I'm not listening to it through WinAMP. I'm listening to it through GoldWave because I need that music to edit into the Star Wars soundtracks.

ahh... it's working in Windows Media Player, so I can record what I need to into GoldWave, or open it in Audacity and re-output it into WAV.

deleted

Nope, I use stereo mix to record rather than the mic and it records exactly what I hear.

STATUS REPORT

- Battlefield: Bad Company -

As the format has finally been cracked, I can take a look at this again. Still have the image, will need to extract it again. I'm curious what I'll find now. ;)


good news! radio surf is great, good luck with this rip :)

STATUS REPORT

Some time has passed and I'm pretty busy with my diploma right now, so progressions will be slow till end of April. Just to warn you.


- Ghost Recon: Advancedd Warfighter -

As already confirmed by Kataah, this rip is extremely time consuming because the segments don't follow any sane pattern. I'll have to guess which one belongs where. I've decided to rip this game in the background and open a gate again. OrangeC is ok with this. Will need at least two more months for the rip.

Sounds good to me alpha :)

I know graw will be a great rip of yours once it gets done. :D

Record some silence and normalize what you just recorded - I bet you'll hear a lot of nice static. ;)

Ah, Adobe Soundbooth got rid of that.

hello alpha23 can you please rip for me x-men mutant academy 1 from psp 1??

What about X-men legends?

Hey Alpha,

Not sure if it is possible for you to rip, but I wanted to request content from the new Resident Evil 5 DLC... songs from "Lost in Nightmares", "Desperate Escape", and "Mercenaries Reunion"...

I know JBTND already got his request in, but I wanted to inquire if it was possible for you to do so (computer application tools-wise, I mean).

Thanks.

Edit: I read one of your stipulations from the first post that you only take "western" composers... not sure if my request meets this stipulation... but I guess I'll let you be the judge of that.

I was already aware of this rip, but I wanted to see if Alpha could do a better quality and looping rip than what the other one.

Composer for X-Men: Mutant Academy is David Logan.

The picture link in the first post for x-men isn't working.;)

Dear Alpha, I was hoping you would rip KOTT 2 , any chance now since the gate is open ?

Alpha, thanks for the new star wars rip - I can't wait to hear it!
Any chance of a full Star Wars: Bounty Hunter rip?
Thanks again and keep up the good work

Thanks alot timo. :)

UPDATE

Finally finished! This took me so long because the score had plenty of duplicates I had to search and delete, which was extremely tedious. Especially for the movie sequences, which sometimes fade into the middle of some track. But in the end I found three tracks that were apparently cutscene-exclusives.
I decided to split the rip in two parts: The Expanded XBox 360 Score and the Radio Stations. I didn't leave the single stations in whole but split them to search through tracks. You'll need a gapless player (like Winamp) for them.
Once again, this should be the most complete rip out there. =)

These are the bonus tracks I ripped, edited and included:

intro music without SFX (edited from the Credits)
two unused tracks from the official soundtrack
an early demo cue from the teaser trailer
five other trailers
"Runnin' Wild" by Airborne (the song from the 'Run Wild' trailer)

Holy crap, you just made my day with this rip!!!

Hi,

Thanks for Bad Company! It's got great music.
I was wondering, why is it that 80% of your mp3s are 24khz? Either the ones on Xbox are that poor, or the PS3 version is a lot better. I know for a fact that all the music in the PS3 version sounds great on my standard TV.

I know for a fact, Bad Company 2 is at 48khz. I'm sure this game is also.

Thanks so much, Do you think we could have this in lossless please?;)

Because its an awesome score? And I'm an audiophile.

Thanks so much, Do you think we could have this in lossless please?;)
I second this.

deleted

Surley, just compress the wave files that you got from towav when you converted the xma.

deleted

Sorry mate.;)

Ah yes!!! Thanks alpha for BFBC!!!

