Depends on the game. Music for Batman The Movie and sfx for Zorro for example.

best 8-bit music out there, gotta be the soundtrack.
but in my experience not many C64 games gave you the option, it would play the music but play a sound FX on one channel therefore wrecking the music

Strictly a Euro problem. No American software did that.

the SiD catalog currently stands at 58,100 tunes.
you haven't heard even 1% of them so are not in a position to judge anything.

I looked up a video of Kickman on Youtube and the music is absolutely not how I remember it sounding on real C64.

the C64 had different revisions of the SiD chip that had completely different filters so what sounded great on one C64 sounded bad on another

>> No.10960918

>>10960916
the 6581 sounded different from lot to lot because of variances in the spacing of the traces in the filters due to loose manufacturing tolerances

Not a problem if the game had competent programmers, pic related.
It also had an option to play music only, sfx only, or both.

>>10960754
>it would play the music but play a sound FX on one channel therefore wrecking the music
This was true on all consoles prior CD Audio, playing sound effects meant that some music channels were silent since the sfx played in that channel. Best example is Megadrive games, where you had only one voice channel, which was used for drum beats or character voices. Streets of Rage 2 for example will have the drums silent when a voice or a punch plays (the sound test even had a separate option for voices and sound effects).
Some games like Dragon Ball Z specifically had music using FM only, so voices would never interfere with the music. Drum samples were only used in the title screen music and the endings, where this was not a problem.
Late games like Mortal Kombat 3 used a driver to mix multiple sound channels in software to play back on the single voice channel.
