No apologies necessary! Thanks for all your hard work!

You are a credit to society. I'm gonna have another drink and dwell on that fact.

I'm sorry to bother you guys, but it seems the Halo Reach - Complete Soundtrack is corrupt. Just downloaded it and am getting error messages when I try to use WinRAR

Neat. Thanks

Hola dolla, thread updatan.

For those of you with limited storage space/bandwith restrictions or just plain don't care about FLAC, I added an edited version of the ODST game rip which was provided to us by Infiltrator.

It's mp3, as usual, has additional info, tags, reworked filenames (not the track names) and all music has had a volume boost, no track will sound louder or quieter.

Be sure to grab it.

About halo 4, there is a tool called composer that can extract all music/sounds. Maybe that could help with a halo 4 rip.

So your saying that the key to our salvation lies with the "Composer"?

:p. Hey OrangeC, thought you retired from the music ripping game?

EDIT: You need to fix the tags on Spartan Assault, All tracks say that they were composed by Martin O'Donnell & Michael Salvatori.

composer.
https://mega.co.nz/#!tMsGxaoQ!WU1Zvl_irJUg1h58Ux4qCR1tA79yngHdCHlVHgK xlLc

Already compiled, just run and load the two soundbank.pck and soundstream.pck.

Hey Einstein, this is nothing new here, since I posted it first some months ago and infilltrator already mentioned it, too (no offence!).
The original link at github is: https://github.com/amd7/composer
It's a C# project.
H4 contains about 20.320 music files..it's interesting to hear the voices isolated without the background music..

Watch your tone jerk! OrangeC has probably done allot more game rips in his time here then you have, he was just giving advice on how to help the Halo 4 project along, you don't have to come in here like King Dick of Jerk Island and belittle him.

"no offense" my ass you just added that so you can skate away with that little snip of yours.

Don't worry about it. I don't feed the trolls.

Hey Darth, any chance of a re-up? Had a HDD failure and trying to build the collection back up. Thanks in advance!

I truly can't thank you enough for these uploads Joshua Fireseed! The music definitely brings back A LOT of memories and the Xbox will always have a place in my heart mainly due to these games. In appreciation for this post here are custom covers I made for the Complete Soundtracks of Halo 1-3. Thanks again!

Hey can I ask what the differences between the complete soundtrack and the official soundtracks are?

Also, is their complete soundtracks of Halo Anniversary, 4, Wars, & Assault?

Any word yet on Halo: Forward Unto Dawn?

^Their is a soundtrack on iTunes, I just don't think anybody ripped it yet.

I think the iTunes soundtrack is pretty complete. Though the FUD soundtrack is more ambient music than an actual score IMHO.

Halo 4 is complete if you combine Vol. 1, Vol. 2, and the exclusive tracks from Halo Waypoint. Darth2602 compiled a tracklist for an in-order album:

01 Atonement
02 To Galaxy (Part 1)

I don't know where he got track 27 "Another Ring" from. I don't have it.

The H4 game rip by Infiltrator has EVERYTHING including he cutscene music but those have the SFX embedded in them. I prefer Darth's edit. I can up it if you want.

You forgot these unofficial songs, which were available here earlier:

Awakening (Orchestra)
Awakening (Solo Piano)
(Armour)
(Foreshadow)
To Galaxy (Extended) - is one of the 3 versions yoda.. mentionend
To Galaxy (Orchestra) - really nice! without any synthetic sounds like in the official one.
To Galaxy (Short)
To Galaxy (Solo Piano)
Revival (Orchestra)
Revival (Choir)

Info:
Maybe they were leaked directly from Neil Davidge, because id3 tag says they we're created with Pro Tools. Davidge used Pro Tools as he said earlier and as can be seen in the making of. The only source which I could find months ago (I wanted to know the origin of these songs) was a youtube account, which was banned because of having these songs: YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0AGyew08oQ)


The song "Desecation" was a gift due to moving the release of H4 ost:

Original-Meldung:
"Dear Mr. ____,

We unfortunately have to move the release date for the Halo 4 Original
soundtrack limited edition box set back to Nov 6th due to an exclusive
content reveal. On October 22nd will send you a very exclusive track
from the game called �Desecration� which is not on the original soundtrack
and you will also receive a full digital copy of the album.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your support - The Omega/The Halo 4 team.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact us."

I did not know there was a halo 4 rip by infiltrator since i did not see it in the thread. Yes can you up that one?

Played this game, and was searching the sound track
Thanks!

His thread still has the links up (Thread 134343).

Amazing thread. You thinking of doing a complete score of Halo 4?

Check my post #286. That's pretty much complete unless you get infiltrator's rip.

I feel like there is missing an action track with a background piano and has an emotional string melody. It plays during the first part of the game.

Hi, I think maybe uminoken can reupload these. I already contacted him.

Yes and no, I found the H4 lossless(!) remix stems here: Halo 4 Remix Contest - Stem Archive (http://halo.bungie.org/misc/halo4remixstems.html)
But for example the orchestra version of the To Galaxy stem is shorter than the one I mentioned above in my posting.

Like I said, maybe uminoken uploads these again soon :).

Here's my version of "Desecration" which is longer than the one in DARTH's complete album (game order version)..It's 4:18 and his is 2:31 min.

Heads up, a member at HBO got the soundtrack to the halo motion comics ripped.

did he doing flac rip of soundcloud?? or having other source?

also, any having album art?

thank many!

I'm guessing your from another country and are using Google Translate to speak. so I'll be clear so you can translate it easy.

Yes, he did create both .FLAC and HQ .MP3 versions, they are up on the site I linked.

