BONUS - Individual RDR music stems, can be combined to form new mixes since the whole OST is recorded at the same bpm. (thanks to _wind_ for uploading this)

After spending the last 2 months on these rips, I finally finished them, and I can say that after MUCH frustration, it was all worth it. RDR fans and fans of music in general are going to love this.

I released a RDR rip last year, and I thought that I recorded most of the music in the game. I was wrong. This rip includes double the amount of music. My previous rip was 10+ hours of music. This is 20 hours! This is a much more complete rip and it is also in order this time. My last rip was just a mess and compared to this rip, it's just terrible...The reason for such a huge difference is hard to explain, but I recommend reading this article to help understand and see why this OST is in my opinion the most epic and unique ever created.

Redemption songs: the making of the Red Dead Redemption soundtrack | Technology | guardian.co.uk (http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/gamesblog/2010/may/26/red-dead-redemption-soundtrack)

If you don't want to read the article, basically the entire OST is created at 130 BPM. This allows to literally layer the tracks and weave them in and out to create fluid transitions between tracks and smooth transitions into different situations. This makes for a large amount of possibilities of combinations of different themes being used together. Also, once I found out that all the tracks are 5 minute loops, or more specifically about 4:30 second loops, I realized how much music I missed my last rip. It is difficult to tell where some tracks start and where they end, since they are loops and they seem to kick in at a random point in the loop. I did my best to decide where to start and where to stop the tracks, usually where it seemed most likely to begin.

I had to exploit the game and especially the AI greatly in order to get the full 5 minute loops to play. For example in the Justice in Pike's Basin mission, you could set the controller down and the Marshall and his deputies will literally roll through Pike's Basin without you lifting a finger. I had to stand in the Marshalls' way to get the whole track to play. That's just one example out of MANY I had to exploit. Let's just say it was an absolute nightmare at times and with a little patience and luck, I was able to get pretty much ALL of the full tracks. There are a handful of tracks I was not able to get full versions of. Basically if anything is less than 4:30, you know I wasn't able to get the full version. It's only a handful of tracks though.

I am positive I am missing a few tracks, namely the music that plays when you are Wanted in all 3 areas. I was able to get 1 full Wanted track from New Austin, but apparently it was luck. No matter what I do the music jumps all over the place while wanted, and it's just a jumbled mess. If anyone knows how to get these tracks to play without cutting off, changing etc... let me know and I will add them. I just couldn't find a way, maybe someone else knows. There are also a few tracks in multiplayer matches that just jump around to much and cut in/out at random. I am pretty sure there are no duplicate tracks here, but I may have missed 1 or 2. Just know that some tracks sound very alike except for ONE extra layer or so. If anyone finds any duplicates or knows of any tracks I am missing, tell me what they are and I will add/remove them.

I also wanted to say that if you notice on the official OST for both RDR and Undead Nightmare, you will notice tracks like Estancia, for example, are not even found in the game as far as I can tell. In fact, if you listen carefully, pretty much all of the tracks on the OSTs are different variations of songs in my rip. They contain new layers, or mix and match new pieces. My point is I don't know if those tracks are in the game, and I am positive there are more tracks hidden in this game that can only be accessed in certain ways. Most of these tracks on my rip, you would only hear like 5-30 seconds of while playing the game. It's only through literally exploiting that you can access the full soundtrack, and that is quite a shame.:( The good news is those of you reading this will now get to experience it.:D I was surprised that there was so much new music to be heard when I learned to exploit it correctly. Without access to the master collection Bill Elm and Woody Jackson have for this game, there's no telling what or how many more tracks are floating out there. I would love to hear you input on tracks you have heard that I didn't include.

This really is the best soundtrack ever created in my opinion. I am absolutely in love with it. It is something truly unique. The scope and vision of the OST is huge. If any of you feel the same way about the music in Red Dead Redemption, you are probably going to be pleased with this rip. I am extremely happy it turned out this well.

Enjoy :D.

EDIT: Special thank you goes out to _wind_ for keeping these links updated!

Thank you for this awesome gamerip of such an amazing game.

You are welcome. Another quick note, I will most likely release an update in the next few days with some fixes for a few tracks that I forgot to include, I just have to edit them down when I get a chance, so please check back in a few days for them.

I absolutely will check back!

Thank you! I'm absolutely in love with this music!

Me too! You're welcome.

Thank you so much for this amazing RIP :D

Kudos Ronco!

Your previous effort was much appreciated, but this is a whole different beast.
It's in my not so humble opinion the best Gamerip of the Year so far.

You are right this rip is light years ahead of my previous rip, glad you like it.

