Link: TAKEN DOWN
Alternate Link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/knfo9t8nen1o878/Sonic%20Mania%20%7E%20Soundtrack.rar

If you got any questions or concerns regarding this download link and the soundtrack itself, don't hesitate to ask me! Thanks for downloading~!

Thank you for your hard work ;_;7

can't wait to listen!

You're welcome! If you have downloaded this already (prior to my new update), then please redownload the soundtrack again. It includes some fixes to tracks such as the Extra Life and Invincibility songs and I even added new "album art" for the soundtrack. You won't regret it, I assure you~ ^^

Was this recorded from the game, or actually ripped from the game files?

Ehhh, here's what was done:

Some of the tracks, such as Studiopolis Act 1, were taken from already ripped tracks. Tracks done by Hyper Potions and Nitro Fun were taken straight from the official release of those respective songs. Tracks such as Extra Life, Act Clear, Chemical Plant Boss, and Invincibility were recorded at their highest quality; comparable to an official soundtrack's quality. The plan was to rip the music from the game's files but the PC release isn't here. But due to how simple it was to rip the majority of the soundtrack because of the game's Sound Test, I feel there's no need for the PC release's assistance.

So long story short, yes it was recorded and no it wasn't. It was both recorded AND ripped, just to make sure we got the highest quality possible~

Edit: And when I say ripped, I mean from official tracks released on Youtube and converted to high quality tracks. Specifically from the tracks that the youtube channel Sonic the Hedgehog officially released as "teasers" like the Mini Boss theme for example. Those tracks, however, were edited to fade out, not have a proper ending to the tracks. Sorry for the mix up.

Was this recorded from the game, or actually ripped from the game files?

Since PS4/One/Switch are not hacked, only a rip from game file will see the light of the day at the PC release.
Also the composer release the soundtrack in flac 24bits in september if you ordered a vinyl.

Drowning theme?

Drowning theme?

Drowning Theme...? Hmm, that's something I always tend to forget. Well, that Drowning Theme, along with the Game Over theme and maybe some cutscene themes (specifically Eggman and the Hard Boiled Heavies are shown up or whatever and the ending theme(s)), will have to come at a later date.

Thanks for the fabulous work and the upload!

Yaaaaaaay! Thank you! :D

There's a sound test, on Switch it can be accessed like this: hold Y+B before the Title Screen prompt, then press + (still holding the other buttons). There's 51 (0x33 in hex) songs accessible from there.

Thanks for sharing this ripped soundtrack!

I made a longer chorus edit to Press Garden's Act 2 theme as I felt Lopes shortened chorus sounded strange: https://www.mediafire.com/file/nng5tw2g0o4ncs4/Sonic%20Mania-%20Press%20Garden%20Zone%20Act%202.mp3

Thanks a lot

Thanks a lot!

Chorus sounded strange? I listened to the version in my compiled soundtrack and your edit and I don't noticed any differences aside from the obvious edits in your edited version. Do mind elaborating? Because I think the one in the soundtrack I have available sounds fine.

EDIT: I see the problem, and I further improved it with the recent update.

THANKS A FRIKKIN LOT!!!!!!!!!!!

THANKS A FRIKKIN LOT!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha, no problem~ ^_^

thank you

Ace! Cheers.

Thank you for this, just a side the Eggman boss theme 2 is actually called "Studiopolis Zone: Boss Act". Not the official name but just for the precision.

Mirage Saloon Act 1 still has a bit cut off from the beginning, as is the case with all current recordings of that particular track.

The best way to record the music until a proper gamerip can be made with the PC version, is in the D.A. Garden, which can be unlocked after gaining enough Gold Medals in the Blue Spheres bonus stages.

As a reference, here are all the tracks currently missing from this collection:
- Results Screen
- Speed Up
- Egg Reverie (Extra Boss) Pinch
- Drowning
- Game Over
- Hard Boiled Heavies Mischief Theme (Cutscene)
- Angel Island Zone (Cutscene)
- Countdown Jingle

Thank you for this, just a side the Eggman boss theme 2 is actually called "Studiopolis Zone: Boss Act". Not the official name but just for the precision.

I was originally going to call it "Studiopolis Boss", like Chemical Plant and Stardust Speedway, but I assumed that because "Ruby Delusions" song was called Eggman Boss Theme 1, the Studiopolis Boss theme would be called Eggman Boss Theme 2 that I've seen around here.