No, there is no album art I believe. If you wait, I'm sure Joshua will create a custom album art for us. :)

You mean awakening? because thats the only action track with a piano in it:

Well, the art is no problem since it's done in the OP, but I am going to need some help renaming these tracks.

I won't rewatch the mona lisa, no way in hell, not after those scenes where the flood throw the poor pilot into the protogravemind.

He wanted to know if the flac versions is made of the soundcloud-version. It seems so:

But now to the main point, I've taken the time to prepare all tracks on his SoundCloud for download & offline use in FLAC (Uncompressed) & MP3 (MP3-320).

But both wouldn't make any sense, because soundcloud is only offering 128 kbps(!) mp3s throught their web player.
And I can't register on this forum, so I could ask him, how he did the conversion (or why..).

I know it's probably hopeless lol, but would anyone happen to have some extra stuff from Halo Legends? Especially that main theme/Unyielding remix from "The Package", played when John, Kelly & Fred run & fight all accross the Covenant ship. That has to be the only remaining Halo track I dream of owning.

Thank you

for me it says that both volumes in Halo 2 Original Soundtrack - Volume I and Volume II aren't valid files.

for me it says that every file except all of the halo CE stuff is corrupt or they aren't valid files.

That worked, thanks!

Thanks for the music. I did notice, though, Halo 4 Volume II artwork says "disc 4" while Halo 4 Volume 1 says "disc 1". Just a heads up.

Thanks.

Halo 3 downloads say the archives are corrupted. Got the same error for Halo 2 archives (although they worked fine the other night).
Might just be me, but since it's a continual error found across different platforms and programs, figured I should let you know.

I'm making some adjustments to the entire thread as well as reuploading everything again because why not?

As such, you should keep an eye out on the Halo 3 link, it's no longer a direct link to the 7zip archives but rather the folder where I have everything stored for Halo 3.

All links have been replaced with mediafire folders instead, that way I don't have to update the entire thread with new links but instead now you can just check the folders yourself and download accordingly.

Also updated the album artwork for most stuff.

Cool, I will keep an eye out: thanks for the work you do, it's an amazing thing helping people relive nostalgic moments with these pieces of music.

Are you still reuploading everything because there is no files in the Halo 2 & 3 folders.

UPDATE: Housekeeping complete, and added a new album to the OP.

WHAAAAAAAT............????????? Their loss!

perhaps this meaning 343 will having him for halo 5 :)

I don't think I can tell you how happy I am to have located this. Having the In-Game Music for Halo 2 in such condition is an absolute joy! Thanks to all involved in acquiring & sharing it!

Also, in case this hasn't cropped up before, I believe a tool called "Adjutant" is capable of sound extraction from Halo 3 & Halo: Reach, as it was used for these voice file extractions of GySgt Buck & Sgt. Maj. Johnson:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcQ7pMYwDBc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgSomvWXfzA

You can find the tool here: Halo Maps Forum (http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=41388)

Hopefully, that'll come in handy for anyone attempting to extract the In-Game Music files for Halo: Reach (which I'd love to do myself to get the entirety of the sound files, but I cannot find a means to acquire the .map files without a modified Xbox 360).

As for the Halo: Evolutions Soundtrack I acquired (And you've got up there spreadin' to the world!), it was rendered in FLAC Uncompressed & MP3-320 because I used FRAPS & windowed-TF2 to record the SoundCloud files (I don't have the know-how to physically extract SoundCloud files that don't allow download), and 320kps & 48,000hz was the quality of the raw recordings, so naturally, I felt no need to downscale and gave the opportunity to do so to anyone with the files in their hands. A question answered months too late perhaps, but answered nonetheless!

In the slightest chance anyone's keen on FLAC (Uncompressed, Rendered at 320kps & 48,000hz), you can find the Halo Evolutions [FLAC] here (as seen in a previous post): Halo: Evolutions Original Soundtrack (http://carnage.bungie.org/haloforum/halo.forum.pl?read=1189954#m_1189954)
The included wallpapers are official for The Return & Headhunters whilst the Mona Lisa I believe were YouTube snapshots I took as any media for that motion-comic is rather scarce (the soundtrack for all 7 parts cannot be found anywhere by myself), however I see you're in no need of those.

Thanks again!

I'll try looking into this stuff, but will probably need sounds.map for the rest of the music.

EDIT:

IT WORKS, sort of, I keep getting errors about unsupported sound type, was only able to extract some contents from mainmenu.map.


I've just found what I think is the newst version of Adjutant: Halo Maps Forum (http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=45590)

I assume you've done this already, but just in case, you will need ToWav.exe for the sound extraction, which can be found here: Halo Maps Forum (http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=42920)

I wish I had actual advice on the tool, but I haven't even so much as tried the thing yet. Although with the links to the .map files you just sent, I might now get a chance.

Otherwise, I'm mostly spending time trying to use out-of-map tricks to manually record Halo: Reach & Halo 4's Sound Assets. I'm also preparing what Halo: Spartan Assault Soundtrack I can into in-game loops, as the actual in-game music .OGG files were understandly compressed & of a less "purchaseable" quality. I'll let you know if I turn anything up in the music department.

Actually that's not the problem.

I managed to extract the music from mainmenu.map but I couldn't extract the music from the intro/tutorial map (you know which one).

To extract the music, simply go load the map, go to the sounds tab and then look for the music tag which should look like this.


xxxx/sounds/music/loop/

ty for halo wars

I've been exploring the files with Adjutant. I'm having a lot of fun listening to the unused dialogue from ONI Sword Base. But I have also encountered some specific files that don't extract.

