Old Sega sounds...new productions?

Post by Farabee »

Try opening a Sega Genesis slash Mega Drive emulator and going through the soundtest of one of your favorite old games. EQ up the highs a bit and boom...you got Gaiser noises.

Honestly, I was thinking about it one night while playing some old Sega games. Doesn't surprise me as the FM chip in the Genesis was quite nice sounding, but damn.

yeah there is some awesome stuff on genesis. check out the soundtracks from contra hard corps or streets of rage 3, some funky techno action happening there...pretty fun for making weird loops actually.

i recommend downloading a program called Audio Overload (maybe mac only ??) but you can download tons of sega/nes/vgm stuff in small file formats, some files have all the sound fx too. im a total geek for old console noises :D