Do you want me to update the track name with Studiopolis Boss?

Oh geez, I had forgotten about Mirage Saloon Act 1's cutoff for the ST Mix... My apologies! Later on (most likely after the PC version is released), I'll be sure to update this track with a proper beginning. ^_^

As stated before, this soundtrack doesn't have EVERY track from the game. Those will come at a later date. (And you're gonna have to be specific on what you mean on "results screen". Are you referring to the Special Stage's results screen or something?) If someone has somehow managed to acquire the tracks you've listed before me, then if and when I get my hands on them, I'll update this soundtrack again. I want to have the privilege of calling this soundtrack COMPLETE with all the tracks here.

I'll also update this soundtrack with the Alternate Opening Theme that I had learned recently existed (you will have to watch the Opening Animation twice to hear the alternate opening theme), but that's once the SFX are gone (yes, this alternate opening animation has SFX. They are awfully quiet, but still a little troublesome, so I won't add that track in until the SFX are undoubtedly gone).

I do thank you for the reference list though. ^^ They will indeed help me tell me what I'm missing later down the road!

do you guys know there's a sound test found by holding b+y, going to the title screen, and then pressing start? could be useful for recording

Yes, fully aware. :) I'll look into it, but I'll more likely wait for the PC release so I have an easier time recording tracks. Unless someone else beats me to it before the PC release, I'll see what I can do regarding missing tracks listed above.

(And you're gonna have to be specific on what you mean on "results screen". Are you referring to the Special Stage's results screen or something?)

I meant the Competition Results Screen, I had the D.A. Garden open whilst writing this and that's what the track was named; which is also where I got the names of the rest of these tracks from. I'm not sure if someone else has managed to get them yet, I was just providing a reference on what was left.

Ah, interesting. Thank you for this info. You see, I don't exactly have Sonic Mania anymore. My cousin is the one who has the game and I merely played it with him. He had to go back to school last night so we made sure to get as many tracks as we could. We were unaware that a D.A. Garden existed until AFTER he left, so it'll be some time before I get my own copy of the game (via PC).

I hope that someone manages to record some good quality tracks (not ones recorded from a potato, lol). Once that happens, I'll add them to this collection. ^^

Do as you please. On the otherside i can't wait to get the rest of the soundtrack as mention it early.

- Results Screen
- Speed Up
- Egg Reverie (Extra Boss) Pinch
- Drowning
- Game Over
- Hard Boiled Heavies Mischief Theme (Cutscene)
- Angel Island Zone (Cutscene)
- Countdown Jingle

thanks for that <3

Thanks for this! Can't wait to try it out tomorrow!!! BTW Sonic AND Mega Man fan?? We should be friends.

It's probably my taste but I thought the longer asian sounding part should've harmonized better than it being slightly shorter.

Thanks for taking the time to make this. Will download this when I get home.

Also, Chemical Plant Act 2 is missing a drum beat at around 8 seconds in. Could you please fix that? Thanks.

Thank you so much for the quality work done!

Missing a drum beat? Sounds fine to me.

Well, in this gameplay video, the snare drum is present unlike in your soundtrack:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AG6z9E6_LA8

Ah, I see what you mean now. Hmm, I'm glad you were able to notice something as minor as this, because I sure didn't at the time. A lot of rips of this song seem to have the same issue as mine... I'll make note of this and fix this at a later date along with Mirage Saloon Act 1 ~ ST Mix's intro cut. ^^

---------- Post added at 01:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 AM ----------

Alright, so Press Garden Act 2 has a weird looping issue. It's shorter than it's supposed to be and that's... a problem. Therefore, I'm gonna edit the track with my video editing software so that it harmonizes better, okay? :) I will update this later on tonight to give you all a sample on how better it should sound. Just hang tight. ^^

Okay everyone, so after about 30-45 minutes of editing, I have created a proper loop for Press Garden Zone Act 2. I will update the soundtrack with this loop, but first, I want you all to listen to the results of my editing here:
http://s000.tinyupload.com/download.php?file_id=68714553268292635425&t=6871455326829263542572550 (Oh and please ignore the Mega Man ZX Album Art on the mp3 file. It just automatically chooses that for some reason)

Tell me if you have problems downloading this track. If you didn't have any problems and you successfully downloaded it, then tell me what you think.

