Get a better audio cable and don't turn the volume up so high. The genesis is very prone to distortion from volume.

>>3029529

>>3029529
stop playing the shit ones. plenty of genesis games have amazing soundtracks. also if you don't have a specific model 1 then you're fucked

>>3029529

Difficult to compose for sound system with the standard set.
It needed work to compose something of higher quality but then it could sound amazing.
Work which many developers did not put into it.

The only Genesis game that makes that noise at the start is X-Men and that's your fault for playing that dookie game instead of the superior sequel.

i feel bad for people who were stuck with a genesis growing up desu

>all these faggots still fighting console wars 25 years later

Two main reasons:

1. American devs weren't that good with music composition and often just stuck to the default sound envelopes
2. The Genesis had a ridiculously huge amount of hardware revisions so that game music could sound markedly different depending on what model of console you had

>>3030730
Gennyfag here and I do agree that that one isn't that great.
The same guy did a stellar rendition of the Flame Mammoth theme though, so I don't know why he didn't post that

Listening to the original Mega Man X soundtrack again, however, I realise that it doesn't really sound as good as I remembered it.

>>3029529

It's good music though. And I bet they recorded it in optimal conditions, low noise, EQd, mastered on nice gear, etc.

I wouldn't buy it but I'm definitely curious.

sure genesis had some good tunes, but for the most part it sounds a lot worse than the snes

but it also had the banginest bangers

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb_TFrpU7GI

METALLLLLLLLLLL
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0qIVPZ_Cs4

I think the Genny's crunchy sound was better suited to the tough-guy games it was known for while the SNES's soft FM music fit its more cutesy pastel-colored library.

>>3029917
>farty noises and beeps
I personally think this version the soundtrack is fun, and the bass line on most tracks is very catchy and wasn't as "punchy" on the SNES.

>>3031058

>>3029978
I love the "Warsong/Langrisser" series more than I have any right to, and "Warsong" got me hooked on it all. The soundtrack to me was fantastic. I will never forget that music. So, so good.

>>3029529
>What is it with genesis games always having such shitty music?

BRUMM! BWONG BLONG! BRRRSSHHH!

The Yamaha chip is capable of a wide range of sounds but you get a lot of that standard genesis sound set simply because it was provided by Sega and developers can be lazy.

>>3029604

A good example is Tim Follin, who pretty much threw the standard set out the window and started from scratch on the Genesis.

>>3030664

>>3030029
Both are good.

Mega Drive music done right ie Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Sanic etc was great. A lot more bass and depth than tinny SNES music.

Seems mostly the Western made games that had the twangy fart music, even then stuff like Toejam & Earl or Road Rash had some nice music

>>3032265

>compression makes things sound deeper!

>>3032265
SNES uses very low quality samples. You can't deny that.

Most SNES "fans" have never actually heard what the console really sounds like.

The SNES music you hear from emulators or Youtube (which mostly consists of music captured from emulators) is just a "cleaned up" reproduction without the shitty filtering you get on the real thing.

>All these people posting unfiltered songs recorded from an emulator
This shit is why the Mega Drive sound chip has such a shitty reputation. The sound coming out of a real Mega Drive is much more pleasing to the ear due to the low-pass filters removing harsh, ear grating noise like what >>3032230 describes.
https://www.youtube.com/user/DUSTINODELLOFFICIAL
This guy uploads full soundtracks recorded from a real Genny. While TFIV will ruin your ears when you play on an emulator, it actually sounds much better when played on the real hardware, as in this video

So why haven't MD emulators figured out how to make their YM2612 sound as pretty as a model 1? We've got NTSC filters, why not have genesis music filtering?

Maybe the circuits are analog/complex in some way?

>>3032727
I wish there were emulators that gave an accurate representation of the genesis's sound. Let's dispel once and for all this fiction that the Genesis sounds bad. It doesn't sound bad if you know what you're doing.

>>3032732
>>3032727
Why is it so hard to emulate? I dunno, everything for the genesis is just fine on emulators yet there's the original soundchip.

>>3032727
It's analog, but not very complex. I figure it's just the emulator developers being either lazy or too inexperienced with audio.

>>3032782
That is to say, the filters are analog and not very complex (just capacitors). The YM2612 however has not been fully documented by the community IIRC and they haven't gotten any full official documentation on it. In spite of this, they've achieved a pretty damn good replication of the YM2612, but while ignoring the analog filters outside of the IC.

>>3032313
The tempo and melody of the TFIV score is great, but that hollow metallic ringing and scratchy noise is still there, it still cuts into my ears nonetheless.

I'm actually starting to wonder if people who grew up with a SNES instead of a Genesis and vice versa had their hearing develop differently or something, because I see both consoles having their sound described as tinny by the other side, and then that being denied and turned right back.

Like, would that be possible, that our sense of hearing isn't the same?

>>3032807
snesents have pussy ears. megalords and man ears. proven fact.

Actually, its been proven that male born people have a predisposition to liking harsh noise. I'm not saying women can't or don't but they are the biological exception to the rule. My cousin

>>3031543

>>3032809
Yeah, that doesn't at all sound like garbage /v/ rhetoric.

>>3032825
It's not even that I don't like harsh noise in music, I like Sodom and Alice In Chains and stuff, it's that when the Genesis tries to make guitar noises, it sounds WAY too sharp and the tune just lingers for too long, it's like, a guitar should NOT sound like that.
(though on the other hand, when the SNES tries to do guitars it doesn't even sound like any kind of guitar in ANY manner)

Say what you want about the harsh sounds of the leads, but the bass just makes you forget all about it.