At first, most of them were because I didn't have the shared.map folder. I assume you've got this already for the games' .map collection you have downloaded. I pretty much downloaded everything including Campaign.map just to be sure everything was together.

I've even gone into Options > Settings and set the sound files to batch extract as .WAV, but it is now I release that doesn't bear much relevance to the fault at hand.


I've been encountering this error with such files as "sound/music/reach_menu/track/in" or "sound/weapons/sniper_rifle/sniper_fire_reach", that don't playback in Adjutant or extract:

Error extracting sound\music\reach_menu\track1\in.snd!:
--Number was less than the array's lower bound in the first dimension.
Parameter name: dstIndex

I'm not sure of the cause of this error. Perhaps it's because I don't have the sound.map file. If you have the sound.map file, but encountered this particular error, then all I can pin the cause upon is an error on the tool's part or the file itself has some hidden programing behind it preventing the extraction. Hard to say. A man as completely lacking in familiarity & expertise with programming such as myself can come up with almost any guess.

EDIT: I have investigated the Halo Maps Forums, and the only assumption I can come to with the information I can gather is it's a tag issue with the tool, and further sound extraction support continues to be worked on. Don't take my word for it, for it's just all I can make out from the many pages of modelling discussion, error reporting & frequent arguing.


However, if you're encountering this error:


Error extracting sound\music\reach_menu\track1\loop.snd!:
--Raw data not found.

This is because the actual file is located elsewhere. I discover this in the Halo Reach Beta Files, where I would look at a file called "sound\music\alpha_main_menu\track1\loop" in 70_Boneyard.map, but the file never played back in preview nor extracted. However, when I found it in mainmenu.map, the file played back & extracted flawlessly.

I'm still finding my feet mostly with the tool, but in truth, I'm only encountering a few exceptions that don't work. Most files I've found with Halo 3: ODST & Halo: Reach (still have yet to tread through Halo 3 & Halo 2, then get to grips with Halo 4's differing system) have worked just fine in a particular .map file or more.

:D Thanks! You're amazing! Keep up the good work!

So, basically every download here is a rip from the games, or are they the actual released soundtracks? I'm having a bit of trouble figuring out which is which.

Also, lossless, but they're small sizes per disc?

For your first question, they are both, rips and the official stuff.

And I don't know where you got the lossless bit, these are mp3 releases.

Yea, don't mind me, many brain farts the other night.

Out of curiosity, what's the kbps rate on them? I don't seem them listed against all the tracks.

Most are 320kb/s.

The only ones under 320 are the halo 2 rip, halo 3 rip and 2 tracks from halo wars which came from an old rip by oj simmdicks.

The link appears no longer active as of a couple of weeks or so ago. I cannot access their FTP either. Although I've managed to grab all of Halo 3, Halo 3: ODST, Halo: Reach (Beta, Stock & Noble) and Halo 4 (Campaign), I've still got a number of .map files to acquire, including Halo: Reach ( and Halo 4 (Multiplayer, Spartan Ops). Do you happen to have any information on whether they're switching domain again or have simply gone down for an unknown reason? If not, than know of any other exisiting repository for Halo's .map files?

Otherwise, I can report Halo: Reach is very rip worthy with Adjutant, with very few sound files unable to be extracted. However, Adjutant doesn't seem to be updated to extract Halo 4's music files.

Also, I must ask, do you or the "rippers" happen to have the original music files for Halo 1 & 2 before they were "OSTed", even now? I'm currently trying to build an archive for vid-makers to get their hands on Halo's audio resources, and the original rip material would be a most useful resource.

They probably are changing domain again, same thing happened last time.

As for your other question, I'm not sure, I know alpha23 had an archive of CE and Halo 2 on rapidshare but it's gone now that they changed some stuff around.

You'll have to ask them when and IF they are still active on this website.

However, Adjutant doesn't seem to be updated to extract Halo 4's music files.

The link he's given you is my own indeed. They're just a majoritive selection of tracks from the Soundtrack Album I was able to loop akin to their in-game equivelants (The YouTube Playlist can demonstrate the results). Unfortunately, whilst getting the music files from Halo: Spartan Assault is no difficult task in the slightest (Just a matter of knowing which folder the .OGG files are kept in), they are obviously downscaled to help maintain the game's small memory size, and whilst quality remains very adequate, the difference between it & the Original Soundtrack Album is noticeable, making combining them a very difficult task!

If that doesn't phase you however, I can send Halo: Spartan Assault's .OGG files your way.

Thanks for the tool! Hopefully, that'll come in handy when the .Map File Repository goes back up (I'm VERY eager to get the entirety of Spartan Ops).

And you were able to rip from the Halo Waypoint App itself? I never thought that possible! But I would like to ask you if you could infact reupload the original .WAV file. I've got the means to host it, and I have a friend who would be especially delighted to have this particular track.