X-Men: Legends (will take a look first, then decide)

Thank you so much :D. The combat soundtrack's the best in the game. I hope you'll be able to come up with something :D

Nice!!! Thanks for Bad Company alpha =) radio surf rocks
how about mp3 (not mp3Pro) with 320kbps bitrate?

deleted

How about OGG VBRmax? ;)

OGG VBR 500 is good, but not all mp3 players support this format)

People always complaining about format.
Just say thanks to the man for the hard work.
Thanks a lot mate. I really appreciate this rip, the time spent on it (along with the others rips).
And the great music I'm about to listen.:)

A little post to say how much I love Bad Compagny soundtrack.
Listening to the country radio while slavering at work. Just great.
Almost feeling like singing "Working on a Railroad".
Muchas arigato dude :)
And btw, if people want mp3 instead of mp3 pro, use a converter like DB poweramp or any software like Adobe Audition and convert in mp3 yourself.

Alpha, Thank you very much for KOTT 2, you have done an excellent job, I really appreciate your hard work.

Oh, and (JBTND), Thanks for the link you sent me , I am grateful.

Thanks again guys..... (^_^)

Did you take a look at X-Men Legends?

deleted

Alpha, all is well, perfectly done, your effort is most appreciated, thanks again.

Have you noticed any "bumpy" loop transitions.
I have noticed none. I haven't heard the whole soundtrack yet.
I'll let you know if I find something worth mentioning on your rip.
But until now, there's nothing to say.
And the transcoding hint wasn't for you (I know you have your own ways), it was for the guys who like to have it easy.
I'm a jerk with computers and still I can convert songs. So everybody can.:)

deleted

Didn't figure it out back then but I gained more experience with quickBMS (see http://aluigi.altervista.org/papers.htm#quickbms) so maybe I'm able to do this rip after all. Gladfully the files aren't segmented but finding out the interleave is pretty tedious too. I'll post status reports as always, so you don't need to ask

Thanks :). The combat tracks are the best and I can't wait for your rip :D

deleted

HMM this ZSS format i have encountered also in the ps2 version of marvel ultimate alliance 2. Mind sending me the script alpha?

deleted

Wrote myself a little BMS script that splits the layers. After adding a stop marker at the end, those interleaved VAG files can finally be decoded with MFAudio


set INTERLEAVE 0x1000
set JUMP INTERLEAVE
math JUMP *= 2
get FILESIZE asize

append
set OFFSET1 0x800
for i = 1
set WTEST OFFSET1
math WTEST += INTERLEAVE
if WTEST <= FILESIZE
log MEMORY_FILE OFFSET1 INTERLEAVE
math OFFSET1 += JUMP
else
if OFFSET1 < FILESIZE
set WSIZE FILESIZE
math WSIZE -= OFFSET1
log MEMORY_FILE OFFSET1 WSIZE
endif
break
endif
next i
append

set OFFSET2 0x800
math OFFSET2 += INTERLEAVE
for i = 1
set WTEST OFFSET2
math WTEST += INTERLEAVE
if WTEST <= FILESIZE
append
log MEMORY_FILE2 OFFSET2 INTERLEAVE
append
math OFFSET2 += JUMP
else
if OFFSET2 < FILESIZE
set WSIZE FILESIZE
math WSIZE -= OFFSET2
append
log MEMORY_FILE2 OFFSET2 WSIZE
append
endif
break
endif
next i

get NAME1 basename
string NAME1 += "-layer1.vag"
get SIZE1 asize MEMORY_FILE
log NAME1 0 SIZE1 MEMORY_FILE

get NAME2 basename
string NAME2 += "-layer2.vag"
get SIZE2 asize MEMORY_FILE2
log NAME2 0 SIZE2 MEMORY_FILE2

This script extracts 2 VAGs out of each Gamecube ZSS too. But as they aren`t recognized in ADPCM players and vgmstream I guess I have to add 00077777777777777777777777777777 into their ends too...

