Ever wish that a game's soundtrack/BGM was louder?

Damn! I missed a lot of neat things, such as this thread!

I fully support this "project"

I always wondered why strong songs/soundtracks were intentionally  and deliberately eviscerated in the final product (the game experience). I'm not saying the soundtrack has to dominate the experience...

UNRELATED QUESTION: Can you minimize the "hiss" present (left channel) in the first stage music in Valis II? The hiss is found on both JP and NA versions (back in the day, I hoped it was just a mastering error in the NA release...)

I'm not sure if the hiss is in both L and R, but it certainly is dominant in the left channel. For the entire track.

Thanks! Glad you like it. Yeah, something like Rayxanber III desperately needed this because of the sound effects.

I'll look into that Valis II thing but I can't promise anything. I can barely tell it's even there and I thought my OCD on these things was bad, haha.

Oh, I also did Cotton and all my stuff is uploaded to epforums now.

^ Yeah, I have bad OCD.

Especially with noises/sounds.

RANDOM: Someone (from central or South America?...like Brazil?) recorded a piano-only arrangement years ago...I used to have the file but it was lost in a harddrive fire years ago.

Anyway, I wish I still had it.

I actually restored an ancient zip disc drive years ago to see if the song was on one of my old backup discs...I couldn't find it.

Those external zip drives were complete garbage, btw.

Hey guys I've uploaded some more games with the music amplified. I'm not using Isozone anymore; you can find my uploads on EPforums.

The games are:

Faussete Amour
Sapphire with the Lords of Thunder OST
Sapphire with the Gate of Thunder OST

Spriggan, Nexzr, and Hyper Duel (Sega Saturn) -- These versions are much better now than my first attempts were. Redone and more balanced.

Also, Galaxy Fight (Sega Saturn) ... Just discovered this awesome game!
