Ys Special Edition - 2001 -> 2016 version plans.

[the haze]

OK, the link worked on my laptop.

Yeah, at first I was like...this is the original version (which is a great track, of course).

Clearly I need to start the track with something totally new and different before playing out the same old track...  :-"

I just spent a big chunk of my weekend gathering and installing audio editing apps. 

Now time to watch some Youtube videos on how to use, some of the yet to be learned features of said apps.... 

Oh, hey you guys... while you wait, why not listen to my 30min cassette tape? This is a much better representation of my DJ/ music ability.  Side A is by me, several tracks and some samples mixed in, but only 30min! 

Cassette Tape Recorded at Electrohaze Studios. Saga, Japan!

Heh, good ol' Bob Ross.

Heh, good ol' Bob Ross.

Yes!  Bob Ross works well with downtempo music!  But, I will not feature Bob Ross in Ys Special Edition 2016. lol.

What can I say, I am feeling extra nerdy these days. 
Which means adult ADD web development.
With 2001 web development skills. 

Random projects, such as in this Ys Special Edition...
I have now collected ALL Ys remixes ever officially created. 99% are lossless audio.
Now, I don't know what to do with it. 

I spent a few hours playing around cutting up "The Field" in Mashup 2.5. Having some moderate success... but I am still not happy with the results... Need filters, or a new background track. Something other than the same remix...

Doing a DJ set is one thing, remixing a track is totally different.... as I am learning now.
As you can see by this image, it's unfinished...

Who wants to listen to a new remix test?

I dug a little deeper into the software..
Now it seems my computer is too slow for all the layers of audio I am adding...   
I want a new computer. 

A lot of work yet to do, in order smooth things out and extend the track. I wasn't planning on going the route I did, but this is what I ended up with for a first attempt. 

Much more has been done than the previous sample of the "Palace" which was just me clipping two tracks together. 

Download and have proper listen, tell me what you think... 

Link will be available for a unspecified period of time.

I really like this project and I'm happy it's getting a revival. I had not seen it before and I'm looking forward to playing the game again with an all new arranged soundtrack. We've decided to do a similar process of providing an optional patch for Ys Celceta PC (originally in Chinese) which would offer alternate soundtracks and possibly include additional Ys IV related music queues since there were not too many tracks in the game and a lot of repeats. Also, there is TONS of Ys IV music spanning 4 different versions of the game, SFC, DUO, PS2, VITA.

Just to clarify since I don't think there is much news about it elsewhere on the net other than our forum, but there is an English translation project for the game in the works, but we preferred to try and see if we can insert a brand new translation instead of the XSEED version if we can find a willing Chinese to English translator. The entire game is pretty much already hacked, a debug mode has been found, and we're currently working on a 60 FPS tweak as well. It'll be without a doubt the definitive version of Ys IV Celceta by far, much nicer than the Vita version.

Wow, I don't remember that booklet/back insert!

I'm not sure if I have that...I think I have only the disc.

Excellent!  I wonder how many are out there?

I didn't keep track of how many I made, also... the files are on the site for anyone who who wants to make a new one.

Any thoughts on the sample? Love / Hate it?

Maybe I'll work on it tonight!

[_joshuaTurbo]

We should work with Turbo Reproductions or the Turbob Xpress group to get these out there!

Wow this is great stuff. Ys soundtracks are my favourites. I can't believe I didn't notice this before.

The track sounds good so far. Something seems off a little but I can't put my finger on it.
Definitely off to a very good start though.

Hadn't read this thread until just now.

I can't comment on how well the music fits with Ys, but it sounds well done, and I like it.

However, it immediately made me think of the LadyHawke soundtrack (

).

I totally love Alan Parsons, and I totally love the LadyHawke movie.

Still not sure that I think that the two of them really go together that well, though.

But ... very, very, very 1980s!

I agree for sure, something does sound a bit "off" it is just a test run after all!   Glad you had a listen! Hopefully, I'll get some more time to work on this soon!   Work has been super crazy, and now it's finally slowing down... I can work on this again!

Want new laptop, this is slow.......