set INTERLEAVE 0x1000
set JUMP INTERLEAVE
math JUMP *= 2
get FILESIZE asize

append
set OFFSET1 0x800
for i = 1
set WTEST OFFSET1
math WTEST += INTERLEAVE
if WTEST <= FILESIZE
log MEMORY_FILE OFFSET1 INTERLEAVE
math OFFSET1 += JUMP
else
if OFFSET1 < FILESIZE
set WSIZE FILESIZE
math WSIZE -= OFFSET1
log MEMORY_FILE OFFSET1 WSIZE
endif
break
endif
next i
append

set OFFSET2 0x800
math OFFSET2 += INTERLEAVE
for i = 1
set WTEST OFFSET2
math WTEST += INTERLEAVE
if WTEST <= FILESIZE
append
log MEMORY_FILE2 OFFSET2 INTERLEAVE
append
math OFFSET2 += JUMP
else
if OFFSET2 < FILESIZE
set WSIZE FILESIZE
math WSIZE -= OFFSET2
append
log MEMORY_FILE2 OFFSET2 WSIZE
append
endif
break
endif
next i

get NAME1 basename
string NAME1 += "-layer1.vag"
get SIZE1 asize MEMORY_FILE
log NAME1 0 SIZE1 MEMORY_FILE

get NAME2 basename
string NAME2 += "-layer2.vag"
get SIZE2 asize MEMORY_FILE2
log NAME2 0 SIZE2 MEMORY_FILE2
Mind that you'll maybe need to adjust the interleave for MUA2. The script has some problems with the last block but the music is playable. Of course it's not stae-of-the-art coding and it's extremely slow but it works... Remember to put a 0x00077777777777777777777777777777 at the end of the files for MFAudio.


Thx timo it worked.

I'll take a look :)

Edit: I love this ambient track you ripped. I'm not sure how I can isolate the music from the ambient noise but for me, I probably wouldn't mind because the music will probably drown out the ambient noises out.

deleted

Wow, nice job :D. I heard a teeny tiny bit of it, but nice going, regardless. Now I can tell that this rip is going to be good :). If there are songs that you can't clean, thats alright. As long as I can I hear it. Same thing for the combat music too (Which, I absolutely can't wait for because the combat music is the best. My personal favorites is the Sewers combat music, the boss music when you face Marrow, and the one on the ship, the Arbiter, I think).

Edit: Sorry if I mentioned that about the combat tracks like 3 times lol.

deleted

I'll try and give the proper order. I would say, New York tracks first since thats where you first start out. Then the Mansion tracks. Then the HAARP facility tracks. Then the Sewer tracks. I can go on but I might need the samples. That way I can be sure :). Also, did you also find the track where you face Marrow in the sewers? Sorry for bothering you with the questions.

deleted

Amazing! Crystal clear and no ambient noises. Great progess, so far. :D

Alright I've recently downloaded and listened to NFS5 Compilation rip. Man, it's great! Quality is just great! Oh my god, these tracks from PC make me happy!! I asked you to include PSOne track because I didn't hear them in my game (you know those damn 5 in 1 compilations =) ) but I had heard from many sources that the soundtrack is different from the PC version. And you know what? It's nothing but a big disappointment. The only thing I want to do when tracks by Thomas Colin & Manuel Lauvernier start playing is to skip'em all. Sad, but true. Piece of crap which just don't suite the game setting at all!!! And what is more sadder is that PSOne tracks quality is MUCH more better than the brilliant ost from pc version! F***ing EA!! So I give 6\10 for the music (thanks to the crap from Thomas Colin & Manuel Lauvernier, but delete it and you'll get 9\10 xD) and 10\10 for the rip quality. Really great one! The best I've seen so far. Great work indeed, Alpha! And thanks again! ;-)

deleted

Hehe, good thing I put those PSX tracks at the very end... ;) I agree with you, they absolutely don't fit (...)

Funny, but I noticed that you have double! (or it's just a coincidense?) =) track39 = track06 and so in this case we know who is the composer of track39 ;) track37 sounds like it was composed by Crispin Hands and I'm pretty sure track41 is by Saki Kaskas. But anyways it's only my guess)) As for my review - you're welcome! ;-)

Erm, I uploaded those tracks for you so that you could check where they play.

Sorry my bad. I didn't realize it. I did forget where some of them played though lol.


Apart from the playing order, the rip is finished! Thanks :D

deleted

Hooray! Finally, the soundtrack has been ripped! You have my thanks. :parrot:

Edit: Oh, and what's the password, heh heh.

Edit 2: Never mind. Looked at the first post :P

great rip, as always.
Thank you pal.

Yes, mp3pro does marvellous job, compressing an hour of music up to 88MB. And thanks for ripping!

