- I'm like, a seventh person who cares about this! Named myself after one of the songs, after all.
After reading that bit about David Wise, I thought I'd mention that it might be worth a shot to simply ask him about releasing a high quality version of the soundtrack. He usually answers emails. I don't know whether he'd have one just lying around, or if there would be any legal gray areas involved, but some of his fellow Rare composers such as Grant Kirkhope have put up quite a bit of their work in various places, sometimes for sale. There's stuff that didn't appear on an official soundtrack release or in a finished game, so a high quality DKC3 GBA seems possible.
On a side note, I'd urge fans of the soundtrack (I don't find very many of you!) to check out the three remixes of DKC3 GBA tracks (Arich Boss, Water World, and Mill Fever) Wise did for E3 2005 trailers that never happened, if you haven't already. They're neat little curiosities.

- @Stilt Village I wish he'd answer. Maybe it's just me...Perhaps I irritated him.

- GBAMusRip DOES extract the synth and wave sounds from Golden Sun, and I assume other Camelot games too, haven't tested yet. The problem is that the soundfont doesn't match the instruments used in the Midis (usually 80-Square and 90-Polysynth).
Using SynthFont+Viena I was able to fix this, and after a lot of trial and error and comparing my results to various other rips, I have now the most accurate GS+TLA soundtrack in the highest quality possible.
Of course, I'm here to share.
MP3/48/320/CBR

- Sadly, that's not actually the synth that are used. If you listen to the actual in game rips you can tell that they aren't 8 bit.

- GbaMusRiper cannot properly rip in-game synths? Because I noticed this with Mother 3, synth replaced with 8 bit sounds in some individual tracks. I was just wondering about this as well.

- DarioEMeloD, thank you for the upload. Of course FLAC would be the highest quality available, not mp3 :)
I am listening now. The drums sound more metallic than I remember from playing the game and having the volume up high, other rips had that, too. But the usual constant hiss/background noise is gone or very silent now. Somehow it still sounds like 128kbps mp3 to me. Have not heard a rip that sounds better, though. Can we have a FLAC of that? I hope this is ok to ask.
Have a nice day! Enjoying now because it seems to be the best rip available!

- The instruments are as high quality as they can be, but there are still some incorrect instruments. You aren't going to get anything clearer unless you record all of the music in an actual Roland SC-88 Pro.

- FLAC here:
Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5 - Part 6 - Part 7 - Part 8 - Part 9
Well I didn't say it's perfect, but if you listen to them you'll notice immediately it's as close as we can get.
MetalKnick, what instruments are you referring to?
- by MetalKnick at 10:05 PM EST on February 10, 2015
- The flute replacing warm pad and charang is not optimal. Also in some songs the 8bit synth doesn't really fit. Someone should record the synth sounds from an emulator. That would be the best thing we could do. Until then, we should look for sound alikes.
Mother 3 has a good warm pad patch for instance. I hate to mix and match, but what can you do lol. I'd show you an example of one of my attempts at fixing songs, but my computer died.
(sorry if my post is confusing, it's 3 AM and I'm really tired)
EDIT: Sorry if I'm sounding rude or condescending or anything! I really appreciate your efforts!

- Thank you very much for the FLAC.
I appreciate this much as well!
Can you please tell me who titled this, I want to find out if the titles are correct.
Sorry for pickiness :)
Have a nice day!
