[FAQ] Audioripping / Reconstruction

Q: Is there a way to download /all/ your tracks from your YT Channel in a simple way ?
A: Yes, there is. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/1j4305m1k5bkl/AudioRips
(I suggest putting them into "JDownloader 2", which is a free program to realize bulk downloads.
Or "Ponydroid" on Android)
(Oh and here is my soundcloud: soundcloud.com/ryedai)
(WIPs@ www.mediafire.com/folder/hzv1knnj8vwgx/%5BWIP%5D )

Q: Youtube is offline ..
A: A: https://alcea-wisteria.de/ytarchive/ or https://ry3yr.github.io/ytarchive.html is what I can offer
Searching "ryedai1" or "diarykeeper" on waybackarchive might also help


Q: Did any of the shows you worked on actually have a release meanwhile ?
A:
Yes !
I usually put the real names as first on shows that had a real release:
• Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne: ry3yr.github.io/OSTR/Unresoundtracker/kkjofficial.html ( https://vgmdb.net/album/126243 )
• Kaitou Joker: https://vgmdb.net/album/85117
• HoshiNoSamidare(partial via composer ytchannel: https://ry3yr.github.io/hnstrksofficial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frNKcZcplu4&t=2600shttps://www.mediafire.com/folder/lws5x04bej9ad/HoshiNoSamidare https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=P-chY3pxbYs
• YGOS0 / TOEI Movie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a_rOyeFsfE&list=PLLXss1cYfxA0fgknT11XDwIkLhC7J5mYT&index=1
I also add "listenable" demopages to UnreSoundtracker if the release exists: ry3yr.github.io/unresoundtracker

[US Releases]:
•MegamanStarforce:
https://www.thorlaewe.com/music

Q: Help! YT is down.
\ I'm from the future and want to watch your videos/listen to your Musicreconstructions. Can I ?
A: If "ry3yr.github.io/unresoundtracker" is down this is a final stand (If my website is still up that also counts ;)   )
https://archive.org/search?query=diarykeeper (https://archive.org/details/@ryedai1)
- archive.org/details/diarykeeper-yt-channel-backup

Q: Did you consider switching away from Youtube to a more open source / decentralized alternative ?
A: Yes.
But sadly peertube etc have no way to migrate the videos too, if the server were about to shutdown.
( pb.todon.de/@alcea/109655032412113888 ),
therefore I made my own alternative:
ry3yr.github.io/unresoundtracker

Q: Do you have transcriptions for song "xy" ?
A: I have some here: rebrand.ly/diarykeepertranscriptions
(https://www.mediafire.com/folder/m3wbxwq2uzrtc/00transcriptions)
Some of the notes might be off tho, beware, as these transcripts are based on my own versions of the song.

Q: May I use the music from your channel for "xyz" ?
A: Yes. You don't have to contact me, use it as you wish.
This is just a little project I do for fun.
[See:
""Hey, I’ve got a question! Would it be alright to use instrumentals that you’ve made to sing over in song covers? I wanted to try to make a true English rendition of the Japanese opening at some point, but I wanted to know if you’re alright with that first. (And I was thinking of also having Kizuna Wave covered at some point too.
Also, just wanted to say that I’m glad you’re preserving all of this music like this!"")
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NWs6dqEE72c ]

Q: Why are you doing this (ripping music from shows / animated television shows) ?
A: Because it bothers me to no end when things stay "unreleased" for no reason.
Many composers even opt to put their compositions on their webpage (Blake Neely, Hirasawa Susumu f.e.), so I find it increasingly hard to believe that any reason exists to leave things be "as is".

Q: The first song rip you put out on YT ?
A: Aside "soundsketches" - which were horrible- Guitar Theme KKJ (V1): 5.March.2018 youtu.be/cw2qylephbs
That one merly uses multitracks shifted to fit. A strange method in hindsight, but better than other ideas I had.
(Tho it should take till 01.May.2021 for me to finally understand "how" splicing works...
and that composers pretty much use however many versions and song iterations as they wish...
"Burning Sindbad V1 - was among the first properly spliced tracks that day :p)

Q: Does this song "xyz" have a 'real' name ?
A: No. None of the songs on the channel have 'real' names.
I put the placeholdernames (that oftentimes correspond to the situation the song was often played) as titles.
My syntax is: [Mood] ## - [Song corresponding title]
I don't really care what anyone wants to call em.
Feel free to name them as you wish.
(I'll still have an infinitely easier time finding the song quicker if you use my syntax,
as all my folders from the teardown are named that way...)

