Well guys, the wait is finally over.

After over 100 hours spent tweaking and redoing this project countless times and correcting every little thing I did over and over, I have finally completed this project.

May I present to you, the Metroid Prime Trilogy Original Soundtrack Compilation in FLAC.

Details

Many of you know that this project was first taken up (more than?) a year ago by Assett1. He dropped the project and asked I, his audio mentor, to take it up for him.

I took it up around October and completed it just a few hours ago.

This project consists of the 2 GameCube Metroid game rips from the actual game .iso and the Wii .iso of Corruption. I took the three game rips and dove deep in cleaning them up and restoring them to a nice, smooth, high quality, clean mix. Everything from the actual game disk is intact including the file names except for the vox files. I removed them from the compilation as I felt they were not something anybody would want.

The Remastering Process

Here are the details for the process that I went through.

For each track, the restoration was done digitally and the mastering was completely analog.

1. I took each track, normalized it to -0.1 db.
2. Ran that through a high quality de-clipper.
3. From there I ran that through a manual click and pop remover.
4. That to a re-sampler and high frequency synthesizer so that the high frequencies were restored to their original state
5. I then took that and ran it through a de-constructor and removed some of the digital distortion and details that should have never been there to begin with.
6. This then was ran through a volume leveling program.
7. Each track was double-checked for quality accuracy and made sure it was clean enough for mastering.
8. The output of this was then run through a complex analog mastering setup. I first decided on having a -72db dynamic range for every track. I got the hardware to a noise level of almost non-existent. (I had to borrow some hardware from a friend)
10. I set up an analog reverb at around -40db for dynamic range and detail beyond the 16-bit original file.
11. Then through an exciter to refresh the the entire spectrum and remove the dull sound quality of the original files.
12. This into a nice 2-band compressor for bringing out the smooth bass harmonics and mid harmonics the exciter created.
13. This goes into a nice pre-amp to add some life back into the audio.
14. This into a 4-band compressor to add some richness.
15. This into one of my favorite equalizers.
16. Then I mixed this down to a reel-to-reel tape. (This put me back quite a lot as that tape gets expensive very quickly!)
17. From here I go to an excellent stereo widener.
18. This into a soft limiter
19. Whatever went over 0db was caught by the excellent limiter I had directly after that.
20. I then had one of my favorite limiters setup after to catch any overs that the other limiter might have missed.
21. The output of all this was recorded into my PC via my EPIC (emphasis on epic) capture card into Adobe Audition at 96khz/24-bit.
22. The output was down-sampled to 44.1khz sample-rate (almost pointless as that my reel-to-reel is a classic and starts sloping down at 17-ish khz)
23. The file was also dithered to 16-bit with one of my favorite digital dithering setups that gave exactly -72db of dynamic range but you can hear as far as -144db with it.
24. This was then exported to a .wav file, encoded to MP3, tagged, and when the entire thing was finished, packaged, and uploaded. You have the output of that huge process.

The Philosophy

From the start I knew this was going to be a huge challenge.

There were many things in these tracks that really plagued the original files. Most of the synthesizers in this project's recordings were analog and recorded to tape way too hot or cheap digital equipment that distorted way to easily. Most of Corruption was clipped. Either way, the tracks were horrible quality to begin with. When I first heard it, it sounded like a bunch of distortion, clipping, noise, and bad quality synths. I feel like the restoration process was more difficult than the mastering process at times.

The dynamics of the tracks are not squished like I originally intended them to be. At the start of this project I had decided on a controlled dynamic range, with gates and everything, but I realized that this project really called for a completely different take than my usual mastering works. I figured that the analog hardware preserved through the recordings needed to be complimented by an analog mastering process.

After much examination I figured out that the mastering was non-existent and that the mix was taken directly to digital files and into the game. There was no mastering involved in any of the three games! This opened the entire project up for me. I could really do what I wanted with this after all.

I tried to let the mixes retain their original feel while enhancing the track from every angle. There is not one part of each track that was not enhanced. Everything from the dynamic range, to the high frequency extension and imaging has been enhanced, controlled, and/or cleaned up.

These mixes needed to be dynamic, yet the loud parts needed to scrape against the limiter. It needs to be transparent. The imaging needed to be realistic, yet soak you in the instruments. The depth needed to steal your soul. The dynamics needed to go as low as you could possibly hear. The audio needed a space to breathe in. The color needed to breathe and be very warm and open. The instruments need to sound like they were meant to be. The distortion needs to match and blend with the digital distortion provided in the mix. The audio needed to be musical in every aspect. The compressors, the harmonic excitements, distortion, everything needed to enhance the musical experience.

But it needed to be controlled as well. How much is too much? That was just as hard as everything else. It can't be so transparent that it sounds fake. The mix needs to be dynamic, but not too dynamic that is blows you away. The loud parts needs to scrape against the limiter, but not every time it gets forte. The dynamics need to be as low as you could possibly hear, but still audible as anything farther is pointless. It needs a space to breathe in but the space can't devour it. The coloring needs to be warm and open but not too much of either. The distortion shouldn't be noticeable unless the instrument is using distortion as an effect. The instruments should sound like they were meant to be but not artificial. Everything needs to be musical but somehow accomplish all of the above.

After over 75 hours of tweaking just the mastering process, I finally achieved a high quality, controlled but perfect mastering setup. Each track would use the same setup for variety of sonic quality.

I feel like with this entire project, I achieved a perfect balance between what I want it to sound like, what the music called for, what people expected it to sound like, all while having variety for every track.

I feel that what you will download is the highest possible quality rendering of the game's music exactly how it should be. (I left the drop-outs and glitches for that authentic feel) Exactly. If you hear this mix over a nice flat system, you'll hear exactly what I want you to hear. The warmth, the details etc. It's times like this when audiophiles really appreciate an accurate system or headphones.

