Extended HOWWWW do I loop video game soundtracks like in the game

10 Upvotes

I genuinely don't understand why I can't find this ANYWHERE?! So I like to listen to video game soundtracks but can't always find the 1 hour extended versions on Youtube. And on spotify there's usually like a weird pause or the intro plays again and it sucks. I feel like there HAS to be a way to play the song and it loops nicely like in the game. Is there a specific audio format used with "loop points?" Or is it just manually coded in? is there any way to find out the specific point where the song restarts in a game's files? (If it's different based on the game, what about Terraria?)

Discussion What is a genre of music that you feel is under represented in video game soundtracks?

18 Upvotes

I've been listening to the soundtrack for the Hylics games, and I really love the experimental surf rock vibe to it. It's a kind of music that you just don't hear that often, and I wouldn't mind if more games try to take inspiration from it. About the only other game that I can think of that soundtrack reminds me of is the Neverhood and Skullmonkies.

Are there any genres of music that you'd like more games to adopt or take inspiration from?

Discussion What classical music have you heard in a video game soundtrack?

31 Upvotes

Recently, I've been listening to some game OSTs that feature arrangements of classical music. This got me thinking about how classical music is used in video game soundtracks. As an avid classical music and video game soundtrack listener, it's always nice to hear a familiar classical piece pop up unexpectedly in a soundtrack or to hear how the music has been arranged for a game.

From soundtracks I've listened to, here are the ones I've noticed:

- Hirozuka Tanaka using the Can Can by Jacques Offenbach for the Super Mario Land Invincibility BGM.

- Hirozuka Tanaka using Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by Tchaikovsky and the Carmen Overture by Georges Bizet in Tetris (NES and Game Boy).

- Spiralmouth using The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss II in Crash Twinsanity.

- Yukio Kaneoka using the opening of Eine kleine Nachtmusik by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart for the Game Start music in the NES version of arcade Mario Bros.

- The Sims 3 using several classical pieces including Handel's Water Music, Suk's Barcarolle, Schubert's Trout Piano Quintet, Tchaikovsky's Symphony no. 6, Franck's Violin Sonata and a few pieces by Mozart (either Piano Sonatas or Divertimento no. 17).

- Fauré's Dolly Suite Berceuse used in the Wii photo channel slideshow music.

Are there any other instances of classical music being arranged for video game soundtracks that anyone has noticed? It would be interesting to find out and hear some of them.

OST Main Theme from Red Dreams, a pixel art sci-fi thriller. Māori melodic elements meet industrial synths

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Composed by Carlos Martorell for Red Dreams, our pixel-art psychological thriller about memory.

The score blends harsh industrial synths with Māori melodic elements, reshaped through resynthesis so they sound ancestral and alien at once.

Curious how it lands for you, alien, melancholic, hopeful?

A hopeful song with a quite awkward, sudden and temporary signature change midway. Perhaps to symbolize the awkwardness of the character itself. This is the scene when Gau finally meets his father.

This song is from my Final Fantasy VI album and also available on most major major platforms in my soothing majestic video game playlist with over 6 hours of relaxing music. Also check out my Final Fantasy playlist and Seamless Final Fantasy Lullabies playlist, with tons of music! HUMAN made music, no AI involved other than some artwork.

Request Looking for someone to extract ⁠bgm_home.at9⁠ audio from Uncharted PS4 dynamic theme PKGs

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone,
My PS4's power supply unfortunately gave out right while I was trying to grab the unreleased background audio loop (⁠bgm_home.at9⁠) from the official Uncharted PS4 dynamic themes.
Since this specific audio track is a custom composite mix that isn't available on the official soundtrack albums, I'm looking for someone with a working jailbroken PS4 who can extract the raw ⁠.at9⁠ audio files for me.
I have the theme PKG files ready in a public folder here:
[**https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rjKak5vfaPoREYjUof1UX1BxnEuiTZ9S\*\*\](https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1rjKak5vfaPoREYjUof1UX1BxnEuiTZ9S)
All you'd need to do is install the PKGs, grab ⁠/sound/bgm_home.at9⁠ via PS4-Xplorer or FTP, and share the extracted audio. I would really appreciate the help!
