Thread: R&C1 Soundtrack in Stereo!

Well, most of it anyway. David Bergeaud made the original game's score in stereo, but to save on DVD's space IG mixed all the tracks to mono in the final game, which additionally resulted in the stereo mix's central channel (instruments that play in both channels) being overly loud - basically, it did not sound very good. For quite a while the only track to be avaible in it's original stereo mix was the Metropolis theme from David Bergeaud's site, but finally someone found a source for more tracks - the game's beta version. Now, most of these tracks are unfinished, missing some instruments and even whole sections, but at the same time… They're Stereo! So in my opinion, they're worth checking out Let's all thank KBABZ from IG Forums for sharing these: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZPGwQ8guKhI6gGc-DUR1MRBymbYQ3c_y

This is the best month-early Christmas gift I could ask for!
And this was worth it just for Eudora and Umbris, which sound 75% funkier now
Although we had already heard most of these in stereo anyway, thanks to UYA. Still really cool, nonetheless and I have a newfound appreciation for some of the tracks in the first game.
Also, am I going crazy or can you hear a very faint choir in Hoven's theme?

Way cool! Great playlist for work, except I usually wear headphones on only one ear…

For some reason, my ears cannot defer a difference between mono and stereo. Maybe this one sounds a little clearer…

Put on some headphones and compare this to this.
A little clearer is an understatement :P

No, you're not, I noticed this back in the mono mix I actually started to appreciate Orxon, or at least the beggining - it sounds so much better in this version.

Hmm, well thanks for the share. I'm loving this!

I would really like if the soundtrack got released in stereo. One of my favorite tracks is Orxon as Ratchet. I decided to try and make the mono track sound stereo and I think the result was kinda good

Go check it out if you want on my youtube channel

Great job, @SprocketsPlank!

The thing is, there are actually a few soundtracks in stereo that exist in demo videos that play if you idle too long at the main menu. The person who uploaded it forgot to include Kalebo III (since it's there too!), but Orxon in stereo makes a huge difference and that's a shame that we'll never got original, uncompressed tracks composed by David.
