thanks... and where is the vinyl rip you'd promise to do btw? :)

Interesting... would this kind of material be considered master tapes or something? I guess it's not a game rip and definitely not the Manhunt Remixes album that I had, so what is this?

How do you know it's not a game rip ?
The cover looks fan-made to me.

Don't worry, that's definitely on the way :) I wanted to post this first!

Its fan made but sometimes boots come without artwork and you have to make them :)

So does 'boots' mean master tapes = original source wav files?

Good password btw :P

Thank you

Hehe :) No boots is short for bootlegs.

I just got Manhunt 2 uncut for the PC, the AO version. Its so brutal.

Thank you.

Ah crap, some ghetto ass bootleg release :P just kidding, good share.

These are boots!

and yes, they usually come without artwork :-D

Hehehehe :D

Next up: Manhunt 2 (44/24-bit)

I just got Manhunt 2 uncut for the PC, the AO version. Its so brutal.

You must be kidding. :eye:

Lol its pretty brutal :) Not only is there is no blur/scratch filter, theres more blood, cries of pain (when shooting them with guns), the blood doesnt fade away as fast after they die, and as they lay on the floor, blood spurts from their wounds with splashing sound effects. I didnt think the AO version would be much different but it is.

Manhunt is my favourite Rockstar game, just so brilliant.

Thanks for this. Brings back good memories. (My family thinks Manhunt 1 fucked up my teenage years. :P)

Mine too, I love it. I came to it very late but I remember it literally thrilling me when I first played it. I was shaking all over, it was so visceral and exciting and so dark. I loved playing it on dark nights!

I got the same Edition,it was the one that was only distributed by that online Service Digital.
But brutal ? It could get a PEGI 12+ with Violence and bad Speach Sticker from me.
Besides that,Manhunt 2 whas Bullshit, Manhunt 1 was godly, we just need a Manhunt 3 that play like 1 in HD Graphics....

Nah people are too harsh on MH2. Its a decent sequel. But 1 is superior for sure!

I missed the Tension and the thrilling Music when you where hiding in the Dark from Skinheads with Smiley Masks.
And dont forget Pigsy and his Chainsaw...

:dondraper:

Great game, great music. Thanks for sharing!

And dont forget Pigsy and his Chainsaw...

Ack how could I, I still shit myself when I play it lol.

The snuff film idea was awesome.

Ive had to re-add the credits music as it was incomplete. Ive also added the fixed back artwork too.

Just saw this thread. Wanted to say this is a superb job by Takehiro. A pretty appropriate day to be playing this music.

Thanks man. And too right, its the perfect night for it. I havent played any horror scores today - for shame :(

do you have a mp3 format for this ?

You can convert the FLACs to MP3 easily using free software.

Manhunt is Awesome. Thanks for the upload!!!

okay.. can u upload at mediafire or rapidshare ?megaupload at malaysia got blocked..

I could do a multiupload mirror in MP3 if thats OK? It'll be VBR-0 as thats the best quality for this kind of material (mostly low frequencies). Or 320k if you insist.

it's up to you.. im okay with both... :) thanks in advance..

Heres a 16-bit VBR-0 version:

thanks takehiro.. appreciate that..

Hey, its no problem at all. Happy to help where I can.

Reupped.

So is this a bootleg and not a game-rip? I don't want to spend the time downloading something unless it's better quality than what I already have (the PS2 game files).

So is this a bootleg and not a game-rip?wondering as well. based on what is said some way down the first page (about some of the music being incomplete), it seems a lot like the files were ripped from the game and then KaFaraqGatri went about 'remastering' them on his own.

Its a game rip from the PC version.

Thanks for the share!
Did I get it right, this rip was recorded from the wave output?
That's the shit that no one still create the PAK archive extractor, so we really can get everything we want..

Yes, recorded at 24-bit with slight manual clean-up afterwards. Took me ages lol.

Great work O_O
I'll be digging web in search of any way to unpack the original sounds! I really like it too.

The game's music files can at least be played with vgmstream and WinAmp (PS2) or with towav (PC).

