This is the COMPLETE soundtrack! With 506 [removed duplicates] audio files (includes victory themes, special message SFX and a couple of my own edited tracks; Opening (Announcer Mix) )

All tracks have been ripped directly from the game, so quality is no longer of any issue as this is the best anyone could get anywhere in ever!

The source files are 48kHz (48000Hz) with a 16bit audio resolution and they are directly, with no processing, tampering or faffing, converted to .FLACs of the same sample rate and bit-depth! Then of course those FLACs are converted to MP3 files of the highest possible quality -- They're all looped once to make a 4-minute length average and have a ~10-second fade-out.

This is the best possible quality rip that will be available, alongside those doing a fantastic job on their own library (Morbidcrab, Repawn, Ungrateful Dead, Twilight One, Scutilla, Rageplay and Mew3) over here! (Thread 182554)

I have spent hours tagging all the files accordingly to make for a top-quality library of music and included the following metadata: Title, Artist, Composer, Album, Album Artist, Track Number, Disc Number, Year, Genre and of course newly made, but very fitting, artwork for all tracks! Also, all tracks are sorted into their own series-specific folders. (Planned new tag data: Original release date; 'Original Date')

Metadata, folder structure

The track titles will appear as they do in the games 'Sound Test' mode, artists are set to whatever is specified in the game but there are some missing - so I have looked up the original composer of the song and placed him/her/them in!

The track numbers are specific to their folders, not across the entire album (e.g. Mario tracks from 1-62). The disc numbers are specific to each folder too, as if each folder was it's own disc and part of a set of 24.

The year represents the year this soundtrack was released, the 'Original Year' specifies when the song was actually first composed! (e.g. Super Mario 64 Main Theme was composed in 1996). [this is being put together with the FLACs first]

The Album tag start specifically with "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - Vol." to ensure proper listing of the album volumes on mobile devices and music libraries on players etc. (format idea courtesy of /u/Drezus) instead of haveing "A- Mario" sat at the top of your album folders and "O - Animal Crossing" sat halfway down!

The Album Artist is set to "Super Smash Bros. for Wii U" for easy finding overall.

I wanted to make sure with the artwork was that it remains consistent with the style of the official Smash Bros. website, I also wanted to pay a bit of homage to the games Sound Test itself by including a red series logo instead of white to indicate when you're listening to a new remix! -- this saves cluttering up the tags with '[Remix]' after each track name! -- There are also plenty of variations of all the artwork included for you to use according to your own personal taste! (More on the way, courtesy of /u/Drezus)

Now, I want to sincerely thank these reddit users for their highly appreciated help in the comments:

Thanks a lot!

Really awesome that someone's FINALLY doing something for us audiophiles! Really looking forward to the flac rips. Thanks so much for putting the effort in this enormous task!

Been watching your progress on Reddit, you're seriously the man dude. Sincerely, thank you so much

Thanks alot for this.

The FLACs will come tomorrow, had a loooooong day sorting the final bits of this upload out!

Should I have any hope of a torrent? Half a day AT BEST to download this isn't very thrilling.

Anyway, nice work and thanks for sharing.

A torrent is on the way, everything will be up and running tomorrow - including FLAC and the full Wii U/3DS complete batch!

WHAT? Love you man.

will be a torrent?

no offense but now that the game files are available this is near useless.

Yeah, and I think 24-bit 48kHz is a huuuge upconvert. If Nintendo followed its norm for SSB4, then the game files are 16-bit 32kHz.

The game files themselves are 16 bit PCM 48 khz. Thanks for the dedication though, respect!

There is no up-conversion, the sample rate (48kHz) during recording matched the source (also set as PCM). Recording at 24bit instead of 16bit does not cause any degredation of audio quality - not one bit - it just creates a lot of headroom for loudness/quietness and also ensures everything is dead silent when required and crystal clear when loud; ruling out any chance of unwanted noise. In short, it just allows a larger dynamic range.

As I pointed out in the original post, this is a digital recording straight from the game - so whether the files are ripped or recorded using the method I used, they will be of literally identical quality due to the fact that it's a digital signal, not a lossy analog one.


no offense but now that the game files are available this is near useless.

How is that so?
Just because the files are available does not negate the organization and tagging. As I said above, the quality difference is nil having now heard the proper rips and compared the waveforms directly - I encourage anyone to see for themselves!

I'm holding out for your Wii U / 3DS combo rip. Ive been hoping someone would be doing this and I'm glad you did.

Question -- will your rip have the songs loop? It's part of why I havent downloaded others rips yet. Even if not this is duly appreciated.

The combo rip will be ready for upload by tomorrow afternoon (UK time) :)

I've edited every to seamlessly loop once, so they all average around 4:30 in length.

Is it possible to split the file into multiple archives? A single 4GB download isn't gonna cut it on my internet, the speed's going to drop at some point...

I would but I'm impatient to wait for the torrent file.

Downloaded, thanks, amazing job.

Really looking forward to the entire soundtrack in FLAC. Any ETA? :) Torrent or no torrent, I'll take as long as I need to to get this. Thanks a lot for your effort!

I love you, thank you for living long enough to do this.

The fact that I recorded a 16bit source in 24bit is sole reason why my files are slightly quieter. Though if I lower your file by 1dB and line it up...

Image comparison (I can't seem to attach images to my post) ()

My file is above, yours below - both showing their left and right channels obviously.

They're identical to me, there are some very slight detail differences but having gone over them multiple times, there is no audible difference when it comes to clarity. The only major, visual difference is the fade-out at the end.
I completely understand though, as an audiophile myself, having the raw file from the discs data itself is just much more reassuring of quality than a direct recording of it -- though when directly compared, I honestly can not hear one shred of a difference.

Hey, Roynerer. I've been following this on Reddit.