I'll go ahead and update the soundtrack with the actual loop of Press Garden Act 2.

Sorry that I keep bumping. But I soon realized that I could indeed edit into Mirage Saloon Act 1 (ST Mix)'s intro in properly, and so I did. You can take a listen here mp3 file:

http://s000.tinyupload.com/download.php?file_id=58770745467982928057&t=5877074546798292805748377

Once again, I'll provide a update on my first post with the mp3 file so you can replace it in the soundtrack. If I have a lot of updates, then I will update the RAR file with all the new stuff, but this is only two mp3 files (Press Garden Act 2 and Mirage Saloon Act 1 ~ ST Mix), so I feel no need to completely update the soundtrack just yet.

Great job :) for the Blue Spheres music, its lowered then the volume goes up, could u fix that where the volume is at high from the beginning to end? And u forgot to add the Endings cutscene music as well.

Hmm, I'll see what I can do. I too noticed that.

And I will say it again (hence why I now posted this on the first post), this soundtrack is technically incomplete and does not have EVERY track in the game. That means the Ending cutscene music isn't here yet. You'll have to wait a little bit before every track in Mania is acquired and added to this collection.

I also heard that knuckles has his own ending theme, in the debug mode.

I also heard that knuckles has his own ending theme, in the debug mode.

Ah yes, it's a remix of the Knuckles Chaotix' Theme. It plays when you beat the extra final boss as Super Knuckles in "& Knuckles Mode". It's a joke ending because clearly Knuckles isn't responsible for saving the day and junk, but that doesn't stop him from telling the story to a few animals with the book titled "Sonic Mania & Knuckles" while Sonic & Tails watch confused at the entire scene.

Is it in Debug Mode or DA Garden? Can't tell ya that b/c I don't have access to Sonic Mania and won't be for awhile.

Bump. Update to the entire soundtrack so be sure to replace your previous one! (Read the first post for more information on this update)

Here's a video of the music for Chemical Plant Act 2 if you need it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udkwwKajk7c

Happy to help! There's one thing that also bugs me and that's most of the tracks having weird fade-out points. What I mean is some of them loop more than twice and some of them loop once and a half. Other than that, you're doing a great job!

Yes, I can see what you mean. The most noticeable one that loops once and a half is Mirage Saloon Zone Act 1 ~ K Mix. I was questioning if I should fix that or not, but perhaps I can later on. And thank you. I want to be hounding this game like a dog because Sonic Mania is the game a LOT of us have been waiting for. I want to make this soundtrack complete~

Aside from Mirage Saloon Zone Act 1 ~ K Mix, can you give me a list of songs that have weird fade-out points? I want to fix those but I don't have the time to sit down and listen to them all at the moment. Also, I did just recently update the soundtrack, so maybe some of those songs are fixed? You take a listen. :) In the mean time, I'm gonna fix Chemical Plant Zone Act 2 now that I have someone who has properly ripped that song.

Well, I kind of edited them myself for my own pleasure, but since you updated this, I could help if I remember before I edited them. I know that both acts of Green Hill Zone were a bit strange, Act 1 having a couple of extra loops and Act 2 being ALMOST perfect but started fading out slightly before the second loop. I know I might be giving you a bit too much work right now and if I am, I'm sorry.

Nono, you're fine. Don't worry. I'll see what I can do.

I'm uploading an edited version of your soundtrack with the "proper" fade-outs to MEGA. You would need to add the new songs though. Should I pm you the link when it's done?

Yes, that'd be nice. PM the link once it's complete, okay?

Thanks man.
Can't wait till the PC release for a proper gamerip.
Until then, this is pretty good :)

Thanks.

thanks

Its great the gamerip soundtrack is improving :) I was wondering if u could add the Chemical Plant zone boss music after Act 2 and the Metal Sonic song next to Stardust Speedway Act 2 to make it in order

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

Oh and Mirage Saloon Act 2 and Press Garden Act 2 has the same glitch still in the soundtrack

What glitch? Both tracks are fine to me.