Thanks a lot for the X-Men Legends rip. I've been looking forward to one for a while

deleted

Wow, that's a lot of work. But it's definitely appreciated.

That would be awesome. I realize that the bulk of the music is by Williams, but I cant remember if any of Jeremy Soule's music was used ingame and not just in the cinematics? BTW, i think the end credits movie has a great suite of Soule music also.

A more definitive edition of Soules music rip would great, as the 20 min rip thats floating around is a little sparse...

deleted

Alot of it is unreleased Attack of the Clones material, which is even more odd considering that some of this material doesn't even appear in the film, something that hasn't occured since (all subseuqent games use the film mix of Episode II's music) - it even appears in the promo OST too. As for Soule's music, there is definitely quite a bit. But I can't recall which music that is.

deleted

Do you think you'd be able to rip Darksiders? Has 2 composers from the God of War series.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darksiders

Has some epic orchestral music. Game was awesome also.
Not sure about ripping from the PS3. 360 version might be good.

Darksiders uses fsb so will be that straighforward rip that you were asking for.;)

Is this format lossy? If not, do you think you'd be able to up a FLAC verison? This game never got a cd release.

deleted

I might be able to identify some tracks as I played the game recently.

Custom Soundtracks sounds good. Maybe add unofficial at the end so its not to misleading.

Awesome! Great work! Thanks for this. :)

Its amazing how much they left out of the OST.

Just a side note, 158 - Music_Combat_Heavy_06 ~ mix.mp3 is "Chaos Eater" just with a intro and a different ending.
178 - Music_Action_09_Main.mp3 is "Keeping Pace"

Thanks you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-D

deleted

Yeah, the Darksiders re-release will be in OGG, too.

Thanks you, but.. I don't listen SW Bounty Hunter by decompress's errors.. I use Winrar, likely is it the cause. T_T

deleted

Try 7zip instead, that's what I packed the files with. I know it's not Mac or Linux compatible but the LZMA algorithm is currently the best.

7zip works just fine on linux :), no worries.

Well, The problem was not Winrar, but the password... A little confusion with passwords! ^_^ Sorry and thanks for your attention!!

super thanks, liked dark sector and dark siders.

Thank you so much for X-Men Legends!
I've been looking for it so long...
Special mention for the Astral Plane theme that is simply wonderful!
I owe you one!

Question: I'll have a request when the gates will be open, but I don't know if the music of this game was composed by a western or eastern composer (I'm French and don't even know the difference)... how do I know this information / where can I find it? In case you know him and directly have the answer, the game is Spider-Man (2000, released on PSX, PC, N64 and DC) and I believe to remember the name of the composer was Tommy Tallarico, do you know him?

please can you try to do a complete score rip for MEN OF VALOR? The music is by Inon Zur, some in ogg 48, some in .sab format. You will notice one sab archive, as well as additional individual tracks in sab, possibly interleaved, as some play in intermittent chunks over other background sound. Maybe you can decode these? There is also track info in corresponding .sob text files. So this is a job worthy of IRD.

Thanks for Tag Team Racing. The style isn't children's music. It's acapella so the score may sound childish. Anyway, is there any chance of this in lossless?

I know Terminator Salvation's already been done but I think there's a lot of music absent in OrangeC's rip (Cutscene music, PC Attract Theme, checkpoint theme etc), so that's my request.

Is Battlefield Bad Company 2 doable? I heard music that were not on the soundtrack. I'm not sure if it was requested earlier...

.

Since bad company 2 is not one of my favorite scores of this year i am feeling really generous enough to share it. since alpha23 has uploaded the first one i might as well plug it here. if alpha minds it then i will make a separate thread.

Battlefield - Bad Company 2
Composer: Mikael Karlsson

Nice score, much better then the ost, well if you know mikael karlsson then you know his bad company scores :D

some segments combined> 48hz great quality.

Oh thanks a bunch. :)

Do you think you can up the flac version? That would be great.

Cant upload lossles version now due to very limited upload speed.

Awesome! Thanks OrangeC

Alright I understand.

I was wondering where the online loading themes where. I didn't hear any of them only there full versions. The loading themes where variations of the full ones.

Too bad Condemned 2 causes problems, was waiting for it. So theres probably no way to rip the music from the game?

