You know, it would make things much better if you would just stick this all in one thread (like this one for instance, or even editing this one and putting it in there) instead of splitting it.
Anyway, I figure you're probably looking for this. Do read the text! It's important!. If you cause problems, you will be banned as quickly as possible. If, for whatever reason, you want to ignore that, then please download from here instead. But, if you download multiple files from that second link (I already linked to it for Paper Mario 2), you could possibly cause it to go down, which would make getting the files take much longer.
Anyway, hopefully that helps. And please keep your requests in one place, instead of cluttering up the forum. Mouser X over and out.
they don't have proper file names... they retain the original filename. Also, I didn't realize each channel for each track is a separate file (left and right are separate)
edit: I can mix the channels to create a single file from each pair of files but that is gonna be annoying to do for each one ._.
Information: Again, some explanations are due: This is not just a simple conversion of the DSP files found on the disc, as they have many unnatural loops (clipping, volume changes, channel panning) – which, although you don't hear them during normal gameplay, are very noticeable when listening to the isolated files. What's even more annoying, these problems have been carried over to the OST release in most cases. So yeah, bottom line, I again looped the files manually and patched up all the glitches. Note that this rip uses the higher quality 44KHz OST tracks where it was possible (in that, they were not cut short before the first loop, as happens quite a few times on the CD) and all tracks have two loops and a proper fade-out. I also extracted all beta and trailer compositions from their respective original discs and files, so purists should get excited as we didn't have a lossless corrected release of those before.
Awesome prime, I'll be checking this out. I love your attention to detail, and those imperfections really get to me, too. (FYI links in HCS Forum markup don't include quotation marks)
I'm mildly interested in grabbing the FLAC release, so that I can create improved ADXs for use in Rockbox. Currently, I'm using the original DSP set, converted to ADX.
Primeblue, you don't happen to keep a record of the loop points you used on hand, do you? It'd make things so much easier if I didn't have to "reloop" everything, since you've already done the work.... However, I doubt you've kept a record of this. But I thought I should at least ask first. Mouser X over and out.
That was a crosspost over from GFF, so I guess vBulletin added the quotation marks.
I updated my post with the FLAC link.
Unfortunately no, I don't keep track of the loop points. Mostly because some of the editing is done in multi-track view and I don't have to "classically" loop every file. If I don't forget about it next time I have to set the points manually for a rip, I'll document it a bit better. Might happen with MP2 even, though from what I've heard so far, there are not so many problems with those DSPs.
Yah, I didn't expect you to have the loop points. But if you're willing to try to keep track of them for the future, that'd be awesome! I don't know how many people would utlize them, but I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who would use them (bxaimc might also.... Other than that, I'm not sure....).
Thanks again for your efforts, and thanks in advance for continued effort (and loop point data, if possible). Mouser X over and out.
No, I only did an MP3 rip (mostly converted from the PlayStation 2 ADXs) sometime in late 2005. You can still get it from the original download link I posted here, but I wouldn't bother with it since all the cutscene sound effects are hard-encoded into the files.
Speaking of which, I would love CAPCOM to revisit biohazard 4 and release all missing cutscene music on an extra CD, akin to the BIOHAZARD 2 Complete Track. But that'll never happen. Because they're not that gracious.