Oh and no, I will not. I understand your reasoning for wanting it in that order, but the D.A. Garden (and even the Debug Mode Sound Test I believe) kinda has it set up my way. In the D.A. Garden the "Chemical Plant Boss" is actually named "Mean Bean Machine" and "Stardust Speedway Boss" is named "Metal Sonic Boss". I may consider adding those titles in the name (I.e. "Stardust Speedway Boss Act ~ Metal Sonic") or something like that. But if you want Chemical Plant Boss after Chemical Plant Act 2 and/or Stardust Speedway Boss after Stardust Speedway Act 2 then you'll have to do it yourself. My tracklist will continue having Boss themes set in a specific groups with the other boss themes like so.

Keep up the most FUN-tastic work! Three additional tracks in just about 48 hours. Amazing!

OK I found the Angel Island Zone cutscene music and it's actually really short. Here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcOgkRjrNe4
The dude that posted the video also has some of the other songs you didn't include on his channel.

Whelp! It's time to update the soundtrack now! XD Thanks for the link~! Really helps a bunch~! ^_^

I was originally going to call it "Studiopolis Boss", like Chemical Plant and Stardust Speedway, but I assumed that because "Ruby Delusions" song was called Eggman Boss Theme 1, the Studiopolis Boss theme would be called Eggman Boss Theme 2 that I've seen around here.

The Studiopolis act 2 boss theme is reused for the Metallic Madness act 2 boss, so I'd definitely keep the name "Eggman Boss Theme 2" as-is.

The soundtrack has been updated! It includes ALL the missing tracks such as Speed Up, Angel Island Zone Cutscene, Countdown, etc! I also included the Alternate Opening Theme, Ending Theme and the "& Knuckles" Ending. Fair warning though, the Alternate Opening Theme and Ending Theme have SFX in it. Those will be replaced when there's non-SFX versions floating around. However the "& Knuckles" Ending has no SFX so be happy~!

Thanks for everyone who's helped me with this soundtrack! I really mean it! I couldn't have done it without your help and advice! It's basically complete! (I can't call it 100% because of the Alternate Opening Theme and "& Knuckles" Ending themes, so let's just call it 99% complete, lol)

Ahh, thanks for that info. I've forgotten that it was reused there. Yeah, good thing my mind told me to keep it as-is, huh? X)

Hallelujah! It's finally done! Nice work. When the PC version comes out I'll rip the music and probably give this a go myself since I've pre-ordered it.

Thanks~ And good luck to you! I'll be absolutely sure to check out your rip of this game in the future! ^^

There seems too be a weird pop sound at the start of Eggman Boss 1. Don't know if that's part of the actual music so i figured it was worth pointing out.

EDIT: Scratch that. No, it's not part of that. Hmm, I'll provide a link to the fixed version of Eggman Boss 1. (Goddammit. XD)

Sorry about that. I hadn't realized it at the time. I'm so quick to share this OST.

Here's the fixed version of 38 - Ruby Delusions ~ Eggman Boss Theme 1: https://mega.nz/#!g8tx1RQY!uEdKyh2JoSZV-roUArLlKFK2o__gccvd2pyYFiLqqXU

Haha, what? X)

Sorry about that.. couldn't help but notice that tiny detail.lol
Sounds like the start of Studiopolis Act 2 is slightly off as well.

I appreciate your work but it's very bad quality MP3. Can you provide WAV files please instead of MP3 ? Like, it's better to have them lossless.

The only way would be to get the pc file.

I'm sorry you think it's bad quality.

I'm also sorry, but that's a complete and utter waste of my time. WAV files are WAAAY too big. You have two options: Convert them yourself or wait for the PC release on August 29th where someone will undoubtedly do a game rip and give you your lossless tracks. My preference has always been MP3s and that's what I provide.

Oh yes, the Save Select Theme is officially titled "Sunshine Cassette". The Sonic youtube channel uploaded the track on youtube today.

So, I'm going to update this entire soundtrack once again. Yes, I know, again. However, I manged to acquire tracks of higher quality since some of tracks didn't sound so high quality. It also didn't help that I edited a few of them (Mirage Saloon Act 1 ~ ST Mix had it's opening edited in). Therefore, I'm currently compiling a higher quality soundtrack. Hopefully, people will find this revision of the soundtrack better than before. I'll update this later once it's complete later on tonight.

Stay tuned~

deleted

How do you get the tracks? You record them? You record audio or video? Like, if it's video, you probably leave the video and just keep the audio. I suggest using Musepack/Opus instead of MP3. It's very better. But very rare, like people don't really know about these formats. Thanks in advance.