Before You Download

Before you download, I would like you to think about donating. It isn't required so don't feel like you must. I just ask for people to donate as the tape used for this project was not cheap and the electricity etc. required to run my mastering studio does cost quite a lot. Even if you can give a dollar, it's better than nothing. This project did take more effort than I think anybody really expected, but I think it came out better than anybody expected so I hope that's enough to convince you.

Download Links

Here are the download links to the compilation project in MP3. The originals were in FLAC, but I decided that the package was way too big and there isn't much quality difference between the MP3 and the FLAC to justify a FLAC download IMO. But I may upload it just in case.

It includes the album art as well as all the tags in a high quality format!

Metroid Prime 1: http://www.packupload.com/7VJM0R1NE9N
Metroid Prime 2: http://www.packupload.com/ZUO9H4N48QM
Metroid Prime 3: http://www.packupload.com/P5TJ89EYDOW

I hope you all enjoy the music. I hope it brings tears to your eyes and I hope that above all you enjoy it and that it takes you somewhere you can't quite put a finger on.

After-all, that's what the best music does.

Thanks guys.

Fuck yeah! I will post back once I listen to a couple of tracks!

It is in fact Majora's Mask. :) A TON of work is going to be put into that soundtrack though. It all depends on how much free time I have to put to it. It shouldn't take more than a month to get it finished and put up. Majora's Mask should be out by Feb.

Majora's Mask is a masterpiece, both in gameplay and soundtrack.

I've beaten Ocarina of Time back when I had my N64. I've played a little bit of Majora's Mask, but never really fell in love with the structure of the game. Other people say that you just have to get used to it, I never really did, even after a few hours of gameplay.

It is a really complex game, even bought a guidebook, lol. But for some reason, I adore it much more than Ocarina of Time.

I always felt like Ocarina was lacking the seriousness and darkness that Majora's mask crafted, and very well at that.

Looking forward to the mp3 release. Thanks so much for your hard work on this huge project. Once the mp3 release is available, be on the lookout for a donation from me.

I just looked through part 1's files and it seems like all the tracks aren't tagged. They all have the names straight off the disc, like gen_elevator, gen_puzzle. Is that how it is or does it change once you extract the whole package?

Yes. It was pretty hard for me at first mainly because of the time structure but after I finally figured out how to slow down the time, it was much easier. You should really try to beat it so you can get a better feel of the atmosphere of the music you are going to remaster. ;)

I wanted to keep it as close to a game rip as possible and not a music album. I left all the names of the tracks from the game disk intact. For purists sake. The mp3 will be tagged with the proper names and such just like the Metroid Recon one, but MUCH higher quality.

Aw, are you kidding me? Well, can you update your links and just add a link to a text file with the track names? Cuz I really want the flac files but I don't have the time to manually search for every song name.

I'll put it up when I put up the mp3 links. Although the game disk tags are quite stupid, they do say what is what for the most part.

I don't really have any appropriate words. The Metroid Prime trilogy has been the most influential game series in my life. The music tied to it has been equally effecting. The fact that you've done this and demanded nothing in return (a gentle, justified nudge towards a paypal donation doesn't count)... There are no words. You have my deepest gratitude Mr.Assett2. I tip my hat to you/raise a toast to you/make a donation to you... Thank you so, so, so much.
Also.
Being the low/mid-fi audio enthusiast that I am (being a self-supported, loan-avoiding, full-time college student limits your budget a bit) I'm not qualified to give a final verdict of any sort. But holy cow. This sounds absolutely fantastic.
Assett1's release was amazing, but this frankly blows it out of the water completely. (don't tell that to him though. I'm still eternally grateful for his initial (re)master.)
I'm gonna have to burn some disks and play them through my playstation-1/dayton-b652 setup to see how that sounds,
but for the moment I'm perfectly content with drooling.
This is incredible, fantastic, praiseworthy work.
I wish I could donate more to you.

Man, I'm done waiting. I'm not waiting for a couple more weeks. I'll just name the tracks myself...

I sound ungrateful but I am. You took this time to give us the trilogy OST that will probably sound the best it ever will.

While I've been pumped for the track, I'll wait until the MP3 release. My internet just won't handle that much stuff at the moment.

To Packupload!

Good thing my downloads are complete.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news....

But....

"The file you attempted to download is an archive that is part of a set of archives. MediaFire does not support unlimited downloads of split archives and the limit for this file has been reached. MediaFire understands the need for users to transfer very large or split archives, up to 10GB per file, and we offer this service starting at $1.50 per month."

EDIT: Darn, ninja'd by 12 whole minutes?

---------- Post added at 08:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

Can someone kindly re-upload to a site that doesn't do that? :P

Really sucks that Mediafire has gone this way due to incidents with Megaupload and the like. Makes you wonder how long it'll be before all these file hosting sites do this. :(

---------- Post added at 03:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:11 PM ----------


Good thing my downloads are complete.

You should assist in uploading to Packupload then so others can get the files too and the weight of the uploading the OST is not solely on Assett2.

I'm already trying to fix the issue. Due to donations already, as soon as they are finished pending, I will upgrade to pro so you can all get back to downloading... stupid mediafire

This means that donations will have to be a part of this project and to keep it going donations will be needed. Sorry guys....

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:25 PM ----------

I only have $17.00 on my donation account. If you want to keep using Mediafire, And have access to a single archive file of this project as well as the split archives, I need to raise atleast $28.00. Donations are needed or the files need to be uploaded someplace else...

Do you think packupload is worth it? Should I go ahead and get premium on it and re-up everything?

