Music

Miami Vice contains a single title song which will play through both the AdLib and Creative Music System sound cards. The song sounds similar to the theme song by Jan Hammer. However, Capstone was unable to obtain the rights to the music, so Rick Leinecker had to improvise and compose his own song that sounded like the theme song.

Rick said this about what music editing software he used for the game's music:

I would have created it on the Atari ST. I think I used some sort of Sound Blaster or Roland software. Now I write everything in either Band-in-a-Box or Finale.

Recording

The AdLib recording starts with a 1 and the Creative Music System recording starts with a 2. A Tandy recording may exist, but the game does not run properly in DOSBox under Tandy emulation.

The game lacks audio credits. However, Rick Leinecker has verified working on the game's music. According to Leinecker, he knew how to compose music so it wasn't an issue for the game.
