Hey guys, more of my looping work. None of the pieces on the official OST loop, and maybe that has contributed to some people's more negative reactions to this soundtrack. I looped every one that could and that brings the total time of this up more than an hour, and it's easily mostly the better for it. However, there will likely be some assembly required for most people, as some of these songs are better off not being so long. I figure it's best to let the listeners decide which ones for themselves, so as you listen, if you think something is too long, if you already have this soundtrack, you should replace that track with the file from your regular set, and if you don't already have it, go to this page (http://bluelaguna.net/music/lost-odyssey-ost-soundtrack/mp3s.php) to download the individual MP3, or I'll upload individual FLACs for you if you ask. No problem at all there. I should say, there are only five that I prefer to not loop.

Thanks to Sirusjr for his FLAC upload in the Lossless Video Game Soundtrack Thread from which I made these. This is the complete soundtrack, including all the non-looping tracks for the sake of ease. I just thought that I probably should have marked which ones I did stuff to, but it's a little late now. :laugh: Here's the list of tracks that do NOT loop:
102 Battlefield
104 Finishing Blow
105 An Immortal Life
108 Victory
119 Eclipse of Time (Harp Version)
126 I Will Return, No Matter What... (Piano)
129 A Sign of Hope
201 "I Will Return, No Matter What..." (Vocal Version)
206 Demonic Infringement
208 Decision
210 What You Are (Guitar Version)
219 Seth's Theme
220 Light of Blessing ~ A Letter
221 What You Are (Vocal Version)
222 Main Theme
223 Eclipse of Time (Vocal Version)

I used videos on YouTube to help me find the correct looping points for certain tracks, but this seemed to me only needed for three: "Wohl Highlands", "The Capital of Uhra", and "The Witch's Mansion". It sounds like "Demonic Infringement" should loop, but it actually can't. Listen to the notes at the end at what sounds like the loop point and then go back to the beginning; they're not the same. This track plays in movie scenes and, from what I saw on YouTube, it normally doesn't even get to play this long.

The artist tags of these files are by arranger and then, when applicable, vocalist, meaning mostly as "Satoshi Henmi, Hiroyuki Nakayama" because we all know Uematsu composed the music, but Henmi and Nakayama are the arrangers, and thus responsible for how you're hearing what you're hearing. Uematsu is still in the composer and album artist tags, I just wanted to give a little more credit where it's due. I also don't understand why people always tag vocal tracks as the vocalist simply being the artist when, like for example here, Sheena Easton sang lyrics someone else wrote to a tune someone else wrote over an instrumental backing that other people wrote and performed.


If anyone finds a track that I looped in the wrong place, certainly notify me and I'll do my best to fix it up. And, as always, just tell me if the links go down. Hope you enjoy!

nice work, even when I don't care, thinking LO is so much better off w/o looping :-) so thanks, despite not downloading

what a epic waste of time lolz

That's great. Thank you very much!

*downloads*

What program did you used to create the looping? Is there also a program that can help you find the loop point? More than that is there a thread that talks about things like these like a tutorial?

Lost Odyssey deserves this love. I'd argue it's one of Uematsu's best. Thanks for the hard work and generosity. :D :D :D

I used Sony's ACID Pro 7.0, but it's not like it's automated. You have to do the work yourself, listening for the loop point and then making it seamlessly segue into the repeat. I haven't seen a thread, but I can teach you. It's not too hard once you get the hang of it.

Thank you, sir. :D

Can you please re-upload the soundtrack? I lost it when my hard drive crashed and the links do not work anymore. Thank you. :D

Would anyone kindly upload this or point to an active link somewhere? Thanks much.

There's a DepositFiles link active that can be found here (http://depositfiles.org/files/rkk71m91g), but, unfortunately, it happens to be corrupted or damaged - once it downloads, and you open it, it will give you an "unexpected end of archive" message. I tried that link two times with the same result in each.

If you don't care for FLAC, however, then try here.

Thanks for the help Boss Lady, I'll try my luck with the first link. The second link however just gives me a 404...

Weird, that link works fine on my end.

Either way, if the FLAC download fails, I'll gladly re-upload it in lossy.

Thanks much, I'll report back if this file doesn't work. :)


EDIT: yes, the archive is corrupted for me too. If you could upload the mp3 version I would appreciate it. :) Thanks.

Okey dokey, then. I'll get a link working as soon as I possibly can.

However, if you feel like trying anew, it is uploaded here (http://kuai.xunlei.com/d/EJQTMDTVDGYI), too. I've tried downloading from there, but the download always times out and craps on me; I can't never get it to go past 35%. But perhaps lady luck is far more generous with you. Right click and open in new windows to download.

Thanks! How did you find this crazy link? :) I'll give it a shot, maybe I'll get lucky. And thanks for reuploading the mp3s.

It is a crazy link, isn't it? I often go out of my way to try and find stuff, in other words, Google is a very beautiful thing when properly used. Essentially I searched for the Japanese title, and was redirected to a Chinese forum that had that link, but unfortunately I never manage to get it to work, as previously stated.

Anyway, I'll try to get the lossy link ready soon. :)

^ Thanks, cause that download timed out on me as well, heh.
