It's Droolie here, the creator of RayTunes.
I was wondering if I could get any help ripping any Rayman soundtracks.
I'm especially interested in Rayman 2: Revolution for PS2, which has been done before ( I think ) by unknownfile, but never posted.
But not only Rayman 2: Revolution, also Rayman 3. As you can see, the soundtrack is already on RayTunes for a long time, but I've been really stupid, because I saved all the mp3's in mono format, and only 128 bitrate, so low quality, which means that I'd really want to rip it again.
But this time, I'd like to rip it from the GC version. I've uploaded a FileCutter archive here, but if that's not enough for ya, I'll upload the complete file in which the music is encrypted.
But I'd also like some help for Rayman Raving Rabbids 2.
As some people here probably already know, RRR2 uses *.wam and *.waa files for its music, but it's unreadable by in_cube.
If you want a sample of a wam file, go here.
That's some request, eh?
I hope you're not scared by the amount of games I request help for.
So... could you please help me?
Thanks,
Droolie.

@ wolupgm6: I check it every month, and I checked it ( and its forums ) now, and it's not there. The only thing that's there is a crappy R2 ( not Revolution ) soundtrack.
@ unknownfile: So? Do you still have it? :)
About the Rayman Revolution soundtrack though... I have the extra tracks on my computer, only two tracks still have to be done. So, it's no problem if nobody here helps me about that one.
I do care about the Rayman 3 soundtrack though... does anybody here know anything... anything AT ALL about that compression?
Thanks.

Then here's another sample.

Can I get some help with Rayman Raving Rabbids 2?

So, does anybody know how to open RRR/RRR2's *.wam files?

And encrypted pcms... maybe.
I think someone said that it looked like Gamecube ADPCM earlier. What's also kinda odd is that the filenames are the same as in the game Beyond Good & Evil ( there are *.wam, *.waa and *.wad files in both games ), and both games use the same engine, the JADE engine. So maybe those formats are similar?
I don't know, really. Can't recognize anything in it... They seem to have a normal RIFF wave header though, but the file only plays silence. :(
only plays silence... only plays silence... only plays silence... only plays silence...
I've got it! convert to mp3 or wav, then amplify using mp3gain or audacity...
also the rayman 3 rip is really good, but anything with andré in it stuffs up. i think its the accent on the e makes the link invalid. track 2, and now 11. dont work. i'm working my way through downloading them, though with only a 100mb limit left i may not test them all.
and dont worry about that mono rip. until you mentioned it, i never knew. and this is coming from someone who burnt a cd and listened to it night and day. i still have your rip somewhere on my mess of a harddisk
oh, and the wad files in bg&e, were they maps? i never got around to analising them (i only did the *.wam and *.waa files)

@wolupgm6: That won't do it. The files are also meant to be a whole song, and they only play for not even a second. :(
I dunno about the wad files really, never got to analysing it myself either. When I got into ripping, Rahly's decoder was already released. ;)
Oh, and the problem with the Rayman 3 rip has been fixed, by the way.
i just wasnt too sure about the wads because they were also used in games such as doom3. and if that is the case, i may be able to build a decrypter.
A wad decrypter would certainly be useful for the maps, but my priority is the music ( *.wam ). ;)
only works for PS2 version for now.
if anyone has the music for the wii version, please upload some files and the coefficient tables so that way this version can be implemented as well :)

And I already uploaded 2 wam files from the wii version. :P
Any DLL That Is Set Like in_******.dll Has Been Dloaded And Put Into Winamp (Now, Winamp Takes Ages To Load Up And Start Each Song). There Was Still No Success, Therefore, I Don't Think I Can Help Much More. I Am Fairly New At This (One Or Two Years Now), But I Think I Should Leave This To The Pros.
Yes, im aware of the 2 uploaded files but more samples could be a bit more helpful though nothing can be done unless we have coef tables.
Here are some more samples:

THIS THREAD IS GOING DOWNHILL
KEEP AT IT, I'LL JUST DELETE THE SHIT YOU SMEARED ALL OVER THIS BOARD
THANK YOU OMOCHAO FOR ONCE AGAIN BEING A HARDASS
And let's keep the stupid down.
I would like to hear it too if it gets ripped :-) Brings back memories.. aaah :D

I don't need help with Rayman Revolution or Rayman 3 anymore, since both of them have been uploaded to RayTunes ( BTW: wolupgm6, the incomplete tracks are reuloaded ;) ).
I do still need help for Rayman Raving Rabbids 2 though.
Also, I might try to rip the music from Rayman Raving Rabbids: TV Party in the future.
Here are two things I also need help with:
- The Jaguar version of Rayman 1
- The remaining tracks from Rayman 1 for PSOne. Here is a link to the files that contain the music ( click "Rayman 1 - Extra Tracks.zip" ).
The files that start with 'RAY' contain sound effects, the files with 'SEP' contain the sounds of the music. Sounds, not the music itself. I think that the *.VB files ( Sony Playstation Wavebank ) contain the sounds, and BIGFIX.ALL has the order to play the sounds in to make it music.
I have also scanned the *.VB files with WOTIZPSX. It says that the files might contain *.VAG files. I'm not familiar with them though, so can anybody help? Thanks. ;)

I took a look at those extra tracks on Rayman 2: The Great Escape after I got the other tracks. I'm wondering how the heck did you get those??
But I also wonder if you noticed that Extra 3 - The Ambience of the Bayou is exactly the same as 1-12 - The Fairy Glade - Part 2?
I've also thought of something else, wherein I might be able to contribute after all. You see, I am able to detect (sometimes, anyway) where the audio loops in Rayman 2's music occur. Sometimes the audio cuts to different points than the original score was composed, it seems. I have taken the liberty of taking two tracks in particular and patching them into a more "correct" order. Once I figure out how best to get them to you, I'd like you to take a listen.
Yoshinkeru/Friendly Floyd, signing out!
How I got them? I ripped them from Rayman Revolution, but they are variations of original Rayman 2 tracks. That's why I put them in the R2 soundtrack as extra tracks.
And no, I hadn't noticed that. Nice to know, but I won't be removing that extra for a while ( not until I update the RayTunes site again ). :P
Also, have you read this post on the Pirate-Community forum? "Synthesis" released a great tool that allows you to rip the original tracks, and he also released 2 zip archives with all the tracks from that version of the game ( in their original order + the unused beginnings and endings of the tracks ). So no need to give me the correct order anymore, because it's all in that soundtrack. I suggest you have a listen. ;)
Droolie.
See, THIS is the kind of thing I LIVE for: the original audio untouched, even if not used in the game.
I can't tell you how much I love it when some persons do all the hard work for me, and I love it even more when I can give my thanks like this!
Ya know, I would have left the ending of The Fairy Glade - Part 1 in, if only just before you meet the Teensies (or simply ending, after you run thru once).
P.S. Oh, I wasn't specifically thinking of Portal when I wrote that subject.
In case anyone else was curious, I had edited two tracks: Riding the Shell and Beneath the Sanctuary of Rock and Lava; those were the easiest to spot the loops and edit them.
