Title: Is ther anyway to get the soundtrack for Freespace?
Post by: ARMEDnPISSED on October 18, 2009, 11:08:36 am: I really enjoyed the first Freespace's soundtrack... I've downloaded Freespace 2's soundtrack off GoG but I don't like it as much as the originals... anyone know where I can get it?

Post by: General Battuta on October 18, 2009, 11:10:24 am: Yep, just extract it from the VP files with Maja or VPView32 or VPMage or whatever.

I use VPView, it's very easy.

If someone has high quality (using the high-bitrate tracks) meshed together musics, that would be awesome!

Post by: IronBeer on October 18, 2009, 09:56:13 pm: I have the "meshed-together" tracks, but I'm keeping them. Just use the MV_music_high (?) .vp archive and put it together yourself. It's really easy, just get Audacity or summat like that.

Post by: Goober5000 on October 19, 2009, 02:27:26 pm: Someone made some mashups of the FS tracks awhile ago. I've uploaded them here. Grab them quick, because I'll be taking them down in a few days.

Tried. Failed. Cried.

I've never used any audio editing programs before, and I got screwed over when I had to stick 22.1kHz stuff with 44.2kHz stuff and I think possibly a few 48kHz stuff into the same track.

Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on October 20, 2009, 09:51:34 am: I have my mashups uploaded here (http://cid-78eece80a0658c61.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/Descent%20FreeSpace%20-%20The%20Great%20Freeloader%5E4s%20Soundtrack). Feel free to download them if you want.

EDIT: By the way, Goober, I downloaded your ZIP, and those files look and sound a great deal like the ones I uploaded. They probably are, given that the file names are the same.

EDIT 2: I should also probably get around to re-releasing them with their proper names some day. :p

Awesome. :) I had forgotten who had made them and where they were uploaded. I've taken down my zip.

And I agree with Kolgena: you ought to do the FS2 ones now. :D

Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on October 21, 2009, 10:54:12 am: Yeah well, when I have the time. School's just started, so if you want me to do HQ mashups, wait till Christmas or mid-February. The original retail-quality mashups, however, were done quite a while ago, and I can upload them sometime over the next few days if you want.

Only for Freespace 2, not the first.

I'd love the HQ ones for a Christmas present, if you don't mind :)

Post by: Colonol Dekker on October 22, 2009, 03:19:22 pm: MAshups tend to be mixes between two different songs. Is that the case with these? :confused:

I'll download if they're good :nod:
Title: Re: Is ther anyway to get the soundtrack for Freespace?
Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on October 23, 2009, 10:49:22 am: More like a compilation of in-game music events.

The organisation of files on my SkyDrive is messed up. I'll need to re-structure the whole thing once I have the time to do so. Until then, I'll just leave the compilations uploaded where they are.

Post by: Androgeos Exeunt on October 23, 2009, 11:24:12 am: Double-post. :D

All right, the FS2 soundtrack compilations that I've done up are now at here (http://cid-78eece80a0658c61.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/FreeSpace%202/warble%5E_fs2.vp%20Compilations). You'll notice the HQ remix for FS2_E, also known as Revelation. That was done simply because I had the original three MP3 pieces on my Mac for a time. Victory Fanfare A is the Objective Completed sound and FS2_Vict_A combined, just like how I did the ending for FS1's M3.

The files at the above link will stay there even if I do actually get around to restructuring the stuff on my SkyDrive.
