Turrican (1990), Turrican II: The Final Fight (1991) and Turrican 3 (1993) main themes by Chris Hülsbeck. This upload is intended for headphones only. Why revisited? Read more below...
So i remade these using the channel/instrument repositioning gimmick. To me it sounded so good that i wanted to share the result. I'll keep the old Dolby uploads in my channel. You can compare these new ones against them if nothing else.
Turrican II and 3 will sound a bit less wide due to 2 channels being only 50% panned left/right (the other two 100%, so nothing in dead center). First Turrican has the basic 100% left/right and dead center config.
The reason for Turrican II and 3 channel config is WinUAE. I happened to try channel mode "4 channels" there to see if the internal wave recorder then records a 4 channel wave file. Well it did, and to my surprise it also still outputs audio into normal stereo headphones (i thought you needed quad channel setup to listen to 4 channel mode in WinUAE). The output to headphones sounded different against "stereo" mode - better (probably depends on track). It was clearly repositioning 2 channels in the stereo field in a non 100% way, despite me using 100% stereo separation option.
I'm sure the repositioning i'm using in this upload is not quite the same, but it's very very close to WinUAE's way of doing 4 channel mode.

Turrican deserves a comeback, a huge comeback so to speak.

@RetroProductionsGrifter 4 года назад

I totally agree

@SCHEIBIWORX 3 года назад

It gets a comeback. There will be 2 special editions on Switch (from Strictly Limited), including the Amiga-Versions, Genesis and Super Nintendo. They are limited, but still avaiable. I totally freaked out, when I heard that.

@TheTurnipKing 3 года назад

@@SCHEIBIWORX To be fair, that's less of a comeback and more of a re-release. But you know what, I'll take it over a botched "re-imagining".

@christianherbst674 2 года назад

Sorry, but I disagree! Most remakes in these times are technically perfect, but they lackethe spirit of the original! I'll be glad to be proven wrong on this, though!

@valenrn8657 2 года назад

Spaceman/gal with guns... that's Doom or Halo.

@SCHEIBIWORX 3 года назад

Hi! At these Corona-times we are all going through, these themes bring back sweet childhood memories! Maybe my parents have "Stones" and "Beatles" , but I have Hülsbeck! Great mastering!

@cashbacsi 3 года назад

Theres only one guy who is greater than Chris, Martin ‘O Donnel with Halo and Destiny …. Ok Hans Zimmer is quite good too. :P

Damn this sounds pretty crisp! It actually sounds to me like all the separate instruments have way more breathing room. Much clearer and well defined. I like it!

@therisinghope 4 года назад

Love your channel mate. Thanks for all the scene related effort.! Even tho...you just play your heart and soul. You know what i am talking about.!

Me having uploaded so many Huelsbeck's tracks, it's only fair that i take this opportunity to inform you of his ongoing Kickstarter campaign for Turrican II Live Orchestra Album (ends May 29): www.kickstarter.com/projects/chris-huelsbeck/turrican-ii-live-orchestra-album-by-chris-huelsbec Yes, i'm a backer :)

Great image!

@porcorosso81 4 месяца назад

Turrican 1 soundtrack is quite underrated due to its phenomenal successor. Link the sharp and „pointy“ sound of the title track, which matches the title picture quite well. Any chance @kuokka77 to do the full T1 OST sometime?

@ikagura 6 лет назад

nice

@lukegamerzw 6 лет назад

we need snes classic Zool or remake on nintendo switch or Zool 2 sequel

@Lofote 8 лет назад

Sounds good on good stereo equipment, why should it be for headphones only?

@Kuokka77 8 лет назад

If it sounds good for you with speakers, cool. The intended listening experience is achieved with headphones and the reason is the Dolby Headphone DSP which is in use here. It adds room virtualization. You don't want to add another room on top of that, which is what will happen with speakers, unless you happen to listen in an anechoic chamber.

@Lofote 8 лет назад

Ah ok.

@laurent64 7 лет назад

It sounds really good with SIDs which are typically horrible to listen to with headphones !

@VintageGermanyLP 6 лет назад

sounds well with my Philips headphones :)

@jadfxfrozeninspirationplay7772 8 лет назад

Platform Doom xD

@valenrn8657 3 года назад

Platform Halo.

I like these Dolby mixes, but they are a bit limp. They feel very empty to me, especially the low frequences which have no kick to them at all. All the filtering removes any clear warmth to the high ends too. I'm a purest though, fake surround (or mixing old tracker music to emulate being played in a wide open room) sounds rubbish. xD Much prefer the raw PCM samples without any alteration at all. Great videos, though. Lol.

@Kuokka77 8 лет назад

+Hal Hal (9000) Amiga raw is fine and dandy no question (A1200 era sound, not the horribly filtered sound that my own early-rev A500 unit puts out), but it was never meant for headphones imo, which is what i use exclusively for music. That's why i started to play with these gimmicks. Stereo-join of sorts combined with subtle crossfeed, or ever crossfeed alone (Meier Audio does it well), gives much more neutral experience that suits headphones without resorting to any room simulation effect. Dolby with its room simulation is certainly an acquired taste and definitely not for purists ;)

@citizenhal 8 лет назад

+Kuokka77 Yeah, I just think if you want room simulation then just play them on big speakers in a room. :P

@funguy8801 7 лет назад

+Hal ... some people don't have a big speakers ... or a room! ... appreciate the different "flavours" of this amazing music available ... to cater for all situations ... like for example with headphones on a train. Best commute ever!
