Gate of Thunder - Remastered by Electrohaze
« on: September 08, 2016, 05:32:53 AM »
Greetings turbo fans,

You may, or may have not heard...  :-k
I decided to remaster all the CD Audio in Gate of Thunder.  :dance:
I know someone did release an iso with boosted audio levels a while back...  :-k
But I decided I wanted to really go into those tracks and work on them, bring them back to life.  ](*,)
Anyway, I finished it.  :D



You can learn more about the project, and download it here:

Enjoy!

Wow this looks amazing.  Can't wait to throw it in my DUO hooked up to my stereo system.  Thank you.

I just downloaded it and it seems all the sound files are in FLAC.  I assume I have to convert to Wav before burning.  What do you think?

I am also gonna check this out with Nightwolve's Turbo Rip to see if it has the proper TOC info.

Read the "readme" file inside the archive...  :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

To quickly explain:

Use ImgBurn: http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download
If fail, install codec pack: http://codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

ImageBurn will convert to wave before burning if the codec is installed....
(I just added these directions to the site too)

This is how I burned my copy!

Enjoy!

Glad you approve sir. I was sorta working on the Ys Special Edition project, featuring remixes and such. But It was a little too ambitious of a project at the time. Hopefully I will be getting some more remasters like this done soon and return to remixes when my new laptop arrives. :)

Thanks for doing this it looks really cool. I just recently got a lil 2 channel amp that I use when I play old CD games like Turbo and Sega CD and it sounds amazing.

 I will have to try this out this weekend and let you know what I think.  Gate of Thunder is one of my favorite games so I will notice the change right away.

Just booted it up here - sounds good! I guess you pretty much brought the levels up on everything that was quiet? It sounds like everything is roughly leveled the same, now.

Wow.  It really sounds great.  Thank you for the remix and thanks for that cool program that converts FLAC to WAV right in ImgBurn.

More or less, yes that's what I did. But, unfortunately it's not as simple as just applying a normalize filter...
On some tracks I actually went in and applied EQ's to different parts of the song.
Lots of adjustments per song to try to get the sound I felt was correct....

Anyways, glad you guys like it!  Working on another game now! Guess which one. :)

I've been playing the remastered Download 2, it sounds awesome!

Thanks for doing this, I've had the music from this game stuck in my head for awhile so I've been meaning to play it again :)

Glad you are enjoying it!  I just played and cleared the remastered version myself.  :mrgreen: :clap: :dance:

That was a hard one to do, I really wanted do more to those tracks, the source material made things a bit limited....   ](*,)

I was in the mood play Lords of Thunder last night, and although it's CDA isn't super bad like Download 2, it could use some remastering...   :-k
