Okay guys, here comes the first Spyro game. The idea behind this was to release a complete gamerip which contains all songs in lossless quality in it and maximizing sound quality without destroying the original feel to it.

For my personal liking Spyro 1 has the best composition with the weakest sound production of the series. It contains alot of recording errors, dull audio, bad volume mastering and overall too much bass. There are Worlds laying between Spyro 1 and 3 in terms of sound quality.

What have been done: corrected fade-ins and -outs (tracks change smoothly now, depending on your player of course, I for myself use Songbird), normalized volumepeaks by compressor/limiter (avoid clipping/too much volume difference between tracks and in songparts/avoided too much dynamic losses), resampled to 44,1khz without sound pitching(to make it more player compatible and make room for high frequencies), restored lost frequencies due to PSX audio (freshen up sound/no equalizers used!), noise sharpening (to define the mumbly bass and compressed high hats), corrected tags (trackorder similar to ingame levels), reduced some background noise.

All has been done track individually, thats why it took that long.

I also did some sound error correction, like in Icy Flight. There is a mean clipping error in it which appears in all mp3 releases and even ingame while playing. The only way to avoid them was cutting them out. Dont worry: It is basically only a 1/10 second, you wont notice it the way I did. ^^

This release contains EVERY song that has been released for this game in a way it makes sense, including these that are missing in the mp3 releases. I added the alternate versions that only appear on the PAL/NTSC versions (suffixed (Alternate)). Basically they are remixed versions, in a certain way. In my oppinion some of them sound better than their original counterparts e.g. Beast Maker's Theme (Alternate). Only the cutscenes are missing because they contained alot of SFX...

I added every front cover that has been official released for the games (PAL/NTSC) as a Bonus, so you can choose which one you like most. The one that is labeled folder.jpg is the one from the Disc I ripped the audio. Complete Cover work in 600x600p (corrected Brightness/Contrast/Saturation/Dimensions via S-Spline algorithm).

All together it makes this release superior to all previously released mp3 versions, in every aspect.

Have Fun!

Any critics or suggestions are always welcome! Any questions?



An amazing Soundtrack, composed by Stewart Copeland (Drummer->"The Police"). One of my personal favorite PSX Soundtracks.

This one sure took some time, especially the song cutting and naming. I remastered the tracks without destroying the old song feeling. That means no equalizers or multiband tools were used which would mess with the frequencies. I also corrected the Fade-ins and -outs.

The difference compared to the original audio in terms of fidelity and instrumental distinction is day and night. This version has clear cymbals, crisp high hats and punchy bass guitars. In the end i was surprised myself that it turned out that good.

The ambient tracks (like the Intro) have some vinyl like cracks. This is not my fault, the songs are like that on the cd. I could remove the Cracks but for the cost of most of fidelity. So i decided to leave them like that, besides it adds a certain charme.

I added every song that is played ingame, the ones with an exclamation mark are songs played during minigames. Consider this as a full gamerip in Cd Quality.

Okay enough words: Enjoy the music!

And...Strike Three!
Spyro 3 has the best sounding synth instrumentals of all 3 games, which almost sound like real instruments.
The mastering is way better than on the first Spyro game.
The songs sound pretty good from scratch, so there was not that much to do.

Like buddy barnaby64 mentioned: The PAL Version contains half of the songs in mono only. Therefore I choose the Special Platinum Version. Best of both worlds: It contains all the extra Songs of the PAL version with the stereo quality of the NTSC version. The songs with an ! mark are played during Minigames/Cutscenes, I added them for Completion.

What have been done so far: corrected fade-ins and -outs (tracks change smoothly now, depending on your player of course, I for myself use Songbird), normalized volumepeaks, resampled to 44,1khz without sound pitching(to make it more player compatible and make room for high frequencies), restored lost frequencies due to PSX audio (freshen up sound/no equalizers used!), noise sharpening (to define the mumbly bass and compressed high hats), corrected tags (trackorder similar to ingame levels/though you do a alot of revisits), reduced some background noise.

Again, I added every front cover that has been official released for the games (PAL/NTSC/Platinum) as a Bonus, so you can choose which one you like most. The one that is labeled folder.jpg is the one from the Disc I ripped the audio. Complete Cover work in 600x600p (corrected Brightness/Contrast/Saturation/Dimensions via S-Spline algorithm).

