Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
Anyway, if you want I can work on both versions...
If you send me all the individual loops/chunks in FLAC lossless format, I would have the complete soundtrack and I would be able to work on both of them

Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
Yeah ok but just I have a problem, I definetely can't find the intro of the Channel 00 on GC you putted in your video. On PS2, ther are called "Fin_X"
Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
How are the sequences stored in the GC version? Is there a DATA.HST file as well? If yes, can you just rip every single sequence and convert it to FLAC without worrying about wether or not the sequences you're looking for are in there?
Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
I can, but you're not interested in those additional outros? I find them very good.
Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
I'm interested in everything you can give me
I mean, if I gather all the sequences, then I'll be able to have a complete version of the soundtrack I can work on...

I will try to reassemble them. Once it finished, I'll give you FLAC, MP3 & WAV.

Is the file called 'tribe.hst' in the GC version? How did you manage to rip the audio from there?
Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
Just use the Rayman Arena Gamecube script.

Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
This is the reason why I wanted to check the GC version...
I used the Rayman Arena GC script to extract the audio from the 'tribe.hst' as you told me to do, so you don't have to send me the soundtrack in FLAC or WAV.
And as I expected, this is the result I got:
GC version:
PS2 version:
The PS2 version and the GC version have approximately the same quality...
What you see in the GC version screenshot is just aliasing above 11025Hz...
By listening to both of them, they sound the same, with the exception that the GC version has more noise and aliasing...
Of course you may still be convinced that the GC version sounds better because it has a higher samplerate, but it's just the additional noise/fizzing that gives you the illusion...

Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
Wow, ok. I figured out why we can't have the segments in order on PS2. On GC, HXD and BNH files both have the same name. (wld1lv1.vnh, wld1lv1.hxd), but on PS2, level music for world 1 are concentrated into one big file. On GC, each levels have a folder. On PS2, the BNH are separated like on GC, but the HXD files have name like M_AREA52.HXD, so... We are stuck in fact. They don't work together...
Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
Well, this is what I was thinking about:
In the GC version all the loops can already be extracted in order and they match with the ones that you can hear in the PS2 version...
The PS2 version has some extra unused sequences...
So what I want to do is this:
1) Taking the already ordered loops of the GC version and concatenate them into the respective tracks (should be something like 14 or 15 tracks)
2) Downsampling the GC tracks to 22050Hz to remove the noise
3) Add the extra PS2 sequences into the GC tracks
What do you think?
This would reduce my amount of work a lot... I would spare 4 months and I would be able to finish everything in less than a week

Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
This is what i was thinking but the problem is that GC tracks have "noise" when you hear voices in music or something like that (suffering noises)... Convert into OGG 128kbps with BRSTM Converter seems to work, but not completely... Also, the "Engagement Soft" music of Area 52 in PS2 seems different in GC files... Additional keyboard sounds ??
Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
The PS2 version and the GC version don't have any differences on the Area 52 main theme...
And also, never convert tracks to MP3 or OGG if you're still working on them... Keep them into a lossless format until you make sure you have finished the work...
By the way, the noise above 11025Hz can be easily removed by just doing a simple downsampling (I just found out that this also cancels the 'suffering noise' you were talking about)...

Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
There's a big difference between the GC folder "wld2lv2" and the M_AREA52 folder on PS2. On PS2, listen to those segments : [EXT] Play_TH_THARE2I1_Engagement_Soft, and particularly the 13 & 14. That noise at the end of 13 & intro of 14 is not present normally ! And this path has 48 segments instead of GC that, at this path, have only 24 segments ! (look for [EXT] MTHARE2D401 to 424)

Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
Yeah, now I noticed some differences...
You know what? I'll do this:
I'll compare the PS2 versions and the GC version by visualizing in parallel with Audition both versions and see if can spot some more differences with the spectrogram (that is really helpful and makes you notice differences that you wouldn't normally be able to spot with your ears).
Then I'll create two versions for each track: one for the PS2 and one for the GC.

Engagement Soft 17 to 22 are very good on PS2. Why are they so much unused tracks ? This game has a really good soundtrack, we can both say it.

Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
I love this soundtrack too
Anyway, I'll start working on it right now... I should be able to finish everything in 8-9 days roughly...

Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
Ok, but beware of alternate PS2 themes. I suggest you to only work on PS2. I will focus on PS2 personally.

Re: [Download] Ripping a soundtrack from an another UbiSoft game: Disney's PK: Out Of The Shadows
Wow, this thread is getting intense
The Rayman Arena PS2 script works here and it did for TheMygoshi as well (check the extr/M_* when it's done, those contain the music it seems), but it doesn't name the files as well as for the Gamecube version (some are still out of order because the devs didn't encode the segments' individual names in the game's files). It will have higher quality though, since Gamecube dsp audio is much more heavily compressed than PS2 adpcm.DeeDyne wrote:I just tried placing the contents of 'r3_ps2' and 'ra_ps2' as said in the 'readme.txt' file and followed the instructions, but both didn't work.

Maybe I made some mistake or maybe it's just Windows...
If most of the PS2 ADPCM sequences you just extracted are in order, can I ask you to send them to me, please? (I used the PAL version)
You would do me a great favor
