There was apparently a USF rip that consisted of a few tracks that aren't on whatever version I have.
For example, on the rip I have, I only have 2 variations of Siege on Bowser's Castle, however, apparently, I'm told there was a rip that someone made that had 6 variations. Does anyone have that rip?

Hi TheUltimateKoopa:
I believe that the songs you are referring to can be found here (in mp3 format): https://rapidshare.com/files/642140244/Paper_Mario.rar
Note that the rip isn't as consistently good quality as the ones you posted on brawlcustommusic.com, but it held me over until I stumbled upon yours a few days ago.
I found one song that is missing from your (fantastic) rip - it's the variation on the Dry Dry Desert song that plays when you're at the Oasis.
I was only able to find a version of the song that has the water SFX playing over it, but it can be heard here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NebgBlLsey8
It would be great if you could work your magic and do an SFX-free rip of this song.
Thanks!
I would just like to add that your Paper Mario rip is amazing!! :)
I was specifically looking for the USFs, since I'm assuming those MP3s are the same as the ones I have, where they 'normalised' the music, the trouble is, that the different versions of Siege on Bowser's Castle are different volumes.
I'm looking to record the individual Toad Town Variations without the regular Toad Town music in the background. I don't know if this can be done via USFs, and if not I'm happy to use audio logging in PJ64. Does anyone have any advice?
I assume you mean something like this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1kIu5EEsefw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaMhhdoYqPU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VG7PJRynZI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVbBGky4X_4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEbLTEg4cC8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jadrTWJWj4g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TzsSmaLDsys
I don't think that's all of them... but here's how I did it.
I outputted the main 'Toad's Town' USF, and all these 'variations' in separate wave files (all at the same sample rate -- I used the original USF sample rates).
I then used Audacity, and for each variation, I had the main Toad's Town track, and the variation, in the same file. Then for either one of them (but only one) I used the 'Invert' function, to invert the amplitude, so that one of them is negative, and... basically: Toad's Town + Toad's Town + Variation = Variation + 2 x Toad's Town (which is a much louder Toad's Town with a quiet variation) ... BUT... if you invert one of them, you get: Toad's Town - Toad's Town + Variation = just 'Variation'.
I did this kind of thing with these as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7242KiaYbkw&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXv7br0qVSg&feature=plcp
Yes I know it's possible with USFs, directly, using some kind of hex editing or something... but still, it works.
