[@elaymm4]

Heat 1, despite having terribly low bpm for pursuits, goes hard

[@shadowmaster452]

Ironically to me that should've been heat 5, that song just screams adrenaline and fear as if something horrible was unleashed, the synth also simulates an alarm/sirens so it fits perfectly with a high level chase.

[@rokkudayo]

I really like Heat 1 and 4 but they definitely misplaced the levels. 1 could've easily been 3 and 2 been 1, no idea what they're smoking when making these.

[@shadowmaster452]

@@rokkudayo oh yeah, that switch you suggested makes way more sense than the current order. Great songs but no idea why they placed them like that, some fit better in higher heat compared to others. You know? Maybe they should've just created many variations for a single song like Most Wanted did.

The beginning of the heat 1 sound file makes it seem like we would've been able to pay off fines and such for that heat level.

[@rokkudayo]

I made up that intro by fading out some of the individual stems. I have no idea why they shipped it like that since the game never makes any reasonable use of the fact they are separated, at least not that I ever noticed, but it would've been cool if they faded some out in case you are in critical damage or something or, like you said, in case you could pay the initial fine like in 2015.

Woah nice stuff! Everytime I tried to extract the audio from frosty the app just crashed, nice to see that you managed to make it work.

[@rokkudayo]

I only used Frosty to dump the chunks containing the songs. Frosty's new audio workspace is better than the old one but right now it isn't working properly with some files, and one of these files happened to be the pursuit theme. EALayer3 was spitting just a portion of the music as the developers decided to pack all the themes into one file and the software isn't aware of that, so I looked up for the first 16 bytes of the header and split the file based on that.

[@elaymm4]

@@rokkudayo Hey, I tried extracting them myself the other day, and I was only getting drums tracks. As I know, a valid chunk of audio starts with "4800000C 16", so I managed to extract only 10 separate chunks from pursuit soundtrack file. Every file is around 15 mb, but I only get drums from here. I think those are multichannel audio files, right? If so, how can I convert them to .wav or any other appropriate format, so I can get actual tracks instead of just drum layers? ealayer3 that I have doesn't want to convert them into multichannel.

[@rokkudayo]

@@elaymm4 you gotta add an argument to ealayer3 when using it so it spits out all the parts. I think it was "-s all" but I'm not 100% sure.

A one tap if you're at half health. but I wouldn't know what would come after Heavies. Army/Military tanks? Lol.
