Fairlight 10 years CD
 

I´ve the Fairlight 1987-97 CD, i miss the Audio tracks.
Does anyone who has this cd complete (with the audio), can upload has mp3 to The Zone ????

Thanx in advance

hum, would be also nice for me :p

I may have this on my ftp. Am currently in the middle of unrar'ing it and will write it to a cd to check if the audio tracks are there.

It doesnt :(

grrrrrrr ;)

A grrrrrrr, followed by a winkie smilie? :suspiciou


*repeats shady looks*

Nooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:crying

No problem. Someone buy it here and then share it with everyone in the generous tradition of Fairlight. ;)

I was looking through the cd I have and there is a note about why the audio tracks are missing (basically not enough space) The music is included on the cd though. One track is in mp3 format and the others are midi files.

I will publish the details of whats actually on the cd sometime this weekend.

Ho hum....
 

Someone supply me or tell me of a freeware program to convert CD Audio into MP3 and, funnily enough, I 'think' I may just have this CD !! ;)

I need a program or reccomendation for one for PC, and I will convert all the music files.

Win:
Eac - audio ectractor, great safe mode, error correction algo and a LameFrontend as well

Lame mp3 encoder for most platforms. The "--alt-preset standard" switch is a great hq Vbr MP3 setting.

Any more info needed gimme a shout.. (or pm ;)

... or you can try this one :
Free Rip Mp3

Please, do not use VBR on the music rips. Its invention was completely stupid...save a few miserable bytes and in exchange, you get swishy, phased audio as bitrates fly by haphazardly. I guess people who use VBR are only listening to their mp3's on cheap, stock PC speakers and cannot tell the difference (I can even tell it on the worst speakers). And if you just like that tinny effect, Joint Stereo is another good bet for degenerating the original signal. Yeesh!

twistin, -alt-preset standard Is transparent for me, that’s why I recommend it.

Averages around 220 for metal and 170 for acustic stuff.
Unless you set the CBR for 320 you risk getting worse sound as about 5% of the frames goes that high.

LOL in another part of this forum there is a heated discussion about folks selling ST floppys for 0.5 $ apice on the net and none reacted to the 200 kr asking price for the CD.

From the cd.....
 

Since theres lots of Fairlight related music, we could not fit it all on the
audio tracks of this cd.
But we will try to include all Fairlight related music in diverse formats here.
Loads of remixes for the Druid and Wizardry songs exists out there in the world.
It's obvious we can't include them all as Audio-CD-tracks.
But we will try to include all of them here.
The DAT-dir includes a lot of other SID-tunes aswell.
NOTE...SID is the audio chip on c64, on the c64 there is lots of different trackers.
DAT is the dataformat of SID music, standard format for SID-players.


-- I will make the cd available on my ftp so you can get the individual files on it. It will be under the amiga directory.

Re: From the cd.....
 

But ... the origianl CD from Fairlight has all these songs (see above the back cover).

Who converted it to a CD Image only made a copy from the Data track (the original its a mix-mode CD), or just forgot to put the music in mp3 format on this CD.

Some ppl ask me about it, well, its in the Zone now ...

Yep I see the tracks listed there. So would Galahad know about this then :confused

...
 

On a proper copy of the Fairlight Glory CD, all those tracks are available on the CD. I will convert them today, and up them either in the Zone or on my webspace for all to grab.