I know Terminator Salvation's already been done but I think there's a lot of music absent in OrangeC's rip (Cutscene music, PC Attract Theme, checkpoint theme etc), so that's my request.

isn't all the music in PC version in the game folder in lossless .WAV? or just part of the soundtrack?

The PC version isn't rippable, uses EA layer 3.

Thanks OrangeC, this is much better than the official OST.




-> Request 3: Battlefield: Bad Company - Mikael Karlsson - platforms: PC, Xbox 360
ACCEPTED

As I said I don't care if a game has already been ripped or not as I want to make sure no tracks are missed. And in case of OrangeC's BF:BC2 rip - that's only the Xbox 360 version, so there's plenty of room for better quality or additional tracks in the PC version.


Would it be possible, if it's not much to ask, for you to rip the loading themes of multiplayer with FX?

I'm talking about this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa23Hib2-BY) and many other tracks with the radio chatter on top of them.

Hey Timo, how's it going? Just stopping by to see how the ripping is goin. Also grabbing your rip of Knights of Templar 2, thanks a bunch!

Also, are you interested in trying the dig again some day?

Thanks for the lossless version mate!

Hmmm what could of caused perfection to go down the drain all of a sudden?:iveseenthings:

deleted

Good enough for me.

I've changed my overall ripping style thus only saving the unedited original files to speed up the procedure by several hundred percent

Surely it will but will this actually be ripping? Some games don`t even have their files packed (for example a folder titled "music" with RWS inside) so all your job here is to download the game, then copy and upload original files. Surely that sounds like a great favor for people like me who download games (I have ripped only 1 Xbox-360 game because ISOs 7 GBs each seem too time-consuming for me while I`m able to download one such image a month at speed up to 1MB/s) but your wish to speed things up can also lead to the following (this possible flaw applies even more to your streamed thread as I don`t know if you check out whether every source file pack is convertible with specific tools you recommend or not):

You know that HCS team which uploads

only the unedited original files
and such ripping style sometimes results in ridiculous cases when some sets uploaded months ago cannot be converted even with the latest vgmstream version! I came across a few of these myself.

Also while

original format OR TAK compressed (http://www.thbeck.de/Tak/Tak.html) wave files (whichever is smaller in size)
(all others who complained about OGG in your collaborative thread will be able to convert from lossless to any lossy format they prefer without a necessity to convert from lossy OGG –q10 to another lossy format)


no looping
(need in different number of loops of one track for different persons was expressed in DoDoRay9000`s thread too)


no segment combining
(ingame interactive cues can play in any order without loss of feel of coherent music so that you need to give people an opportunity to combine the 1st segment with 2 loops of the 5th and to end this "track" with the 7th. Your rip with segments combined according to your taste can simply lack the mentioned "track"! Or some people would even save these short cues as individual tracks and simply change playing order in their players so that they resurrect truly interactive music as it is in the game)

are OK for me I think that many casual visitors would find this too labor-intensive for them. Many folks complained about your OGG standard back in VGM legacy thread but I don`t remember many complaining about quality which includes looping, fadings, numbering and so on. Some people can say: "I asked you because I know that your rip will have looping, fadings, numbering and
quality what VGM legacy stands for
but you force me to do nearly all the work myself!"
It remains the fact that while Killy was arguing with Kataah whether converting MP3 to OGG is bad or not and editing files is needed his unedited Clive Barker`s Jericho rip was downloaded lesser times than Kataah`s edited one.

Second, I don't get what you're trying to say, lol!! ;) Sorry...
But you understood what I said about VGM Legacy and non-working programs so don`t underestimate your abilities. While I`m a little disappointed by that a tirade which took almost an hour to compose wasn`t understood

Wow! Alpha, you outdid yourself. Well done! I will have to top up my data before I dl the pc streams. In the meantime, would you be kind enough to pm me the deinterleave script if it's .bms, and also if you wrote a script for the large .sab archive to name the files?

deleted

deleted

That makes plenty sense for those like myself who want to attempt their own rip, based on your research. That would be fantastic, Alpha.

