After a few hours on Gleba I've noticed that one music track in particular needs remastering due to some poor clipping issues that are nagging at my eardrums. At first I thought this was something else in the game but after hearing the track multiple times, I can confirm it's the music.

The song in question is the one with reversed piano hits. I would name the track but I can't find the OST listed anywhere to double check for you! Hopefully just knowing "it's the track with reversed elements in it" is enough. In any case, there's a few bits of the song which "clip," meaning instead of hearing the intended sound of, in this case, a piano hit, you're hearing an electronic fuzz, or noise, instead. Mind you, I've been to Fulgora, I know what experimental music you've got in here and I love it, but these clipping noises are most certainly not intentional.

Hopefully you can understand, identify, and fix what I'm talking about!

Hello,
Next time the track comes up, could you enable a debug setting (press F4) "show-detailed-info". It will show the name of the track in top left area of the screen.

At the moment I took this screenshot, there were a bunch of clipping reverse piano hits. The clipping happens at the end of the note, when the hit is at its loudest.

Edit: I got a few more during a different part of the song:

Great, thank you, we'll look into it.

This turned out to be a bug in the variable music system, the fading between samples was not being applied (also timing was a bit off). The samples themselves should be fine.
The issues is now fixed for the next release. Thanks for the report.

Flippin' awesome. Thanks so much!

I'll make a new post if this is still present in the newer version, but here's another spot where Fulgora music gets a bit crinkly crusty in a way that doesn't feel quite right.
