The MBACPC Custom Music Topic

[Ken_Deep]

Are you running off Vista? I do know that Vista sometimes files melty's 10.p into it's cache, and runs it from there. If thats whats going on with your computer, you'll need to find that file and delete it. That way, MB will get it's 10.p info from the root folder it runs out of

Nope, no more Vista. Got a new PC and it runs with XP.

[abitofBaileys]

I told you, Ken but you didn't believe me. It's a damn complicated thing to go on with.

[Ken_Deep]

I told you, Ken but you didn't believe me. It's a damn complicated thing to go on with.

The thing itself isn't that complicated, it's just damn buggy. These are things where I am helpless. if it wouldn't play, i would understand, but it still plays the original music. Kind of a difference, eh?

[abitofBaileys]

I was rather reffering to this:

And I hate the file size limitation, it ruins everything as much as the loop thing.

But anyway, good luck.

Sup. I was tired of the Melty Blood soundtrack so I decided to change it for my own pleasure, but maybe some you guys may like so I decided to release it. Most of the music I used for this are stolen from random video game soundtracks from artist like Falcom Sound Team, Motoi sakuraba, Tenpei Sato, Yasunori Mitsuda, etc. There are a couple of songs that are remixes of video game tracks and very very few that are not from Video game Soundtracks at all. Alright then, here's the song list:

10 00002  Sion Stage - SSE Battle [SSB X Sound Team]
10 00003  Akiha Stage - Quiet Moments [Yukihiro Jindo(a member of Falcom Sound Team)]
10 00004  V.Akiha Stage - Tow-color Necklace [Tenpei Sato]
10 00006  KohaHisu Stage - Another Marbule [Yasunori Mitsuda]
10 00007  V.Sion Stage - Snare of Darkness [Yukihiro Jindo]
10 00008  Warakia Stage - Frightened Eyes [Motoi Sakuraba]
10 00009  Chaos Stage - Golden Sun Battle [Motoi Sakuraba]
10 00010  Kohaku Stage - Dragon's Eye [Tenpei Sato]
10 00011  Arc Stage - KAERU ~ Kaeru's Theme [PHOENIX Project]
10 00012  Warc Stage - GENESIS BEYOND THE BEGINNING [Falcom Sound Team jdk]
10 00013  Ren Stage - Woody Chips [Tenpei Sato]
10 00014  Nanaya Stage - The Dead Sea ~ Tower of Geddon [Yasunori Mitsuda]
10 00015  Aoko Stage - Cradle March [Tenpei Sato]
10 00016  White Len Stage - Street of December [Tenpei Sato]
10 00017  Shiki Stage - ’T‚µ•¨(this song translates to "sagashimono" i think) [Onoken]
10 00018  Ciel Stage - Chop!! [Yukihiro Jindo]
10 00019  Mech Hisui Stage - Battle ~ Battle 1 [PHOENIX Project]
10 00020  Neko Arc Stage - Luna Clock [WAVE]
10 00021  Miyako Stage - Fire Wire [Hiroki Kikuta]
10 00022  Hisui Stage - Rock'n Rocks [Tenpei Sato]
10 00023  Kouma Stage - The Strongest Foe [Yukihiro Jindo]
10 00024  Satsuki Stage - Skip 2 the... [Teranoid & MC Natsack]
10 00025  New Stage 1 (Neon Street) - PRELUDE TO THE OMEN [Yukihiro Jindo]
10 00026  New Stage 2 (Alternate version of Arc/Chaos Stage) - Pulsing Toward Ruin [Yukihiro Jindo]
10 00027  New Stage 3 (Alternate version of Kouma Stage) - Wisdom [Onoken]
10 00028  Neco Chaos Stage - Drazil's Anger [Tenpei Sato]
10 00039  Ending (Good characters) - Wanderers from Ys [Yukihiro Jindo]
10 00040  Ending (Evil Characters) - The Theme of Chester [Yukihiro Jindo]
10 00043  Fight End - For the Glancing Smile [Tenpei Sato]
10 00044  Character Select - Wanderers from Ys [Yukihiro Jindo]

Note 1: The song on Satsuki's stage "Battlefield" is actually a joke song, and an inside joke between me and my friends. I would of changed it when i decided to release it but i got lazy so oops. Maybe in the next 100 years I might consider actually put a serious song there .

