This is the 2.1 Soundtrack Throwback mod (or 2.1ClassicMDMixes as the file suggests). I've always enjoyed the soundtrack of version 2.0/2.1 and how it manages to capture some of that classic Sonic charm, so I decided to do my own take on things. This mod replaces the current 2.2 soundtrack with an all new remixed (or de-mixed) version of 2.1's ost. I went through every song in 2.1's soundtrack and remade them all keeping Genesis limitations in mind (5 channels, percussion, and 3 PSG channels). While most of them respect these, I cheated with a few of them by giving an extra channel or so. Please read the attached .txt file for more info about this modpack.
All mixes are edited down versions of the midis present in 2.1's music.dta file. All remixes were done in LMMS using mostly the Genny VST, various samples, and a bit of the Ultimate Mega Drive soundfont.
This music pack has two parts. The default game's music pack, and the multiplayer music pack. I'd recommend always using both at the same time, though. See the attached .txt file for more info on this.
There are 2 songs replaced in this modpack not done by me. Drowning (replaced by the version from Sonic 1), and the Starman theme (replaced by a Siivagunner rip of the Sonic 2 invincibility theme).
There are a few songs that are not covered at all in this modpack, and you can see all of them in the .txt document provided.
All of this aside, I started this mod back in May, and I'm super happy that I'm finally releasing it. Hope you enjoy!
