of your videos yet but I really appreciate you going through all these videos you've already done to make oscilloscope versions. There's just something so satisfying about seeing that final moment where all boxes are active. Also I appreciate your dedication to so often starting off the slow climb to completion by slapping us in the face with the drums and bass.
i love how channel 0 makes its own kind of snare or drum as a side effect and how channel 2 is just an echo of channel 0, really makes your appreciate the pure talent behind harnessing the short comings of the sound chip to make it work better.

4:44 sounds cool
Seriously, every bass-line
When a Sonic song is so complex, it takes nearly nine minutes and seven cycles through its one-minute long main loop to show how each component channel contributes to its melody.
1:13 I’ve always loved this specific part of the music, it just makes the act feel that much special
Good thing I found this channel, cause I learned so much about sonic musics! :D
0:51 my favorite part
I started with the Alex yard videos and saw these videos referenced. I thought this was an order of magnitude more nerdy than I anticipated enjoying but boy was I wrong. That arpeggio run 3/4 way through the track on the bottom left and center sections is the MVP. This is the promised land
Simplemente , gracias por enseñarnos el hermoso trabajo hacer Sonic 🥰
Te gusta mucho esta cancion ¿no?
One of the 🔥hottest🔥 grooves in any video game track ever. It’s so cool to hear the countermelodies and bass on their own!
Well, looks like im early, sorry, and your magic on this thing is just stellar 😁, always liked these vids ever since summer 2018
I don’t really know what’s going on but it’s mesmerizing
4:59 eu amo o som que o Channel 3 e 4 fazem nessa parte.
Man I Love This its just the creativity so nice to listen to this brings back memories and it is amazing how it all was made as a muscian this to my ears and eyes is just nice the game has been part of my childhood and still till this day I hum these melodies
4:21 sounds like a Sonic 2 song. But the melody from channels 0 and 2 really give it that Sonic 3 flare.
Just the isolated tracks send shivers
We really got spoiled with genesis soundtracks. So many banger tracks.
I just love how RUclips gives me new Mixes of these videos for me to watch every day. Makes me happy to be a part of this platform.
Everyone is saying how amazing this song is (and it is) but I can't help but wonder if they are using all the sound chip channels the system has and I'm thinking which one do they use for sound effects (like Sonic jumping, Tails flying, item/badnik breaking, etc)
Your ps4 when is playing an intense game and it's a little Dusty 2:07
This is such an underrated OST, I love it.
Dang that bassline is *funky*
It's a bop even without channel 0 and 2 involved. But a bop masterpiece with it all involved.
Keep up the great work ! I would love to see you deconstruct panic puppet act 2 from sonic 3D blast ^^
Mega Drive's sound chip capabilities are just incredible for a console from 1990. Given it's a chip so similar to that of the yamaha synthesizers and products of the time that's capable of sound that you could later hear in games from the ps1 and others that used cd audio with themes recorded with professional synths. I wonder then why so many third party mega drive games just didn't get sound this good and clean and instead the chainsaw-like metallic synths were so prominent on mega drive games. I can only assume that it has to do with sound programming so most people outside of sega didn't knew that well how to work with and program with this chip
This is going to help me make a lot of YTPMVS.
I think that this is my favorite song from sonic 3 alone now. Each individual track compliments each other in such a great style!
Sonic&Knucles will always be Sonic 4 to me plus connected to 3 as an Add-on/Expansion DLC for Full Experience!
awesome song, awesome breakdown
That drum track is putting in WORK
I may be only one who likes PSG 0 and PSG 1.
Especially that little jingle they are doing in 3:17 here's with all instruments ---> 8:30
I know its hard to hear here but in the piano covers it's more hearable and more satisfying.
Ditto
The PSGs complete the music
Nothing beats hearing the part at 7:19-7:51
Sonic 3&k is the best game of the classic trilogy! PROOF: it was the first game to have tails's fly, knuckles gameplay and differents pathes to go, also the first and only game who have the Sonic's Insta-Shield (Sonic Mania and Fan-Games not included). It have the best soundtrack EVER and come with a new technology; the LOCK-ON!!! (If you dont know, the Sonic & Knuckles cardridge was different from de others and it was able to put another cardridge upside of it! Sonic 3+Sonic & Knuckles= Sonic 3&k. Sonic 2+Sonic & Knuckles= Knuckles in Sonic 2 and Sonic 1+ Sonic & Knuckles= Blue sphere mini-game(because they failed on putting knuckles in sonic 1)). It have the best final stage too(which you need all the emeralds to acess). And thats it. That is why its the best game of The Classic Trilogy. :D
you didn’t need proof anyone who played the game knows its a fact