Why would it be video? It's music.

deleted

Thank you

.

omg thank you

Thanks for this! Mania's a great game and its soundtrack is amazing. :)

Thanks for all the comments everyone.

Do excuse me, but I'm gonna need you guys to download the soundtrack again. Why? Because I've updated it again. This time, it's quite a major update, so I highly recommend you redownload this soundtrack for a better experience with the sound quality.

Again, thank you all for the comments.

deleted

No problem. I worked tirelessly for this (I'm not even kidding when I say "tirelessly" either). I'm glad that my efforts are getting acknowledged via extensions and stuff. Makes me happy that people appreciate what I've done (even though I didn't have to do this. I did it because I'm a major Sonic fan and I wanted the soundtrack myself, lol).

I had just fixed the Stardust Speedway Zone Boss track. Apparently, I didn't notice that there was an error in that specific track during it's conversion process. The error is that around the 1:45 to 1:50 mark, there is a split second stop that does hinder the experience of this badass song. I still kept the original file apparently (I thought I deleted it but nope), so I just converted it again. It's fixed now and I provided a new link silently. ^_^;

I hope when the PC version comes out there are non SFX versions of the Alternate Opening Theme and the Ending Theme (specifically the True Ending theme, because the Normal Ending theme is just a shorter version of the True Ending Theme). Given that the SFX were part of the animation sequence, I have some doubt that the PC version will have a file without SFX. But hey, we'll wait and see.

Anyway, this is the highest quality available I think. If the PC version's music files' quality is similar to mine, then I will feel extremely happy because that means I was able to record tracks to their quality.

deleted

Hm? Are you sure there's silence there? I just played the entire track from beginning to end and I heard no silence that you speak of.

deleted

That's strange... It's working absolutely perfectly fine with me. Try redownloading the link and reply to me after that, okay?

deleted

I just check and I kind of noticed it too. It's actually at 1:50. It's very faint though.

deleted

This is indeed strange... Its working fine for me... Im going to look into this later. For now, i need some sleep...

SIGH Alright people, I figured out the problem. For some odd reason, any track that goes beyond 1:49 has that weird split second silence/glitch that completely hinders the experience.

Therefore, I'm going to be restarting again. Not from the very beginning, but on the tracks that go beyond 1:49 (let's see, that means... ALL of the Zones, ALL of the Boss Fights, and a few menu songs). The jingles, ending themes and trailer songs are fine, otherwise. This shouldn't take me too long fortunately, so sit tight.

I apologize that something always goes wrong with each update. I do try my hardest to give you guys a great experience.

Guess I'll be waiting for the "final release" of this gem then. Good to see that at every update it just keeps getting better!

Thank you very much! <3

I bought the full version of Friends. Do u need it for this?

https://mega.nz/#!H80kmbgT!aY4ZeGdTSTshNvVKHwNUttLlpSO71u5iflQzdog7Rfc

I'll buy the other Hyper Potions songs for this if u need them but it'll have to be on Thursday.

Also. The new Egg Reverie messes up around 1:50. Eggman Bosd 1 does too. At 1:49.

No problema.

Ik where to buy them. Im just broke rn is all.

I have all the trailer songs (even Friends' full version). I only included the short version of Friends for the opening, and I included the two other trailer themes from Mania including Checkpoint by Nitro Fun & Hyper Potions and Time Trials by Hyper Potions. Those songs are in this OST.

And yes, I am quite aware of the songs messing up around 1:50. I'm currently fixing them, so please sit tight. ^_^ So far, I have re-converted Eggman Boss 1, Eggman Boss 2, and Stardust Speedway Zone Boss, and they completely lack the issue around 1:50. Fortunately, I don't have to re-convert ALL the songs, just the ones that exceed past the 1:50 mark. I should be able to finish all of this today, so wait for me please~! :)

Thanks for the upload!

(I should probably get rid of the download link until I update it properly tonight....)

No problem. I recommend you wait a little longer. The tracks that exceed 1:50 have a glitch issue that's being addressed as we speak.

Update is available. Go and get it.

Thank You very Much for the Find. C: (*Hugs You*)

I wish You Luck on Getting the other Sonic Mania Trailer Music.

