Demon's Crest - finished

Nice to see you back
Guess everything is settles, only the 2 pcm sets needs to be done now

R they missing from my set or from the orhers?
We could easily use my ripped midis to add some different instruments to make it sound like what you want..

As far I know your theme set is finished, complete and perfect.
We found 14 Benoit Adam themes:

and 4 other remasters:
https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgJQ3nOIZ1n9jhSNZOz7lxLSquc5

for the second set. The missing ones will be substituted with those from your set to make a 2nd "hybrid set".
I do not think your midis need further remastering, they sound perfect as they are

I only hope dani has the time and motivation to pcm both sets (yours+hybrid)

Hello.

I'm taking a look over the messages right now.

Unfortunately, I have no practice with the tools that make the trim / loop / normalization / fade automatically, like the one developed by qwertymodo. In the set's that I made, I work one by one and listen to the results before rendering. Since I did not work with this tool, I opened each wav, searched manually for the indicated trim points, normalized according to the pack I made before and re-rendered it.

I updated the information in the worksheet;
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tGH90ReoVmh01OWZ38X086QZdB7RWTfPDBqly-XE9Hg/edit#gid=0

I did not perform a full test with all the loops and all the volumes, but I think I could have lowered the volume of the songs in the levels.

In the following post, I will put the link to download. Then you can inform me if it is necessary to make some correction. (I will work with the hybrid pack later).

Oh wow, a wish came true
Thanks a lot!

As for the hybrid you can simply take the pcm:s by Relikk:

I made a PCM set from that Benoit Adam 2015 Remix if anyone wants to use that for the time being, or if anyone wants to do some testing. Just be aware that there's not enough tracks to cover the entire hack (14 PCM's available out of 30 total).

And now if you'll excuse me, I have a headache from listening to organs all day.

I do not know if they are compatible with your sound level, but I assume it... it will save you a lot of work if they are. If not, here are the wav files:

Then you only need to pcm those 4 additional tracks:

copy/paste the missing ones from Alex... and we are done

Nice.


I made some progress in the Hybrid pack, but got some issues in the test;

The 62.wav from Benoit Adam is incorrect.
There's a part of the "Memorial of the Fallen One" in 43.wav that is missing. The looping point returns before reach the voice's part, from 2:11 (Wich I think it's so amazing to let it aside) . I just listened the Benoit's version again and I think it's possible to get it right. (I'll try later).

Well, I'll not subit a link now because I'll need to fix this soon.

Test:

Should be 32, then.

I'll fix that now.

There's a fixed 43. I remember doing that the first time and thinking the loop would sound odd after the voice part, bringing back in such a loud beginning part in comparison.

I extended the part at the end by one bar as it fades out on Benoit's file. The loop point is in the title.

Great. TY

The spreadsheet was correct. 62 is only the prelude. Benoit has no version for it. Yours 62.wav was actually 32. So, now, we retrieve 62 from ArcadeTV.

43 is perfect now.

I'm uploading the first version of the pack for analysis.

We are done?!?!?!
Thanks a lot, dani and of course Alex and Relikk!!!

19 isn't set to loop. It just cuts off when it's supposed to loop.

There's a little bit of silence on the end of 35 that needs to be trimmed, also. The loop is a little off.

Oh Dani informed me:

So I think here's an old (looping) pcm at start.

Relikk, which sets are affected (only ArcadeTV or also hybrid) with 19 and 35?
I hope dani can fix soon...

Edit:
I think 35 is not supposed to loop according to the doc by dani. I compare and check which tracks mismatch.

Ok according to dani's doc and my code these themes mismatch in terms of looping:
hex dec doc code
23   35   n   y The Hell of Civil War (Ending 01)
25   37   n   y The Throne Refused (Ending 03 & 04)
2b   43   n   y Memorial of the Fallen Ones (Cast Referral)
70   112 n   y Headbutting Game (Headbutting Game)

These 4 tracks are in the code to loop and in the doc to not loop (that's the trouble with 35).
Can please somebody confirm that these 4 themes shall not loop? If so I set them to no in the code and reupload the patch.