Note 2: I don't really have the greatest loops either . Then when I did try to seriously fix them... I got lazy oops!

And here's the link:http://www.sendspace.com/file/sjslpg

Hope you enjoy the music!

STOP WHATEVER SHITTY NON-PERFECTLY LOOPING OST YOU WERE ABOUT TO MAKE AND LOOK HERE. This loop index data I used to make the Melty Gear XX mix (where in the song the game will begin the loop, for those of you who are OST illiterate). Most of it as close to the actual value as possible (within 1/10th of a second), but because this was all measured by myself, there is plenty of room for error and I might have created a loop without even knowing exactly where it started due to the nature of music. I will update this when I upgrade my own mix probably (read: the day I mysteriously find a clips of the GG announcer's voice or someone gives it to me); any questions/errors just give me a shout-out.

10 00002  Sion Stage -  ~ 5.31 seconds in loop index
10 00003  Akiha Stage -   0:00, but notably, it doesnt' loop properly either way Maybe around .50 seconds...
10 00004  V.Akiha Stage - ~ 5.25 seconds
10 00006  Front of Tohno Mansion KohaHisui - 0:00 also doesn't loop properly either, around .15 seconds
10 00007  V.Sion Stage -  0.00
10 00008  Warakia Stage -  ~ 6 seconds
10 00009  Chaos Stage -  ~ .85 seconds
10 00010  Kohaku Stage -  0:00
10 00011  Arc Stage - ~ 5.15 seconds
10 00012  Warc Stage - ~Not sure, I did this one completely by ear >_> ended up pretty mediocre loop wise
10 00013  Ren Stage -  .87 seconds
10 00014  Nanaya Stage -   ~ 4.2 secondsth
10 00015  Aoko Stage -  0:00
10 00016  White Len Stage - 4.8650258 +
10 00017  Shiki Stage - 1.4~1.95
10 00018  Ciel Stage -  ~10ish seconds
10 00019  Mech Hisui Stage -  ~ 8.0ish seconds
10 00020  Neko Arc Stage -  ~ 18.5 seconds
10 00021  Miyako Stage - ~LOST
10 00022  Hisui Stage - ~LOST
10 00023  Kouma Stage -  ~5 seconds
10 00024  Satsuki Stage - 6.85~seconds
10 00025  New Stage 1 (Neon Street) -  10.21655
10 00026  New Stage 2 (Alternate version of Arc/Chaos Stage) - 10.5912 seconds
10 00027  New Stage 3 (alternate version of Kouma Stage) -4.480 seconds
10 00028  Neco Chaos Stage - Same as Neco Arc Stage
10 00042  Fight Intro - VS n/a, but if you get static at the end, try adding some white space at the start of the song.

[ObiWanBaloney]

Niiiiiiiice.

It's something I should've put up months ago when I made my mix but I forgot to record all (if any) of the loop indices

[abitofBaileys]

I just made samples of the tracks and mark the loop start points with a Bing-sound to make it easier for you guys to do perfect loops. All you have to handle is the Bitrate and filesize then. Hope, it's helpful.

http://www.meltyblood.de/stuff-fu/Loop%20marks.rar

Usage: Open sample in Audacity and you'll see an empty track with one bing. Where the bing starts, the loop starts and ends with the end of the track. The space before the bing is actually for intro stuff and is just used once when the music starts in the stage.

[ElderGOD]

Great stuff, today I'll add all these things into the first post so people won't need to dig to find tools to help their mixes better. Also I need to put Shin's mixes in the first post, ugh I'm behind

[liger]

the day I mysteriously find a clips of the GG announcer's voice or someone gives it to me

Here's what I got from ripping sounds from MUGEN stuff.

http://www.mediafire.com/?3ysmo0rm9jh

I also ripped the select sound clips in case you might be able to use them. :3


Also, Xie, you did an awesome job with your OST. I was really impressed. Here's a quick video I made:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E4PzHHh6AqM

The only thing I found off was that the VS screen music cuts off a little abruptly, it'd be cool if it faded out a little more. Also, just out of curiosity, will you put tracks for the stages you didn't? I only recall that the stage for Nero Chao Black Neco G666 has its original music.