Sorry for the late answer, I was very busy (and I still am) and didn't look at the thread.
Yes, I extracted it from the Waypoint App myself :p
I'll attach the WAV at the end of my how-to and also the tools I used (some were hard to get!).
But I don't know (and I don't think), if Microsoft included a wav of the song in the app (maybe it was just a 128kbps wma?). The WAV just came out of the extraction process, but that's better than nothing and there's no loss in quality. So if you aren't even working for i343, you won't get better quality so far ;-)

Here is how I did:
The app itself is in the GOD (Games on Demand) format, like any downloadable game from the xbox store!
1. Backed up the Waypoint app from Xbox (usb stick)
2. USBXTAF: Copied it over to my pc with its 44KB 'GOD container identification file' from the usb stick.
3. Made an iso of the GOD container with GOD2ISO:
3.1Open GOD2ISO and click add next to God packages, browse inside your GoD folder you'll see the identification file, a file like this D664F5CB98F39197BB933A8C2F510839 and usually 44KB or < 60KB (Don't select the Data0001 files).
3.2 Select "Fix "CreateISOGood" broken header." This step is crucial. If you fail to select this option, you will get the error "Unable to obtain game info," "Not a valid Xbox 360 image," or "Header does not match Xbox 360 Images" errors when ever you load your newly built ISO into an extraction program.
3.3. Select the output for your newly created ISO to be saved, press "Go" and be patient. You can tell when the program is finished when the "Go" button and other buttons are lit up again and both green status bars are all the way to the right. This program doesn't notify you upon completion for some rather odd reason.

4. Now I unzipped the iso again! Then you'll have all waypoint app files in more or less "readable" format:
4.1 Open up the tool 360mpGUI (needs "360mpTools") and make sure you're in the "Extract ISO" tab on the top left. Once you're in the "Extract ISO" tab, press "Select ISO."
The two options highlighted below are optional. I'd always recommend selecting "Skip "$SytemUpdate" folder?" 4.2 The second option "Create Game-Folder," will create a game folder using the name provided from the .xex. Enabling or disabling this option is up to you. You can edit the game folder's name with the box below labeled "Edit Game-Folder".
4.3 Select your output folder by selecting "Select Folder..."
4.4 Press "Extract ISO." Then give the program a few minutes. You will then be notified upon completion.

5. Now you can open the folder and search for the soundfiles (XWB soundbanks and the XSB which contain the filenames), for this app they were located in: \Halo Waypoint App extracted\static\sounds
(Of course you can use all the other files as well, like videos, pictures etc. from the app)

Here you go:
The tool xactxtract extracts .xwb files to valid .xwma files. You need xWMAEncode (part of Microsofts DirectX SDK) in order to convert xWMAs (there's almost no player for .xwma) to "normal" .wav files. Just copy the xactxtract.exe and the downloaded xWMAEncode.exe into the directory with the .xwb files and type (command line):
xactxtract.exe -x2 *.xwb
This tells xactxtract to extract and convert all .xwb files in the directory. To be more precisely, xactxtract will:
5.1. create a directory for each .xwb file (e.g. for "MUS 420.xwb" a directory "MUS 420" will be created)
5.2. extract all .xwma files from the .xwb to that directory
5.3. call xWMAEncode for each file, i.e. all .xwma files will be converted to .wavs
5.4. delete all .xwma files (because they are no longer needed)
So in the end you'll have a directory containing playable .wavs for each .xwb

BUT: Problem is:
The tool xactxtract was written only to use Little Endians!
“actextract: this initially didn't work because Music.xwb is big endian and the program was designed for a PC game (which is little endian). “
The user Kaisonic (not from here) edited the source code and now you'll be able to use Big Endian (tool is now named 'xact360extract.exe')!
Parameters are now: xact360extract music.xwb NameOutputFolder
So the "-x2" parameter isn't used anymore!
And you have to do this for every single .xwb, there's no batch processing anymore. But one could write some simple lines of code, which call this tool with the specific .xwb and the same output folder name..

Unfortunately the original songnames can not be recovered from the XSBs files:
"So far, the tool just extracts .XWBs and provides info about .xsb/.xwb. Inserting a cue (see explanation below) into an .xsb is difficult, because .xsb uses (among other obstacles) a hash function...and I don't know, what this function looks like. But the good news is: extracting the Saint Row 2 .XWBs to .WAVs works (and therefor the subject/main question of this thread is solved)"

Halo Spartan Assault In-Game Edits ..

And what is the difference between files like:
musicGameplay1-1_RisingLegacy01.wav
musicGameplay1-1_RisingLegacy01_loop.wav

They are 1:1 the same...

thanks

And what is the difference between files like:
musicGameplay1-1_RisingLegacy01.wav
musicGameplay1-1_RisingLegacy01_loop.wav

They are 1:1 the same...

"musicGameplay1-1_RisingLegacy01_loop.wav" was rendered with "musicGameplay1-1_RisingLegacy01_loopend" placed at the beginning with it, to make the loop totally seamless & mimick the actual in-game track, whilst "musicGameplay1-1_RisingLegacy01.wav" begins as it does in the OST's "Rising".

The difference is something you tend to notice when it's not there rather than when it's there, although the higher quantity of drums in the first beat of "musicGameplay1-1_RisingLegacy01_loop.wav" shouldn't be too hard to spot (at least with my headphones).

Frankly, I'm surprised you're not holding "musicGameplay2-3_Onslaught00" & "musicGameplay2-3_Onslaught00_loop" as an example, as although I did the same as stated above for "musicGameplay2-3_Onslaught00_loop", the difference is very hard to spot.

So whilst such examples may seem the same, they're technically different in minute ways, so you can put them all together without even knowing they even came apart.

Speaking of Halo: Spartan Assault, if you wish to do a full In-Game Album for Halo: Spartan Assault, for you do have unique tracks such as "musicGameplay6-5_SadNoble01" & "Quiet Evolution/musicGameplay1-4_QuietEvolution01" (which surprisingly mixes well when rendered together with "Epic Revolution/musicGameplay1-4_QuietEvolution01" (http://youtu.be/S6g3tI-9yxU?t=1h3m52s)), here's the file path to find them in the Steam Version's game files:

32bit: My Computer > "[Your Hard Drive]" (C: in my case) > Program Files > Steam > steamapps > common > Halo Spartan Assault > Data

64bit: My Computer > "[Your Hard Drive]" (C: in my case) > Program Files x86 > Steam > steamapps > common > Halo Spartan Assault > Data

It's only �3.99/$4.99 & 1.6GB, so it's no big expense.