EDIT: It seems that packupload is free. I'm re-upping to that site. Should be completed by tomorrow. If I get enough donations I can have mediafire and packupload going at the same time, though I'd rather not pay for mediafire :P

EDIT 2: Uploading the split archives to packupload is going to take around 12.5 hours with my shitty upload speed so if ANYBODY has faster internet than 66kbps upload, could you PLEASE upload all 16 parts to packupload with a registered account and PLEASE share the links so I can get this project back online? Thanks in advance.

Thank god I started downloading soon after the upload. Almost done here! When you reup, can you please put a link to the track names?

You can find the track names on Metroid Recon under their Prime 1, 2, and 3 rips. I don't have the time at the moment to compare and tag the tracks.
If you want to tag the tracks, you can download all three of the game rips off metroid recon, compare the rip you got from me, and tag the tracks. Otherwise, I'll have the list up in 12 hours. If you want it before then, you can do it yourself. Sorry >.<

As for uploading, I'm including the new art for the project as well as the games as separate downloads. Be 5 tomorrow morning the project should be back up and running... As long as nothing happens....

Urk. Fine, fine. And Mediafire is a bitch sometimes. But if you keep clicking the link, you can bypass it and let you download. It's a pain but it should still work. Keep clicking, that's the key.

---------- Post added at 04:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

Fully downloaded. Post back when I have a listen!

Yeah, but what if I have to do that with all 16 links? :(

So, with PRO, you can upload files of up to 2 GB each, right? Or something...

But do you also need to be PRO to download 2 GB files?

Usually, once you break through, it lets go by the rest of the package.

As I understand it, Assett2 becoming a pro-member would make the 16-part 200mb archives available for download again. I don't know what the case would be if he re-upped in 2gb chunks, but I doubt non-pro members would be able to download it.

From what I've listened to, it sounds absoluutely beautiful. Just absolutely crazy quality work here.

I'm actually re-uploading it to packupload in 700mb archives. 2 archives per game. The games are separate and include new artwork.

I believe you do have to be a pro member to download the 2gb links, sadly. But like I said, in 12 hours I'll have updated links that are only 2 archives per game and the games are separated.

When you upload the mp3 version, will you also have to be a pro member to download?

This is awesome. Look forward to listening to this.

In the Part 2 (echoes) folder the track numbers go up to 38, then skip to 54. Are there a few tracks you forgot to put in?

not quite. Packupload is entirely unrelated to mediafire. No pro-membership required. It'll eventually go the same way that all the other filesharing sites go. but for our purposes atm, it's perfect.

it's not that easy. once the curtain drops, you can't shove it aside. It's like an elevator. You can't make it go faster (or in this case, un-block the file) simply be pressing the button a bunch.

try uunpluggin your modem, and plugging back in, and try again ;)

Still stuck with above files, but I can still re-download the other ones multiple times, without one single msg :S. Weird

Not only is the numbering system not correct ie; it skips numbers, but I didn't process the vox files. Everything else from the disk is there.

Try doing what Faeel said.

Just an update, I'm gonna be busy for the rest of the night. I'm gonna leave my pc on overnight uploading. I'll post the links around 10:30 tomorrow morning. If anybody has a faster internet connection, it would be great if you could upload what you've downloaded for others to use if they can't access the mediafire links.

Out of curiosity, do you have any estimate of how big the mp3 version will be?

About your first rip, I've got it all tagged but it's missing the Chozo Ghost song. I'll just keep that from the Asset1 rip, so no big loss. Everything else is there though.

Well, too bad, I need to wait until someone else uploads it somewhere :/

By the way, I like your Process description xD

nice 2-band compressor
one of my favorite equalizers
an excellent stereo widener

I don't know, something about the choice of words seem weird xD

and I hope the Equalizer didn't change the Song too much, because if you equalize to heavy, the song gets altered to much, becoming almost more of a remixing than a remastering :P Key word is almost here, you aren't really changin the melody or the rythm or anything, you would just change on which frequencies are locust the most.

To the OP:

I love you! Thanks for the work.

Corruption was so easy to rename! All the names were already there, just needed to erase the odd number and word.

I didn't go into the process description much because I don't want to reveal my mastering process but rather just explain what the sound went through for people who are curious.

And I'm pretty sure I know how to use an equalizer after 15 years of mastering experience and a bachelors degree in recording arts, haha ;)

I''m downloading Part 8 of it, using JDownloader. Part 1 to 7 get "Fatal Error"
Just sayin', cannot wait for it!

The second album is complete, save for the main theme. I pulled it off Recon so again no biggie.

Is that 250 kilobytes per second upload speed? Or 250 kilobits per second upload speed (i.e. ~31 kilobytes)?

You say about 800 MB, and about 6 hours, which is about 38 kB/s or 303 kbps <___<

I know mine's 1 Mbps (~125 kB/s) for upload so if I had to upload 800 MB it'd only take about 1.8 hours....

I say 'only' relative to 6 hours, unless I'm getting the wrong idea :P

What are the names on the track? The tracks aren't numbered and the only missing ones I found were Chozo Ghosts from MP1 and the main title theme from MP2.

Some of the tracks I didn't recognize so I gave them a name based on the filename. It would take too long to name them side by side with their original tracks as I've already renamed them. If you sort your tracks from shortest to longest, here's the tracks. If you find the missing tracks, these will be more comple and of higher quality than Recon's, so you ought to send them in!

There you have it!

Is that the complete tracklisting for both MP1 and MP2? They both seem awfully small.

[QUOTE=Arigeitsu159;2246641]Is that the complete tracklisting for both MP1 and MP2? They both seem awfully small.[/QUOTE

Yes, it is. That's what I thought too but it has every song!

prolly because all the Variations are edited into one track.

