[Soundtrack] The Classic Sonic Porting Project - Let's get back to it!

I've been thinking of doing this for a while. I've already ported a good portion of Sonic 1's soundtrack, as well as some songs from Sonic 2, 3, and Knuckles. Rather than this project being aimed at porting every single Sonic song, this will be more of a Fill In The Blanks project, only porting songs that have not yet been ported or whose existing ports aren't of the best quality.

SONIC 1
Green Hill Zone - Dioxaz
Marble Zone - Nameless
Spring Yard Zone - Gamma V
Labyrinth Zone - Gamma V
Star Light Zone - Gamma V
Scrap Brain Zone - Gamma V
Final Zone - Gamma V
Special Stage - Gamma V
Boss - Nameless

Sonic 1 Soundtrack
I submitted this to the Music section, only to be notified that Nameless's ports were AMK after it had been submitted. I'll resubmit whenever AMK ports are accepted and keep it here in the meantime.

If anyone is interested in joining this, please post a reply in this thread, and if you have an SPC to show off, please do so.

Flying Battery Zone (Act 1)

Have a quickie. Made for AMK.
I made a more accurate Final Boss theme from Sonic 3, also have a WIP
Those two are made for amk
@Harumi: That FBZ1 port sounds great. The only thing I'd maybe change is the bass, which I think would sound better with @14.

@Skoda: True, but we could use one that's a bit more accurate. I'm sure a little work with @15 and pitch bends could better replicate the record scratch sound.

Also, your Death Egg Act 2 port sounds a lot like my port for Act 1, but the original songs didn't sound all that different either, so I'm not really complaining.

@Pinci: Loving that Big Arm port, but the Azure Lake could use some work. The intro sounds a little off.

@Gamma V: It's exactly the same as Act 1, just with a slightly higher pitch. Try listening to the original version and Act 1 for sure.
EDIT: I'm currently porting Marble Garden Zone Act 1, I'll post it when it's finished.

I recently did Doomsday Zone, but

discards my port, so anyone, feel free to port it.
@Nameless, that bass sounds a tad too loud, especially at the beginning. Other than that, that's a nice port.

That sounds really good, Ruberjig. I was about to comment on the lower half of the @6 chord missing, but I see that there'd be no room for it unless you remove another channel. Also, this track had me thinking you were using samples, but upon looking at the SPC in SPC700 Player, I see that you layered the 2 @1 channels. Well played. This definitely beats the version played in some levels of Hacks 101. :D I'll add it to the OP.

Sonic 3 & Knuckles - Hydrocity Act 2.
(Someone check if this is too loud for you, or is it just me. No really I can't tell.)
@HOTL: I didn't really like it, it sounds empty when compared to original Genesis version.
Here are songs that I did. I'm not saying my versions are better than what you already have, but it doesn't hurt to see what you guys have to say about them:

Sonic 1 - Marble Zone (updated)
Sonic 1 - Labyrinth Zone

Here's one I haven't seen people do and it's not on your list.
Sonic 1 - Act Clear

Tell me what you think of them and if they are worthy to be used at all.
By the way, I would like to call dibs on Sonic 2 - Special Stage if that's okay?

That's way too slow and that last note before the jingle is just off. You may want to speed it up and fix that last note, it really doesn't sound good.

The reason the song is slower is to fit the length of the SMW Course Clear, otherwise it just end too abruptly. I really don't see how a note is off at all, can you explain yourself?

compare

The last note has an additional, lower note that is more prevalent. Your port lacks it, so it sounds really off.
