Music

I hope at least one person out there appreciates this music. The sewer level music, Krang's theme, and Shredder's theme took a lot or work to get right. Some of the other songs took some fancy tricks to record, too.

For you audiophiles out there, the Sidewalk and Burning Building level music both have improper normalization at the beginning. I found a way to fix up the beginning of both songs (they were both contaminated with sound effects) but because the new samples used to correct the beginnings were different than the originals, the normalization wasn't entirely the same. Also, some DC bias was introduced in those corrected beginnings that I didn't correct (again, due to sloppiness). Of course, I'm hardly a professional, so you might be able to hear other problems in the other songs as well.

One interesting side note regarding the music (if you pardon the pun): I swear some of the songs have the voice actor for the Turtles saying the word "shit". I recognized it when first playing the game in the arcades. (see about 2 seconds into the Boss Music, and 19 seconds into the Factory level music for some examples) I don't know, maybe it's just some weird synthesized sound or something. One person has emailed me claiming the phrase was "Shake it!", but I'm still not sure