Probably like Faleel said. Cause in Prime 2 when you first enter the Temple Grounds there is no fade in in the music but after that every other time throughout the game it fades in. Don't know if there would be 2 seperate files for that unless it's under a different name here.

Actually, there are a couple of tracks I've never heard seperate from each other such as Space Pirates and Lurking Pirates in the first one. And the ruins tracks.

I see there are a bunch of Ruins tracks and Chozo Ruins with long track lengths. That really has me curious now.

The ruins tracks are really just ambient sounds but the whole thing sounds awesome.

Sweet. I'll be listening to these on 5.1 surround speakers so even if it is ambience it will still sound eargasmic!

Interesting. The soundtracks I have at least 54 tracks each and there were no duplicate tracks. I guess I'll have to check it out.

Here are the tracks I had from the rips I had. Metroid Prime 1 and 2 ripped by PrimeBlue and Metroid Prime 3 from Metroid Recon.

Well, the reasons for the lesser number of the tracks of mine is that I deleted some of the ones I didn't like, lol. Though they were mainly some 5 second jingles and near duplicates, particularly in the second one, as therre were exact copies of some songs and jingles.

Interesting. The Prime 2 rip I have has 70 tracks, no duplicates and also has arranged versions. I don't remember where I got it from though cause I've had it for like 6 years now. I have the offical OST for Prime 1 at the moment so I wouldn't know about that one.

The soundtracks each numbered around 50-60 when I got them. It was a big pain to rename them though!

There you have it!

Excellent! And this is the order that the music is on the folder that I uploaded, correct? And which tracks did you leave out? Hopefully I can get the mp3 version up before tomorrow.

EDIT: Nevermind. Did you leave out any tracks? If so, which ones?

I did leave out some tracks mainly some of the very short jingles and in the second one i left out the copies of the songs that were in the first, and I can't give you them as they've been deleted off my computer. Chozo Ghosts and Echoes are all that's needed to make it complete.

Chozo ghosts was in it. I found it and I'm including it in the mp3 release. You prolly just missed it :P

Oh really? What about Echoes?

Oh really? What about Echoes?

I'm comparing and tagging. I'm only on track 15 of Prime 1. Havn't gotten to echoes. I'm pretty sure the title theme is there though. Again, you probably missed it. :P

Would be interested in hearing the "arranged" tracks you have if you're willing to share those. If not, no bigee, but definitely sounds intriguing.

Sure. There's 3 arranged versions.

MP2AT.zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?fwzg9nddj9289u2)

I think the Echoes folder is missing the track for Agon Wastes.

Prime 1 is compressed, tagged, compressed, and is being uploaded right now. I'll post the link up soon.

Is the FLAC being reuploaded or just the MP3 version? I'd love any of them, prefer the FLAC, but I'd love any of them :D

YES!! Can't wait!

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 PM ----------

Also wondering the same as the guy above me

Is the FLAC being reuploaded or just the MP3 version? I'd love any of them, prefer the FLAC, but I'd love any of them :D

I'm debating on re-uploading the FLAC and just using the MP3 version as the project release. It's easier to manage 3 files around 300mb each vs. 6 at 700mb.
And from a compatibility point of view, MP3 is almost universal where FLAC isn't mainstream enough for me to feel comfortable with just a FLAC release. Plus who REALLY wants to download a 3gb split file? :P

YES!! Can't wait!

It's entirely up to you if you want to re-up the FLAC version. But like you said, mp3 is more universal. Again, it's up to you.

If you can reupload FLAC later one, yay!! If you can reupload just MP3, yay!!

It's entirely up to you if you want to re-up the FLAC version. But like you said, mp3 is more universal. Again, it's up to you.

I'll stick to mp3 and if I start getting more requests for FLAC than people downloading the mp3 version, then I'll upload FLAC as well.

Sounds like a plan.

I'd stick with focusing on MP3 for now. But guaranteed, I'll be a FLAC downloader too when it's up!

I think the Echoes folder is missing the track for Agon Wastes.

I don't think it is. I might have tagged Agon Wastes as one of the tracks I didn't recognize and improvised upon
.

who REALLY wants to download a 3gb split file? :P
*raises hand*
I do!

Actually, I have one corrupt archive. 09 to be exact. I can extract all the tracks up to that point, but from 09-onwards, I can't listen to anything (Skytown! Steamlord! Sky temple! NOOOOOO!). If you (or anyone else) could somehow get that single archive-file to me, I'd greatly appreciate it. Like alot.

I hope you can find the time to upload the FLAC version later, but if not, I'm sure I can get it from one of the other members around here.

Once again, thank you so much for this project. What I've heard is mindblowing (as I stated earlier) and I eagerly look forward to hearing the mp3 release when it comes out!

(also, if anyone around here still has the archived rar's and wants to drop 09 to me somehow (dropbox, mediafire, whatever), I'll love you forever)

Yeah, see those? I used those for disk 1 (MP1)

I thought they could be MDR-SA3000's but they obviously aren't.

Does anyone know if Packupload allow for multiple simultaneous downloads like Mediafire does or no?

It does, but according to DragonIIDX it's very slow :/

Yeah, it's going about the same speed for me.

But I can just let them all run through the night, so I'm fine.

Slow? Maybe it throttles depending on how many people are downloading it at once. Because I downloaded Prime lightning fast, took like a minute.

It does, but according to DragonIIDX it's very slow :/

Well the first time I tried it said 18.7 KB/second so I cancelled, then registered and tried again and the download speed is the same. At 7% now with 17.8 KB/second.

I downloaded with 400 KBs/s in just under twenty minutes.