The quality is best and consistent, and the files are very well-tagged and organized. I also love the album covers.
For someone who is able to provide a quality rip for a soundtrack as huge as this one all by himself, this is very commendable.

Thank you for all your effort, dedication, and hardwork. More power to you.

FLAC = 20.1GB

fuck me sideways.. can't wait to listen to all these tracks lol

Awsum!
I can't wait to flac release. \(^o^)
How long is the duration of the entire soundtrack?

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U Soundtrack Rip (In-Progress) : smashbros (http://www.reddit.com/r/smashbros/comments/2o2rka/super_smash_bros_for_wii_u_soundtrack_rip/)

FINALLY someone looped the tracks from the get-go in great quality. Why the majority of the tracks weren't looped in the other rip is beyond me.

Thanks!

Thank you for all your hard work!

YESS, Thanks a lot

Thanks for your hardwork, gonna hold out until the Wii U/3DS combo comes out.

Can't wait until the Wii U/3DS pack is ready. What genius, allowing me to listen to only the newly remixed tracks! I'mma order myself a delicious dinner and listen to this when it's done.

The progress is updated more frequently on the reddit post if you want to keep up with the goings-ons :)

How long is the duration of the entire soundtrack?
"currently" 27h 53min 53sec

Whoa.....the file size of this thing is large, but quality is so good that I can't argue. Many, many thanks for this. I really appreciate the amount of effort put into this rip. ^^

Replying to your question from Reddit here because my posts wont show up there for some reason.

To me, the Wii Party U song sounds like the menu select theme at first, but then it doesn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73QsCwBTKdQ
But it is definitely from Wii Party U.

And like Plusy said, the IKI file is the main theme to Freakyforms: Your Creations, Alive. I had originally posted this to your reddit thread as soon as you asked,
but my posts never showed up for some reason :(

I must have bat ears then, you keep milking that thesis

http://tcovg.aftervision.com/duck_hunt_dog_laughing.gif

24 bit doesn't do much if it wasn't mixed to begin with, maybe a recording changes this, now- raise your volume and see if they match in clarity- lowering it to match defeats the purpose of this since that's how the volume natively was inside the game, but if they do match then I will take your stance and not laugh at your overkill, nice tagging though- be honest with me, are you just standing by your opinion because you don't want a restart? If that's true then I can respect that knowing how infuriating a redo must be

Who cares? The difference is ridiculously negligible. If you want the version ripped from the in-game files, then just get that version and ignore this one.

I, for one, appreciate the immense amount of work that went into manually ripping AND tagging such a massive volume of tracks. That shit's very time-consuming. I'll probably use this as my keeper copy given how nicely tagged it is.

I've mentioned that and agreed, It /IS/ indeed very time consuming, especially when having everything neat and accurate, starting over would be extremely tedious- so that's probably why he's keeping it.

I want the very best quality, as an audiophile- I must obtain the highest quality that there is and ever will exist, there are people naive enough to waste bandwidth and memory and quite frankly, I'm wasting my time on them as well. I could care less at this point- because the only person they are fooling are themselves.


I'll leave this thread be and focus on our own project now, goodbye, Pseudo-Philes!

There's no need to be rude and call people names. It's just video game music. Provided to you for free, in fact. Chill out. Seek out the kind of rip that you want and be happy.

Oh nice, well then now everyone can be happy. I'm really glad that someone commented mentioning how the tagging affects Google Music, because that's what I use for most of my listening. That's gonna save a lot of people a lot of time.

How many tracks though?

there are 532 tracks in the filerip

I wish the file was divided in smaller files, but either way, I am glad someone is sharing the full soundtrack WITH tags. Thanks a lot!

Kudos, I haven't posted anything here before but I need to just say that you're a savior to us OCD-people who need to add tags to everything

How many tracks though?

Huh? I see 474 Tracks. �.o

Huh? I see 474 Tracks. �.o

That's because people are confused, there are two rips of the game. This one here in 24bit 48 khz, very nicely recorded via digital console output. And then there is the filerip that takes the recently dumped game files and converts them straight to flac. The filerip has songs not available ingame right now so it has more songs, and fanfares than the sound test states.

MP3 version of the wii u gamerip is out!!
EDIT: 20 GB FLAC and combined 3ds/wiiu ost in progress

I have MAJORLY updated the original post!

Thanks to the efforts of crediar, I've obtained his complete rip of the games audio.

I also, thankfully, didn't have to re-tag the whole lot as I found a way to save my complete tags and import them onto the new files! Though I did have to manually match up the actual file names with my earlier ones.

My library of the soundtrack contains 506 tracks - simply because I removed exact duplicates like the victory themes (Mario, Luigi, Peach etc. -- renamed Mario's to 'Mario Bros.') and a couple songs, to clean it all up a bit. I am of course a bit gutted that my 14 hours of recording the audio is kind of wasted, though it's not all bad as I have all the tag data and covers all ready to go! Plus, it keeps audio quality consistent to have everything from the same source instead of simply dropping in what I didn't have before, ha!

So, everything is tagged and presented just like my previous lot (with a few updates) but with the addition of the brilliant quality of the direct rip!

Multi-part set is up now guys! Check the main post.

Fantastic work. Even if the quality isn't absolutely perfect like a previous poster was pointing out, it sounds incredible. And.. let's be honest, the music in most Smash Bros games is just mid-tier stuff to begin with, so I don't see why you need it to be absolute maximum quality anyway.

This is an amazing put together rip thanks for all the hard work.

The quality that previous poster was referring to was the optical recordings, those are now gone anyway. The files used now are the directly ripped files from the game, this quality is literally the best possible you could get - as well as the previous poster.
Me and the 'previous poster' are now using the same source material, the library of music will just be organized differently!
