How I made the SH2 Complete
Soundtrack:
The Silent Hill 2 Complete Soundtrack was pretty easy. I record the music
in-game through the PS2's high quality Optical Light sound output to a digital
mixer. I record them all into WAVS at the highest possible quality. I record
each individual "variation" by pausing the game and waiting 5 minutes.
A certain
area can have up to 11 "variations" in the music, so I
record each into 11 separate 5 minute files, then after all the recording
is done, I take each file and mix them together using Cool Edit Pro 2 to master
the track perfectly. Mastering the album as a whole, making the music seem
seamless (no breaks or pause between tracks) is
a bit
hard (I usually do this
at the end of all the recording and mastering). Note: I do not play the game
while recording this soundtrack because the sound effects can be turned down,
but not turned off, so it ruins the quality of the soundtrack, and I do not
think it is acceptable when other people recording their "own" complete soundtracks have the sound effects of them running and smashing demon dogs
in the face with axes; it just shows laziness. There are many songs, in the
SH2 soundtrack that are only active against a certain door, or in a certain
hidden area, so scouting out those spots where the music would change was
kind of hard. I believe that my Complete Soundtracks are the best, and I stand
by that. Not only have I put countless hours upon hours into it, but I also
used some expertise of mine to edit and master each "variation"
individually (which is really hard work and gets very sickening). But I love
doing it. Thanks for caring.
Song "variations" altogether recorded to make this soundtrack?
There were a little over 120 variations which were edited into the 30 tracks available. That makes 4 different song variations per track on average.