They are...The Gioteck EX-05 military style headset.

Yah, it probably has throttling. I was wondering how they get away with not charging :P

I'm not getting throttled at all. Just tried to redownload, same speeds of over 1400 KBs/s. Here, I'll reupload it for you guys elsewhere.

But I don't know squat when it comes to headsets.

Thanks for answering though. I was thoroughly baffled.

Also, McAfee sees packupload as a dangerous site for me. Don't know if that would affect the download speed though.

It might. Not many other people are having the issue you're having :/

Corruption is being uploaded as soon as echoes is finished. (25 mins)

Try and delete Microsoft .net RUNTIME 4.0 if you have it. If you don't, disable WMI Provider host. Both of them.

When I got Terraria, it required Runtime, and since then, my net was shit. About the same as yours actually, only I was lucky to hit 10-15 kb. Deleted it a few hours ago and My internet is shining like it was never affected. WMI provider host, particularly the one hosted by NETWORK saps your net.

You asked for it. ;) Like I said before, this is the greatest thing that has ever been uploaded to this site!!!! Every track has spectacular quality that went beyond my wildest expectations. Every track envelops me as if I was actually in the Chozo Ruins, Temple Grounds, Skytown etc. This is the real deal platinum quality that these games music properly deserved. You need to contact Nintendo and Retro Studios with this because they need a kick in the rear for not releasing these soundtracks properly and you could teach them a lesson or 2 on how to do mastering! I plan on making a paypal account so expect a donation from me later. Not going to say how much because I want to surprise you. :)

Oh, thank you!

Oh it sounds amazing! Looking forward to your future releases! :)

And from a compatibility point of view, MP3 is almost universal where FLAC isn't mainstream enough for me to feel comfortable with just a FLAC release.

ALAC and APE aren't mainstream enough, whereas FLAC is open-source and natively-supported by every player. 5 years ago I could've understood the compatibility argument since I used to have an iPod as well. However, these days even smartphones support FLAC through workarounds, so there really is no ultimate argument for MP3 aside from the filesize.

But I digress, the MP3 version of this thing is just as good. It all depends on the source, and the source is of perfect quality so there really is no issue here at all. Still, for future generations a FLAC release would be nice (it is an archiving format after all), so if you can find the time to upload the FLAC version someday, that would be great. But the MP3 version is fine for me at the moment, and personally I would hate to upload several GB worth of music AGAIN myself XD.
I don't care if it takes the whole year, I'll wait for the FLAC version to arrive someday. Until that happens, enjoy your badge for releasing one of the best albums in ffshrine history!

Oh wow, Thank you so much for this! You did an EXCELLENT job!

Did I miss something or am I too dumb to find this track in the mp2 soundtrack? Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Music- Title Screen Intro Theme - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLOkc9MwFHs)

When you put out a release this good quality-wise, it deserves a proper FLAC release, and many users do appreciate the difference in audio quality. Great job and I hope you'll consider uploading the FLAC!

Uploading Metroid Prime 1 in FLAC and with tags(atleast filenames & inside Winamp). Will update when the upload is done! Gonna take ~3.5h I only have 80kB/s upload :(

Did I miss something or am I too dumb to find this track in the mp2 soundtrack? Metroid Prime 2: Echoes Music- Title Screen Intro Theme - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oLOkc9MwFHs)

For some reason it wasn't on the part of the game disk where the rest of the music is, so I couldn't include it in the release.

ALAC and APE aren't mainstream enough, whereas FLAC is open-source and natively-supported by every player. 5 years ago I could've understood the compatibility argument since I used to have an iPod as well. However, these days even smartphones support FLAC through workarounds, so there really is no ultimate argument for MP3 aside from the filesize.

But I digress, the MP3 version of this thing is just as good. It all depends on the source, and the source is of perfect quality so there really is no issue here at all. Still, for future generations a FLAC release would be nice (it is an archiving format after all), so if you can find the time to upload the FLAC version someday, that would be great. But the MP3 version is fine for me at the moment, and personally I would hate to upload several GB worth of music AGAIN myself XD.
I don't care if it takes the whole year, I'll wait for the FLAC version to arrive someday. Until that happens, enjoy your badge for releasing one of the best albums in ffshrine history!

Thanks for your input! I'll def. try and get the FLAC files uploaded this week! But I don't want to go through all that tagging that I went through with the MP3 so I'll use it just as an archive. Thanks!

You asked for it. ;) Like I said before, this is the greatest thing that has ever been uploaded to this site!!!! Every track has spectacular quality that went beyond my wildest expectations. Every track envelops me as if I was actually in the Chozo Ruins, Temple Grounds, Skytown etc. This is the real deal platinum quality that these games music properly deserved. You need to contact Nintendo and Retro Studios with this because they need a kick in the rear for not releasing these soundtracks properly and you could teach them a lesson or 2 on how to do mastering! I plan on making a paypal account so expect a donation from me later. Not going to say how much because I want to surprise you. :)

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoy listening to it as much as I loved making it! :) Any donation is good, even if it's a dollar, it helps out. Thanks in advance!!

So, I'm downloading #1, without signing up.

1040 kB/s - Roughly 4 minutes overall <_<

Is hardly anyone downloading this at the moment? I was expecting to get like 100 or something much lower.

It was ridiculously slow for me last night but got better later after I was browsing through system files. It might have been because everyone was downloading at the same time.

Thanks for the remasters. Im downloading now, will give feedback later... I would also like to hear your expert opinion about my 5.1 versions of DKC songs (link at signature), if you have time ofc.