I will say for certainty though that the guitar samples sound better on SNES, at least for the MegamanX games:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwapIr0wKdk

That does get me thinking though, has anyone thought to try to combine the 2 sounds? Genesis bass + SNES guitar?

We know. You told us already. Relax man. You don't need to get all autistic over this.

I own a model 1 Mega Drive so I know what it sounds like. I get your point, but I honestly don't think most Mega Drive music sounds that bad on some emulators. They might not be accurate representations of what it sounds like on a real Genny but they still sound good in my opinion. And even then, there are some official versions of the Mega Drive that have atrocious sound.

>-VA7: Sega changed the sound circuit for this motherboard, and let me tell you, it stinks. Bad. It sounds like an emulator's sound quality was set to the lowest possible setting; it's flat, muffled, distorted, and worst of all, there's an annoying hissing sound in the background (static). Unless you can mod your system with a new audio amp, do yourself a favor and stay clear of this revision.

I thought that SNES has better music than Megadrive but after listening to this thread I realize that SNES has "harsh" "dirty" samples where the Megadrive done properly is nice and smooth.
Could this music be done on original hardware or are there limitations like CPU time or number of channels?

SNES vs Genesis audio debate is as old as the consoles themselves. People will still be arguing it in the future.

Are there any PC Engine chiptunes that can rival the music in this thread?

I love the SNES and its games, but I actually think the Genesis is a superior console in a number of ways. Why?

> Cleaner audio output with an actual onboard synthesizer and not a primitive sampler chip

> Greater capacity for raster effects

> More onscreen sprites

> Faster CPU with a more mature, well-documented architecture

> Higher resolution output than the SNES in many games, with 320x224 instead of 256x224 in a lot of cases. The SNES could technically do 512x448, but this resolution was impractical in most cases since it was demanding on the hardware and outputted in interlaced mode on CRT TVs instead of progressive mode.

> Programmers were allowed to write their own sound drivers, instead of being forced to use one sound driver mandated by Nintendo. Again, the SNES sound chip could technically do better than it did, but the driver they forced everyone to use cut the SPC700's potential channels down to 8 from 32, and soaked everything in excessive amounts of reverb. Combined with the lossy sample compression they used, this gave the SNES a very warm, yet muddy sound.

I will concede however that the SNES sound chip was much easier to program, and that its inbuilt graphical effects, wider color palette, and excellent support for expansion chips made for some very pretty games at the time. I love both consoles, and I definitely think they have their own strengths, but it makes me shake my head when people insist that the Genesis was weaker or had bad audio quality. It wasn't weaker at all, it just took more effort to develop for, and western devs couldn't into FM synthesis like the Japanese could.

>>3052557
320x224 was basically the standard for Genesis games, it also could do 320x448 which is a kind of odd resolution, and has the same impractical use of the SNES, but they managed to run Sonic on it.

>but the driver they forced everyone to use cut the SPC700's potential channels down to 8 from 32

Please explain.

>>3052573
There's a demoscene production on the SNES that uses a custom sound driver to play 32 channels of sound at once, but when you activate the SPC700's reverb mode, it assigns 3/4 of the channels to effects rather than sound and music. Nintendo insisted on everyone using this mode, and that's partly how the SNES got its signature sound.

>>3052573
Reverb itself uses channels. It's not hard to imagine why.

>>3052582
If, by reverb mode you mean the "echo" Most games don't even use it and yet they're still limited to 8 channels.

>>3052615
Show me an SNES game that doesn't use reverb. I know reverb when I hear it.

>>3052619
SMW outside of underground zones? Then again, that 32 channels thing sounds fishy indeed. PS1 had a whole separated buffer for reverb which mixed the channels accordingly and you could disable it at leisure, yet it still only had 24 hardware channels. A chip much more advanced than the one SNES uses.

Always thought the Mega Drive had more punch than the SNES. The SNES always sounds washed out. So a really blaring rock guitar solo will sound like a gentle xylophone.

Only women don't like the sound of the Genesis sound chip. It's been scientifically proven that the female brain can't understand FM Synthesis as well as we do.

>>3054841
Most TMSS model 1s have the same circuitry as the early model 2s, so non-TMSS is definitely recommended, but I think he was talking about the first batch of model 1s with the softer low-pass filtering but higher distortion. But I still think the strong low-pass is still better than whatever rev without the ladder effect.

>>3054839
I have one of those cables. Just tested it. I can't believe it actually worked. Thanks.

>>3055000
You never thought to use a jack from headphone port to soundcard?

Anyway, before a record it's always best to do a level check. Have the Genesis volume slider up as far as possible without clipping as it comes into the soundcard (for less noise).

Then adjust the line/mic in volume on the computer. Be sure that the very loudest sound you'll be hearing comes up to about 95% of the full range. Probably easier to do a test recording for all this, then look at the waveform.

>>3054885
so it's just preference for whatever non-TMSS model 1 sound you want

TMSS has nothing to do with the sound. People only prefer it because it boots straight to the game instead of having the license screen at the start.

I've owned several model 1s. As long as your outputs look like this (even if it's TMSS or doesn't have the HD Graphics lettering), you've got a good Genesis.

The "bad" model 1s have the outputs shifted over toward the middle a bit. Those are the ones that are more similar to the Model 2.

>>3054841
Not exactly. There are TMSS models with good audio. But there's also ones with bad audio. Here's an in depth explanation of what to look for

The reference model for sound should always be the VA0 Model 1. Anything later is a cost-reduced version.

Model 1 VA1 might be acceptable because VA0s had a last-second snafu in the main oscillator, if VA1 only fixed that then it is acceptable.