Q: How do you do this ? \ How do you decide "how" to reconstruct a track ?
 A: Pretty much like this one put it:
•"I use every available cue that is clear from other disturbance like car engine or water flow sound.
It differes from one track to another like this one here has about one hour of cues.
There are a bunch of tracks who I worked on till a specific point then stopped due to no suitable parts."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyKENdwH-_I
•ThunderBolt1026:
"Combine pieces without sfx"
That's right. I did make unreleased tracks by that way. This track has been often used, so I could make this. also First Turn. well, Impossible Victory has not been used much in the anime.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YTaFhvpKSgc
•@pikachussecretjukebox: It's actually scenes with only voices playing over the music that's a main contributor for getting these tracks ripped cleanly, as most of the time, surround sound (for movie BGM and short BGM) still has SFX mixed in there (mostly ambience). We can use AI to remove voices, so we can easily splice together a listenable rip if the usages of the track don't contain a lot of SFX. Whether cues/BGM are reused a lot depends on the track. Some are (like Mew Teleports, The Pokemon of the Forest, Fire Orb) while some hardly have any use (Meta Groudon Rises, a couple of M08 Regi themes, Darkrai Appears Again). It's all up to which themes the anime decides to use. While I'm thankful for all the instances we're given, not all tracks are treated equally (I'm looking at you BW Bicycle). Like you though, I'm glad many of these unreleased tracks are able to see the light of day since a soundtrack release doesn't seem likely. (And if that bums you out, be glad it isn't Pichu & Pikachu's soundtrack. Now that sadly doesn't have a chance at all of being released.) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXyxRVw16pU&lc=Ugxm5d1odkLJxD-J7nd4AaABAg
•[Is this AI Vox removal?]
@fruzi if I just removed the vocals it would be a mush of noise and rattle
@Kakerate2 How can you achieve better results than what a tool provides? looping over clean parts of the track or something?
@fruzi Yes exactly
@fruzi well, and a couple more tricks, sound mastering in some cases, and so on, and of course, do it all in wav format
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xTsB2zcXEkc


Q: How much material do you have for each song ?
A: Mostly 10 minutes max. If you remove interference and sfx the number drops.
Others are luckier:
"For the cues of this song, I didn't count the number but I had about 25 mins worth of cues for this soundtrack." https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KhjRstfhtzk

Q: Any special tips ?
A: Rintron has some:
"Using mp3 even if 320 kbps is unadvisable while editing too. I usually extract the samples to wav while making sure to keep it at sample rate of the AC3 file(48000 usually for movies/tv shows on DVD).
Editing using .wav helps because each time you edit an mp3 or rereender it it gets mud more and more.
It's as format for listening not editing I'm afraid"

•"You lose little information each encoding of the previous already encoded file."
https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/encoding-and-re-encoding-to-mp3-–-does-the-quality-degrade.9721/#post-261082

Q: How can I remove SFX from Audio ?
A: Online "DNR" from mvsep.com or https://audiodenoise.com/
Offline: IzoTopeRX8 or ISSE

Q: Why does song X miss instruments or sound off ?
A: This might be a result of "phase interference".
When frequencies of vocal, instrument or other elements overlap, and you try to remove either,
both might be damaged or become unrecognizable.
As quoted by specialists:
"Often during mixing, audio files can be damaged due to a process called phase interference." zerebrix.com/products/

Q: I'm bored, lack motivation and ambition,
but still want to muck around with music. Anything I can do ?
A: There are some... online services...
•(extend/elongate song) media.io/remix-song.html (basically adobe audition's "remix" feature)
•(""remix"")            the.wubmachine.com/ (pretty bad results imo)
Just don't expect much of em...