I just spoke to Woody Jackson through emails yesterday, and he has given me his blessing to upload the entire rip to Youtube, so I will be doing that either later today or tomorrow. I also will be releasing a few fixes just as soon as I get a chance, please check back for the links.

Everyone who has downloaded this rip before the time of this post can download this file for many small fixes to tracks. Just follow the instructions in the readme I have included. It fixes a few beeps in tracks, but for the most part this rearranges tracks that were out of order. As far as I can tell there are no more errors with the tracks, so please let me know if you find an error. There is a ton of music here and it is possible I overlooked something.

fixes - Download - 4shared - John Marston (http://www.4shared.com/rar/DapX7wf8/fixes.html)


Anyone downloading the rip from this point on can ignore this post. The main links now contain all of the fixes so downloading this file is not necessary.

Thank you for all the work you've put into this! Cheers!

Here are the links to the Red Dead rip uploaded to Youtube for your listening pleasure.

Apparently 199 is the max number of videos allowed in a playlist so the rip is split into 2 parts.

Thanks a whole bunch for your work roncoallstar...great game and good music.

Yeah, thank you very much for your work!!!

Can not thank enough! Luv this damn game.

EDIT: Oh by the way Landon Ricketts is the shit!

Oh, man... I'm downloading the files and can't wait to listen to them. Thanks so much for the incredible amount of work you've put into this!

My pleasure, enjoy the rip. :)

I'm downloading it now, but this soundtrack has always been the shiznit anyway. Haven't stopped coming back to this game in 3 years and a big part of that is the music. Thank you kindly, pardner, for the incredible work you've put in on this. A real labour of love. Much obliged!

Thanks! :O

roncoallstar, you're amazing, dude. I can't believe you went to all the trouble to do this. Absolutely incredible, can't thank you enough for sharing all your considerable efforts with the rest of us.

It's stunning to have this much music from such a memorable game soundtrack (my personal favorite, incidentally).

Amazing amazing work!!! thank so much! here have a rep!

Excellent work again roncoallstar! I have a small question though, does you're new rip have the night time versions of the areas, Mexico in particular?

whoa thx!

Excellent work again roncoallstar! I have a small question though, does you're new rip have the night time versions of the areas, Mexico in particular?

At first I thought there were day/night versions for each area, but after A LOT of trial and error and organizing the tracks, I found that time of day is irrelevant. Good news though, if you heard a song play in the game while exploring the world, you can bet it is in this rip. :D

After listening to the rip for about a month, I have determined that the volume setting may have turned out a bit lower than I like. When I play these songs in a playlist with tracks from other soundtracks, the volume difference is noticeable and I really have to crank the volume up to get a "normal" volume. You may not have noticed this but unless you like to play your music LOUD like me, you probably wouldn't notice.

I am going to do some testing when I get a chance to see if it is even worth editing the volume on all of the tracks (distortion etc.). I may release a new version if it turns out well so keep checking back here if that sort of thing interests you.

After doing some testing, I ran across an amazing little program called MP3Gain. What this program does is modify the gain of all of your MP3s WITHOUT re-encoding them. If you just open the files in an editor, change the volume, and then save the file again, you are actually losing quality every time you re save the MP3s. I wanted to avoid that at all costs, and I did thanks to this program. Using this program will show you the volume levels on all of your MP3s, and you can normalize them all to be more in line with a "Normal" volume.

If you have downloaded my rips before and want to get a SIGNIFICANT increase in volume and quality, I HIGHLY recommend running the rips through MP3Gain and normalize them at the default level of 89. The music is so much more full and it definitely sounds a LOT better. I am going to work on uploading the "fixed volume" version of the rip in the next day or so, so you can also just wait for that if you like.

MP3Gain Downloads (http://mp3gain.sourceforge.net/download.php) - The download you want is the 3rd one down called (mp3gain-win-full-1_2_5.exe)

1 - Install
2 - Open and add the files to the program.
3 - Click the Track Analysis button, will take a few minutes to go through them all and will tell you the volume levels of the MP3s
4 - When finished analyzing, click Track Gain and after a few minutes of waiting you are finished. Enjoy.

Test it for yourself and you will see the difference.

Umm, there were a plugin for foobar/winamp that to something like that. But in real time, like a EQ so you dont have to do nothing, only play the files in the player.

Thank�s your the best.

Umm, there were a plugin for foobar/winamp that to something like that. But in real time, like a EQ so you dont have to do nothing, only play the files in the player.

You are correct. It's a PLUGIN. Meaning you HAVE to play the files in that particular player to get the volume effect. But if you put those files on your ipod, the volume reverts to the way it was.

MP3Gain PERMANENTLY modifies the volume on all mp3s, regardless of what application you use to play them.