Hybrid. They're both from the Benoit Adam set, and that set was created with one of the older patches. So, 19 probably doesn't loop, but the Benoit Adam track isn't long enough to cover the intro. It'll need to be extended (which is no problem, I can do that) or another track from another set will need to be used.

35 is fine, it's just that there's a problem with the loop in the finished pcm set. There's silence on the end of the file just before the loop point which shouldn't be there, it just throws the loop off a little bit.

I'll look into it tomorrow afternoon when I get home, so don't worry about it just yet.

I think 35 shall not loop, so this is the problem here.
19 shall not loop either (that's sure).

Nice, you can upload a non-loop new version for 19 so dani can simply replace it in the hybrid set, for the other 4 tracks (35,37,43,112) mismatching between loop in code and doc, I wait for dani's reply.

Conn wrote:Nice, you can upload a non-loop new version for 19 so dani can simply replace it in the hybrid set

Yeah, I'll need to time the intro to where it cuts off, and then extend it. Easy.

Well, on March 13th, somebody (anonymous) changed the info about the looping point on the spreadsheet. I almost undo the changings, because it wasn't told here, but instead, I rechecked the songs and that was correct.

Unfortunetaly, as I told, I didn't verify every looping point on those packs (so, if Relikk made a cut on 19 or 35 to work as a loop, it will not correspond the original reference). The 35 youtube link in the spreadsheet is incomplete. This track is a non-loop.

Even the Headbutting Game (112.pcm) suprises me for being a non-loop theme.

I did not bother asking to change the loop code to non-loop because in the package I tested, as the song was complete, it did not have time to loop (except in 19, where the scene continues with some noises).

I updated the 35.pcm original reference link in the spreadsheet with a full version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TBhOm5j-B4

It's a bit confusing, but to filter the info:

25   37   n   y The Throne Refused (Ending 03 & 04)
2b   43   n   y Memorial of the Fallen Ones (Cast Referral)
70   112 n   y Headbutting Game (Headbutting Game)

For these 3 themes, it doesn't matter if they loop or not, so the value stays at 03-loop in the code

Theme 35: it does not loop, but in Alex version it is long enough, but not Benoit in the hybrid version.
So I set this theme 35 to non-loop, only change in the new patch:
http://bszelda.zeldalegends.net/stuff/Con/dc_msu1.zip

@Relikk:
Means theme 35 in hybrid will have some more mute seconds at the end (you can extend and upload or just leave it...).
Theme 19 must be extended.

So ok now?

@dani:

I updated the 35.pcm original reference link in the spreadsheet with a full version:

did you also update a pcm set? If yes, which one (I try to keep track with backups...)

I hope SPC and Alex are still ok and only Hybrid needs an update...

Yeah, that's the problem with my set. They were looped tracks for an older patch version. I should have re-did them before they were submitted for use. My fault entirely.

We'll get it finished. Nearly there.

Relikk wrote:I should have re-did them before they were submitted for use. My fault entirely.

There are things we can not predict. The songs that generated the doubts are repetitive and have parts that works like a loop. It's easy to get confused. Glad you noticed that now so we can fix it.

I hope there are no other problems.

I've checked that Memorial of the Fallen Ones actually loops. The annonymous who set it as a non-loop on March, 13th in spreadsheet was wrong.

I believe that's the non-looping ones:

hex	pcm	loop	title
11	17	n	Capcom
13	19	n	Legend of Firebrand
23	35	n	The Hell of Civil War
24	36	n	The Crests Are Hidden Forever
25	37	n	The Throne Refused
2c	44	n	The End - Firebrand Victory
12?	63	n	Opening
?	112	n	Headbutting Game

ok, thanks only differences from your list where it still loops in the code are
25 37 n The Throne Refused
70 112 n Headbutting Game

Let me know whether I shall set them to non-loop as well, or will this result in problems like in theme 19? I do not want to let you rework and upload all themes if not really necessary...
