Today I have completed work on version 2.0 of my Simon the Sorcerer enhanced soundtrack for use with ScummVM. None of the actual tracks have changed (no new instruments, layers etc), however I have extensively changed the compressor settings which can make a dramatic difference to the overall sound. Each track has been given unique settings to add far more vibrancy then the previous version.
This is part of my ScummVM Music Enhancement Project, where I aim to enhance quite a few of the point and click adventure classics MIDI music. I should also let you know that I have changed the titles I will be working on due to time constraints. Flight of the Amazon Queen will now no longer be enhanced by myself, however Touche has been added in its place. I am still undecided on Inherit the Earth and instead of releasing the full soundtrack, I may release individual tracks instead to be used along with the soundtrack provided by the original composer.
