TBH I was surprised to see the old dvd rips still floating around here when these were posted on YKDB last year (with a "final" update yesterday).

https://www.mediafire.com/view/?&e2zn7ehlf4vn1od (hisgruntiness)

Over 70 tracks in FLAC mixed from Blu-ray audio. Obviously not CD quality clean but what can we do. Unless they do some SAC anniversary release, the probability of another SAC soundtrack is in the 0% region with ARISE coming out now. Also includes an attempt at unmixing OST4- smooth in the shell.

Thanks for the updated version. :)

ARISE should have never existed. It is not even Masamune original. Just some fan manga. Just like Blood-c should never be done
I am seriously getting sick of japanese and the lack of originality.

will check those rips....

will check those rips....

They're by the same guy who did the old ones you shared so they shouldn't be a bad replacement.

The problem is that I already burned a DVD with all my music collection of GITS.... a year ago... and I hate to "reburn" collection because of things like this.
not your fault of course. just saying what my feelings are yelling. -_-

70 tracks. I think I don't have that much. but if there is nothing new.... I will not replace it at all.
I thought I had shared a split version... of ost 4.,.... plus the tachikoma usb files....

.

not to be an ass but....or trying to discourage your share. Just saying my thoughts.... :)

why the first rips I shared sound better? I am listening, and some of the tunes I love like hell, sound less.... how should I say....?
they just sound weird, let's put it that way. :/ The ones that had no sfx, have sfx now, and the ones that dont had sfx now they have. What is the logic on it?
But yes. There are new stuff in here. but that #105-7 #106-2-4 #107-3 #114-6 #119-4 #LM-15 Track is just the best of all of the soundtrack. At least for me. Because I am a sucker UP of that tune :p but the first rip seems better then this one. :/

why the first rips I shared sound better?

v( ' ')v not many people contributed so it might be an oversight or just trying to make the tracks as long as possible.

Is it just that one track?

I'll look at whatever "complaints"/suggestions there are when I return next weekend and see what I can do so ask and ye might receive.

PS. ... but you do come off as an ass. :p

Everyone has an ass. XD

I will give a better listen to the tracks later at night. ;)
I'll let know anything about this XD

Thank you for you excellent work!

Orie, your message box is full. :/ Please try http://mediafire.com/?9dyfi2g774ahge3. Same passes as in original post.

Feedback? Any other tracks to look at before I bother uploading this single one in FLAC? Thanks.

notice it now. I will have a look on these.
Honestly I did not had time yet to look or hear :p, better this.

(hmm... Lost the track where I put your rips... Gotta download this again-)

edit:

Damn.... I never noticed those Guitar riffs before on the track. 0.0
That is a pretty nice work in here. Gotta give you credit for it.

At the moment I am not remembering other tracks to point you. Let me get at home later, and then I will give better feedback. ;)

Kay, just got back to it yesterday myself. I'll be waiting. I want to finish this and move on, lol.

Dear biatch:

First of all, I am sorry of taking time to say anything about this. Was too dragged in some works of mine that I forgot it.
Second, for some unknown reason the rips I downloaded before from here, just went missing, and I have no idea how that happened.
Third, I am already downloaded all of this... again. And I will hear it today and give you feedback on those tracks.

Since my connection is not the best, it took a whole day to grab them all. Meanwhile I got to hear the old versions. (Damn myself, I forgot how much I damn loved these rips, if not for my favorite tracks being in here.)

Stay tuned :D

Are you getting 300 private messages a day? Your inbox is full again.

You'll have to be more specific than what you sent because I don't know what really is the issue other than "it doesn't sound great". I totally agree it doesn't! It is what it is - a rip from an action show mix, which sometimes has more reverbation through all channels than it really needed to have.

So ignoring volume/normalization problems (which are annoying me too but I'm not sure if it's worth crying over - unlike the lack of more official CDs):

#104-1 #108-5 #217-6 #LM-2 <- dont know what needs fixing, there is a different version of this track in the SFX heavy dir though
#108-4 #110-1 #115-1 #119-7 #212-1 #LM-8 <- don't know what needs fixing
#110-02 #111-7 <- //almost// identical to the old version, don't know what needs fixing
#110-04 #114-2 #117-4 <- dont know what needs fixing
#111-3 #119-3 #126-1 #206-3 #LM-6 <- apart from maybe the volume changes, nothing to do here cause of sauce
#111-6 #117-2 #119-5 #LM-14 <- dont know what needs fixing
#120-1 #208-3 #LM-18 <- "this one just deserves a total epic upgrade" <- ???? dont know what to fix
#120-2 #124-6 #LM-20 <- I assume you mean the parts with dialogue and gunshots but sauce, no copy pasta or loop possible as far as I can hear and I didn't want to trim it down
#121-2 #208-1 #LM-31 <- this is the cleanest it gets
#122-1 #123-2 #LM-27 <- don't know what needs fixing
#123-3 #206-4 #LM-21 <- don't know what needs fixing
#123-1 #207-5 #LM-19 <- pretty sure this is the cleanest it gets, volume changes annoy me too
#124-7 <- dont know what to fix
#SSS-11 <- this has already been edited super heavily just to make it listenable, so for a track that has appeared only once and in a chase scene, I think this will have to do
#222-6 #IE-14 <- won't sound better
#217-8 #225-5 #IE-2-35 <- I can send you the sources, youll be my hero if you get better results;
#216-3 #220-4 #222-5 #IE-8-22-25 <- don't think it sounds better in the show; youd think with so many appearences it could have a better version;
#212-7 #IE-07 <- dont know what to fix
#210-7 <- nothing more to do
#205-3-7 #224-3 <- I really wish but sauce, TBH I wasn't even sure about including it here when I was putting it together
#201-6 #219-7 <- dont know what to fix

sorry. can't be here due to private issues. and I don't have time to reply to you. sorry. :(

Thanks for sharing this !

Been looking for #120-2 for 8+ years. Thanks so much!

Thanks for the updated version.