(*Titled “Porta Vista”, “Checkpoint”, and “Time Trials.” In Case anybody was wondering.*)

--

Thats the 27th album : Cataclysm that has full version of Checkpoint

Update is available. Go and get it.

After a first listen, everything seems great. Best gamerip available by a mile!

I'd suggest a few tagging optimisations, such as the Album artist and Original composers. I'm even ready to do it myself if you don't have the time.

Definitely the best quality rip I've heard. Nice work.

I originally had Album Artist tagged as "SEGA" and Composer tagged as "Pagoda West Games". I didn't do that because.... I don't know, lazy I guess? It didn't seem that much of a problem and thought no body would care about those tags but... clearly not, lol

Just downloaded and listened to the update. AWESOME. Thank you so much for this. :)

Glad my days of hard work are appreciated. Thanks for the comments everyone~

I DID increase the volume of Stardust Speedway Zone Boss because that was a little bit quiet. I increased it by 20%.

Could There be an alternate Mirror Link for those of us that Cannot Work with the MEGA Download server? I keep trying to download Your Soundtrack Rip & it always Gives Up on Me.

Plus it is also a Good Idea to Have a Backup Ready incase something Happens to the First Link.

I'd hate for anyone to be denied the Chance to Listen to This Soundtrack rip & Let and Let any effort to Get This find to us, go to waste.

Thank You very much for Reading My Request. C:

Ohh, sorry about that. I'll try to create another link, hang on.

Update. Added a alternative link for the soundtrack for those having trouble with MEGA.

Thank You for Your Efforts to Create an Alternate Download Link. Unfortunately My Virus Protection on My Computer Prevented Me from Using 4shared. & I don't want to risk Losing My Laptop to anything bad. :'C

Are You Positive that You do not want to use Mediafire as Your Backup Link? If "Yes." I'll Respect Your Decision.

I apologize if I'm acting all "Douchey McNitpick" about all this. ): (*Blushes in embarrassment.*)

Thanks for all this effort! Sonic Mania has quite an amazing soundtrack.

My only concern with the current version of this rip is the volume of some tracks. I compared the older and newer rips of Flying Battery Act 2 (Just one example) and the older one had good volume and more depth. The newer mix is significantly louder but sounds much flatter in consequence.

Flying Battery Act 1/2, Press Garden Act 1/2,Stardust Speedway Act 1/2/Metal Sonic, Hydrocity Act 1/2 and some of the boss themes are the ones I personally find the most affected by their loudness.

I am sorry if I come across as nitpicky. xD
It's a really good rip so far with some minor improvements that could be done. Excellent work! c:

It's fine. I realize that I don't have the most perfect rip of them all. I guess all I can say is wait until the 29th. Someone is BOUND to rip that OST in less than a second.

Don't you worry, I understand. I understand so much, that I added the MediaFire link to it. I guess I DID have a MediaFire account back in 2013-2015... ^_^;

Updated. MediaFire link added. Replaces 4shared link.

alexthegrand thanks a lot! It sounds amazing to me

Thanks.

Yeah. I am. Unless I have to go to work that day.

Just checked. I don't.

EDiT: I also ordered the vinyl soundtrack and I'll be adding those tracks as soon as it comes in.

i just hope that it will mark the SEGA's awakening for the next games passed from OLD>NEW generation with this lovely pixel art & these great chiptunes !!!
SEGA hold lot of venerated licenses to make it awesome ! should i list them ? no ... :3

cheers my friends.

I take it that you're not familiar with the previous games built in Christian's retro engine then. (The Sonic CD, Sonic 1, and Sonic 2 remasters) All of the game data including music is stored in an encrypted file called Data.rsdk. With Sonic CD, it took about 2 weeks before a tool to decrypt & unpack the data was released. For Sonic 1 & 2, it took 3 days. With this being a brand new game, I would not be surprised if they changed the format again and a new decryption tool will have to be written. I don't think any of the people who wrote the first two applications are still active. Just wanted to warn you not to expect direct game rips on day one.

Thanks for your efforts in putting together these recordings. It'll be a nice alternative until they start selling the OST.

Please re-upload the versions of the songs with the volume unchanged. You can't just change the volume(amplitude) of a song willy-nilly if you don't know 100% what you are doing, I don't even need to download the current version to know that you probably clipped the soundwave by doing this, resulting in static noise and low quality. Even worse if you opened mp3 files to do this and saved them as mp3 again, adding further compression.

