Do not hesitate to leave a comment, if you liked my work. Will appreciate it a lot!

Simple: I combined the piano reararngements from Piano Collections with vocalists singing, extracted from the game files. It was quite a problematic job to do, since the pianists played their arrangements with a very much irregular rhythm, so I had to stretch and squeeze the vocals or the piano throughout the whole track. Sometimes it caused worsening of the sound quality, but, well, I did what I could to make this sound as good as I could. Not all the game's vocals are presented in tha gamerip as clear vocals layer, so I couldn't mix each and every track from Piano Collections in that way. Still I managed to clean some vocals that are not presented as clear vocal layers in the gamerip, some better some worse. Perticular descriptions are in the tracklist.

The gamerip, I took some vocals layers from, was made by Zirot: Thread 215929

3 tracks from the original album didn't get to this compilation, because they had no clear vocals layers and I couldn't clean them properly.



Tracks info:

1 Vague Hope (feat. Emi Evans) - To make this version, at first I needed the Vague Hope a cappella, which is not presented in the game files. I tried to clean the vocals from all the instruments, but the result is so bad that I won't even upload it as a separate track. You can hear that the vocals are shit even through the piano in the track.
Another problem is that this arrangement's rhythm is incredibly irregular and I had to stretch and squeeze the vocals parts more then in any other vocal/piano track. You can see the percentages of stretching and the amount of cut in the vocals layer here, if you'd like, it's crazy!

Surely such stretching worsened the aweful vocals layer quality even more. I solved the problem a little bit by squeezing the entire part of the track, which was covered by vocals, and it made the vocals sound not so terrible.
Overall, I still decided to post this because it's actually listenable and if you won't focuse on the sound quality, it is OK, especially if it's not loud or on the background.

2 Amusement Park (feat. Emi Evans) - The verse-chorus cycle plays 3 times in this arrangement, so I included the vocals here at the 1st and the 3rd ones, leaving the middle without singing. But I replaced the 2nd and 3rd chorus parts of the piano arrangement between one another, because in the 2nd chorus part of the original track the pianist plays only the accompaniment music, when in the third chorus he plays the melody itself. So since the melody is sang by Evans through vocals, I thought it would be more fitting if the middle instrumental part of this version will include the melody of this theme played on piano, when the accompaniment-like part will accompany the singing in the end.

3 Faltering Prayer. Dawn Breeze (feat. Emi Evans) - Since this track has a clear piano layer in the game files and I managed to clear the vocals for Faltering Prayer track, I decided to make a piano/vocals version of this and include it to this compilation.

4 City Ruins (feat. Emi Evans & J'Nique Nicole) - original piano rearrangement of this one is very irregular, so I had to stretch the pianos here more then the vocals, when mostly the process was the opposite. Vocals taken straight from the gamerip.

5 Bipolar Nightmare (feat. Nami Nakagawa) - This mix didn't turn out to be good at all. First of all I couldn't clean the vocals properly, you will hear some percussion leftovers and all that stuff. Second, I only managed to clean it from the officially released version, so the vocals here contain distorted Nakagawa solo singing. The clean solo from the gamerip would fit much much better here, but unfortunately it is uncleanable, at least the same way I managed to clean the vocals from the official track. And third issue - lots of heavy stretching and squeezing, because of the slow rhythm of the vocals and fast rhythm of the original piano arrangement, which seriously fucked up the sound in this edit. And because of all these rhythm speed issues the vocals do not fit to the piano arrangement that well.
But, well, it is listenable, sort of, maybe, so I still decided to post it.

6 Treasured Times (Piano Only) - Obviously this was taken from the game files, not from the Piano Collections album, but still I decided to include it to my Piano/Vocals compilation (though it has no vocals here), coz it fits here very well, imo.

7 Copied City (feat. Nami Nakagawa) - To make this version, at first I needed the Copied City a cappella, and since there is no vocals-only layer of it in the game files, I had to clean the vocals from the instrumental part. You can check out the result here: Copied City A Cappella: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uixh-9OqySA
The rhythm of the piano version is variable and changable all over the place, so I had to adjust the vocals rhythm in every row of the song (basically I had to do so for each of these Piano Collections with Lyrics tracks). And the last but not the least I used the 3D audio technique for the second half of this track's vocals, so it would sound more intense togather with the intensifying piano, while in the first half of the track bringing the singing left and right channels more to the center and made it more quiet, so it would sound calmly.

8 Voice of no Return (feat. Emi Evans) - The vocals layer has a straight rhythm, when the piano arrangement changes the rhythm all over the place, so I had to stretch and squeeze different parts of the vocals layer differetly in different places https://drive.google.com/file/d/1w4edDH92N7JY7LF-Q0HnCrfPyVDTwAHQ/view Vocals taken straight from the gamerip.

9 Sound of the End (feat. Nami Nakagawa) - vocals taken straight from the gamerip.

10 The Tower (feat. Emi Evans & J'Nique Nicole) - vocals taken straight from the gamerip.

11 Weight of the World (feat. Emi Evans & J'Nique Nicole) - Well, I didn't expect this mix to be what it is in the end. So, although I do not like this track very much, 4 hours of vocals and piano rhythms adjustment and playing with voluming and "3D audio" technique were deffinitely worth it. This one was a bit crazy to make, tbh lol https://drive.google.com/file/d/14Et8thYn_uHAG2BV_OKiToyddlAcyvHo/view Vocals straight from the gamerip.

Thank you! Well, I guess their point was to make piano only versions, giving the performers full freedom on how they feel and play the tracks, and the singing would ruin it.