BE WARNED: They're not exactly high fidelity, as although they are 16bit 44,100hz, their downscaling for Halo: Spartan Assault's small size is noticeable. Hence why I created what in-game equivelants I could using the Original Soundtrack (at least for those that weren't in the Original Soundtrack in their exact same form).

Love it, thanks

The Master Chief Collection went gold today and can be preloaded on consoles. Is there anyway to rip the music from Halo 2 Anniversary off of it at this point, or do we have to wait closer to release?

It probably uses the same encryption and compression as halo 2, so it SHOULDN'T be hard, the problem is getting the ripper.

Any chances at all for lossless rips of Halo 2 (complete) and in the future Halo 2 Anniversary (complete)? I hate that they don't just include all the music on a soundtrack in the first place.. My entire library is lossless and I'd really like to add your complete rips to it, especially for Halo 2. The Anniversary soundtrack release is a joke and doesn't even include half the music from the game on it. As if they're going to release a volume 2 like the original. But I doubt that.

(Examples being the outro cutscene for Quarantine Zone and immediately after the music for the Gravemind encounter, and earlier, the outro cutscene for Oracle -- these pieces of music weren't in the folder, but can be found under the sound tag for their respective levels. The gravemind encounter music being sound\cinematics\07_highcharity\x08\music\x08_01_m us for example)

Wanna share the cutscenes music?

Preferably in flac/wav.

Better yet, tell me how to do it myself.

Sure thing :) As I own a Mac, my method may be a little unique. I use VMware fusion running Windows XP, and inside of that I use a program called ADI (http://ibotmodz.net/forum/files/file/5-adi/) to open Halo 2 Xbox Map Files, which is handy as is allows you to both preview and save sound files in lossless format. The sound files can be saved as chunks or sounds as either wav or wma with the Xbox ADPCM codec. However, I have not yet figured out how to convert these files to standard wav, so, I have a little cheat method instead. I use the program to preview these audio files, and, on my Mac, use a program called Audio Hijack Pro which snatches the lossless files as they play. It's handy because no quality is lost in the process and I don't have to convert the Xbox ADPCM codec. The only downside is that loopable files are no longer loopable as there is silence from when I press the record and stop buttons, but that's an issue easily fixed with some Audacity magic called Zero Point Crossings. This method is probably pretty bad and sluggish, but it works perfectly fine for me and its what I am familiar with. As I said above I'm working on my own lossless Halo 2 Soundtrack, utilizing as much of the anniversary (because I really like the new music) and original soundtrack music as possible, while only relying on the game audio rips when needed.

I've included an image above of my workstation. To the left you can see Vmware running ADI on Windows XP, the bottom left corner windows houses the lossless "rips" from ADI, the bottom middle being Bizargh's ZIP file, the bottom right being Audio Hijack Pro, and the middle being Audacity with a song I just finished using strictly gamerip sources. (In this instance, I had to rip some percussive music from the game because it wasn't in the folder). The song is the beginning of Uprising. Loops of "Heavy Price Paid" with no piano, and an underlying percussive melody from "wage" with no strings.

To make things easier, tell me which cutscene music you need and I can send them all your way. So far, I've got 72 songs on the Soundtrack. Mind you, I've stitched together a few to save some that would otherwise be 30 seconds or less, which seems useless to me in terms of listening ;)

thanks

MEGA is super holy sh!!t awesome!!! I have downloaded this via torrent and its really slow, 15kb/s...
LOL, well I only need the spartan assault, and odst. In my opinion the best OST are on Halo 3, which most are remastered from 1 and 2.

has anyone knowing if h2 anniversary cd album, or digital only?

The Halo 2 Anniversary soundtrack was released on both CD and Digital on November 11th. I have the CD. Trust me it's not worth buying because it doesn't even have half of all the remastered music on it.

Whoa whoa whoa wait wait wait. You're telling me, that I have spent years & years trying to find a means to extract Halo 2's Sound Data, going through various forums & dead ends like Gravemind 1.6. When all this time the tool which I used to swap my Warthog turrets during my Halo 2 modding days, could do this all along?!!

You're a bloody Godsend mate!

Amazing! Is Halo 3's score available in this format?

Only if you can get your hands on unmodded campaign maps files, and a working map manager/editor for halo 3 like ascension, adjutant or composer.

I tried to, but the cinematic music ALWAYS gave me an error when I wanted to extract them.


-SNIP-
Thanks m8, luckily for me, I don't have to do stereo mix recording as I can save the raw audio without problems and can edit it in audacity.

Only one problem I have is with the main menu music, but I'll figure it out.

Xboxdb (ftp://publicftp.access.dyn-net.com/-%20XboxDB.com%20(READ-ONLY)/Xbox%20360%20Game%20Data/DISK/) (username: publicftp, password: password) has all the unmodded maps from Halo 3, ODST, Reach, and Halo 4, including campaign. Adjutant v2 rev3.5 (http://forum.halomaps.org/index.cfm?page=topic&topicID=45590) (one of the few tools still updated) can extract most of the sounds from halo 3 and up, excluding cinematics and some other sound variables which are still a no go. It even exports and converts them to WAV PCM.