I have replaced the links with the normalized volume version.

Unless you have already downloaded my rips, please ignore my post about MP3Gain earlier today.

Thanks for all your hard work in recording, ripping, editing and uploading, roncoallstar. Must have been a tireless effort!

You are welcome.

Dam shame more people aren't interested in the rip. Only so many people check FFshrine forums, and this is really the only way of me getting the rip out there. I have a feeling more people would want this if they knew it existed. Anyway, I am glad some of you enjoy it as much as I do.

Damn shame is right. There has to be a lot more people like us who love Red Dead's music as much as we do, and who would be ecstatic at being able to listen to all the music the game has to offer. For what it's worth, Roncoallstar, I listen to this music all the time and am thrilled to have it. Thanks again for sharing all your hard work with us, I really appreciate it.

Btw, thanks also for linking to the Guardian article.

Helps to learn how the composers and the sound designers had to think about how to build the organic soundtrack. Didn't know that they brought in David Holmes for the official OST to go through 14 hours of recordings in order to edit them down into individual pieces.

Yes that article is very interesting indeed.

You are welcome. :)

Before I discovered this, I used to start the game just so to listen to the music. I would literally go to mexico, armadillo, etc. and stay idle whilst listening to the soundtrack. Many thanks for uploading these rips, I can't thank you enough. I really appreciate the hard work you had doing all of this. Take care bro

I was in your shoes at one point, that's when I took action. :D

Glad you like it.

thx for keeping links updated! you rock !

4shared is pretty good about keeping their links up, hopefully I won't have to reupload anytime soon, but let me know if they go down and I will. :D

Congratulations for you patience and for the great work! Never'll be able to thank you enough. I had to sell my xbox 360, I miss this game so much, you can't imagine how happy I am to find this post. Red Dead is on my Top 5 games, and I still believe that Red Dead is THE TRUE GAME of this generation. True game, not just interactive movie like the most of the games of this generation where you keep smashing buttons and watching one scene after another. Whenever someone asks me to point the best recent epic game, I olny can say Red Dead. Can't have the game for now, but can have the music so I can remember. I'll never be able to thank you enough for this mister!

I loved the game and the music! Thanks for posting this so I can listen to it over and over.

Are you the same person that did a rip that containted 75 tracks? If so, it's nice to see you went back and did a complete rip. I can now get rid of the original rip I downloaded. Thank you for your effort.

Thank you dude! One of the greatest soundtracks of all time!

There is a way to have the piano saloon musics riped?

Thanks Roncoallstar, this is great, well done.

There is a way to have the piano saloon musics riped?

I tried, but the saloon music is part of the sound effects in the game world. So it would have turned out pretty badly since you would also hear all of the people chattering and other sound effects.

Glad to see more people are still finding this rip enjoyable.

Fantastic upload, thanks for all the effort!

:roflbalok:

Thank you, I tried making my own game rip of RDR but the dynamic music was too much for me.

Thank you very much for doing this.

Great rip - thanks a lot!

only thing thats missing is the four songs in the end of the game

only thing thats missing is the four songs in the end of the game

Which songs are you referring to? I didn't include any of the official music from the OST.

Thank you very much!! I loved the game and was looking for the original soundtrack for my drawing sessions, but I was a bit disappointed by the absence of specific melodies. This playlist is wholly and perfect!!! Thank you so much, I'll never let this one go!

I'm looking for an extended version of the song that plays when Jack tells John about his book, here's a link.

Piano Short Story Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96_4r1zSZs0)

thanks :)

Hello, I'm relatively new to the RED DEAD games and fell in love with the score immediately. I've purchased both soundtracks and was deeply disappointed in both so I began to search. I came across your post from last year and I've tried to download, but they're expired now. How can I access the score downloads now?

Fantastic work!!! I greatly appreciate all of the time and effort you invested to assemble such an amazing ensemble of the arguably best video game music ever! I applaud your dedication, sir!!!

Amazing! thank you so much!

Very Nice!

Thanks A Lot!

sadly all links have been erased. I hope somebody has a backup and can reshare.

Please, I need this, anyone can reshare? I hope as soon as possible!

Thank you! : _ (

no need for me to reupload

Thanks!

Thanks for the reuploads. They are big files. It would take forever for me to upload on my shoddy ADSL.

Thanks a lot! I love the rustic sound of the game.

Recently came across this after unsuccessfully looking for it years ago.
Thank you so much roncoallstar for all your efforts. It's people like u that make the web the joy it is!
Also, a big shout out to Wind, without whose re-up I'd have never have acquired this rip.
Cheers guys.

Thank you! =)

Amazing post, thank you so much!

