R&C1 Stereo Music - Novalis

[@CrystalFissure]

I wish the entire soundtrack could be uploaded in stereo; it's absolutely phenomenal. The fact they couldn't even get it in stereo for the PS3 remaster is irritating.

[@KBABZ]

It is, it's a shame that they're abjectly ports and not remasters, otherwise they would have done that. Here's hoping for the Crash Remasters, though!

[@CrystalFissure]

KBABZ True yeah, a port is less of a change than a remaster, although a PS3 game being in mono for the music is so behind on the times; surely David has completed files that they could have used. Josh Mancell also told one of my friends that he's not working on the Crash soundtrack, by the way. Very disappointing.

[@KBABZ]

That sucks, do they even care about it over there?? Also, bet you didn't notice that R&C1-HD also didn't have DualShock just like the original!

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Sony can often be incompetent and greedy.

[@KBABZ]

There are many game soundtracks that I've wanted to have that aren't related to Sony.

[@josephjulianmuscat9692]

I was about to comment asking where the difference was noticable, and then the beat dropped and shivers ran down my spine Gosh giggedy this music is amazing

[@caveguy22]

There's like a little organ on the right that i've never heard before ;_; omggg. Thank you for this :)

[@inika3]

WOW this sounds great. I do hope the rest of the soundtrack in stereo gets released some day

[@Kernowparadise]

So you're saying that the Beta had stereo music before they converted it down to mono for the retail release..? This is revolutionary.

[@Saull8002]

Im vibin dude

[@RayLuvsCats64]

bro same, this is an absolute banger

[@sebastiannielsen9740]

God i love this level, i always loved killing the enemies in this level! Ahh so satisfying! The buildings on fire, the enemies, rivers and grasslands just give this level so much atmosphere!

[@kubak5463]

Been waiting for this to happen for a loooong time... Did I already mention you're a hero KBABZ?

[@xseiiyax]

H3LL Y34H ! Always in 2024. Merci D. Bergeaud

Recuerdos de mi infancia 😔😭

[@ddddaffy]

They still changed the released version since the end of the spundtrack doesn't really feel the same as I remember, but it's still awesome

[@VenomRaven]

I appreciate you doing this.

[@ethosaur]

Thanks, this is great!

[@ethosaur]

Still good

[@Sanker1]

What a good game

HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY TO RATCHET AND CLANK!!!! #RAC20TH

Hello, I run a project attempting to preserve game OSTs. I was wondering how you got the sources for these things. I went to his website, and I find no download links. And for the ones you say you got off the demo disc, what program was used to rip the audio from them?

[@aIexemre]

no replies for you in a year feelsbadman

[@shoozleshooze4846]

Late reply, but apparently these song rips were from a beta version of the game.

[@videogamingfreak13]

David Bergeaud also used to host a few stereo tracks on his website. You can still find them on his soundcloud and probably through the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine though they were hosted as .swf files so they may be a bit of a pain to get playing in a modern browser.

[@vu9977t]

If Insomniac were to make a faithful remake of the original game, they should use the stereo versions of the songs. Or, make a remastered version of them that still has the same vibes.

[@ChickenMcnugg0]

I really hope someday someone makes an iso patch or a mod for the game. Or better yet maybe the developers at OpenGOAL could port ratchet onto PC one day with this remastered soundtrack in mind along with Upscaling and more mod compatibility.

[@twangy_juice8126]

I've been trying to learn how to mod the Ratchet & Clank games, mainly to fix the Greatest Hits Korean Ratchet noises issue in 2, but I've had no luck. If I were able to learn, I'd love to do a stereo mod for R&C 1 as well but idk what programs to use to modify the files on disc

[@Virtual2005]

I would play this in New york

[@Geck_Gxng]

gas

[@CripplingMemeAddict]

You can get more tracks from his soundcloud

[@literatemax]

David's?

[@CripplingMemeAddict]

@@literatemax Yes

[@antipsychotic451]

I can't find any R&C songs on his soundcloud. Can you post a link?

[@MickehPuppeh]

Why did they even knock it down to mono? What's the point? This is better!

[@marlonhaigh1401]

To preserve space on the disc.

[@Thelango99]

@@marlonhaigh1401 They had plenty more storage on the DVD though...

[@galactica_2]

Ratchet and clank 2 and 3 were bigger than 1(at least for the PS3 hd versions) and had stereo, so I'm not sure why they cut it

[@VenomRaven]

Just a guess but I wonder if someone thought the stereo mixes wouldn't come across well on TV speakers. Its easy to hear stereo elements on headphones, but most TV speakers at the time were pretty lousy. Im imagining it was done retroactively because it was clearly not the artist's intent.

[@pacificgull7374]

Probably some sorta "hey dude you're using really expensive equipment to produce and demo your tracks, your average 2001 CRT ain't gonna have stereo at all so just make it mono" oversight by a dev or publisher or combination of the two

PSA: Musket Only?