Edit: I'm listening to Torvus Bog Entrance (my favorite song in the Prime series) and making a comparison with my older OST file... The quality is great and the difference is like night and day. Thanks for making me listen to the whole OSTs again... can't wait for your next project (please do Majora's Mask!)

Thank you so much! Always wanted the FLAC-version, cause really, FLAC is the best quality. Hope you can upload Metroid Prime 2 and 3 soon! Didn't work download the fileupload ones yesterday!

And thank you so much Assett 2 for all your hard work and top notch quality production on these games! I am a broke sod, but if I had the moneys, I would donate 10 dollars for you! You have done the gamingcommunity a great service, let's put this in the archives for safekeeping for another 100 years!

Alright, having listened to all three albums, I have two simple gripes about the whole thing. First, I want to say that the album is borderline absolute perfection. You put the masters Koji Kondo and Kenji Yamamoto themselves to shame.

First: Both the "main themes" of Metroid primes 2 and 3 are three minutes long, yet the Main theme/intro of metroid prime 1 are just over a minute long, is there a reason for this?

Second: The title screen from MP2 Echoes was one of the highlights of the game. Do you plan to snag a good version of the song and release it remastered and such?

Agreed with Darkshadowmark. The title theme is one of the best songs in the game in my opinion. Also, Agon Wastes is the other missing song from Prime 2. Otherwise it's all here. It's up to you though.

Excellent work man! Thank you!

Also, I have to say, before, I actually strongly disliked Dark Samus' boss theme. But your remaster makes it sound actually decent and I like it now.

Which is totally

Are you talking about the one from Echoes or Corruption? Because the one from Corruption has always been awesome.

The one from Echoes. I forget what the Corruption one sounds like. Gimmie a sec'

From both actually. I didn't like the grundge and grinding in the original. The remastered version cleans them up well.

Yes. I think the Corruption version was a big improvement over the Echoes version but it's still not quite as good as some of the other boss themes. They both sound great now though.

Are the "Meta Ridley" themes from Prime 1 and Prime 3 exactly identical?

Are the "Meta Ridley" themes from Prime 1 and Prime 3 exactly identical?

Yes.

What other tracks are there that are used in more than one game without any changes?

What other tracks are there that are used in more than one game without any changes?

The Mission Final music is in all the Prime games including Hunters and Pinball I believe. It's not included in this for Corruption though.

"Samus Intro Fanfare", "Item Aquisition Fanfare", "Minor Item Aquisition Fanfare", and "Puzzle Solved" recur in all the games.

I think the save station music for MP1 & MP2 are the same, MP2's elevator music is the same as MP3's save station music, MP1's Metroid Breakout/Chozo Ghost track reappears in MP3, MP2's "Dark Samus Approaching" & MP3's "Dark Samus in the Heart of Phaaze" are the same, MP1's "Phazon Mines Ambience" & MP3's "Corrupted Phazon Pool" are the same, and MP1's "Impact Crater Main Theme" & MP2's "Phazon Region" are the same.

Oh yeah. Now that you mention it, I guess there was quite a few they re-used.

I can agree with that.

Why fix what wasn't broken? I mean in terms of Music itself, not the remastery. THAT DONE HAD TO BE DONE.

I suppose some of those tracks were just too perfect to not re-use again or alter in some way. Also, another song that sounds similar is Bryyo Ice. It's not exactly the same as Phrendrana Drifts ambience, but it's very similar.

If the Metroid Prime 2 Echoes Main Title theme really is missing from the Assett's OST, someone should get him that track so he can remaster it.

I did notice MP1's Title Theme wasn't looped though and cuts abruptly. :-( Ditto on the Menu Theme.

I can upload them right now. Got it from Metroid Database. I think the quality is good. No static or anything. I'll also send him Agon Wastes since that one is also missing.

Well, I was under the assumption that someone had provided NSF (or whatever) files for all songs. I think Ultimate Koopa did. I'm just surprised that the NSF's he gave Assett were incomplete. No need to upload those tracks as I already have them from this other soundtrack collection I owned previously. But thanks though. :)

Don't start up that flame war again. lol.

Metroid DB isn't exactly...good...at all...like...seriously.

Might want to hunt down some high quality rips or find the regular soundtrack of the game and give him that. Maybe find the flac for him as well.

I'm downloading it now.

Thank you for this excellent upload. I am Playing through Metroid Prime 1 on the Wii for the first time. 5 hours in and it's glorious. Wish I would have played it when it was released.

By the way, I love your avatar Darkshadowmark! I look just like that Link every morning.

Over 1 hour later... it looks like Agon Wastes in going to be in part 2. Here's the Title Theme. Tell me if you guys think the quality is better than you know what. :P

Hey Mr.Asset2,

Were the NSF files provided to you correct for Metroid Prime's Main Title and Menu themes (Tracks 01 and 02)? They lacked a looping and didn't have a fade out like the other tracks.

I got them from here. Thread 119086 It says they're directly from the games files. I converted the mp3s myself but the FLACs are from the source.

Hey Mr.Asset2,

For some reason, my mp3 encoder messed up and cut the tracks into 1/3 of what they were supposed to be. I'll have them fixed and uploaded soon.

This is phenomenal Mr. Assett. Many thanks!

Are these meant to output on 5.1 speakers? I have 5.1 logitech speakers and the middle one and the two extra side ones don't output very well. They are half out putting and half static. I never use them so possibly they aren't broken in? I don't know much about speakers.

Awesome, awesome job here! I would like to say though, aside from the missing MP2 tracks already mentioned, there's a couple other ones that I should mention. First, for Metroid Prime 1, if you go to the Trilogy disc's sound test and choose Prime 1's Meta Ridley theme, it actually plays an alternate version of Meta Ridley, and you don't seem to have that one here.

