Well, at first I marvelled at the astonishing amount of fan-created material around here…then I remembered that I actually have some stuff to contribute myself.
My original internet nick is “Top Dollar”, but since somehow my account here got messed up, I created a new account for this forum. Under the name “Top Dollar”, I contributed some stuff to the “gamerip” scene. Gamerips are fan-created soundtracks of video or computer game soundtracks. These come into play when there are only incomplete official soundtracks available for the respective game or worse, none at all. Gamerippers use the original raw music data found on the game disk or do an analogue line-in recording while playing the game.
Unfortunately, nowadays, gamerips are, most of the time, merely filedumps of the music data. This results in nearly unlistenable 5 hour-long soundtracks with 453 music files where most of them are around 10 seconds long. That most games today have a dynamic sound engine (=music that adapts to events in-game), which rely on dozens of snippet files, only makes things worse. Since I think that a good gamerip should be laid out like a “real” official soundtrack, I will use the term “selfmade album” from now on.
Among my favourite projects was a preservation of the “TIE Fighter” soundtrack. This selfmade album contains mp3s of all the music featured in TIE Fighter (this also includes music from the expansion and the CD-ROM Collector’s Edition). The dynamic portions have been compiled into suites to provide a good listening experience. All files are named and tagged, and the .rar also comes with an info file, containing enhanced information about the album, and a checksum file. So without further ado: Enjoy!
SEND A NICE PM FOR THE SET.