Glad I could help. My findings were the result of hours of research lol. There are some nifty tools out there if you look hard enough! I also had my run-in with Gravemind. I only stumbled upon ADI when I downloaded a Halo 2 Modding Tools pack. I chose to open ADI by random and, well, it worked!

OK I give up, I can't get the main menu music to extract, checked all maps and none of them have it, including shared.map, singleplayer.map and mainmenu.map.

Yeah, got all the music from the cutscenes and then some.

You got any luck finding it?

OK I give up, I can't get the main menu music to extract, checked all maps and none of them have it, including shared.map, singleplayer.map and mainmenu.map.

The main menu music from Halo 2 is comprised of six tracks including the Bungie intro.

1. Bungie Logo (beginning of "Prologue" from Volume 2)
2. Halo 2 (Choral) (Ending of The Last Spartan from Volume 1)
3. Remembrance (With Strings) (It's not on Volume 1 or 2 that I know of, but the anniversary soundtrack has it, it's called "Unsullied Memory")
4. The Last Spartan (Specifically 1:07-1:40, Volume 1, but the game version has just a timpani crescendo in the beginning, as opposed to the soundtrack version which has orchestral stuff backing it)
5. Heavy Price Paid (Volume 1)
6. Unforgotten (Volume 2)

Other than Remembrance (with strings) and the alternate beginning of the section from The Last Spartan, everything else is already on the soundtrack. I'll have a look when I get home. However, I have a good idea that Remembrance (with strings) can be found in the Level Regret, as both the strings and non strings versions play while in the underwater elevator. You might fancy a look in that map :) (deltatowers.map)

Ah, well excellent then. What tool?

Ah, well excellent then. What tool?

It's called Ambiance, a sound editor for Halo 2.

Glad I could help. My findings were the result of hours of research lol. There are some nifty tools out there if you look hard enough! I also had my run-in with Gravemind. I only stumbled upon ADI when I downloaded a Halo 2 Modding Tools pack. I chose to open ADI by random and, well, it worked!

Well, my only trouble with Gravemind is that I run a 64bit system, and I'm told it's not particularly favourable to systems not running 32bit. That and I don't have Halo 2 [PC] nor any repositories storing their .map files. Which I hope to change, for despite my sheer enthusiasm at learning ADI's got sound extraction, it's somewhat lacking in getting the bundled !snd files like dialogue & weapons (As I'm interested in much more than just music), and also Ambiance can get much more, it's quite topsy-turvy. So right now, I'm hoping claims that it won't run on 64bit is wrong and Gravemind 1.6 in conjunction with a copy of Halo 2 Vista could at least pick up the slack, because Halo 2's Audio has got a wealth of vid-making potential & enjoyable dialogue more people than myself can utilise. Plus, since Bulletstorm & GFWL proved a problemless experience thus far, I'm hoping Halo 2 & Gears of War could infact be so too, aswell as a good source of audio.

Thanks for the XboxDB link by the way! There's a fair number of people who've been missing that. I certainly won't delay in grabbing what I couldn't before it last went down.

Hey! Does anybody has the theme from the ending of Halo 4... When UNSC pick Chief from space, right after Cortana's death?

Hey! Does anybody has the theme from the ending of Halo 4... When UNSC pick Chief from space, right after Cortana's death?

Not as heard in the cutscene, but there was a mix of it used for the Halo 4 Beta Build, and then the Master Chief Collection (Glad it made a comeback officially). I'm surprised it didn't even make a mix in any of Halo 4's official soundtrack releases. This for me is one of the real tearjerkers.

Here it is in a collection of menu themes for the Halo 4 Alpha/Beta as extracted by "Gamecheat13" (a Halo modder): http://www.mediafire.com/download/sfq1ki5x1gh5mr7/alpha_main_menu.rar

It may not sound that brilliant in quality, but that's probably due to the sound compression 343 used. So many 7th Gen Console games/ports compromised their sound quality to shrink the memory capacity, as audio can be a very bulky thing (Look at Titanfall! 35GB/50GB of the PC release's size was it's uncompressed .WAV audio, but having every language VO contributed to that load. Lucky source modders & audiophiles!).

And before you probably ask, I don't know anyone, or know anyone who knows anyone, who's yet figured their way around the Xbox One's system in order to rip or extract game data and/or sound, which is why there's no "Halo 2 Anniversary: In-Game Soundtrack" or Master Chief Collection version of the music I sent as of yet.

Awesome! Thanks!

Thank you so much! I was looking for all of this since long time ago. THANKS!

Only 02_H2_XRIP is the updated rip, the rest are the same, only on their own 7zip archives.

Some songs on the updated rip sound worse than on the the previous one.

Hey guys, been awhile. whats been going on the last 6 months? is there a 100% complete Halo 4 OSV yet? and what about the MCC and H2A, I'm betting those are still in the works right?

Also, will it be possible to extact anything from the Halo 5 beta?

Generally on the Xbox One front, I'm hearing nothing. It remains a nut people are still trying to crack in all regards as far as I've been informed. So I'm definitely not expecting anything from Halo: The Master Chief Collection, let alone the full game Halo 5: Guardians for a long time, especially if neither of them ever see the ever-more-desired PC Port (Which pretty much has the slimmest of chances of happening anyway, as even though Halo: Spartan Assault proved the Steam Community's very enthusiastic to have Halo, I think Microsoft's awfully keen to ensure their best card's not being laid on other tables too quickly if at all) in which extracting it's assets would presumably become more easier, quicker & desireable.

