Ahhhhhh XD

Well...

An arranged soundtrack (AST) is when the soundtrack of a game (usually an arcade game) gets rerecorded for the console release (usually on a CD-based console). The original versions of the tracks from the arcade version are referred to as the original soundtrack (OST).

Usually AST tracks simply replicates the songs note for note, replacing the synthesized sound of the original with real instruments. Though ohers (like Tekken 2, 3 and Tag) opt to remix the soundtrack entirely.

To give you an example of OST vs. AST.
