Golden Sun Soundtrack: Status Update
I’m not going waste words: I’m re-redoing the soundtrack. Sound bad? Actually, it’s good. I realized that I’d recorded all of my previous 53 tracks WRONGLY… in short, they’re not the quality they should be. That’s always bad. I had forgot to change the sound setting on VisualBoy Advance from 22Hz to 44Hz, basically halfing the quality that I wanted. I’d been wondering why they sounded just like Cindy’s old tracks… and now I know.
So, the soundtrack is going in a different direction. I will not be re-recording every single track. Instead, thanks to a user who I will credit once I’m done in a nice “I give thanks to these kickass people” speech, I’ll be using the actual game audio files! I had originally intended to make the soundtrack this way, but couldn’t figure out how to convert them into any real audio format. Now I can convert them to WAV, which is very nice. And they sound great. So, I sacraficed complete pride in myself for quality, because that’s what I care about most - it doesn’t matter if it was recorded by me (well, yes to a point), but it does matter if the end user gets something that’s of great quality, and in order to do that, I’m using the game rips, even if it makes my job a helluva lot easier.
It also means that the soundtrack will be done… today! So, be patient as I wrap things up in the next few hours!

Hi Jason, I am not very good at some web navigation as I use a screen reader and am almost blind, I live in Australia, and I tried to download some of your Maple Story music, but the last link in the ‘unknown’ music lists were not working, I was hoping you might send me these as attachments to my email address. I have an LJ dedicated to Maple Story fanfiction, and I wish to allow the music bgm to inspire and I have three chapters of my story, Alana Sky and the QQuest for Ellinia done, but the ‘New Leaf City’ theme on the train on the way back to K city, is eluding me. My lady plays the game but there are songs new and I would dealy love to acquire these, I have most, but the newer ones I would love to be on your lists for updates if you have these.
So, I hope you will visit, I am living in Australia and we love the music and I am grateful to you for all your fabulous efforts thus far with that. I am a BETA editor for people on Aria’s Ink, a Anime-Sailor Moon site, dot moon I hang out at, multi fandom and I co-mod a series of over a dozen circlet communities on LJ based on of course, Maple Story, also, Stargate and its spin-offs, and Anime and other things, so please feel free to get in touch, I run under the pen-name Loki on Aria’s Ink and dot moon,
Hope you can help with the MS files
Loki
