This my first ever release on this forum, but I thought why not, I have been enjoying this DLC too much for it to be sane and after the overwhelming positive feedback I received on the upload of this to YouTube I decided to share it here with everyone.

The cover artwork was done by myself using Adobe Photoshop CC 2017. One-Hit Obliterator artwork was obtained from the game's official north american website.
As stated above, Audio was taken directly from the WiiU game files.
The arrangement of the tracks is done in the order you play the game, for the most part.
Cutscenes audio have no voice and reduced SFX product of mixing the channels in such a way the SFX are reduced to a minimum, while keeping the general tone of the track, all the cutscene audios have been tweaked so they're more consistent, I did my best! foobar2000 and Adobe Audition CC 2017 were involved in the process.
Layout of this post inspired by !!!!!

Feedback is really appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks so much! :D

Thank you

Very nice! Why not share the WAV files, too? Converting to MP3 loses some quality. Or are they too big to upload?

Thanks!!!

Yeah, doing that would mean an upload of a file 8 times bigger, and my internet has really slow uploading speed. That aside, I haven't really found a way to add ID3 tags to .wav files, I just do all of that with Windows itself and iTunes, and none offer me the option do add them, iTunes won't even add the files to the library, so I just converted them to mp3.

I understand .wav offers more quality but it's hardly audible, if audible at all. I'm still fairly new to doing this in a way (releases), but I see a lot of people use .m4a which I believe is better? I have to do some investigation regarding it, unless I find someone who wants to talk about it and give me some knowledge and tips. :)

If you want a good compromise use FLAC. It offers the exact same quality as a .wav file but at a much smaller filesize. Wav uses a constant bitrate whereas FLAC is variable. Plus, you can tag FLAC files!

Oh yeah, for a while I've known that .flac files are very good quality audio files. And, yeah I believe that's true, the only issue though is that despite being able to add tags, at least some audio players won't really add it to the library, I believe? I mean at least I have never been able to get a .flac album on my iTunes library (that's why the Okami soundtrack is just sitting there by itself on the gaming music folders haha). I believe though, I'd have to convert from the streamed audio file from the wiiU data directly to .flac, I haven't really checked if foobar gives me that option. Will look into it for future works! Thanks a bunch for the tip.

If you add the vgmstream plugin to Foobar, it should be able to read the Wii U audio files and transcode them to FLAC. I'm sure there's a ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec, which is a lossless format compatible with iTunes) converter plugin for Foobar as well.

Thanks !

I like m4a, as 256 m4a is about the same quality as 320 mp3 with a much smaller file size, but I haven't seen many people on this forum use m4a.

I think TheSkeletonMan939's suggestion to transcode directly to FLAC is best.

Thanks

Thanks a lot !

Can you share a FLAC version, please?

Are you able to reupload? Every time I try to download it, it says the RAR is damaged.

thank you very much!

Thanks, this is great! Also did DLC 1 have any extra music, like when you're putting the Master Sword in the pedestal? Couldn't remember, and I haven't completely finished it yet.

I didn't have any issues downloading it.

I don't know what's up. I've downloaded the file twice, tried THREE different unarchival programs on both copies, and all report the rar files as damaged and cannot extract files.

I'm afraid for the time being, I cannot.

It does, it includes a few new jingles and a couple tracks at most, nothing else.

Try again, so far, only two people have reported problems with it. Try downloading on another machine maybe.

Cannot unpack it also. Can not open the file as [Rar] archive, is not archive. Im using 7zip.

It worked for me, though I shamefully never said thank you to Simon

I had the same issue. You need to update your winrar to the latest one.

Updating to the latest version of your preferred software to unpack .rar files has been successful among people who have been having trouble. Give it a shot.

Thanks!

Thanks dude! And thanks to those who found a solution with extracting the files. Just had to change my RAR extractor program to a different version.

Can you, in the future, for "Divine Trial" and "Monk Maz Koshia", make theme who evolves gradually, like !!!!! made it with "Vah Medoh, Ruta, Naboris and Rudania" ?

For exemple : Divine Trial start with "Divine Trial (No Terminals)", then "Divine Trial (1 Terminal)", "DT 2 Terminal", 3 and 4, but in ONE theme

Thanks in advance

Sorry I don't plan on updating this release, so no. Plus I don't really think the outcome is smart, that would end up with tracks that are over 5 or 10 minutes long in some cases, which in my opinion isn't handy.

Oh, ok... :-(

I like themes who evolve progressively, like !!!!! made it.

But ok, no problem.
Thanks for your answer

Thanks! Any chance you can get your hands on the Switch files of the DLC? ADPCM audio bitrate is quite a bit higher so it would make for better sound.

Sorry, as far as I'm aware people haven't decrypted a recent dump (post DLC) of the files, so I don't have any mean to get hold of the files, I don't own a Switch much less games to make dumps and do that myself. :/

I was missing the DLC tracks from my music library. Thank you very much!
