Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
I know this is a old topic, but if anybody has a copy of the FLAC rip and is willing to reupload it, I would be over the moon! I've tried PMing Infernus Animositas, but Infernus Animositas appears to be inactive or dead.

Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
I'll be reuploading the FLAC and OGG rips soon.
I rip a lot of video game soundtracks and upload them as well. I'll post the new links here when they're up mmk

Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
Oh my... Wow I did not expect you to get back. Thank you so much!
P.S: Would you mind if I create a public torrent using your rip?

No that's fine. As long as you credit me as the original ripper/uploader of the OST I'm OK with you doing that

Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
Here's the N64 rip in FLAC. Tracks play through completely two times before fading out the third time. Thanks goes out to Parasyte for providing the original streams.

Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
Just downloaded the N64. It's awesome, good work!
I would put it on RayTunes but I'm not sure if the R2 N64 soundtrack should take up 1GB of our server. That's... quite a lot. I'll discuss this with Hunch (he's the owner of the server).

Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
Another problem is the songs are not 'right'. I have a copy of a Dreamcast rip, which was done via recording the music in-game with sounds turned off. You will notice that Infernus Animositas's rip does not contain the right order for each part of the song, such as different beginnings. I believe the only way to fix this is to study the dreamcast rip (which I would be able to upload later this week if anybody is interested) and then compile each song using Ray2Get streams. This would take a very long time, but it would be the first "pure" rip of Rayman 2.Drolpiraat wrote:Also, there are a few problems with the PC soundtrack, the first one being that it'll probably have to be redone because Ray2Get might not be 100% correct after all (see this topic on XeNTaX). Not sure about this though. But don't worry, as soon as I get a good reply, I'll rip it myself.
Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
Look I know all that, which is why I was going to redo the rip myself. It wouldn't be the first pure rip of Rayman 2 though since Synthesis already did that - except that Ray2Get doesn't work correctly.j4tp wrote:Another problem is the songs are not 'right'.

Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
I just arranged the music by the filenames and numbers. The game chooses different segments to loop in certain areas so I believe that the order I've put them in is the order they were meant to be heard otherwise the filenames would be named differently. For example AS1, AS2, AS3

Are you talking about this post in particular by Synthesis?Drolpiraat wrote:It wouldn't be the first pure rip of Rayman 2 though since Synthesis already did that
Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
Yes, I am. And I know that Synthesis did exactly the same, but it IS how it is in the game.j4tp wrote:Are you talking about this post in particular by Synthesis?Drolpiraat wrote:It wouldn't be the first pure rip of Rayman 2 though since Synthesis already did that
The game decides to loop different segments at different times, but the way Infernus and Synthesis ripped it is how it is meant to be heard.
@Infernus: However, there are some other issues with your rip. Some tracks are named incorrectly: for example, you named two tracks of the Precipice an "alternate movement" and an "alternate version" for the credits song. It's not only naming issues though: you also forgot to convert EA1F.apm, for example (there's more, I think), which Synthesis forgot to put in his ray2all.bat. That whole track (50 - into the sanctuary) is a mess by the way - while the order of the actual game files is correct, yours isn't. Did you listen to it? You should. There are probably other tracks like that.
EDIT -> Ray2Get works correctly, apparently. I guess the PC version really does have some quality problems. Tested with the GOG version, it's hearable in-game. I guess I'll put up my PC version rip - which I'll start working on today - and then later a new Rayman Revolution rip (that doesn't have those quality problems) with all the tracks instead of just the extra ones. Rayman Revolution doesn't have the extra audio though, so I'll put both versions on RayTunes.

Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
I'll look into it when I can.
Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
Oops... I may have forgotten a few other ones. The problem is, my converter doesn't support wildcardsDrolpiraat wrote: It's not only naming issues though: you also forgot to convert EA1F.apm, for example (there's more, I think), which Synthesis forgot to put in his ray2all.bat.
I also realize that there's another missing part in the end of "The Menhir Hills" song, which IS in this trailer (from 0:51 to 0:57). But that file isn't even in the game resources...

At first I thought there still was something wrong with my decoder, but I had a listen while playing the game and I noticed that the quality of the original files was not that clear anyway.
Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
Dammit, there's another and MUCH simpler way to convert ALL .apm files than using my .bat file (cause it works with a list of "predefined" file names).Synthesis wrote: Oops... I may have forgotten a few other ones. The problem is, my converter doesn't support wildcards
Use this script instead of the original one:
Code: Select all
@echo off
echo Starting conversion...
for %%f in (*.apm) do echo %%f & ray2get.exe %%f
echo Converted.
@echo on

Isn't this that same topic in which someone told you .apm format was ADPCM ?
Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
Nope, it was a new topic I created when I still thought the quality of the converted files was less than the in-game music (didn't remember that you could actually hear that it was low quality). But it turned out I was wrong, so I deleted my topic. Your converter actually works perfectly. I made my own *.bat file to convert everything so that's good, and I also managed to open outro1.apm without your converter. So everything is fine. Both your name (should I put Synthesis or Palorifgrodbierzrt?) and Infernus's will be listed. Thanks, both of you!Synthesis wrote:this link seems dead...

How did you manage to do it? (by the way: the source code is online too).Drolpiraat wrote:I made my own *.bat file to convert everything so that's good, and I also managed to open outro1.apm without your converter.
Well I use several nicknames, but you can put Synthesis, as it's the one I use the most often (even though there are lots of guys whose nick is Synthesis -- nouns or common words can often be a bad choice). (Palorifgrodbierzrt is my youtube nickname -- I couldn't find anything cool that wasn't already used so I took this )Drolpiraat wrote:So everything is fine.

btw, just had a look... file was removed from mediafire.
Edit: [Alternate download link -- includes new .bat file]

Re: Rayman 2 Soundtrack in FLAC or WAV?
Nothing complicated, really, just opened it in Goldwave as 4bit mono ADPCM, 11025Hz. That way, it sounded just like your mp3 version of it, so I guess it reads it right?Synthesis wrote:How did you manage to do it?Drolpiraat wrote:I made my own *.bat file to convert everything so that's good, and I also managed to open outro1.apm without your converter.
It's still online, I attached it to my reply post in the topic where you posted it (I think)Synthesis wrote:btw, just had a look... file was removed from mediafire.
