What is it with genesis games always having such shitty music?
>>329127547
You just don't enjoy dope fucking bass.

Some MD music can sound good but the problem are the sound effects that a lot of games have,those really hurt your ears.
Shitty soundchip
N64 music is also suffering
>>329127792
Never reply to my threads ever again.
>>329127547
Shitty plebeian sound processor that can't even compete with the glorious Sony SPC-700.
>>329127547
Genisis had the superior sound chip
Nintendo games were nothing but beeps and blippy indie trash music
genisis could actually sound like jazz or metal.
>>329127856
N64 and GBA have the worst soundchips ever,the MD used a weaker version of this chip (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamaha_YM2608) but it can still sound nice.

Surprisingly the real anwer is "Sega didn't tell devs HOW to make good music for the genesis."
There's a weird story behind it that I'm too damn lazy to copypasta.
>>329134376

Huh, never heard Ys OaF's 16-bit music before. Genesis trumps the SNES for that one song, that's for sure.
But neither can beat the upgraded tracks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uOFrzAnFjxk
What really mattered was whether or not the composer actually knew what the fuck they were doing. The SNES had its fair share of shitty-sounding music as well, even though the sound chip it had was superior.

If the soundchip was bad then no composer could make it sound good
You're a retard and don't know what you're talking about
The YM2612 was one of the top of the line soundchips back in 1988 when the Mega Drive originally came out
The issue was that most American/European games used the shitty GEMS drivers instead of the SMPS drivers which Japanese games usually did
This is why Japanese games usually sound much better on the system
It's generally the difference of whether you think FM-synths are cool or not.
It can be a bit of an acquired taste thing.
Personally, I like the idea of live synthesis much more than just low-quality sample playback like on SNES. That's better for some sound effects though.

But the chip is still bad and less advanced than was in PS released earlier. A good chip would sound good five out of ten times not one out of ten.
I like how the music sounds on both the Genesis and SNES. Fuck all y'all

Star Light is great but Hyrdocity Zone act 2 is just on it's own level sorry
>>329137195
Whatever the limitations of the N64 soundchip are, the fact that they were there and the composers had to work around them actually ended up making the music, in my opinion, much better than it would have been.
I'm just guessing, though; it's just that when I think about my favorite vidya music, a disproportionate amount is from the N64.
If I think about it, my most listened to vidya tracks are from the genesis and N64.
>>329137214
Same here...and I think most of us here do the same
The Genesis had Sega's god-tier sound team though so it's on an another level

Pretty sure SNES had the superior soundchip and Genesis was slightly better in the graphics department you ignorant nigger.
>>329137365
I will respectfully disagree and let you go on your own way despite having an objectively wrong opinion since Star Light Zone might be the most perfect pop song ever created.
>>329137443
>Whatever the limitations of the N64 soundchip are, the fact that they were there and the composers had to work around them actually ended up making the music, in my opinion, much better than it would have been.
How would that be specific to N64 at all?

fun fact: bobby prince ate nothing but taco bell and spent an afternoon recording his shit splattering as music for the 32X version of Doom
>>329137763
SNES wasn't capable of synthesized sound like the Genesis was. Which means that instead you're going to have a some kind of synth string patch for your JRPG sounds, but you can always hear the sample being sped up or slowed down when different notes are played.

Could you rephrase your question to reflect that you are talking to someone that doesn't know shit about soundchips or anything like that and just really likes the music in N64 games?
Whatever the differences in working with the N64 to make music shaped these songs, as limitations shape all music, and make them, in my opinion, much better than they might have been.

Genesis sounds alright because it's not using static samples. Much like with NES, the organic quality of the midi makes it more bearable.
>>329138267
well, he is right...
this is OP incarnate
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ICP_1u6SO8
It honestly depended on the developer. A lot of games had that shitty BWANNNNNNNNNNNG type of music because they just didn't know how to develop properly for it.
But if you play with the bass and other instrumentations on the Genesis you get milky smooth music like:
https://youtu.be/gYBw18LszyM

https://youtu.be/_T7hdIh-gtw

>Sonic Spinball has bad music
I hate this meme
And it's always the fucking option music being posted...which is like the only bad track in the game(even then it's kinda of a "WTF" meme track which at least makes you laugh by catching you off-guard)
The rest of the tracks are great
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNO_Ha1H5Xk
And this is despite them using the shitty GEMS drivers which have that stupid twang sound(because American games usually used those) which make the accoplishment really impressive

>Whatever the differences in working with the N64 to make music
Back then there was only two ways to make music for the consoles.
Either you made your own tools, or you just gave the coders just some simple midis and samples to go along with each track. Both N64 and PS1 were pretty similarly limited in this manner, but PS1 had more features like filters and reverb at least.
>>329138162
>problem was sega themselves forgot all their good franchises in the process of leaving the console market
Well, they did end up remembering (most of) them for the All-Stars Racing games.
Genesis made great music though
>>329138267
>>329138709
Am I seriously the only person in this fucking world that LIKES the Options theme of Sonic Spinball?
It's not even the most BWAANNNNNNNNG song in the Genesis library either, it's easy to do better.

It's because of this
http://segaretro.org/GEMS
Most American developed games used this
While Japanese games often used this
http://segaretro.org/SMPS
It's worth noting though that there are some games that despited using the awful GEMS drivers still sound phenomenal

Shit opinion, OP.
Genesis had some awesome soundtracks, like my favorite gaem:

>>329138792
yeah, but not enough to make new games in those series.
it'd be like if nintendo just made mario games and forgot EVERYTHING ELSE, even zelda.
