In Response To: Re: M1 Soundtrack Remakes, Completed in 7 Years (fracai)

: I've actually done this, but haven't had the time to package them up. Here
: they are without any tags or artwork.

: The spaced-joined file is a CUE file next to a single M4A with an extra 1.5
: seconds between each track. Might be useful if anyone wants to burn it to
: CD.

: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/464024/Music/normalized-single.zip
: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/464024/Music/normalized-spaced-joined.zip

: (Give it until 8:30 EDT before they're fully uploaded.)

: And the script that I used to create them. Just place the lossless QT2.0
: tracks in a folder called ALAC and run this from directly above that
: directory.

: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/464024/Music/process.sh

: Basically, I: 1) decoded the lossless to WAVE
: 2) duped the mono to stero (otherwise shntool wouldn't process them)
: 3) used shnfix to ensure each ended on a CD sector (this adds a minuscule
: amount of silence)
: 4) normalize
: 5) convert back to M4A
: 6) tack on 1.5 seconds of silence to the end of each
: 7) build a CUE file
: 8) join the tracks to a single file
: 9) convert to M4A

: The script uses shntool, alac, sox, and normalize (all from MacPorts), as
: well as afconvert.

: Easy peasy :-)

Nice. These are definitely louder without any noticeable distortion. We could obsess over the quality of these like true audiophilacs but we need to remember their humble MIDI origins. Like it says in the M2 manual... "like the hundredth copy of a third generation duplication of a substandard bootleg - they’re a little fuzzy."

Cheers
