Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much! Is that from Mora?

Yes from the source

Thank you so much! I was waiting for this! 😀

As someone who has listened to all the FF15 OSTs, this one is by far one of the worst they’ve put out, now I’m only about half way through it, but the quality overal’ has been poor, terrible flow of songs, bad fades, 10-20 seconds of silence at the end of some songs, many clicks/pops in tracks. Yikes.

What? It’s chronologically arranged. I do not find any issue either, aside from some tracks lasting only a minute.

Get better hearing? Literally the first track just abruptly ends… it could use a proper fade IMO, and many track are like this. Track 10 "From Mud" around 2:26-2:28~ has a clear audio pop, just another example, but whatever.

naisu!!!

WorkNoFun is right, there are "clicks" in many tracks and the spectrogram is full of lines above, if you turn up the volume you can hear a little "bzzzzz" everytime.

Track 10, the click

Track 1, bars everywhere

Thanks for helping me prove my point Laneia! I just don’t have time right now going through each of them to prove a point, I’m also not done the album…

You know it’s funny, so many people here on these forums ask for, or demand FLACs yet they don’t even hear issues like these…

Where does the issue originate? Square Enix Music? mora.jp? TSDM phoney release?

You have stopped sharing. Sorry..

Mastering mistake of the audio engineers/mixers when they were mastering the tracks, nothing else. Is not the first time that this thing happens.

The issue here is, because this release is in 96kHz, nothing is cut, so you can hear the full track as it was exported originally. In the CD the tracks are always cut at 44.1kHz, so the problem disappears, because the bars are above the 48kHz.

With Adobe Audition I think there is a tool to delete this problem, an user of this forum used it to fix the Justice League (Recording Sessions) release, and the result was incredible, but I can’t remember which one was.

Can I know the program used for analysis

Hey aerithlove, I hope you don’t take my nagging/complaining a thing "against you" personally, it’s just me being picky and it’s 100% towards Square Enix or whoever produced the product for retail, and not towards you the uploader, which you have no control over the quality of the product.

Lots of people are thankful for your uploads already and some don’t even notice the issues apparently, so I wouldn’t necessarily take them down. Also as Laneia said, this is most likely 99% a Mastering issue and your copy will have the same problems, like the audio pop from above.

EDIT:

Can I know the program used for analysis

Looks like Ocenaudio, or maybe Audacity (with a custom skin).

Adobe Audition, and clicking the spectral frequency panel.

And as WorkNoFun said, this is not your fault, it’s a problem from the Square Enix studios where they mastered and mixed the album. The issue is present in the track itself, not the rip.

if its a SE problem, may as well put the rip back up until it’s solved, if ever, on their end.

Something similar happened with Out of the Labyrinth from the Before the Fall soundtrack and SE never fixed it (it was a random and rather noticeable hiss/crackle during the vocal bits), so I’m not holding out much hope for them to do that, at least. That being said, I agree, you could put the upload back up since it’s not a problem with the rip itself.

I’m not an audiophile yet I get mind boner for the hi-res. Guess it’s silly lol

The issue is present in the track itself, not the rip. I waited so long for my favorite 4.5 track and it’s a shoddy release hahaha dam

The worst is when there are imperfections in your favorite songs, I really like Track 16. Gates of Paradise – The Garden of Ru’Hmet, definitely a highlight for me, but damn, I can’t unhear that little crackle that happens at 0:40-0:42~ (sorry for ruining this for you guys lol).

Also this song makes me want to play Secret of Evermore!

I found the thread: Thread 226570

I don’t know how to use the software Izotope RX6, so maybe Kingman can bring light. I’ll send him a PM.

So is this still the messed up release or did Aerith upload the Blu-ray files?

If you really want to get this particular track, you’ll be happy to know it’s originally (and is unchanged here) from Final Fantasy XI, so look for a FLAC version of that soundtrack to get a possibly cleaner version. That being said, several tracks here are misattributed to Soken despite being from FF IX and FF XII. That’s nothing on the uploader and all to do with SE not doing a good job tagging their stuff. Even the official digital stores state the same tracks as his works when they’re absolutely not.

Oh that’d be fantastic if they can pull it off. I wonder if they’d be willing to go back and fix Out of the Labyrinth too.

Here’s the tutorial he sent me, we have to use the "de_click" option: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ohe4DZl_3Uc

He told me that we need to adjust sensitivity or change the algorithm to periodic click/random clicks, trying those options until the result is satisfactory in some way.

Thank you Kingman.

Thanks.

Thank you a lot 🙂

Any news on the Blu-ray files?

Mora Ver – 12G elimination

The problem of music ending suddenly is mostly solved.
But some of the noise in the music scene is a production phase, so it’s not possible to solve it.

Thanks for the upload 🙂

Just asking because I’m not certain…

Did Square Enix fix any of the issues present in the digital Mora release on the BR disc? And is your BR rip modified or cleaned up in any way? Thanks for release!

Thank you so much for this!

Link is down it seems.

Link replacement completed.

This will prove a worthy addition; however, I am curious as to just how MEGA’s download quotas are configured….

Thank you for the upload, aerithlove!
