CHRONO SYMPHONIC
----------------


General info about the project:
-------------------------------

Chrono Symphonic is a 25 track, two disk album with remixes of 
music from the Chrono Trigger videogame for the Super Nintendo.
Dedicated to the 10th Anniversary of that game, it's freely
available as an official OverClocked Remix site project.

Distribution:
-------------

Chrono Symphonic is distributed in two formats: .mp3 and .flac. 
FLAC is a lossless audio format similar to mp3 except there is no 
loss of quality during the compression. As a result, the file 
sizes are larger than mp3s (around 25-30 mb) but smaller than
the average wav file. For more information on FLAC files, check 
out the official website at http://flac.sourceforge.net.

If you want to burn the .flac files to a CD, you can do so by
extracting them first with any tool you like, then arranging
them as listed in the tracklist (below) in your preferred CD
creation tool. The tracks are already properly cut and arranged, 
pause between tracks aren't needed and should be set to zero.


Information about the sound:
----------------------------

Chrono Symphonic was aimed to sound like a movie score. Therefore
the whole engineering was laid out for that, too. Even though the
orchestra arrangements are almost completely digital, careful
sound engineering made it possible to let it sound as if it was
recorded in a real environment.

The convolution reverb that was used to "simulate" this environment
was the "Promenadikeskus Concert Hall" in Pori, Finland. You can
find more about the concert hall and convolution at:
http://www.acoustics.hut.fi/projects/poririrs/

The tracks are engineered in the K-System Standard. The K-System, in 
short, is a standard, set by audio engineer Bob Katz (more information
at http://www.digido.com), that indicates certain loudness levels. 
Those loudness levels are guidelines for other audio engineers to get 
a hot, but still dynamic mix and is a war-declaration to the volume 
race on the modern media.

Both CDs can be listened to the same volume as you'd watch movie DVDs 
on your preferred amp. No volume adjustments needed; you can listen 
to the full dynamics of the music.
