[FF7PC-Steam] Maximium quality audio with perfect loop editing (2013-11-16)

(1/8) > >>

FBX:
I just completed my project of doing a reference quality music package update for FF7 PC. While there have been other similar packages made, mine offers the following advantages:

1. Maximum quality ogg conversion at Q = 10.00, which effectively gives lossless results.

2. Pulled from the OST and original game, the music tracks provided are 100% faithful and crystal clear.

3. Loop edits done at single-sample accuracy, assuring the transitions are perfectly smooth and retain every sample of data.

4. All tracks compared to original game and confirmed correct. For example, this includes using the up-tempo alternate version of "cephiros" for the "nointro" track. Any missing track data not found in the OST was recovered from the original game (like the intro to "rocket").

So what I need is for people to beta test the package to make sure all my files are working properly. I'll be playing a game from start to finish and testing the files myself. Let me know if you find any problems with any of the tracks, and I will look into it.

Cool thanks. I'm uploading it there now. Assuming no strings are attached, I'll edit the link with their address when it finishes uploading.

I'm curious how this compares to the update that Square-Enix pushed out to the Steam and 2012 versions, which replaced all the converted MIDIs with actual game rips.

That's the version I have, and is why I started the project to begin with. Their ogg set consists of weak quality rips of emulated PSF-style renditions of the tracks, and while better than the old midi method from the original PC release, it still left much to be desired. In addition to that, some of the tracks were truncated and of course this is unacceptable. So I set about using the 4-disc OST set as well as footage from the original game output and went all-out OCD on the loop edits by going down to the smallest possible level at 5 decimal places and made absolutely certain the loop edits were flawless. Then I multiplied the time code at those points by 44100 and this gave me the sample point data to edit into the ogg conversions, which I did at maximum quality Q=10.00 setting. These new music files are literally the best quality you can possibly have as the soundtrack to the game, and again have bit-perfect looping.

By the way, can you move this to the audio releases directory for me? I realize I technically posted this release in the wrong section. Thanks!