Second, the Dark Trooper Battle Theme actually seems to be slightly different in the original Prime 2 disc. I'm wondering if it's possible to get this version as well? You seem to have the Trilogy disc version. This one's actually not too important to me though, the difference is really negligible.

Finally, Bryyo is pretty majorly extended in the Trilogy disc. Just wondering if you could get this version too? Also Korakk Beast has an added layer of instrumentals in the Trilogy disc, so you can add that as well. I can't really provide these tracks since they're...low quality. Nowhere near FLAC. I just want to make sure this as complete as possible, since these tracks sound so great with your remastering. Also...Prime 3 seems like it might be a little on the short side too...is it maybe because a lot of its tracks are sequenced or something? My rip has about 67 tracks.

This is stereo, not 5.1. Stereo is two channel and if played through a 5.1, should not be in surround sound.

Prime 1 and 2 are from the gamecube disk rips, not the trilogy. The name of the project is called the trilogy because it features remastered soundtrack from the original 3 games. I don't want to feature music from the trilogy version as this is not supposed to be a rip from it.

Alright noone download this for a couple of hours, I'm trying to get it. All I'm getting is download timeouts and page load fails. Any chance of an uploaded.to mirror? I am so keen to hear this remaster. So keen! Thanks for all your work in this, though I'm yet to experience what will surely be (auditory?) bliss. :>

Thank you so much. I just listened to MP1 last night. It was amazing! I found out I can add effects to my speakers like "concert hall" with realtek audio manager. It kind of made it seem very rich and full. Mind you, if I used those settings when someone is talking, it sounds like an insane echo chamber, but with music, it doesn't do that. I wasn't even aware of those settings till last night.

Awesome man, thanks ! That's one of the best uploads I've ever seen on this forum :)

Sadly, I can't download this music, it says that the server could not be found.
Tried different Browsers, and it just wont work.

So, could somebody maybe reupload these on to a different hoster, so I can also download the music?

Actually all of you guys, who wrote here, said, that these songs are so fricken awesome, and I want to hear these masterpieces as well!
Please, please help me!

Thank you very much!

If you wanted a massive echo, you could've just downloaded assett1's remaster! I highly discourage adding any effects onto these tracks, they were built perfectly for stereo.

Like arceus said, Concert Hall is too echoey. I have the same options as you do, and I have "Environment" and "Speaker Fill" enabled and it sounds great. Try those.

Thank you so much! For those who still need it, I mirrored Prime 1. I might as well mirror the others too.

Anyway, having a listen and I'm not much of an audiophile but the improvement from whatever rip I already had to this is amazing. So much depth to it :D
Anyone with a decent post count can PM me for an upload to your preferred host if want :> This must be available to all! This is the MP1 mp3 ver. btw 318MB

All these people are complaining about filehosts and such. Asset2, might I suggest going to Stereoelf here on ffshrine? He has this massive thread called The Monster's Club and every one of the links have multiple file hosts. It might be useful for future project uploads. He's a nice guy, I'm sure he'll help you out. Tell him disgaehavk sent ya!

Downloaded the FLAC version of Metroid Prime 1 and I must say the sound quality is fantastic. Much obliged for your hard work on this project!

so.... is there a link for the FLAC version still online? I really liked the mp3 version, but I still prefer FLACs

Thanks for the MP1 in mp3 mirror. Hope the others get mirrored also.

I bring you shiny mirrors! All MP3.

Erm.... do you even know what NSF is? I hardly think a GameCube game with streamed music will feature sequenced audio data from a NES ROM.

Any update on the missing tracks, assett?

Any update on the missing tracks, assett?

Since people have supplied them, and I know that the FLAC files are floating around somewhere, I see no need to change anything on the thread :)

Also, I'm starting on Majora's Mask and I need somebody to supply the FLAC conversions of the audio files from the ROM. My Foobar2000 won't install 64th Note, so I'm kinda stuck. I'll start on the project as soon as somebody can upload the files for me...

The FLAC is, but you gotta find somebody to upload them for you if you want them right now. I'll start the upload for the FLAC files this weekend.

I could probably look for those Majora's Mask files when I get done with work at 12 a.m. Unless The Ultimate Koopa or someone would happen to find them before me... ;)

I just wanted to remind you again, since your next project is going to be Majora's Mask, the USF files that exist in the wild (and the ones from the official 64th note site) have a slower tempo than the real songs. You can check the difference by listening to a USF file and then make a comparison with the same song from another source like the CD OSTs (i hate those CDs, the songs don't even loop once!), a youtube video, the game itself etc.

Just letting you know that, it would be a shame doing all this hard work by using sources that are not correct. And i really want Majora's remasters to be a success. Then again maybe its an easy thing to fix, just rise the tempo for about 10% i guess?

Also, 64th note works with Winamp but i'm not sure about how to convert it to FLAC...

Thanks for the help man. Just one question, how many times do these versions loop?

I just wanted to remind you again, since your next project is going to be Majora's Mask, the USF files that exist in the wild (and the ones from the official 64th note site) have a slower tempo than the real songs. You can check the difference by listening to a USF file and then make a comparison with the same song from another source like the CD OSTs (i hate those CDs, the songs don't even loop once!), a youtube video, the game itself etc.

Just letting you know that, it would be a shame doing all this hard work by using sources that are not correct. And i really want Majora's remasters to be a success. Then again maybe its an easy thing to fix, just rise the tempo for about 10% i guess?

Also, 64th note works with Winamp but i'm not sure about how to convert it to FLAC...

Only a few songs from the official OST suffered from non-looping. If you get the German release soundtracks, you will have every track properly looped.

The European one also has those groovy remixes. I think Mr.Assett2 wants a gamerip though.

