| Description: I want to apologize up front that this collection isn't in FLAC. The source material is OGG Vorbis, therefore there's no real reason to compile it in here as more than that. The spectrals look surprisingly good though, with most of the action-packed music hitting 22khz. This little endeavor has taken me almost 2 years at this point, off and on, as Phantom Liberty has kickstarted me to finish it for good. I've had to sift through over 4,000 samples, multiple times, trying to identify the numerous pieces of each song, as the music is sliced into chunks. I then compiled/arranged them into FL Studio, and finally did a bit of mastering (to prevent clipping) to give each track a good baseline volume. I also took as few liberties as I could, at least when it came to piecing together tracks. In other words, I tried not to artificially extend music in the way others have online. Tracks I did make personal touches to are "Songbird's Medley" (For obvious reasons, I wanted to combine a lot of the insignificant tracks together for her), "Arasaka Action" (The two pieces combined needed to be mastered appropriately), "Leaving With Panam" (I combined two of the most crucial endgame tracks for the Aldecaldos questline), "Cynosure Core" (This is recorded in-game, as I couldn't find it in the file-list), and finally, the track with Judy humming (Which is also recording in-game). To add to the challenge, I had to name many of the tracks' artists. I did the best I could, listening to the official soundtrack and correlating artists to certain synth samples that may be featured in other arrangements. I also took it into my own interest to name the music in a way that makes more sense to me. For example, rather than naming the title screen "V", I named the character creation screen "V". I also branded the particular music featured under "Kang Tao", as such. I can understand why there might be a debate for this particular instance, as it's randomly scattered around the world, but one thing is fairly consistent, is that wherever the Kang Tao roam, that music plays. It's the best I could do. Anyway, enough talking. Enjoy this trip down memory lane! I surely have. :) | Description: I want to apologize up front that this collection isn't in FLAC.
