Ooh, was this inspired by my Woodtick Suite? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpVF2t39jEc) The way it's put together is very similar. :D I've just used the themes in the order they appear in the album version... and thus there weren't so many ways lef...  [Read More]

So, can I just confirm... The "only" extras in this new DVD set are: Extra artwork from the SE Soundtrack Movie storyboards (which is awesome!) No more commentary stuff? Unless the in-game commentary has been beefed up (which I doubt), t...  [Read More]

Why not make them the same size? Also, please use this one for MI2 (click for big): http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/2734/mi2seo.jpg (http://img199.imageshack.us/img199/620/mi2se.png) Much better LeChuck and Guybrush, I'd say. I'm really not sure,...  [Read More]

Oh, haven't tried it with Audacity... good to know it recognizes the splits :) But saving the files as straight WAVs shouldn't result in any quality loss, or does it? EDIT Filesize in the properties: 191,630,908 Bytes So yeah, 187,139 kB or 182,75...  [Read More]

Yeah, but in this case the "extracted as-is" version is a single 137 minute long file, with the tracks in random order. Splitting it up into the appropriate tracks doesn't require a re-transcode (or you'll transcode them to FLAC). Edit:...  [Read More]

They can't be the "master tracks", as those wouldn't be compressed ;-) I wonder though if Benny could write an automated tool to split the big file, giving the snippets the correct track names (through a text file which contains timings an...  [Read More]

Jesse Harlin told me that while it's not the worldwide iTunes release he was was hoping for, he's still happy that it's released at all. So I guess a CD was never in the cards anyway. But I've gotta say, the tracks do sound pretty clear to me....  [Read More]

I didn't see a way to actually check the original file's bitrate... once converted (to WAV) it's of course uncompressed. But doing the math: 137 minutes of music = 190 MB 8220 seconds = 1556480 kb 1 second = 189,35 kb So the bitrate should be arou...  [Read More]

Oh, I see... yeah, AWS... like 190 MB I'l give it a try! Edit: Yay, it worked... unfortunately it's one single file now. Cutting commenced! Edit2: They're not making it easy, as the tracks aren't in the correct order in that file! Sound quality is...  [Read More]

Actually it's a DVD, so, no. "Line-in" recording isn't even necessary nowadays, as most recording programs and/or soundcards can just set "what you hear" as an audio source. Still I bet Benny will make us proud yet again :D...  [Read More]

Well, I got one 190MB file out of the "Launcher.pak" with Benny's MI Explorer, but I don't knowif it's actually the music. It's got the file extension .aws and I've got no idea what that is. It's really stupid to have the launcher be the o...  [Read More]