As for looping, I like to use an editor to create a reverb at the end of the cutoff point of a loop track by first smoothing the end, then adding 5 to 10 seconds of silence, then making the reverb. This creates a smoother close than having to deal with a fake dial-down fade. Of course it must work together with the structure of the loop and if there is enough musical body in the track.

deleted

I`d like to ask the last question: there`re some (I`ve seen just three of them in my life but there may be more) games without interactive music but with tracks artificially divided into parts. For example in Halo - Combat evolved every track consists of 15-sec snippets (but they all play in specific and invariable order, that`s why I don`t call it interactive music). HL2E2 developers have gone further, these snippets are as tiny as 1- or 2-sec!

So if you make a streamed rip of such game will you leave everything as it is (HCS team made its own version of Halo music rip (http://www.hcs64.com/manakoAT/vgm_db/roms.php?system=13&set=1120) and it actually resulted in 674 files) even if there`re thousands of MP3s like in HL2E2?

alpha,

regarding your textfile of the tracknames for MEN OF VALOR music.sab, did you just rename the .sob textfile or did you make the list of tracks more readable, iow without all the code gibberish inbetween? I managed to use TOWAV on the archive to extract all the files, but I want to try to match up the tracks with the wavs. It is possible that they fall in the same order as the packed data. The ones that are only 5Kb in size represent the oggs, maybe.

Thanks for Terminator Salvation! I didn't realise the T-1000 stinger solo was part of the game soundtrack itself.

Hey Alpha,Thanks for Terminator Salvation and Battlefield Bad Company 2

deleted

hmmm hey how you doing alpha? as i write im downloading terminator, hope it is badass! i dont really have anything in mind to request, but i was trying to download your darksiders rip but the link was deleted. could you upload it again? thank you!

I won't lose this time!

Say, could you do a full rip of Namco Museum Battle Collection?

The Menu Themes, everything!

That would be awesome!

PLEEEEEAAAASSSSEEEE?!

I thank you sir for your hard work on ripping Bad Company 2.

deleted

Is the gate still open?

If so, may I request for you to rip Syphon Filter: The Omega Strain?

Darn...

Now I have a better request, but Ol' Chap Gerbur most likely got the spot...

deleted

Hoho!!

Thanks, Alpha23!



The game I'm looking at is Gran Turismo for the SONY PlayStation.

The game has both Western and Eastern composers after I took a quick look. Since Alpha23 said 'Western Composers only,' I'm only interested in the Western tunes.

Is this ok?

X-Men Legends 2?

Wow, that's a damn short request! I'll see what I can do... Next time please write at least a whole sentence - it just sounds nicer. ;)
At least get me download links for all platforms!

Oh, sorry. No disrespect intended. I just was just trying to be meek with the request since I know it's a lot of work, and a lot of people don't seem to appreciate that fact.

And download links? You mean for ISOs? I'll see what I can do.

Roger that, commander!

As a matter of fact...

Behold...

hmmm okay alpha i have a request now, i think the gates still open, so i was wondering if you can rip prototype? pie's rip is a bit off the actual soundtrack, ingame. the soundtrack is very good and was hoping someone of your calibur can make a better rip.

I has teh question, too!

HOW DOES A CHAP PLAY THOSE BLOOMIN' .XA FILES...or even better...CONVERT 'EM?!!

A chap really wants to hear the fruit of the work from Ol' AlphaTwoThree...but can't figure out those .xa files...

GRRRRRRRRR...

deleted

deleted

Sure, why not... ;) Currently downloading. =)

thx alpha really appreciate it.

I already linked to the vgmstream sourcefourge page (the link behind the format). Use that and Winamp's DiscWriter plugin to convert the files.
I'll always link to the appropriate conversion program with the format in the release post.

OHHHHH...

I didn't know that's what that vgmstream whatchmacallit was for...

Well, after diving deep into the channels of the Search Engine 'Bing,' I finally struck gold...well, platinum and titanium in this case!

XA files can be converted with Foobar2000!!!

Hey Alpha.

I might start to sound annoying now but if the gate is still open, can you make a streamed rip of Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow for the PS2 (http://www.amazon.com/Syphon-Filter-Logans-Shadow-Playstation-2/dp/B003L5AR5E)?

If you rip this, then you won't need to rip the PSP version as they are exactly the same game.
