Banjo-Tooie usf? by wkw427 at 10:34 AM EDT on July 3, 2011
Does anyone have these? I remember a long time ago I managed to get the BT and BK ones that didn't have the separate tracks separated, so that the world music were "all in one"
Currently I can only find the all in one banjo-kazooie one, and a banjo tooie one that has the tracks separated.
I'd really appreciate the help. Trust me, I've googled and I can't find it.
So, are you looking for Banjo-Tooie that have "all-in-one", or Banjo-Kazooie with separate tracks? Or both?
In any case, you're in luck! I happen to have any set you're looking for, seeing as how I never did get rid of some of the preliminary rips for both games! Just specify which set you'd like and I'll put it up on SendSpace for ya.
I'm sure this has been asked before, but, does anyone actually know why the most recent USF rips of Banjo-Tooie and DK64 have a small fraction of a second cut off and the beginning of most of the individual songs? And is it something that is possible to fix?
JoshW did a more recent rip with the first few miliseconds actually included. I can't remember WHY it happened, all I know is that it was eventually worked around. Want me to upload?
These are the ones I have sitting around. They're all separate, all tagged and timed (though I'm not sure who by). The rip was JoshW's most recent one though.
He did! But I'm not sure where his final set is. I have a set here, I'm not sure what version it is, who the ripper is (I assume it's JoshW though), or who did the tags, but it seems pretty much perfect to me: Download From Mediafire
Hmm, which tracks are you referring to with the intros cut off, out of curiosity? or at least one good example from that set I uploaded, so I can hear and see if I've got something better, or if I can fix it somehow.
I'm almost certain that's the most final set there is. I'm the one who worked with Josh on the tags (one of the few things I'm actually able to when the occasion calls).
That's Banjo-Tooie. Yeah, I know the topic is about Banjo-Tooie, but the USF we're currently talking about is for Donkey Kong 64. As an example of which track has part of the intro cut off, is Crystal Caves Indoors (081 - Crystal Caves Indoors.miniusf)
Hats off, and all credit to holyice7, that was the rip I had, except mine was missing a few tracks, I'd recommend downloading that link as opposed to the one I posted previously.
As for Dk64, I'll have a listen when I'm back at home (which will probably be in day or so). I played through most of the tracks before uploading the set I did and didn't appear to hear anything wrong, but now that I have a track name where it's present I'll have a look. It COULD be a player problem if that's the case, even though it seems far-fetched, especially given Banjo-Tooie experienced the same problem and it was on the usf end of things.
I had a listen to 081 on the set I have, and it doesn't really sound wrong to me.
Could it just be that since you never actually are in an area where this music is used at the start of the track that the beginning just sounds weird, or is it a very clear case of the audio cutting in halfway between a beat?
To me, it has a kind of tick sound, like it's clearly started halfway between the beat. It does this in other tracks. Try Wrinkly Kong. You can hardly hear the first marimba note because most of it is cut off. Also, the set is 100% exactly like the one I downloaded about 2 years ago, and as I said, it dates from 2006, at least the "Last Modified" date has 2006 in it, anyhow.
Also a perfect example of cutting intro would be K.Rool Duel. As you know the intro consists of triplets, and the first entire note is cut off. Where it should be 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2-3, it goes 2-3 1-2-3 1-2-3 1-2-3.
I see (well, hear) what you mean now. It's almost like the cutoff is perfectly after the first beat (and hence me not noticing it on brief glance). Maybe JoshW didn't actually notice it either? (I know it's slim, but you never know). I think the best bet would be to contact him somehow.
Yeah, the actual cut off is pretty small. Some of the tracks simply have a pop sound where it starts, for example, halfway in the middle of a marimba, so instead of hearing the full "dink" sound, you'll just hear the "nk" part, if that makes sense.
I think you may be right, but my ears aren't trained as well on DK as they were on BK. I'm still not sure what wizardry Josh pulled to make BT work, so I have no idea how to go about suggesting a fix for this.