Just a point of curiousity, I wonder if this has happened to anyone else:
I downloaded the extractor software. And then I wanted to delete it. I closed the program and clicked delete. I managed to delete everything except the ExtractorExt.dll file. It just wouldn't go away, even after restarting my computer. I was only able to delete it after opening up task manager and terminating program processes. It's not a problem because I was able to delete it, but I was curious if this has happened to anyone else?






Anyway, for those who might care, regarding the sound clips:
- All announcer sounds, except for destroyed clip, taken from Guilty Gear XX life bar made by Minstral
- Destroyed clip taken from Johnny made by Muteki
- Select sounds taken from Guilty Gear XX screen pack made by Minstral

[V-Kattou]

Tried to make my own soundtrack yesterday, but the song doesn't play to end before it loops. How on earth do I fix this?

[liger]

If the file you added is longer than the file you replaced, it will loop at the point which the original file ended, I believe. =/

[Sp00ky]

^ what he said. Unfortunately this is a really proprietary solution and it takes a lot of unnecessary effort to get working absolutely perfect, involving doing things like editing your songs to keep only the most important sections and cutting file sizes down.

[V-Kattou]

Bloody--

Oh well, it'll work out somehow. Do someone have the exact lenght of every song for reference then? (If you do not, don't bother making it, I can always do it myself)

[liger]

Yeah, it sucks. x_X

As for length of song, I don't think anyone has that data off hand, but you can check (somewhat) easily by just extracting track you want to see the length of and check its properties. I downloaded the Core Media Player for convenience of playing .ogg files.

Also, XieXie posted this a few posts earlier:

Notice this. Those are templates in length and loop points.

[V-Kattou]

Ohoo, didn't notice that it also included track lenght 

[abitofBaileys]

Those are just the tracks from MB, overwritten with emptiness and the bing sound. Original size.

[Raoh Punches Faces]

can someone make a cowboy bebop one for me ? im to lazy to make it myself ;3

[liger]

Just a quick discovery from me. I mentioned a little bit ago that I had trouble deleting the ExtractorExt.dll file. Well, I downloaded extractor again with the intent on attempting to make an OST using all Melty Blood remixes, but quickly found out that not all the songs have been remixed yet, such as Satsuki's or Kohaku's stage music. So I went to delete extractor again and lo and behold, the dll wouldn't delete again because something was using it.

Long story short, I was able to delete the file by booting up my computer in command prompt safe mode and then used the del command to delete the file.

Hopefully none of you guys have had this problem. But in case you do in the future, here's a possible solution. =)

[ElderGOD]

So basically, I've been hella slacking. I ended up completing two more mixes that a couple members had asked me to work on for them, and at the same time I've been working on my own. I added the tools to the first page, if theres anything somebody would like to see in there just let me know. I've gotta get home to put the mixes up, and at the same time I'll see if I have any of the older mixes so I can re-upload them. I'll add mirrors for each mix, so that if one goes down you'll have two more to try out.

I've also been asking for suggestions to help people with downloading custom mixes, and they said they'd like to get a preview of the mix in action; without actually downloading it. So I've started grabbing mixes and uploading vids of random replays at work with respected mix. If any of you would like the same treatment done to your mix, just let me know and I'll get to it when I can. I'm looking at 10 vids per mix, so if you give me your 10 stages I'll give you your 10 vids. So far I've got:

S-Shinobi "Shinobi Mix" - http://youtube.com/view_play_list?p=94D57D45BE4D9436
Hyperhal " Mix" - http://youtube.com/view_play_list?p=AF8A5EE83C9BEC67

Anybody have a clue where we can get a reliable server for uploading these mixes?

[ElderGOD]

Theres one more thing I forgot to say thats really important and relevant to anyone making their own mixes:

When you downsample a song, Audacity adds a little bit of silence at the end. The further you downsample it, the more silence gets added on. So when you downsample a song, be sure to open it again and remove the silence. This way your songs'll loop properly and you won't be stuck figuring out wtf happened and what went wrong. Make sure you save it as the same samplerate too, or you'll be back to square one

If anyone is interested in knowing the next mixes I'm putting up, it'll be Kayin's Touhou mix, and Mizuki's HnK mix. I'm also revising my Mix by replacing songs I didn't like and fixing loop problems with other stages. These should be up tomorrow, but I hold no promises!