No, i do not own the OSTs. There are no official Releases for the Spyro games, i know: a pain in the arse.

These are pure Gamerips of the PSX discs. The outcome is 38khz audio, which is a Sony standard format. Cd audio is 44.1khz. So i restored 6khz of frequencies and tweaked them. When you take a look at the spectral image i posted, you can guess it is pretty close to a regular release.

07-23-2010, 10:26 PM
Well, it was all 320kbps and like I said, it had those "beta" versions of a few themes. I did download it and burn it to a cd, but said cd has been scratched quite a bit, and I was planning on adding the OST to my ipod, but I didn't want to use a potentially damaged source. Since then, I've been searching for it in 320/flac, to no avail.

Thread 31527

I guess it was a gamerip....unless he just threw it in. But how'd he get those alternate tracks then? And in 320? (folder was roughly 230MB's, which was about the right size)

Just how much "fiedlity" do you lose when you take the vinyl cracks out of the ambient tracks?

Raziel08
08-01-2010, 07:10 PM
when you look up the spectrals, the cracks are right in the middle frequencies. so, i have to deform half the frequencies to even make them less noticable. that will result in a 64kbps like mp3 file. sounds horrible.

If it's any help, I've just finished ripping, sorting and naming the tracks from the PAL version of Spyro 1: there are 7 extra tracks in addition to the 40 non-duplicated tracks in the NTSC version (as well as High Caves getting it's own theme rather than a slightly remixed version of the Tree Tops theme). If you need them, I can provide either 37.8khz or 44.1khz FLAC, or 44.1khz -v0 MP3, whichever is more convenient.
Here (https://docs.google.com/document/edit?id=1LkIZ3x_nTwwkqSdUFPj4IXNaxS6ZlOx7q3LYla2lg b8&hl=en&authkey=CMvaifoE) is the tracklist for those using the PAL disc themselves, so you can avoid all the mucking about I did matching up track to name. Peace Keepers Alternate 2 is essentially the same as Peace Keepers Alternate, but is not bit-for-bit identical.

Beside that I was quite busy with moving to another City, exams etc..and of course ripping other games (I ripped the complete Unreal Saga including Tournament/Championship, those will be uploaded too (7gb -_-)) Currently Im uploading the first game, which approximately will take the weekend (ca.900mb) to Saturday/Sunday. After that I will immediately upload the Spyro 3 OST which sounds particulary fine (for me Xd). Right now, I take a look over Spyro 2. Maybe I do a re-release...

If i get your question right you should try Dbpoweramp or this one http://www.mymusictools.com/cgi-bin/download/2/http://www.ManiacTools.com/cgi-bin/download/converter_mmt.exe. Just google for them, there are plenty of programms out there which could do that.

However i dont really understand why you bother to download a lossless file just to convert it to a lossy one. The whole idea of this project was to make it lossless for archiving reasons with best quality.

I have comment again after listening through the whole Spyro 1 soundtrack, this release is just so awesome words can't really describe it, i did had a few problems where i thought the highs where way to high but well thats just because i had to adapt to the new sounding and when i did this just sounds so much better in every way now it is really possible to destinguish each instrument and listen to their own textures appreciate the the way Copeland composed the clock melodies to the fully intension.

SO yeah i just had to wrote again how awesome this work is, and i look forward to listen to Spyro 2 which by some samples had even better sounding than Spyro 1 ^^ im in heaven.

Thank you for your kind words. The unmastered material had very harsh clashes which were alot louder than everything else in the song. I tried to compensate that, but yea sometimes you still hear them. The more in brilliance makes them more noticable too. Though I think you just need to get used to the new brilliance, like you said. I cant really say what the soundtrack sounds like on low-end gears or speakers, on my headphones (which have relatively loud highs) it sounds well balanced though. And of course you can distinguish the Instruments much better that way.

Thats the problem with remastering. Everyone have different hearing habities and equipment. Thats why I dont use equalisers in the first place and use neutral gear. But thats the good side on doing this project, I can make it sound like I want it to.