Latest I've heard at all is the tool I personally use, Adjutant, getting an update to support Halo: Anniversary & Halo 2 [Xbox] .map files for bitmap, texture and/or model extraction, or something along those lines at least. We have yet to see if they intend to expand that support that to sound extraction for them (It doesn't seem as high a priority to them compared to getting the models & textures for Halo [PC] modding & Source porting for use in GarrysMod, Source Filmmaker, etc). Otherwise Halo 4 audio extraction with it still remains limited & unable to grab it's music as before, and I certainly don't know anyone having a go at ripping it through the various means I don't know about or understand.

Right now, my immediate attention is drawn to Halo: Spartan Strike. As I'm presuming it'll be close enough to identical to Halo: Spartan Assault on a technical level, I'm hoping I can just jump into it's game files & grab it's music files. If that infact does happen, I'm then hoping they won't be compressed or at least as compressed like Halo: Spartan Assault's, otherwise I'll probably end up having the same fun editing what Official Soundtrack I can to match their in-game counterparts as higher-quality alternatives, then Fireseed having his fun making an album from it.

Thank you for that.

I know it's probably hopeless lol, but would anyone happen to have some extra stuff from Halo Legends? Especially that main theme/Unyielding remix from "The Package", played when John, Kelly & Fred run & fight all accross the Covenant ship. That has to be the only remaining Halo track I dream of owning.

Bumping... no one else interested?

Hmm, so the same methods we use on the PS3 can't be used on the XBO extractions? I was hoping that since it was all encoded in blu-ray it should've been an easier process since we have had that kind of encoding with the PS3 for a good while now. but I guess its different processes in how the discs themselves are locked and whatnot. either way, I hope somebody backs that H5 beta up! god the information we can glean from it later will be gold (esp. the music!)

I think it became possible for Halo 4 because I did see an OSV floating around sometime back, but it was incomplete something about the cutscene music being unable to extract. Joshua, do you recall this?

I'm glad that the old halo games are still being worked on in getting better extractions.

More or less with the PC/Steam release announced the files should be able to stay the same, I'd just focus on that for extracting and if there is anything left over from the Spartan Strike official soundtrack add it in.

Well, I honestly don't know. I'm mostly more informed about the game modding scene (Which I'm hardly that well informed on to begin with), where I'm usually sharp eyed for Source-Ports & Sound Extraction. I'd imagine your guess in regards to disc or data-ripping is better than mine. All I know is, everyone's still awaiting the day they can extract & modify the contents of their Xbox One games, and if they're not, I certainly missed that memo.

As for Halo: Spartan Strike, I'm keeping my fingers crossed the music files don't get shoved into an .FSB like most of Halo: Spartan Assault's data was, otherwise whether I enjoy the music or not, it'll be out of my reach.

The Halo 4 cutscene music was included in the game rip, but it includes the SFX. No way to extract without it.

Did anyone make a Halo 4 gamerip? Where is it, it doesn't show up in the search.

How complete is that? because I remember some music being discovered after seeing that topic, not only that but Gamecheat13 released tracks from the Beta version of the game.

It's a game rip, so it should be as complete as it can get. All the cutscenes have some SFX tho. There was no way around it. Do you have a link to the music from the Beta? I've never seen it here.

Does anyone know if there exists a version of Genesong without the guitar (basically the remix of Unyielding)? Cause I found a version with minimal background noise on Youtube but I'd like to know if I could get my hands on a high-quality file, thanks :)

Well, Halo: Spartan Strike decided to release out-of-the-blue today. And I have very good news.

The game is so identical to Halo: Spartan Assault, the music files were sitting in plain sight in the exact same spot. And the even better new is, this time they are not compressed to the point of distinct quality loss, so having to edit loops from the Official Soundtrack isn't a necessity.

I'll see about offering them to the collection, but if you can't wait on my account, should you purchase the game from Steam (Which is going for US$6.00 or UK�4.79), here's where to locate them: Your Storage Device (Usually C :) > Programs or Programs x86 > Steam > steamapps > common > Sledgehammer > Data.

EDIT: Or better yet, go visit a fella who saved me the trouble (But do let me know if it ever goes down):

I heard the official soundtrack is up too, any differences between the 2 versions Bizargh?

Hey so wheres Halo 2 Anniversary's soundtrack? Can't find it on the front page.

I heard the official soundtrack is up too, any differences between the 2 versions Bizargh?

Well, the Official Soundtrack is only available digitally via standard retailers such as Amazon MP3, iTunes & Google Play (thus only .MP3 formats to my knowledge), is professionally audio balanced, and includes numerous tracks & mixes unique to it (Especially one I adore; "Epic Evolution Reborn", an evolution on one of my favourite Halo: Spartan Assault themes).

The In-Game Music files are all 160kbps 44kHz .OGG files (And definitely higher quality then the noticeably compressed music of Halo: Spartan Assault), with a fair number of music tracks in their unmixed form & many designed to loop. Plus, they're naturally balanced at a much lower dB for in-game audio balancing.


Hey so wheres Halo 2: Anniversary's soundtrack? Can't find it on the front page.

You're not seeing it there probably because there really isn't much at all missing from the Official Soundtrack release, and what little there is not in it can't be acquired yet (Well, at least since I last checked). Plus, more importantly, I haven't seen Joshua Fireseed active for a good while. Maybe someone else has & can infact state otherwise, but for now, I'm assuming he either won't be returning anytime soon or isn't in any rush to make any additions to the collection for any number of reasons.

So I would suggest going out & buying yourself a copy of the digital or 2-Disc CD album or taking a peak around here and see if anyone else on this site has provided it.

The only alternative I can offer, and forgive me if I'm "selling you what you already own", is all the Halo 2: Classic in-game music

If Joshua hasn't been on in a good while, then we need to start backing up his stuff before it goes down.

