As much as I’d like to explain how this all works, and what exactly it is, I know that some of you simply don’t care. There’s a ton of extra information on the "readme" file that I included. Thanks to all who supported me on this project. I mentioned a few of you in the file as well. This album is for the fans who love the music of Uncharted. Maybe in a few years I’ll come back and give The Lost Legacy the same treatment.
Please do not share this anywhere else. Help each other out with links below if it expires, or whatever. Let me know how it is in the comments too. Hopefully there aren’t any glaring issues. I’ll be leaving the country next month, but until then I can respond and confront some issues if needed.
Enjoy!
I LOVE the Uncharted games and it’s scores, and this is one of the best.
And Zbuckner. There’s been a bit of discussion here recently how some people just download and run without saying thanks — but know that your work hasn’t been in vain. I’m sure that to many this is a really big deal (especially me — one of my favorite scores of all time!) so great work!
Will post more updates the further I listen.
@massivejohn Thank you so much man, that’s really good to hear. I’m glad that people are able to enjoy this thing, it truly is a masterpiece on Jackman’s part.
I am eager to hear more of the music. Even though I think Greg Edmonson did a better job in catching the ethics and sound of the countries Nathan visits.
But "The Twelve Towers" or "New Devon" however, woah… That’s some epic piece of music! So I love the Uncharted 4 Score too and I am happy to have the chance to hear some of the best video game music there is with the Uncharted series. Even the "Golden Abyss" score is awesome!
If you indeed plan to do the same for Lost Legacy at some point — you can be sure I’ll be here the day you post it.
@Kayleena Ah yes, Golden Abyss is the only one I haven’t played, I’ll have to check that out. I do have a passion for the music of Uncharted, for sure 🙂
And yes, Greg Edmonson was exceptional at capturing the locations and countries of the previous game. In this one, Jackman did an excellent job of making sure this game’s sound and tone really portrayed the "one last adventure" feel.
@massivejohn Yes, that’s another one of those issues that would be fixable, but I didn’t think that it was quite worth the extra time, at least not for now. The reason for the somewhat inconsistent audio levels is because there are a lot of tracks that have really quiet audio, and then there’s suddenly a really loud cue in the middle of the gameplay. I made sure to normalize everything so that the peak amplitude is -1db, but that won’t change the difference in those quiet-to-loud sections. Unfortunately that’s the nature of background video game music, but it works well for what it’s designed to do. Thanks for the feedback, I’m glad to hear that there’s no other major sound issues!
@GrayEdwards You know, as much as incomplete OSTs irk me, Jackman’s original album does have that narrative line in there. It’s a very good release on it’s own, packed with different emotional beats.
@Hakke That might be the kindest thing anyone has said to me. Many thanks, my friend.
So, now we have complete rips of UC1, UC2, UC4 and Golden Abyss. UC3 at least got tons of officially released tracks, but a rip would be nice, of course. Also I’m not entirely sure if Lost Legacy re-used music from UC4.
Why you saved as mp3?
You recorded as mp3 or wav?