Yeah, at first I found the highs to be a little too high, but after I got used to it the lows are what sounded weird. Maybe it's just me or the U.S. copy but the game seems to put a lot more emphasis on the lows.

You right about the lows. Specifically, frequencies lower than 100hz are way too loud. The reason for it is quite obvious: The game is meant to be played on a tv monitor which has low-end speakers lacking bass frequencies. The Audio was never meant to be Hi-Fi material.

Problem is, I cant really do that much about it. The difference is that big that fixing the problem would result in no headroom. You would get heavy distortion and pure loudness. I pushed the sound already to its limit and I tried alot! Normally a sane sound engineer would just erase the master tapes, start re-recording that whole bunch with better balance, for he knowing that it is almost impossible to correct bad recorded and clipping material. At least not without losing quality. If I were him, I would take that stuff and go like: "Hey Stewart! Please do re-recording of that. We need a properly mastered tape!" I cant say whose fault this is, most likely the developers who had to put alot of audio (sfx and music along with alot of level textures) on one disc. You cant blame them either, in the end its just background music and not a audio disc for sale.


Maybe it's just me or the U.S. copy but the game seems to put a lot more emphasis on the lows.
I crosschecked both the PAL and the NTSC versions. Same sound quality. That does not go for the other two games though.

I've got so many other games I can think of from both PSX and PS2 that I just wish I could have lossless audio of, but I just don't have the know how of how to get it...Thank you so much for putting in the effort for these games...I'm just downloading Spyro 3 now...I can't wait for the Crash OSTs when you get those done...Incidentally will you be including Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash when you do those? Many thanks again!

Thank you so much! I wish there were people who went through this amount of trouble for every game! Yeah, actually i was wondering about the fact i was the first one doing this for the spyro games.

Incidentally will you be including Crash Team Racing and Crash Bash when you do those? Most likely. When the music is rip-able they will be included. Some lunatic and fancy tracks in those two.

Can you please upload Spyro 2 to MU or MF? If MU means Megaupload check the links carefully, Rapidshare and Megaupload links are still online. If there are problems check again later.

I already told you i dont have it unedited. I would have to re-rip that track completly with all other stuff and cut it out. I dont see any reason why someone want an unedited version with horrible cracks in it. You can check the mp3 version and compare it to mine and you will notice that you wont miss a thing if that is what you are afraid of. Otherwise please explain it to me. Does my version suck? Is something bothering you in particular?

Easy. Your edit is noticeable (by removing one crack, you created a skip, that my ultra-sensitive ears can detect), and it interferes with the rhythm. On top of that, I liked the MP3 version that I had.

P.S. After I send you Sly 3 & Psychonauts OST's, I guess you could re-rip the music.

P.P.S. There is a version of Ripto's boss battle without the goofy opera man> YouTube - Spyro Music: Ripto's Arena (PAL) Theme: No Opera + mp3 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL8QqvppabM)

However i dont really understand why you bother to download a lossless file just to convert it to a lossy one. The whole idea of this project was to make it lossless for archiving reasons with best quality.
Not everybody has the sound system to hear the difference, and not everybody wants one soundtrack weighing in at 600MB-1GB.

If there is a lossless version of that Ripto's Arena track without the crazy opera guy, I certainly wouldn't mind...I've always found him a bit distracting...I don't know if one would be available though...Raziel, any idea when you might be able to start the Crash OSTs? I'm not trying to rush you, just wondering if you have a timeframe in mind? Many thanks again for your hard work...

I already had all 3 games in lossless FLAC I've extracted myself for years now ;)
"PS1 - [(PS1)Spyro 1 NTSC-FLAC (1999)] Lofty Castle, 37800 Hz, 793 kbps, < EXTRACTOR > : NoVa"

But at least now I can get them again if I ever loose my own. Thanks for uploading. Edit: On second thoughts, I just listened to the Lofty Castle and Twilight Harbour tracks from you. Honestly they don't sound as good on my ASUS Xonar D2X PCI-E sound card :( You still did a good job though.
I would have uploaded all of mine if only my upload speed wasn't so crap :(

However, I hope you did them in 37800Hz as that's the quality the tracks were originally in. Edit: I only just realized you actually altered the tracks and made them 44100.. >.>

@ Junesong: I might still have that track around somewhere, I could have a look if you want. The track without the opera guy was found in the PAL version of the game, Gateway to Glimmer.