Sorry for being too emotive here, but I feel myself like I'm opening a great mystery (as it for me - definitely)

monkeygra Wow! Dude thanks!!
The last version of Manhunt that I had contained only one .PAK file and I didn't find anything to unpack it. I thought it's the only option with it.
But your post, and further googling gave me clues..
One of version I got today, gave me a second clue that it's resources can lay there unpacked. and yes fuck yes! ...
Listening for a rip albums for some time I already get used to ripped ambient scores like KaFaraqGatri's, and I played the game long long time ago when it was released (what a shame)
Every stage folder consist of 8 wav files in 3 game sound packs called RIBs (lol), and there is not only the ambience O_O

Looks like everyone, and KaFaraqGatri, was standing in the shadow and recording their rips of ambience :) (no offence, great work as I said before)
But I forgot The game, and yep I didn't know such a music style like rhythmic noise. Which is playing in fight scenes, being discovered and hurt I suppose. I think Rockstar thought about releasing a score for Manhunt, but they just gave up, because already made an impossible job by making such a gigantic soundtrack for the game. Music is 671Mb in it's game, and yes, archived format. 30Mb of RIBs converts to .. 120Mb of wav.
First of all I thought "oh, imperfect program created big wav of loops" - NO. I carefully checked - there is no loops in a single file.

In every music folder there is *_D.RIB, *_L.RIB which is short (9-12 seconds) of ambience, and *_M.RIB which consists 6-tracks. 0 to 3, for kind of 'calm' 'disturbed' 'distress' and 'fight'.
And 4,5 for stage sound ambience. It could be a heavy rain, crickets or .. as for asylum - electrocuting procedure with patient screaming and begging for mercy O_O straight 3m44s in a row, then loop...
Every pack's track is long! 3-5 minutes.

Sorry to upset you KaFaraqGatri but everything is 16-bit 22050 Hz, BUT! :) it sounds clearer without any (needed) processing throught game engine to wave output.
Here is screenshot of audio spectrogram to compare, it is the same music, only the Hz scale is differs a half. I don't really think it ends there at 11kHz and it is a just freeware app file handling.
Here is FLAC of the track 'Menu Ambience' but from the resources.

Whew. What a wild ride back to the world of madness and horror. I remmember when I finished Manhunt for the first time. I was 16-17 years old dammit. I was playing for all that day, and it was night already. After finishing.. Kinda in minutes, dad asked me to take out the garbage... Oh boy how did I lurk through the shadows approaching to that trash container. Thank god no one came across me, I'd either piss myself or.. maybe kill 'em?

As for Rockstar, and now - us!, It should be done a great score OST, two discs with ambience and 2-3 with action music. Dark Ambient, Drone, Rhytmic Noise.

Here is the extractor tool I used { towav (http://www.ctpax-x.ru/index.php?goto=files&show=24) } it's command line and website in Russian. But the tool is simple. It have ConvAll.bat, which will try to convert every single file in directory (and fin.RIBs too) so you can just put them to this dir and run .bat

I love VGM. Sometimes it's not just vgMusic -- it's Symphony.

Sorry to upset you KaFaraqGatri but everything is 16-bit 22050 Hz, BUT! :) it sounds clearer without any (needed) processing throught game engine to wave output.

I do all my recording at 24-bit (even if the source isnt) because you are meant to do that, then dither down. But yeah, the cut-off - Manhunt 2 is like that. I did a rip of that using toWav (the rip of which is also posted on this forum) but I couldnt get it working on Manhunt. Can you PM me about this, would love to know more. I tried with the PS2 and PC versions but with no luck!

Manhunt 2's music is in loop form, and from my recording of Manhunt the music on there is looped too (you can see slight clicks at some of the loop points).

Yes, I said in in previous post that there is two different game-files models for the Manhunt. One is an unextractible PAK (I couldn't find extractor) and the other is opened one.. Maybe extracted one was only in "Repack" version. It fits on 2 CDs
Here is filesystem


If you couldn't find some I'll find link for you.
PS If the only way is repack version - pay attention on it being Loseless repack, with nothing cut-out nothing recoded.

KaFaraqGatri, how's doing? :) Did you find what what looking?
I'd post a link in the previous message but the best repack I got was having stupid jokes in it, and it was made by Russian dude (too) so I felt kinda shame to show off it to everyone :D

Sorrry, havent had a chance to look at it yet. How do I go about doing it? Do you have some links?

Hi.
Here is the best I suppose Repack that I used myself (with two little stupid jokes in installation that I'll fix when I decided to burn it on 2 CDs)

Hi, could you reup the link, please to a Manhunt sound track? In same 24bit quality if it is no problem to you :)

I'll see about this in a few days.

please download this music at rutracker.org. Thank you

Reupload finally. I waited for the author to make it and then just forgot.

Dammit, looks like now to download from 4shared you must enter with facebook or something, or to register. Tell me if you hate it, cuz I already hate it, uploading 810Mb for such a.. not direct link.. And no torrent link that I thought I'll get.
