Lava theme from DKC2 in pristine studio quality. This was made possible by locating the sounds from workstation keyboards and drum machines such as the Korg Wavestation, Roland S770, and Roland R8, and plugging them into the music instruction data ripped from the game, plus a little mixing magic to create might have sounded like with the veil of 16bit compression lifted. Part of a project to restore the entire DKC series soundtrack. Follow me on Twitter for more updates: / princesamlet

those croc-heads really only sounded 'satisfying' with the extra "cave-level Reverb" that the game added on for them...you may find a Bonus Game that has the heads, but Not the reverb...it makes the "boOWAAACK!" sound like just "bwat!"

@FLYNN_TAGGART 4 жыл бұрын

FWIW, I believe Wise said he never had masters, he just compressed the samples first and worked from there. Even he never heard these in as good of quality as what Sam has created.

@johneygd 4 жыл бұрын

Sadly those samples had to be reduced to single cycle wave forms wich then gets copy pasted & looped to simulate the effect of a long instrument,,,but not only that,, those samples were also reduced to 4bit adpcm ,wich the snes then has to try to fill in the missing data by following those corrosponding points of data in it,sometimes those single cycle wave forms were even faster recorded to save futher more space, the snes then has to stretch it back to it’s original speed, resulting in harsch audio☹️, so with these restored versions of snes game songs, we will discover what we have missed all the time😀

Love the synths, really poignant in this restoration. David Wise's original uses a lot of stereo mixing with different samples to give them more of an echo chamber and create distance, also as you restore samples and make them clearer, the loudness starts to battle it out making it loose some sleek blending and charm. Please, hear me out, I say this not to slate your work, but, more that it reminded me of the appreciation behind understanding music in this way and what makes the music in Donkey Kong country so special to any other video game. Thank you for making this =]