The Sound Test on PC would be the same as the underlying files, so that shouldn't be an issue. (That said, that's cool info I didn't know, so thank you for sharing.)

Hey man, you wanna rip the soundtrack yourself? Be my guest.

When I started the first time, I had the volume pretty low so I re-recorded them with the volume at 100%. The ONLY track that has been altered was the Stardust Speedway Zone Boss because for some reason, it sounded quiet EVEN when I recorded it with the volume at 100%. I did it at least 5 times to see if I was goofing up so I just raised the volume a bit by 20%. It may sound a bit louder than the others, but re-doing it is a pain. Do you REALIZE how long it takes me to re-record each and every track the game offers just so I can update for you guys? All I do is update the MP3 tracks to 320kbps. That's all.

Come to think of it, what date did you download the recent version? Because in my previous version (before August 20th), I had raised the volume on a LOT of tracks and used a crappy editor for the majority of the tracks (Mirage Saloon Act 1 ~ ST Mix was the biggest victim of this). The current version is much better than before.

Are you sitting behind me watching me work? No, no you aren't. Therefore, if you don't like this, then go elsewhere. Or better yet? Record these tracks yourself.

Like I said, someone's BOUND to do a better job than I, later on. Once that person comes along, I'll praise him/her and I'll download their version. I just provided a soundtrack that's "good enough".

And if you haven't even DOWNLOADED the current version, then you can't go assuming anything. Do that and come back and talk to me.

Actually, no, I'm actually not, so thanks for the lesson. :)

I'm sure they'll have an official soundtrack (not the one coming in September, that's something kinda different), and when they do, people will post it on this site. X)

alexthegrand, thank you so much for your continuing efforts with this!!! Sounds amazing and it feels like it's now 1994 and I'm a very happy 11 year old :-)

THANK YOU!!!

You're welcome~ If only this was one of the games released on the Sega Saturn... Sonic 3D Blast and Sonic R are fine, but this would've made for a great 2D Saturn game. ^^

.

I think it unlocks in about 1 hour and 24 minutes.

Had to help my parents out with bills and no longer have the money gor the PC version. Do I can't rip it just yet.

Anyone with thr PC version willing to send it's audio files? They'll probably be in sn encrypted archive again.

I can try, I bought it yesterday on steam, It will be available in about an hour :)

Hmm, I just downloaded the PC version.
It seems most of the game's data is packaged inside a .rsdk file, which is an extention I don't know at all :(

Here's what's inside the PC versions folder:



I can upload it if someone wants to try to exctract its contents? Just let me know.

Sappharad already gave some insights on the matter a few days ago : Thread 218660

I already upload the RSDK file here : https://mega.nz/#!di4RAKxZ!KS_24f9H3ALPYY8yUZ4jWQQr6n5PC1-mjZCROZPsMso

If someone can look at this. Thank you for helping us.

It's OGG. 61 songs.

I was able to use retrun-sonic (http://unhaut.x10host.com/retrun/) on the file Vector Harbor uploaded with the command retrun x data.rsdk -3 which seemed to work but only produced 5 ogg files for the Credits, Drowning, GameOver, MainMenu and Titlescreen. How did you get all 61?

Thank you!

Thanks! That does explain why the filenames are missing, still nice to get all the raw data for now though. I expect an updated RSDK extraction tool will be able to preserve the filenames. Also curious how the looping is handled, whether there is metadata in the OGG file or separate looping information file(s).

It's not a big deal we have the music that we need. The rest can be handle easily.

For the loop point, i think we have to look further in the rsdk file. Otherwise you have to loop manually the music.

Trying to name the tracks.

Metal Sonic boss could be called... Metal Malice?

How does Metal Malice sound?

Probaaaably a good idea to just wait for the official track name...

Sounds good! Do it how you like, then change the name when the official tracks come out. Get creative!

I don't think we need these weird name, just call Them normally.

*edit* Never mind, incorrect about unused tracks.

God I hope that the dynamics will be preserved on the vinyl...
Cos for now, the compression is really horrible... What a waste of a great soundtrack.

.

No you're right, I edited it cos apparently it's not the ost I was referring to.
I can't find anymore the one which has the better dynamics.
I'm glad I kept it!

