These are raw .hca files from PC Sanyk Farces. Play them with foobar2000 and latest Vgmstream. Or wait for someone to convert them. I included audio files from every archive with BGM in its name. I haven't went through every song, but so far they all play so.
Enjoy.

Thanks! I can use Foobar2000 to play them, but it seems that the names of the tracks don't feet with the theme I hear in some cases. I don't know if it's an error of Foobar or something else.

But thanks anyway!

No, it's something to do with the archive they got extracted from and vgmtoolbox's extractor.

Also, here's raw stuff for Episode Shadow.

These won't play in Foobar. Anyway, is there a way for me to modify these files in audacity or something so I can perfect them, or is someone else already doing that?

You need vgmstream component for foobar. They work for me, and the person above.

Thanks. This game has an amazing soundtrack, and it feels like real sonic spirit!

I like the Final Boss themes, and they work with a weird system, with separated tracks for some of the in-battle events. Looks like the Hedgehog Engine is more powerful as expected when playing sounds and music.

The Hedgehog engine is a graphic engine as far as I know. Not much else to it.

Thanks a lot! <3

Waited anxiously for the game.
Now waiting anxiously for a tagged version of a gamerip

The Hedgehog engine is a graphic engine as far as I know. Not much else to it.

As I know, yes. But every engine needs a way to handle the music and sound effects, and not all the engines can handle more than one theme at a time or even change between music themes and sound effects without loosing the tempo in the process. The games I know that can make this so far are Crash Bandicoot 2, Jak and Daxter, Jak 2 Renegade, The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess, Skyward Sword, Breath of the Wild, Monkey Island, Sonic Generations, Final Fantasy XV and this one now (and Sonic Generations didn't use the Hedgehog engine, but even with that, in the final battle when you switch between the two Sonic, the music changes too).

Well technically, this is Hedgehog Engine 2.

The Hedgehog Engine is a graphics and lighting engine not for gameplay or sounds.

Game engines cover a gamut of things. I've never read that the Hedgehog Engine or Hedgehog Engine 2 were soley for graphics and shaders.

"The Hedgehog Engine is capable of producing CGI film quality graphics."
Sonic games use Havok for physics, Hedgehog Engine for what's explained in the page I linked above and developers use Wwise for audio solutions.

so any chance someone can rip and tag the tracks and put that up as a download?

Yeah what he said

Can you PLEASE put up a MEGA mirror download? I can't use Google Drive because it keeps fucking up with a network error and using MEGAsync is much easier.

Can anyone confirm that the full theme of infinite is there ?

It's not. It only plays in one cutscene, and it's even shorter than the thing we got on youtube.

Gotcha ! One more thing. The latest update has the super sonic transformation theme, do you have it please ?

It's the instrumental version of fist bump, it's longer than the first one we got at the reveal.

The title screen music with that LSO goodness..

Man, it's always a waste that 99% of Sonic is electronic and 1% tease of orchestral goodness. Why bother then?

I mean, the core of Sonic music has always been electronic, and the orchestral stuff became a bonus in later games.

I can understand the greater appeal for grander and epic tracks, but to my ears, I always did prefer the more VGM sound for Sonic.

Can't wait to hear what Forces has cooked up in the music department. I've heard people say good things.

I'm not shitting on the rest of Sonic music, I'm just saying it's dissapointing to hear such orchestra goodness in a Sonic game, and it's just two or three cues.. it feels like a massive tease

So far it's pretty generic. But it's a good sonic soundtrack. Same level as lost world so far.

Some people are, for some reason, disliking the Classic Sonic stage themes. I love 'em. Remind me of Sonic 1 and 2, which was (surely) the intent.

Admittedly, given that Classic Sonic just came from Mania which had a more modern, CD-style soundtrack, it might be a bit of a turn off for others. Still, I love these tracks. Favs are Death Egg, Casino Forest and Iron Fortress (this one I REALLY like. It sounds like a theme of desperation, like you need to beat Eggman or else the world is his. I like it.)

I managed to convert the tracks to lossless wav files. I now will convert them into 320kbps and upload, hold on!

Holding on!

I just wish they release the tracklist for the official soundtracks already, so the gamerip can actually match the tracklist from the OSTs instead of being some unofficial list

Fortunately, we'll only have to wait a month at most, since the OSTs are dropping...mid-December, I believe? I placed an order for them both a few days ago.
