Sith Holocron Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 After the wonderful work recently done on "The Sith Lords" music, I was wondering if someone might be up for remastering the KOTOR1 soundtrack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Admiral Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I already have far too much stuff on my plate already, but if no one takes this up, I'll try my hand at it. Is PastramiX, the maker of the TSL music improvement, already working on one for K1? - Star Admiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrrtoken Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 No, as I unfortunately do not have KotOR 1 for the PC. If anyone is up to it, then you have my blessings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Admiral Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I've looked through the music files in K1, and I'm starting to wonder if it's even necessary to remaster it. TSL's music, even in the HQ patch, was at 22Hz, so when PastramiX remastered it to 44Hz, you could hear a difference. K1 has the music at 44Hz, but encoded at 128kbps instead of 320kbps in PastramiX's version. I doubt very much if there is a noticeable difference from 128kbps to 320kbps. - Star Admiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthParametric Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I doubt very much if there is a noticeable difference from 128kbps to 320kbps.Not for 99% of people. In any event, you can't improve the bitrate beyond the source material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sith Holocron Posted November 26, 2008 Author Share Posted November 26, 2008 Acquiring a decently mixed copy of both the closing light and dark side versions of the end titles would be a nice thing . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Admiral Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I did my very best, but I'm not sure if it's enough. Here is a sample, a remastering of the Finale and End Credits soundtrack. You can listen to the original on your HD, (57.wav), and the new version here. To be honest, I'm quite tone-deaf when it comes to music, so I'm a bad judge. Yay? Nay? - Star Admiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Admiral Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 *ahem* Made another attempt. Try this one. Remaster of the file mus_theme_bast.wav in the Streammusic folder. Before continuing, I'll like some input on my progress, or if I'm just wasting my time. - Star Admiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you use any of the official soundtracks to put your version together? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star Admiral Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Really? You like it? Well, that's a surprise. I can't hear much difference. Got to get a new pair of ears. I'll finish up with the rest of the audio and upload the package. Maybe I'll even finish off the ambient music with it as well. Basically, I used the Miles Sound Studio to decode the audio into uncompressed wav format, then adjusted the volume a bit to equalize the tracks, and lastly compressed it into MP3 encoded at 44kHz, 16bit, 320kbps. Oh, and in reference to my previous post (post #4), I made a mistake. The original KOTOR music is encoded at 22kHz, 8bit, 176kbps, one channel audio. I was referencing the wrong data when I made my post. - Star Admiral Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
