Things I went back and fixed:

-There was an issue with the envelope of each instrument starting and stopping. It would make a "click" noise if there wasn't a rest or "OFF" between one note and the next. To fix this without sounding choppy, I put the "OFF" just above the next note, with a note delay of 2. That way, it can start the new note properly, without the previous note stopping too early.

-Fixed the way triplets were written. They were a bit rushed before, so I evened them out. This was mostly due to A. not knowing how triplets were supposed to be written anyway, and B. not knowing the second command to change the tempo, so the rate would throw off the timing of note delays.

-Spliced in some tracks that I already had updated as their own stand-alone thing. Notably, the "Ring Grotto" theme, and "Season 1 High Stakes."

-Fixed a lot of brass instruments. Some had too much of a waver effect, some were too "crispy." I made them more strong, full, an smooth.

-Fixed the Oboe instruments. Yes there were multiple oboe instruments for different tones. (Not irl obviously, just for this program.) I find that Woodwinds and Pianos are the hardest sound to replicate on an FM sound chip.

-Fixed a ton of balancing issues. Mostly with basses.

-Fixed the pitch shifting. Pitch shifting is a thing I always to to my genesis music. Like a recording on a cheap VHS, or a warped vinyl. I usually pitch it up or down about 0.3 semitones. Here, I pitched it up for more Freedom Fighter oriented scenes, and down for more Robotnik oriented scenes. (The doubling over sound that sometimes happens is just a side effect of this.)

-Fixed and modified a lot of instruments in "Here's the Plan," and "Go Time."

-Added a scene with sound effects. I kinda just heard it in my head, and had to put it in.

-Added the slight pause and harp arpeggio in "Impending Pummeling"

-Modified some instruments in "So-So"