Edit: Ok, here it is. That one track. 427 kbps Bitrate (original 604 kbps WAV).

Seems to be Mono. I think PAL games were in Mono, but NTSC is in Stereo..

Hi! No nothing new about the Crash Rips. First i will complete my Unreal Saga Project. Which will take some time, coz its freakin huge.

btw, to all those wondering about the mono quality of some releases: the PAL version features more languages (Multi5 European releases obviously) than the NTSC version.
they had to stack 5 times more audio material on one disc, therefore they had to make the most tracks mono (with very few exceptions). thats why i favor the ntsc release.

Since KlarkKent has recently sent me a PM requesting Crystal Flight (from the first game) without sound alterations, here it is.

If anyone else would like the Spyro 1, 2 and 3 tracks without sound alterations (of course, in lossless), feel free to contact me (I guess :P).


I used to have Medieval 1. No idea where the CD went. It probably got badly scratched & thrown away at some point cause it became unreadable (more than likely).
I did try extracting the music off it at one stage, and I think I failed.
Ironically speaking, I don't think I cared about Medieval much anyway :P
However, all of my Spyro disks are still in perfect condition :P

@Takehiro: You got some links mate? I'd be happy to hear how much different your remastered tracks are.
Oh, and, would they be from the so-called "Greatest Hits" version Klark was telling me about?
He was telling me the music from the Greatest Hits sound "better" & the version I provided is "bad" since I have the original games with the glitches (I must say I haven't run into any glitches at all in the originals - Weather it be the PAL or NTSC versions).

Ironically speaking, I've just been able to extract the XA tracks out of the PETEXA_.STR files from Spyro 1 & playing them directly in Foobar2000 without converting right this moment.
Spyro 1 - World 5 - Lofty Castle.xa. Best Spyro 1 track tbh.

Actually Klark, could you perhaps extract the STR files from your greatest hits version with CDmage & "upload" them somewhere if it has any?
I'm curious. I'd honestly like to hear if there really is any differences compared to the normal tracks as you say.

I played the game recently and I must say, that I developed nostalgia goggles only a few months after beating Spyro 1 for the first time.

That is, there aren't any differences, it's just my TV's speakers aren't that good and, as a side effect, the music actually sounded more crisp.

I could actually say the same here, actually.

Back on my 20+ year old CRT TV, I must say Spyro music also sounded more crisp as well.

Btw, have you by chance tried using a Noise Sharpening DSP (I'm using foobar2000 for this)?
Certainly makes a difference. Do you have the original track somewhere for comparing?
Well this is Lofty Castle with the Noise Sharpening DSP for Foobar2000 at 30% Strength;

btw - It seems the filesize of Lofty Castle is bigger in Apple Lossless format over FLAC. Might just be the default settings I've used for converting though (used ffmpeg).

Any reason why you prefer Apple Lossless over FLAC? Is it because it's iPod compatible?
I mean, both sources are lossless.

Actually, to do just a rip without any edits at all probably takes no more than 1 Hour at most if you ask me.

Oh, I've got better upload speed now. It takes me around 9 minutes to upload a 100MB file now at 180kB/sec, instead of around 30 Minutes to 40 Minutes at 40kB/sec.
So generally, I won't be as reluctant to upload stuff as I used to be back on my old net connection.

The problem is, no one ever appreciates it & the people sometimes become rude all of a sudden (like what happened earlier in this topic).

Maybe people should just do it themselves instead of bugging people. You do not have to use PSMPlay to extract PS1 Audio by the way.


Download and use CDMage to extract the STR/XA files from your Image (Spyro 1: PETEXA_, Spyro 2 and 3: SPEECH.STR)
Download VGMToolbox.
Run VGMToolbox.
Expand Misc. Tools
Expand Extraction Tools
Expand Streams
Select CD-XA Extractor
Drag the PS1 XA/STR file into the program
The Program will now start searching the ISO for Streams & they will be found in a directory where the ISO is located.
Download VGMStream for Foobar2000 or Winamp & put the required files inside the music player's correct directory
Import the extracted XA files VGMToolbox made into Foobar/Winamp.
???
PROFIT.


