sinus Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 all the music with less compression. I don't think so. SoMI:SE had 96kbps (!!!) xWMA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrik Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Really? It didn't sound that bad when I played it. I guess 96kb/s goes further with WMA than it does with MP3. Surprising though, considering the remake was largely about fidelity (graphics and sound). Well whatever the case, they can get better. If they do a MI2 special edition and it has the same glaring issues as MI1's then I'll be very disappointed. I actually really like the MI1 special edition but some of the technical and artistic oversights are hideous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinus Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 I guess 96kb/s goes further with WMA than it does with MP3. maybe. it's the low bitrates, the codecs and - even more important - the encoders (LAME ftw) can show their advantages. ISurprising though, considering the remake was largely about fidelity (graphics and sound). That was my thought too when seeing the audio files. Well whatever the case, they can get better. Hope dies last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinus Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 Hey folks, I have a question about a certain piece of music in this game. It's called "Out". You can see and hear it when opening the 2nd CMI music bundle file with ScummRev. This short variation of the LeChuck theme seems to appear in the sixth part. I included in my release as "When will he learn?" but it never came to my ears when playing the sixth part and before - and I did several times to find it! Do you know more?

SyntheticGerbil Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Yes, I have all of those soundtracks, but they need more! So until they satisfy my fanboy desires, I stand by that they hate soundtracks and proper releases. (Even if they probably have released more soundtracks than a majority of western game companies.)

sinus Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 Made a little update thanks to Thrik's help and some other stuff I improved. If you already downloaded the big file, please use the separate update file if you want to have the new version. Just take its content and automatically replace it with the old stuff. The last three files in the "/music" folder (from "119 ...") of older date have to be erased manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk-F Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 OK guys, this is weird. You've been discussing on which soundtrack is better from those two, but I do have a third version which I believe is the best one! Please check this comparison and tell me what you think: (I didn't know where to upload, so I uploaded them all on Rapidshare, I know it may be a pain in the ass to download them all w/o a RS account, but, well...) Sinus's "Barbery coast" version: http://rapidshare.com/files/339878139/028_The_Barbery_Coast__sinus_.flac Laserschwert's "Barbery coast" version: http://rapidshare.com/files/339878744/1-18_-_The_Barbery_Coast__Laserschwert_.mp3 The "Barbery coast" version I have: http://rapidshare.com/files/339880254/13_-_Barbers_v1__Sk-F_.flac I don't know guys, I believe mine sounds way more natural, less "compressed". But let me upload another comparison, this time between sinus's and mine: Sinus's "Firing the cannon": http://rapidshare.com/files/339883859/009_Firing_the_Cannon__sinus_.flac The one I have: http://rapidshare.com/files/339882738/04_-_Cannon__Sk-F_.flac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laserschwert Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 It's the same one as mine. Mine does sound a bit different, as I've converted it to MP3. However, I do have the FLAC-files here, and they're even named like yours ("Barbers V1"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinus Posted January 25, 2010 Author Share Posted January 25, 2010 yeah, you should have mentioned you took them from WQCR's torrent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk-F Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Actually, I never said they were mine I Just didn't remember where I got them from and wanted to share the discovery with you all. Looks like the mystery is solved, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anson93 Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Neither of your torrents seem to have seeders. Is there another way i can get a hold of the Mega Monkey edition? It seems like the most extensive one out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinus Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 thanks for letting me know. i seed it myself from home and from work. seems my machine at work is off. (i'm on vacation right now) i'll send you a direct download link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackpumpkinhead Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I just wish there were versions of the intro music and the pirate song with out vocals. Then I could use them in my game. But as of now I am having to use a mix of the soundtrack and a few midi versions of some of the songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razym Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Forgot my old email. Oh well I haven't been able to grab the FLAC version of the COMI soundtrack. Any of you seeders around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinus Posted June 17, 2011 Author Share Posted June 17, 2011 Well, I'm seeding ... and currently someone from the US is downloading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razym Posted June 18, 2011 Share Posted June 18, 2011 Well, I'm seeding ... and currently someone from the US is downloading. I had no connection earlier using the latest beta of Vuze/Azureus (ಠ_ಠ), but swapping to the latest uTorrent worked () Awkward, yes, but at least I'll have it eventually in GLORIOUS FLAC Thanks sinus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulk11 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I wonder, if Michael Land alone was responsive for this masterpiece soundtrack, or if he had help by some people. I'm wondering because Monkey Island 4 sounded VERY different, much more dry, unmelodic, unemotional to the point where it sounded almost generic. So generic in fact, that the track Prothese Shop which stands out the most is a recycled tune "Firing the Canonon" from Curse. The Curse soundtrack was special, because it was melodic, energetic, atmospheric and most of all, it conveyed emotions and perfectly musically underscored every situation in the game. Every single track had a different melodical idea, while keeping a similar theme all over the whole game. For instance tracks like this It doesn't get more moody and atmospheric than this in an adventure games... Most people mention the admittedly very good opening theme, but won't go beyond that, but there is so much more great music in this game. For instance the "Goodsoup Family Hotel" track sounds kinda melancholic because there is some sad history about that particular place, which makes it much more interesting for the player. Actually all the tracks on Blood Island have a more "dark" feeling to them. The Plunder Island tracks in contrast, sound very carribean with the steel drums and reggae guitars, but still very atmospheric. It makes me wonder if Land had any help composing these tracks. He sure had some help mixing, because it is amazingly mixed, every instrument sounds great, most prominently the bassons and the steel drums which stand out a lot. It is the greatest adventure game soundtrack ever made, there I said it. Why does NO other Monkey Island game sound as good as this? And first and foremost, why is there still no official Soundtrack in better quality, to this day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah I see, too bad he stopped making Soundtracks after Curse, I guess. Apparently he made the Soundtrack to the "Tales of" Monkey Island games though, but I have yet to play those.
