I'm judging this by ear as a lapsed keyboard player, but it sounds like mostly synth listening to the tracks on the OST.

Though, much like Iuchi intends to do for Shenmue III, it sounds like some live recordings are in the tracks too for instruments you can't easily synthesise (Erhu, etc). Listening to the OST and the orchestral version of the main theme, it's pretty easy to tell the OST is synth because a lot of the backing instruments don't have that 'real' sound.

It really depends how many recorded instruments are in the track, but they could always fade them out, have the synth chords transition, then fade back up recorded instruments.

Most video game music is made using synthesizers. So I think that the soundtracks are very likely to have been made with synths.

Iuchi tweeted about "many, many" great unused Shenmue songs and him only going to compose new music, if they can't find anything which matches. See here: http://www.shenmuedojo.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=48827

In his Kickstarter interview, he talks about there being about 800 tracks for Shenmue in total. http://shenmue.link/post_en/137/?en

So it's not clear, if by "songs" he means compositions or entire tracks.

Can I make a new thread if/when I finish composing my music or should I post it in this thread if/when the time comes?

Wow it's so bad that it made me laugh. :lol: Obviously too much compression there and I don't get your musical purpose while the original one sounds simply better.

At this point, I will just assume the OP is a troll.
