I don't get the fetish of using Sound samples from the original games, most of the time they suck upon conversation. A drum sample is a drum sample, taking it from a game won't change that.
It makes sense when they're doing a cover of the game itself- you wouldn't want to change all the samples, and Sonic 3 has a lot of unique-sounding ones.
That's only true for very obscure sound files(like voice files and what not). I'm pretty sure anything else they have in the game can be replicated through some other soruce.
Whops, I totally forgot about this!!! =P
I'll upload S&K title as soon as I can!
Edit: Allrightythen! S&K Title theme, done!
I wonder if I should use a custom patch for the leads, instead for the bass?
And seriously people, use a zip file or something else!
Looks like someone already did Sky Sanctuary (I don't have any problem with that). But I would like to do Hydrocity 1 as I said like a month ago...
And I'm also gonna try to improve the DPCM samples...

Yeah, the song's pretty good but there are some volume issues that you might want to take care of (the leads are too loud in my opinion). Other than this it's good.
[I rarely forgot about compressed files too, it's a great idea actually]

Are there any specific frames or do you mean that the leads are too loud everywhere?
I honestly don't have any issues with the volume, but I can definitely give it a second try if it's disturbing. Even though it's a short song, I still want people to enjoy it.

For instance, take the FM channels 5 and 6 and lower their volumes to something like 0xA or 0xB. It doesn't sound bad, it's that I have a stupid obsession with making everything hearable (and I always fail actually!).
It's enjoyable and it's very well done, by the way, but maybe leveling the volume values a little could be of help so everything can be heard. Of course, giving more power to specific channels doesn't hurt but it's hard to do so without drowning everything else (VRC7 makes it difficult due to how volume works so it's very hard to keep a good volume balance between all channels).
You did a good job though, I like how you covered the song.
Protip: Use Shift + Scroll Down to lower the volume on all the VRC7 channels by 1.
Yeah, I'm working on getting something ready...

In Angel Island Act 1, instrument #12 sounds so much more like the original. It's almost the same. Not gonna upload anything because it's such a simple fix, but I'd like to see that change, if it's okay with poodlecock.

I think you're talking about the beginning of the song, right?

Changes:
+ Finished Endless Mine with a surprise
+ Added Icecap 2
+ Fixed the medley (mostly)
+ Started work on Angel Island 2
+ Cleaned up S3 Credits
+ Sped up Mushroom Hill 2 (I know Shywolf asked not to change anything, but it's only a single change from 160 to 170 =P)

Ah, this thing... as much as I love some of the covers in this, I still really dislike that out of place noise snare, as well as the fact that as NSF, the songs are WAY TOO LOUD in some cases, completely drowning out the 2A03.
But yeah, this was a fun project, actually I'd love to see (and contribute to) a Sonic 2 version!
Yeah, after listening to a lot of these songs again, a few of these such as AIZ and FBZ are too loud. I might fix instrument 20; I will definitely fix 24 and rename 20 into something else =V
When I make a Sonic 2 FTM, I'll make the instrument order much more logical (0: Blank/DPCM, 1-15: VRC7 defaults, 16 onwards: anything else)

I'm currently working on my own projects right now so I won't contribute anything else to this soundtrack. It's nice to see it's really close to completion though! Thanks for letting me contribute.
I personally dislike the changes made to Lava Reef 1, since the stuff I put in the song was meant to give it a different sound, like the longer fadeouts in the first frames. I took some liberties with the song but the modified FTM sounds a bit closer, especially at the end. If you want to keep the modified version, then it's fine with me, it's just my opinion and I mean no disrespect towards anybody. :D
I look forward to see more progress!
[Hmmm... Sonic 2? I may cover some songs if the project gets started]
