This is the full soundtrack for Time Trax recorded at 55hz on the SEGA Genesis. It was recorded from a real SEGA Genesis model 1 for the best audio quality.
I previously recorded this soundtrack at both 60hz for NTSC and 50hz for PAL. Tim Follin said this on another upload of the soundtrack: "regarding the playback speed - yes I composed at 50hz but I was always conscious that it'd be heard at 60hz in the US so I let things be a little slower than I'd have liked on PAL. I think the ideal speed is probably somewhere half way between the two!".
I decided to take him literally and record at 55hz by setting the playback speed for the VGMs to be a bit faster since they were originally 50hz. This speeds up the tracks in the most accurate way with no loss of quality (instead of just speeding up the original recording). I recorded this a while back but someone reminded me to upload it. How do you think this compares to the other two speeds?
