[MP3 320] Donkey Kong 64 Complete (Correct Pitch)

Hi all,

After searching endlessly, I was disappointed to find that all of the DK64 rips out there have pitch and tempo issues. While messing around with the USF files for DK64, I discovered that different foobar plugins for playing USF files resulted in different sounds. At first, I used the plugin found on foobar’s official site (foobar2000: Components Repository – USF Decoder (http://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_input_usf)) to play/convert the tracks. However, playback was identical to other DK64 rips I’ve heard, in that the pitch was slightly lower for every single track. After searching more, I stumbled upon used a different USF plugin for foobar: USF Central (http://hcs64.com/usf/). And what do you know, when playing from the same USF files, there were no pitch or tempo issues! I converted the files to MP3 320kbps, and I’m sharing them with you now. Enjoy!

EDIT: As pointed out by MagnetMan34 below, I actually uploaded the FLAC version of this rip, not MP3 320. I’ll update in the future with the MP3 version.

Apparently the problem is now fixed on the foobar site; just as an FYI. Thanks for the link too. 🙂

Thank you very much!

For those who plan on downloading it, it’s not MP3 320 KPBS, but FLAC. Either way, you can get MP3’s with a mass convert program such as xrecode.

Thanks for pointing that out! I corrected the original post. 🙂

Before I download this, do the files have proper tracknames? I just found the complete soundtrack last week, but like you said, there were obvious tempo deficiencies, plus it’s only 128 CBR.

Yes, this rip is tagged with proper track names.

Out of curiosity, have you uploaded the MP3 version of this soundtrack?

SO. NICE. THANK YOU

Thank you!

Fantastic work. Thank you for this!

I love you, man ^_^

Im very grateful for this masterpiece and for your work. Thanks.

Do you have the Music without the background noise? "!!!!!" used to have a Gamerip that had some of the tracks without the background noise. Here are some examples:

Jungle Japes (w/o Ambience)

Jungle Japes – Mountain (w/o Ambience)

Boss 3 – Vs. Mad Jack (w/o Laughs)

Gloomy Galleon (w/o Ambience)

Fungi Forest (Day) (w/o Ambience)

Fungi Forest (Night) (w/o Ambience)

Creepy Castle (w/o Laughs)

Creepy Castle Ballroom (w/o Laughs)

Sorry to be so picky, and thanks in advance!

No, that requires a custom game rip. I’m not sure there are any non-ambience versions of DK64 other than !!!!!’s custom job.