And if the Tracks finish too early, select a higher "Number of Silent Frames to determine EOF" in VGMToolbox. You could also convert to a File Format you want in Foobar or Winamp if you wish.

Honestly. It isn't that hard at all. Seriously.

Unfortunately, these programs are not for Mac OSX. And even if some of these ARE, certainly not all of them.

My only real problem are the fade-outs. I played the games, and every track fades out slowly, until there are about 3 seconds of silence before playing again. Raziel's tracks may sound good, but they fade out way too abruptly most of the time.

03-25-2012, 09:10 PM
dude, for real... i cannot see your problem with the fadeouts. i spent alot of time to make the fades right. i listen to them for countless times, and they blend just fine.

maybe its because of the hard- or software you use. i use an external hdd and external soundcard+dac and foobar for playback, the fades are point on.
another problem might occur if you transcode the flac files to another format. mp3 ist known for its terrible gap handling, always adding 1 extra sec of silence at the end of files.

about the quality:
i personally cannot stand the sound quality of other spyro rips anymore, after i listened to them remastered.
they may sound decent on desktop speakers, but with dac+headphones...no way to go.
if you cannot hear the vaste difference, you might consider getting yours ear examined.
though i can understand that collectors would like to store the unedited files for completion.

Compare your files with the files from the other thread. Those are MP3's and they fade out perfectly.

Most people can't use a DAW.

Here' what I'm curious about, how did you come up with the remix names for some of your tracks? (Alpine Ridge (Dream Weaver's Mix), Cliff Town (Peace Keeper's Mix), etc.). Because as it turns out both your and Raziel's rips match up.....other than the track names. Oh, and you each have one alternate that the other doesn't. Your rip has an Alternate Dark Hollow, this rip has an alternate Peace Keeper's "Theme" as he called them. Though if your mix names are correct then they aren't themes at all.

I downloaded it, but I didn't like much that "remasterization" since the high frequencies sound quite shrill, they sound like with a lossy compression despite the frequency spectrum is clearly full like lossless. I have ripped by myself the 3 PSX Spyro games. If someone is interested on having the OSTs with the untouched original game sound then should download these ones instead:

Spyro 1, 2 and 3 OST (Untouched Sound) [FLAC] (https://mega.co.nz/#F!2FpWSQpJ!EZvLAyfYhnd9cThDQ3LjyA)

I know there are some tracks repeated according to the levels where the tune was the same, but I preferred to leave them this way, preserving the supposed chronological order of the levels. I have also stripped some annoying "click" sounds on some Spyro 1 tracks, probably by an error of the processed signal in the studio.

Okay I just found out some things that I want to inform you with.
Apparently, my converter is to blame for the track being only 2 seconds long. When I downloaded the seperate track, it was only 2 seconds long as well, which made me think that couldn't be right. So I switched to a different converter, which suddenly made the track 3:15 minutes long. I have converted more than a thousand tracks with the old converter, and never having experinced a problem untill now, but I deeply apologize for this unencessity.
Your whole spyro 1 rar file is flawless, which counts for the Spyro 2 & 3 soundtracks as well. Thanks for your time and uploads once again MissingNo, Spyro is a classic which soundtrack I can't get enough of!

07-12-2013, 12:00 PM
Thanks for your words and don't worry, this hasn't bothered me at all. This phenomenon is common since sometimes flac encoders/decoders makes something wrong to the header of the file, causing some discrepancies and troubles of this kind, which doesn't affect to the binary data containing the music samples.

By the way, I just found an insignificant discrepancy in two titles in the Spyro 1 soundtrack. It's just that the names of the tracks 10 and 11 should be switched since track 10 is the unmastered version, while track 11 is the mastered one (sounds much better than the previous one). What I've done is switching the titles as well as the positions and editing the tags using Stamp ID3 Tag Editor, the program I originally used to tag all the files of this soundtrack. I said all this just in case you want to fix this little issue.

If you look at the previous page, you'll check that I already uploaded a lossless rip with no skipping track (and even indicating in the tracklist to what level or song corresponds the alternate versions); but thanks anyway.