I'm sorry to report that the links are dead. It'd be a real shame if the O.P spent all that time and hard work (and frustration) if we can't enjoy this masterpiece for years to come.

Thankfully the playlists are still up on YouTube and I've gone through them twice already. Was hoping to get them on iTunes for when I travel.

What are the chances of reviving these links? I wonder why Rockstar wasn't eager to get the whole 20+ hour soundtrack out seeing as though they spent all that money on the soundtrack and music is the biggest element of a games immersion. People playthough this game just to experience the music again.

The links seem to be down. Any chance they've been moved? Seems like you put a lot of work into this - thanks! It's a fantastic score.

Thank you wind for re-uploading these, I have been meaning to do that for quite awhile and it slipped my mind. I edited my original post with your links for now.

I just downloaded the rip to make sure you uploaded the correct NEW version with the adjusted volume levels, and you have uploaded the correct version. Enjoy. :)

Where's the decryption key (requested by mega) for your awesome RDR rip? Thanks!

UPDATE: Nevermind!! Thanks!

I just wanted to share an awesome find for those interested. Someone managed to extract the actual music stems from the game and uploaded them through a torrent.

It is a program called OpenIV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5iR3SHj2UY

I have been having fun mixing and matching all of the different stems through Audacity. The entire soundtrack is done at the same beats per minute, so the possibilities are vast for combinations. Obviously some go together better than others but I feel like I am experiencing new versions of the tracks. Hearing these stems individually really made me understand the soundtrack 100 times over, and showed me how flawed my rip really is. Someone could literally create a soundtrack with thousands of different combinations of tracks with these stems if they had the time.

I am not sure about the rule of posting torrents here so I will just say this, you can find the link through google search by typing "Red Dead Redemption - MUSIC GAME RIP torrent". The working link is the one from limetorrent, but only the magnet link worked for me.

I'm looking for an extended version of the song that plays when Jack tells John about his book, here's a link.

Piano Short Story Red Dead Redemption Undead Nightmare - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96_4r1zSZs0)

Is it in the rips, if so mind directing me?

I know I am years late with this reply but I missed your comment sorry. That little music clip must be part of the in game sound effects just like the saloon music. It's not a stem and it's not part of my rip, as I would have recorded it when I played through with sound effects turned off. Sorry but I don't think there is a full version of this track on the disk, hard to say until someone can fully explore the disk.

Thanks guys for these amazing and ultra rare albums, I've been looking for theme for ages now :D

Am I just not seeing the Decrypt key for the MEGA Links? I've read and re-read the first page and would love to download and listen to this. Any assistance? Thank you.

Thank you. I was using the links provided in the first post. Appreciate pointing me in the right direction. And Kudos to this rip Roncoallstar. These are fantastic pieces of music and all your hard work and dedication to get all of them *just* right is fantastic and much appreciated!!!

As always, all credits for this goes to roncoallstar.

This is the music rip roncoallstar mentioned in one of his latest post. Took a while to download it. Now you can create your own mixes!!

Pardon my ignorance, but do you know who it was that ripped this? There's artifacting galore all over these background stems. It's unbearable. If you have a source for the original awc files before they were put through god-knows-what program and converted to shoddy 160kbp mp3 files, that would be grand.

I don't know who originally ripped these files, but I know it is very difficult to access the RDR files from the disc. I think they actually had to create and use OpenIV, which is not official. This may have been the best he could do since there is no other program that I am aware of to extract the RDR files from a PS3 or Xbox disc. There are definitely stems and tracks here that are not in my rip, meaning they NEVER play in game.

I attempted to do my own extraction with OpenIV years ago for the very same reason you mentioned. I couldn't figure it out and a tutorial for Open IV and the method for extracting eluded me. If someone does figure it out or is able to extract a higher quality version of the music stems, PLEASE drop the link here. I plan on doing a higher quality re record of RDR 1 sometime this year and I planned on adding the stems from the extraction that I am missing in my rip, unless someone can figure out a higher quality method before then. This may be the best we ever get unfortunately. :( I hope someone out there can figure it out because there are some gems.

Do these include the online narrator sounds?

Those are in a separate folder here (https://youtu.be/t5iR3SHj2UY?t=38s). I'm working on getting a hold of the entire sfx files, but for now, not a lot of traction.

I am asking for links to the improved soundtrack: Red Dead Redemption and Undead Nightmare RIPs

They are in the first post of this topic. The links are valid.

Just want to thank you again for this megapost! Have used it a few times for work (temp underscore for movies/TV). Thanks!!

Thanks! I used to have a lot of fun playing Undead Nightmare.

Thanks for the big effort man. Great stuff
