  • - - READ BELOW - - The third of my "Final Crash" Streets of Rage soundtracks is now LIVE! While the overall mixing, EQing and mastering was straightforward, there were nonetheless some balancing issues to tackle, as well as lots of errors on the original videos that I wanted to fix this time 'round. This approach to perfection takes time, and doubtless I'll find some stuff I missed as time goes by, but I'm happy knowing that over the two-dozen times (maybe more) that I listened to this soundtrack over the past few weeks, I'm all smiles. This project has been a decade in the making, and I dedicate the final output to Yuzo Koshiro and Motohiro Kawashima, who have influenced me in ways I can't express.

    Hello fans! As before, please 🔎READ THE DESCRIPTION🔍 for some important info on the FINAL CRASH edition of this soundtrack, where you can get it, and what went into it. I'll be uploading a new video over the weekend to discuss the project, a return to SONIC THE HEDGEHOG, some new directions for the channel, and some potentially huge news!

    SOR3 is so underrated. I've always felt like it's a true sequel because of the advances it makes in the franchise. SOR2 can be a bit too similar to SOR1 in certain areas, which is why it draws an unfair comparison to SOR3. Each game has its own personality, and I think every SOR fan should experience the whole trilogy to get an insight into what that is, and that will help them determine would they would think of SOR4.

    • @waverazor
      @waverazor 7 місяців тому +1

      Sor1 is such a barebones beat em up. Where as sor2 is more of a complete package in terms of gameplay. Sor2 has a lot more combo options. Than 1. I like both 3 2 and 4 though.
      3 has to be played on either the Japanese version or the translated jpn ver. Sor3-NA is way too unfair

    • @MaestroDraven
      @MaestroDraven  7 місяців тому +10

      Absolutely spot-on. SOR1 was very much an ode to House music, while SOR2 dabbled heavily in Breakbeat and the first emergence of Big Beat. SOR3, by contrast, went hardcore Acid Techno, a bit of Goa, and little sprinkles of traditional club dance. The fact that SOR3 is such an acquired taste reminds me a lot of death metal, which took me a few years to really appreciate. You have to dig through the layers to appreciate what it's bringing to the table.

    SOR3 was so massively under appreciated. Sprite work was upgraded, they have more shading and more detail. The gameplay evolved - faster paced, star attacks, rechargeable specials, special weapon attacks, environmental hazards added much more variety than previous SOR's. Larger stages, secrets, grittier and grown up themes in the story and the music was experimental but it was very much a reflection of the new direction of the game. Sega could have just rehashed SOR2 (like Golden Axe 1 - 2) but they revamped literally everything. Just a stellar sequel that SOR2 normies never appreciated.

    This is perfection and mastery. Not only are you re-generating the genesis chip sounds but you have brought them to life with perfect mixing/mastering and balancing, making instruments basically come alive. The music is crisper, sharper and higher definition than the originals. Not only that, but your interpretation and original composition along with the parts that are restructured and remixed is in perfect cohesion. Its not overbearing, it fits and merges right into the original composition like it was always meant to be there. Not only captures but expands upon the same energy and flow of the original music.
    bravo sir!

      Thanks very much! That was always a concern of mine. If I went too far away from the source material, it might defeat the purpose, but at the same time, I couldn't play it safe, either. For each song, it was all about "what makes sense here?" That's how I started out. I wanted it to feel as natural as possible.

      I really appreciate that Barmastarf. Believe me, I've thought the same. I wanted to be very faithful to the original compositions without getting out past my skis. That meant I had to think logically and put myself in the shoes of Koshiro and Kawashima. Faithfulness to the style of the original songs is always key for me, even if I sometimes go way out there, like I did with "Underground." I appreciate the support! 👍

      I really appreciate the support, Dubz! Thanks a lot. I had originally intended to create the soundtrack for Streets of Rage Remake, but the project was so far along at that point that it was more of an afterthought. When F-Games approached me to do SOR-X, it felt much more natural to me, and I was happy to partner up. That being said, I do have plans to trim the tracks up (now that they're done), and make an appropriate replacement soundtrack for SORR.

    One thing I was wondering, since I think you've mentioned you won't be doing SOR4, is it that you don't like the soundtrack? Or do you want to stick to the Genesis/early console generations?
    I adore the direction SOR4's OST took, but get that expanding it would be a totally different task from expanding 16-bit music so I'm more curious than anything.

    • @MaestroDraven
      @MaestroDraven  7 місяців тому +3

      Hey there. I don't think I'd necessarily stay away from SOR4, but I wouldn't expand on what's already there. Early chiptune music was limited by the time frame, so I have something to work with, whereas new music is pretty fleshed out these days. What I MIGHT do is "Genesize" the SOR4 soundtrack sometime. I'm just trying to think of the best way to approach it. We'll see.