Sonic Mania Original Soundtrack ~ 16-bit Hits [FLAC] (https://mega.nz/#!L0txGbqD!UxHVgMQaTS4wJLC0QqKux0d_5Y6yhaKlBNVNlZtyhBk)

MP3 has to come another time or someone can just convert them, I got things to do with the bae.

File names and track names aren't the same, like the file name could be "19-Eggman Boss 1" but the song title is "Ruby Delusions ~ Dr.Eggman's Various Machines"

Also, either something happened when tagging them or my phone has trouble reading flac tags cause I tagged Tee Lopes along with whatever the original songs composer was for the remade songs but for some reason it only shows the original composers on my phone haven't checked to see if it still shows Tee on the computer.

I REALLY find it completely unnecessary to change the track names. If you are going to change the track names, at least refer to the track names from the D.A. Garden in Sonic Mania. Like everyone else suggests, just wait until official names come out for tracks like Mean Bean Machine and the Metal Sonic boss (Strangely enough, the Eggman Boss 2 theme is in the Vinyl Soundtrack but... It doesn't have a "subtitle" like Eggman Boss 1... Maybe it'll come later, maybe not.)

The official Sonic the Hedgehog youtube channel will occasionally drop off some songs from Sonic Mania. Recently, they uploaded Lava Reef Zone Act 1. It's interesting to note that it doesn't have a "subtitle" (I'm sorry, I don't know what you call those things... ^_^; Ehehehe...), like (i.e.) Studiopolis Zone Act 2 does (it being "Prime Time"). I had assumed this previously and my assumptions appear to be right.

They may post the Competition/Time Attack theme on there, and we'll potentially have an official name for the track to use. Same could go for the Results screen or Credits theme or whatever. I think these "subtitles" (sorry XP) would only apply to the completely original tracks like Press Garden Zone Acts 1-2, Mirage Saloon Zone Acts 1-2 (+ ST & K Mixes), Studiopolis Zone Acts 1-2, Titanic Monarch Zone Acts 1-2, etc, etc. Ya get what I'm saying, right? Tell me someone agrees with me.

Apologies if I'm being "that guy" (or just really dense again), but where is the Eggman Boss 2 theme on the official vinyl listing?

http://vgmdb.net/album/69136

...it looks like every track has a subtitle like you're saying, but nothing referencing the second Eggman boss theme. Are you talking about Ruby Illusions (Final Boss Theme)?

Is there a version that combines the complete soundtrack with the vinyl versions? So you get all tracks from the game, but also the non-fadeout endings for the tracks that have them

Sorry to butt in, but has the digital version of the vinyl soundtrack been uploaded anywhere yet?

I've heard that a few people already have their copies (and verified that the digital download doesn't have any extra tracks), but no one's actually shared it online (at least, as far as I'm currently aware).

Fan-names for soundtracks are so cringeworthy. When a composer names his own track or something like that, it's pretty neat (like a Sky Sanctuary remixer naming his remix "Sanctuary in the Clouds" or something like that), but making names up for songs that already exist... all it does is put a very non-flattered blush on my face.

Anyway, yes, only Mania-original levels are getting subtitles on it's track names. Zones returning from previous games won't have act-specific tracknames.

As various people have already tried to point out, it was uploaded *before* the vinyl album was officially released.

The reason some of those have custom endings is probably because they ripped the OST sample tracks uploaded on YouTube and Soundcloud used to promote the vinyl release.

Ah right, I forgot about soundcloud.

Seems the Hydrocity songs are much louder than the rest of the songs for some reason.

Thank you!

Thanks for this great soundtrack! They overdid it. They finaly surpassed Sonic CD JP music.
I love how the music has a whole Sonic CD JP / EUR vibe... and how the music is mostly remixed of classic tracks.

THANKS

Thanks! This is the most complete rip of Mania I've seen thus far.

Thank you, but I HIGHLY recommend you download !!!!!'s rip of the soundtrack. It's FAR cleaner than my rip in which I ripped via a recording device while !!!!! got the music straight from the game's files.

Thread 218908

Thanks brother

Thanks a lot, not only for uploading this but also for showing love to Sonic Mania.

Hope Sega can finally wake from its slumber and give us more of the true spirit of Sonic games.
