I managed to rip the BGMs from the game archive and converted and tagged them to a semi-proper format.

A few notes:
- These files come directly from the game with extraction and conversion done to MP3 (V1) by myself.
- I tried my best to properly tag and offer the songs in the best way I can with all the variations available. Because of this, it requires a bit of action on your side.
- This is NOT the Original Soundtrack that releases on March 29th.
- There's one track that does not appear in the Jukebox, which I named "Crumbling Lies (Route C Opening)."
- Please do not listen to Emil's Shop (DEATH VERSION). You have been warned. (It's in the game like that.)

On the song/folder format:
- I placed the songs in Jukebox listing order.
- Files are in separate folders because of the nature of the BGMs. They come in a variety of quiet/medium/dynamic/8bit with the vocal track separately over it, this is how it's played ingame. I humbly request you to mix your own vocals on versions as you like.
- Exceptions are some songs that only have a vocal/non-vocal version.
- I took liberty with "The Weight of the World (the End of YoRHa)." This song plays at the very end of the game (credits), and it comes in like 20 separate tracks that get dynamically mixed based on your progress during it. I encoded a few versions of the song that I feel like the majority would be okay with.

If there's any questions or suggestions, please let me know.



With that said, please enjoy!

Fantastic effort. Much appreciated.

In regard to soundtrack itself, the song "Alien Manifestation" (with vocals) reminded me of a track from Ghost in the Shell that plays early in the movie. This one : M05 Chant II-Ghost City (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BKtYcE-14o).

I'll be posting the OST rip shortly after release date when it arrives. Pre-ordered it a couple weeks ago.

Thanks for this! I had downloaded someone else's rip who just had it all in one giant MP3 file. I split the file down into individual tracks but gave up at that point. Being impatient has its drawbacks! At least with your format I can use audacity to layer everything together, removing about 5 steps from my own work!

Thanks i've been waiting !! Thanks man

Thanks for this, this will hold me over until the official release.

Impressive work! Thanks for your effort. This is certainly more comprehensive than the official release will be, so it's nice to have!

Been really liking NieR albums. Cant wait for the official release but this will definitely keep me sane till then.

Can someone mix in the vocals for the stage tracks?

Thanks you!

Many thanks!

Amazing work OP! Thank you!!!

Thanks for taking the time to rip and share it with us! Much appreciated!!

Thanks! however, are the Vocal Stage tracks not in the album, or am I missing something?

Can someone mix in the vocals for the stage tracks?

Excellent work, I've been looking for a game rip. Thanks!!

Amazing ! Great stuff, many thanks ! ;)

Amazing thank you!

Does "vocals" include the choir-like stuff in several songs? Glad to know that you can rip it separately, I'm more fond of the instrumental part.

Thank you.

Thanks a lot! This is an amazing job! :)

Thank you very much!

Is it possible to release the original audio files, you extrackted from the game, the ones you converted later to mp3? I guess it must be ogg, I think, or wav. I would really appreciate it, please! I want to start mixing the whole thing, but I want to have the best quality available for this.

Excelent work man, thank you

I'm so looking forward for your mixes. Thanks for the good work!

Is it possible to extract sound effects like UI, menus, items..Etc?

Everything that is separate already is, with the only exclusion being the End of YoRHa version of Weight of the World.

I... could? The only issue is that I encoded to mp3 before tagging everything. So I could upload the original files, but everything would be untagged with generic names like BGM_00_01_00003afcf.ogg. Alternatively, I could PM you with the tools and batch file I put together to unpack/extract the files directly from the game. You'd only need a copy of the PC version of the game. Just let me know.

It is, you just need a CPK unpacker and a dtt extractor. Look around on the facepunch forums in the NieR Automata models thread for the tools to do that.

You should probably upload all the original files, people will want all the variations.

Also, if the sound effects are also available, see if you can find the bell sound that plays as part of the music during the Simone battle. Kind of an out-there request, but it's timed to the rhythm when the boss attacks and it would be cool to mix it into the boss track in question.

Semi-related since people here might be interested, I made mixes that fade between different versions of a couple of tracks from the original Nier. These variations were missing from the OST. Namely, the calm versions of Hills of Radiant Wind and The Lost Forest, and a version of Shadowlord that fades into music box at the end:

With Mega, you have to post the link with the encryption key, otherwise the file is inaccessible.

Oh, whoops. They do have the encryption key, the problem is that I copypasted the links from another thread and they were truncated by the formatting.

Anyway, listening through the Automata rips and "A Beautiful Song phase 2" seems to just be Grandma - Destruction. A mixup? Maybe that track is supposed to be the bells, that would be convenient.

Also the "scene change" version of Dark Colossus is actually the percussion track - it's supposed to be overlaid with one or more of the others.