By the way, the link you put is not Spyro 3 OST, but the Spyro 1 one and I guess it comes from the following post of the whole lossy OST collection of the Spyro games (I deduced it because the rar file is protected with a password):

KaFaraqGatri's "Spyro the Dragon" Music Collection (Thread 97596)

Please, review the content before posting and credit the original uploader.

By the way, I just found an insignificant discrepancy in two titles in the Spyro 1 soundtrack. It's just that the names of the tracks 10 and 11 should be switched since track 10 is the unmastered version, while track 11 is the mastered one (sounds much better than the previous one). What I've done is switching the titles as well as the positions and editing the tags using Stamp ID3 Tag Editor, the program I originally used to tag all the files of this soundtrack. I said all this just in case you want to fix this little issue.

Okay thanks for the heads up, I'll change it immediately!

I downloaded it, but I didn't like much that "remasterization" since the high frequencies sound quite shrill, they sound like with a lossy compression despite the frequency spectrum is clearly full like lossless. I have ripped by myself the 3 PSX Spyro games. If someone is interested on having the OSTs with the untouched original game sound then should download these ones instead:

Spyro 1, 2 and 3 OST (Untouched Sound) [FLAC] (https://mega.co.nz/#F!2FpWSQpJ!EZvLAyfYhnd9cThDQ3LjyA)

I know there are some tracks repeated according to the levels where the tune was the same, but I preferred to leave them this way, preserving the supposed chronological order of the levels. I have also stripped some annoying "click" sounds on some Spyro 1 tracks, probably by an error of the processed signal in the studio.

Hello MissingNo.,

I was wondering and with your permission of course, if I could share your link for the .flac files you uploaded. Very great quality and superbly done :D I will of course give all credit to you and even cite this hyperlink and post number for the entry.

I'm pretty sure that's still Klark Kent's rip, which is once again basically the game rip. It seems I'm the only one with Raziel's remaster, which is why I keep having to reupload it for people who apparently never bother to do me the favor of uploading it themselves....

......give me a few days and I'll have some working links for you if Raziel's is truly the version you want. I only have Spyro 1 and 2 though.

I, too, have Raziel's remastered upload of Spyro 1 and 2, and am willing to reupload them. You're not alone, Despair!

Shame that apparently no one seems to have Raziel's remastered Spyro 3, but even he himself said that it already sounded pretty good so not a lot of work was needed on it in comparison to Spyro 1 and 2 (especially 1).

I just realized that :o Can you upload them somewhere that's NOT mediafire.com. ? If you do can you RAR it into one file or 4 instead? Because it's a pain in the but to download all 90 songs one by one because I dont want to pay for mediafires PRO account. These are the files I got and reupped somewhere else (because AGAIN I don't want to go through mediafires BS) https://kickass.to/spyro-ps1-trilogy-ost-flac-t8445853.html Is that the Klark Kent?

Wow, I don't remember the files being this big.


Spyro The Dragon & Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage (or Gateway To Glimmer) - Stewart Copeland [FLAC]
http://i58.tinypic.com/6iw6r5.pnghttp://i62.tinypic.com/jre7af.png
48 tracks, TRT: 156mins, FLAC |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 38 tracks, TRT: 96mins, FLAC

Whimsical, refreshing and exciting, Stewart Copeland really brings a touch of magic while infusing a sauve coolness in crafting the unique soundscape of the Spyro universe. With these remastered versions, the synth is as crisp and vibrant as in our memories first playing through these gems. Despite some lingering sound issues in the first soundtrack, the scores have aged exceptionally well considering their peers from the same era. The variety of synths and sound effects overlaid by rocking electric guitars and smooth drum beats in each track makes the soundtracks a joy to listen through. Easily amongst the best in their genre.

I had some problems with MEGA too (Firefox with extension) just with the second file (Spyro the Dragon 2: Ripto's Rage) when it reaches 100%, nothing happens, so I tried to downloaded it 2 times, and the second one, worked, try to clear your web browser cache, and I hope that works, about the password, these files does not require password at all.

All we need is the Spyro 3 OST

The files are in m4a (apple lossless), they can be converted to FLAC without any loss in the process, since it would be from one lossless format to another lossless format.