This is an awesome project, and as someone who wants to be a music producer myself I am inspired ;__;
I'm still a total noob, the best I can do is edit by cutting or looping stuff...basic stuff like that, on Garageband. Can you spare some advice? Even if I don't understand it, I'll appreciate it for the future.

yeah youre right

So, about that "Majora's Mask" not looping "even once"...

As far as I know, there's the European OST and the Japanese OST (maybe also a separate US one).

One has longer tracks, and loops twice, I think the European one. It's like with OOT. In the Japanese or US soundtracks, Water Temple I think barely goes for 1 minute 40 seconds, but the song itself goes for a good 50 seconds longer, and if you have 2 loops of Water Temple, it should go for over 5 minutes. There's another one, that only runs for about 40 seconds on one OST, but IIRC goes for at least 2 minutes in game.

So, seeing as I have multiple versions of the Majora's Mask OSTs, I could just dish out those which have at least a full version of the songs, if not two loops, and upload them?

I think you should upload the European one cause that's the one that loops twice. I would upload it but the one I have is 128kps. Is yours 320kps?

We don't need to worry about looping because he has said he would loop them twice then fade.

Yeah, and he is working on the USF gamerips not on any of the CD OSTs, at least as far as i know from the posts here.

But if they don't even loop once then they CAN'T be looped twice.

The entire soundtrack has an average bitrate of 781 kbps, because it's FLAC.

Even better. I think you should upload it then.

Were those couple Metroid tracks that were cut off before a loop ever fixed and reuploaded?

No, there are versions of them around that are looped, tagged, and just below Mr.Assett2's quality.

Excuse me, but has Prime 2 been offered in a FLAC download?

Thanks once again for the effort put into this!

Awesome, awesome, awesome! I had the original/demo of Metroid Prime 2 and well the remastered definitely is better. Thanks! XD

Can we have an update on Majora's Mask? Pretty purdy please??

Also curious about the Majora's Mask progress. He got the files 10 days ago so I'm assuming he has quite a lot to do yet before it's done.

thanks epic ost

Sorry guys!
Been busy.
For Majora's Mask, the files were very good. The quality of the source is very good.
So far, I've cleaned up all the tracks. Now actual remastering of the tracks is next.
I'd say they should be completed before the end of Feb. As always, depending on how much time I have.

Awesome. Thanks for the update. Can't wait to hear the Deku Palace and Stone Tower Temple music in your remastered quality!

Thanks for the update! Im more into the melancholic tunes like the song of healing and calling the 4 giants. But my favorite is Astral Observatory. I can't wait hearing it with crystal clear quality sound!

Thank you so much!

Can't wait to hear Great Bay Coast in flac! It's a really sad song and makes me want to cry sometimes. But I love it! Probably my fave MM song.

OH! OH! For your next project, could you PLEASE do Golden Sun 1 & 2? That's a game I would LOVE to hear remastered, especially as there aren't any TRULY AMAZING quality rips out there?

Never mind, I'm ripping it myself in FLAC and distributing it on the site. Thanks though!

Here's my thread for the FLAC & MP3 GS soundtracks!! Thought I'd promote it on here! :)

Thread 127804

Just wanted to thank you for the remaster. These songs bring back all the mystery and wonder of the original games and then some.

To those who tried to download from my thread, the thread is now 100% working, so feel free to start downloading now!

No! Mufasa is the king of the Pride Lands! =P jk... super excited for the Majora's Mask release. The end of the month draws nigh...

These soundtracks really bring back the memories!

You. sir, have earned my Win of the day!

Are you really remastering music professionally? The original hardware outputs this music at 48khz as far as I remember (which is higher than the CD release). You said in the original post that the reel tape rolls off at 17khz (that has to be one channel not both). Any chance of re-doing this? I don't understand why you'd go through so much electricity and hassle unless your learning how to do this stuff.

If you actually LISTENED to the music, not just "heard" it, you would have known he is a professional at this and it is all being done professionally. It has all BEEN done professionally. He KNOWS what he is doing. He has shown us the proof of the work. You ASKING him to re-do a SEVERAL MONTH project to suit your own personal tastes is just an insult and shows how much of a selfish prick you are. "Learning how to do this stuff?" Are you fucking serious? Have you even compared the soundtracks? Paired the melodies of Underwater Frigate Orpheon? Felt the boom of the beat of Phendrana Drifts? Experienced the heart thumping Emperor Ing Theme? I HIGHLY DOUBT YOUR HAVE.

Fucking idiot.

I can't believe you would make such a stupid comment like this after all the hard work he put into this. This was originally assett1's project and he was nice enough to be willing to take over it, so he didn't even have do this. Even after the AMAZING quality he put into it, you would ask him to do it again??? He stated before that he has a degree in mixing so he obviously knows what he is doing. Like Darkshadowmark said, if you actually compare the OSTs to Mr.Assett2's quality there is a massive difference with being Mr.Assett2's version being MUCH better and like he stated, "meant what it's supposed to sound like." Unbelievable...

Jesus fucking christ. You absolute gaytard. Everyone is right, asking him to redo an amazing remaster is beyond idiocy. You ASS.

At the risk of sounding like I'm defending this stupidity, these responses are a tad much.

If you were intelligent enough to see our points, you wouldn't sound like you were defending his stupidity. What he's asking for is just plain wrong.

We were basically trying to say, that after Mr.Assett2 put so much time and effort into this, he complains about something that's not even an issue, and then he has the nerve to ask him do re-do the entire project just because of that... and he also questioned his professional process in which he has a degree in, and has been remastering for x years so he knows exactly what he's doing.

Ha! I had to make this!

You, sir, have gotten another win of the day!