Additionally, the route C opening track is actually what you called Crumbling Lies (Front), the one you have labeled as Route C Opening is actually the music from the trailer that plays if you wait at the title screen. (I'm making notes here as I listen through it)

I think I just messed up with Beautiful Song phase 2 and didn't remove it, since I know for a fact that I mislabeled it at one point and then fixed it. So it's just a dupe.

As for the Dark Colossus one (and all the other "background" tracks), I just guessed titles since those things don't play in the jukebox but are listed close to each other in the archive (and have the same duration).

Crumbling Lies (Front) is the correct version. Just listen to the Jukebox. The Route C Opening is Sound of the End (Quiet) transitioning into Crumbling Lies (Front).

Thanks a ton for this tremendous effort.

Thanks. Now to download it, since MEGA and your mirrors are playing tough. If anyone could put up a Mediafire mirror or something I would be very thankful.

I guess the Jukebox mislabels it as well then. The song called "Route C Opening" in your rip definitely is the version that plays at the title screen and not the one that actually plays during said opening.

Oh, the "Route C Opening" is just what I named it. I was sure it played during the Bunker escape with Sound of the End playing during the escape, and the transition happening when you exit.

I half misread your post. I thought you meant that "Route C Opening" was actually Crumbling Lies (Front).

And I uploaded a torrent on nyaa, just search for NieR: Automata Soundtrack.

Yes! Thanks for the torrent!

Holy shit. Thank you for this soundtrack dude.

I... could? The only issue is that I encoded to mp3 before tagging everything. So I could upload the original files, but everything would be untagged with generic names like BGM_00_01_00003afcf.ogg.

Yes, it will be ok, if you will just upload the untagged ogg files. It will completely enough. Thanx!

I'm so looking forward for your mixes. Thanks for the good work!

Thank you, hope you'll like it! I also almost finished mixing Drakengard 3 soundtrack, but it is only on my Youtube channel at the moment, check these out if you like:

This is absolutely fantastic and EXACTLY what I wanted, thank you so so much for this! :D

I'd like to add that the version of Grandma [Destruction] that's mislabeled as A Beautiful Song Second Phase is not actually a dupe. There should be three versions of Grandma, and that's one of them. The two already in the Grandma folder are actually the regular version with vocals, and the version with neither vocals nor percussion. This is the no vocals WITH percussion version. So yeah, don't go deleting that one!

Also, I've got to second the request for the full ripped files as they were before MP3 conversion, regardless of tagging and whatnot. For science.

A good effort all round, thank you very much for the rip :) weird they have all these variations separately though, I never seen a game that did that before.

What do you mean? It's more common than you think

...OH right I forgot this was a rip and not an OST haha my bad. I was thinking "man this is weird for an OST" but no since it's a rip this makes more sense. Sorry I'm dumb.

Thank you very much !

It took a few hours but I managed to get everything organized and tagged. This is the entire soundtrack based on this rip with the vocal versions of the tracks already compiled and everything. There are 171 tracks total. I left out he Japanese versions of Emil's songs and a few others that were in Japanese but just about everything else should be here. Thanks to kazukimutou1 for the rip and I hope that the rest of you find this to your liking.

Well, the Japanese versions are better so people will want those. Either way it's best to wait for the lossless files before mixing anything. Mixing mp3 files together is a big no-no.

You should probably upload all the original files, people will want all the variations.

The link for the Lost Forest is not working :(

It does if you remove the extra h at the start. I edited the post anyway.

By the way, the Shade and Rays of Light versions of City Ruins have their names mixed up in OP's rip.

Alternatively, I could PM you with the tools and batch file I put together to unpack/extract the files directly from the game. You'd only need a copy of the PC version of the game. Just let me know.

Can you do that, please? I don't know how to extract it on my own, I'm not good at this at all :(

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your rips :D

Thank you for adding the voices to the stage songs and battles, SuperiorOverlord. Great rip, kazukimutou1!

Thanks for this.

Still waiting on lossless files...

Edit: Looks like someone posted them here: Thread 215929

Only "lossless" in the sense of being the original game files though. Obviously they are still compressed, but only once instead of twice or thrice.

I wonder why you warn us about Emil's Shop (Death Version)? and which one it is?

You're doing God's work fam

Many thanks for sharing the music! :3

And I know this is a weird question, but any chance the voice files could be shared aswell?

Thank you kazukimutou1 and SuperiorOverlord!

Seconded

Voice of no Return (Normal - Vocals)
and
Voice of no Return (Normal - no Vocals)
seem to be identical

Has anyone gotten around to ripping the DLC only tracks yet?

Thanks for the effort guys! Amazing OST coming from SQEX this year (it compensates the bland one FF XV OST is...)

Thanks!

Has anyone ripped the dlc stuff or know where it could be found?

Thanks!

Not quite.

So.. awesome! Thank you! Exactly what I was looking for!

Any chance of these being in original format? I believe the game's file are in .ogg

Thanks.

This is the one I was looking for with all the versions separated and not all in 1 track list thanks.

Thanks!