No real differences from what I can tell, but grab both just in case.

As for H2A, the halo modding scene either doesn't care about it or is more dead than the dead sea.

But that album is included with the rest of the Halo 2 music.

The last time I updated the thread I merged everything based on the game's title, so the Combat Evolved folder has all the music for Halo 1, same with halo 2 and the rest.

For some reason when Listening to rip from ODST there is a pop/click noise in a lot of tracks that is bothersome, and in Halo 2 there is a static clipping in almost every track. Did my downloads corrupt for some reason or is this how they are?

thanks for all the soundtracks.

many thanks for the share Joshua Fireseed!

How do you rip the soundtrack of a game?

thank you

Wow, epic! Thank you!

Receiving an error when I try to dl Halo CE and Halo 2 OST in the OP. Any help?

Does anyone by any chance know the tracks from the score that make up the track "Halo Reach Trailer - Lone Wolf"? I know there's 3 or 4 mixed into but I don't know which ones. Thanks

I wrote that poorly, what I meant was was something like this:

The OST for Reach and ODST which I uploaded are already split apart like that, so are the Halo 2 Volume 2 and Halo 3.

In fact, I'm the guy that originally came up with that idea ages ago.

Just so you know, the rips of Halo 2, ODST, and Reach have a lot of clicks, pops, and clipping/static in them. Not sure if thats something I can fix?

Sorry but I can't download or upload anything right now.

Internet got cut at home and I'm using my smartphone's data plan to post in here, won't be able to update this thread for at least another two weeks.

I'm also waiting for the original soundtrack to be released in FLAC or 320 mp3 at the very least, 128 is not good enough.

Thanks!

That's on MEGA's end, the servers are probably overloaded, I can't upload either.

There's a thread here:
Thread 196273

Looks like he ripped the CD and also has a version from the included Blu Ray.

Thank you, and how old might that be? :p
Maybe "too old for this" isn't the correct thing to say.

I don't have as much free time as I did back when I first made my account here, nearly 8 years ago, I was still in high school back then.

Free time or me time as some call it slowly shrank as time passed, it's the reason I killed my YouTube channel (on top of the awful copyright bullshit they kept adding) and why I stick to anonymous message boards.

Thanks Josh!

Joshua think you can provide an alternate link? MEGA just isn't working for me I've been trying all day but I've been stuck at 99% each time.

It's already included in the link for Halo 2 stuff, same with every other game, all the available music for each game is included in their respective mega folders.

Thanks man, got them though MEGA was giving me trouble earlier.

Btw, offtopic but who did the ID3 tags for your soundtracks?! "Halo Domain" for every singe track as Contributing Artist?!?! ugh that fucks with my OCD soo bad because thats the column you see right under neath or side to every track in any music player and I like seeing who is properly credited.

By the way, off topic but who did the ID3 tags for your soundtracks?! "Halo Domain" for every singe track as Contributing Artist?!?! Ugh that fucks with my OCD soo bad because that's the column you see right underneath or side to every track in any music player and I like seeing who is properly credited.

The collection I've got set up here should sort you out in that regard: Thread 193811. The tags have gotten a thorough treatment and when they don't suffice, I've got the CD Booklet or additional information in a text file to accommodate.

Funny how much a CD booklet can tell you that tags nor most retailers will (Ex. C Paul Johnson, better known for Destiny, was involved in composing music for Bungie since Halo 3).

Btw, offtopic but who did the ID3 tags for your soundtracks?
That would have been me.

I make and remake tons of playlists and having to deal with various composers who worked in different titles kinda complicates things when I'm in a pinch, so I just decided to give every single franchise I deal with an unique id3 tag.

You're free to edit them as you like, I'm just providing people with the music, it's not like I composed it or anything.

In case anyone is interested, or if it hasn't yet been posted, someone was very nice enough to share their rips of some Halo scores as they appear in game with very little or no FX.

I hope yall enjoy. Please note the tracks are organized by level. I literally wanted H2A just for the creepy female choir during the Tartarus fight and it's there. Just have to do some skipping around. Maybe one day, I'll cut it up before now, I will just remember minute second markers. Cheers!

It's actually pretty good quality. I'm not sure when the soundtrack will be releasing. hopefully tomorrow.

I'm not sure when the soundtrack will be releasing. Hopefully tomorrow.

According to Amazon.com, Sumthing Else Music Works just released the CDs for Halo Wars 2 Original Soundtrack (First time since Halo: Anniversary Sumthing released physical music for Halo) alongside Gears of War 4: The Soundtrack as well as Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six: Siege & Steep's soundtrack in the States. Amazon Canada & UK, the latter my region, list them as yet to be released on February 24th.

And since I've been certainly eager to get my hands on Gears of War 4's soundtrack CD after numerous delays, especially as the only lossless release I know of was on Groove Music, I might as well fetch me a copy of Halo Wars 2's music as well, even if any other CD rippers here are faster than myself.

Thank you!

I have a thread up already with the CD rip.

So what happened did you retire Joshua Fireseed?

So what happened did you retire Joshua Fireseed?
I certainly hope that is not the case. He was a true hero back in the day and I still regard him as one. However, we must also understand if he can no longer dedicate his time to this.
As the Didact said, there is a time like this for all of us, and for Joshua, that time may very well be now.

Hmm, didn't know people actually missed me.
I'm thinking about starting up again, but I will only focus on hosting the music from the original trilogy + halo wars and reach.
I can't look at the reclaimer trilogy without wanting to punch someone in the face.