Q: Why do unreleased soundtracks even exist ? I don't understand.
A: Money, as always. https://anime.stackexchange.com/questions/44628/why-are-there-unreleased-soundtracks/62660#62660
https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2017-07-14/.118807
Also things suchas stipulations and laws [nda's f.e. ] might prevent official releases from composer side
(RnR's composer f.e. admitted that rightholders'd make a release difficult: https://mobile.twitter.com/shuheinaruse/status/1486933023324966913 )
- The SailorMoon Fanbase had a special case
https://sailormusic.net/guide-to-sailor-moon-music-cues/
<=> https://kaiowut99.tumblr.com/post/104660843452/to-marvelous-entertainment-release-yu-gi-oh-gx

Q: Is there really *no chance* to get an official release ?
A: Sometimes fans are vocal enough to make it happen, but it has to be on time.
"I'm still glad we got the last two cd YGO Zexal SD.
And that's purely because japanese folks b#### about unreleased music.
The power of a strong fandom, I guess." - Rintron
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw21Uw7IIUc

Q: Can't composers release tracks emselves ?
A: If not bound by copyright, yes !
F.e.:
• Blake Neely -> TV-Shows (Mentalist, TheArrow) - his website
• Hirasawa Susumu -> Anime Tracks  - website
• Joel Douek -> Anime Tracks (YGO DM Dub) -
• MannyCorallo -> Pokemon Anime -> www.mannycorallo.com/music.htm youtube.com/watch?v=KJ9R6K1k21Y&list=PLCEE4941BA26F029D&index=1

Q: Why do US American/European countries replace OSTs in their show renditions ?
A: Good question. Some theories:
https://www.quora.com/Why-did-4Kids-TV-hate-Japanese-music
https://mobile.twitter.com/Utsukushiotosuk/status/1485339020133601283

Q: Any music you are currently listening to ?
A: https://twitter.com/hashtag/CurrListeningRyedai?src=hashtag_click
OR
https://rebrand.ly/currlisteningdkpr

Q: Can I get the cues you used for the songs on your channel ?
A: Sure,
So far I've got a compendium for:
rebrand.ly/rnrtrks
rebrand.ly/kkjtrks
rebrand.ly/ygos0trks
ry3yr.github.io/kjtrks
ry3yr.github.io/ygodmdubtrks
New ones go into: rebrand.ly/ostcompendianew

Q: Help, the rebrand.ly link you offer isn't working ! :(
 \ Q: The f.ls only displays gibberish >:(
A: For all links on my channel(s) you can also replace the "rebrand.ly" with "ry3yr.github.io" or "gg.gg"
In some cases I toss link shorteners into the wayback machine, so maybe trying that might yield a result also.
Mosty lnk.shrt/xyzTRKSFIN will redirect to the mediafirefolder at the top of this FAQ anyways, so you can jist browse that one.
(If it still doesn't work, you should perhaps contact me via twitter, instagram or mail)
(Incase everything fails and I don't reply.. check the "Project" page on my website *hint hint 😉*


Q: Isn't this a pointless endeavor ? Who cares about music without vocals?
A: Depends on the viewpoint. If one sees worth in something (even a music track) then why not.
Someone might enjoy the result


Q: Do you have other socialmedia platforms than youtube ?
A: I created a twitter profile (again) as it might come in handy: @alceawisteria (DELETED: @ryedai1 )
( @Utsukushiotosuk also exists.. somehow...)

Q: Why only 2000 esque tracks ?
A: Simply because these shows are least likely to ever get a proper release nowadays.
Especially relevant for tracks that belong to 'niche' series/movies.

Q: Do you know anything about music (theory) ?
A: Partially... Unless you want to be scientific: https://waitbutwhy.com/2016/03/sound.html

Q: How do you rip tracks in general ?
A: Usually like this: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbwODi-d6K5Je60sDbAw92BpU1Qax3Lfs
There are 3 ways that I utilize (The second being the most used one on this channel):
|
1.) Bluray/DVD (with 5.1 Audio streams) extraction
       S.o.ElseSxplaining5.1Rips: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5TfRud_9sPI
---------Nendows explanation on their HxH Rips----
@Guitar B.Theme Rip:@
Glad to hear that! Though I'm not really sure whether that's possible or not, at least not until Bluray catches up to the CA Arc so I can have all samples of the OST, which probably would take around 8-10 months considering its current release pace. Only then I can see what I can do.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rR8-opzxazk
---------------------------------------------------
Various programs exist to achieve this.
In the end however you have to find out which (if any) of the streams contain *only* the music (mostly).
I used CMD tools for this, Adobe Audition 2018 onwards however also supports 5.1 audiostreams.
(An old version of Audition can be gotten as 30 day trial:
web.archive.org/web/20141030171349/http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-5-product-downloads.html
web.archive.org/web/20141030171349/http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/AUDT/4/win32/Audition_4_LS7.exe   )
[via CMD Tools]
--FFMPEG--
**Extract Video to Audio Stream:AC3 (mkv -> ac3 fil)[important for 5.1 audio extraction]
for %x in (*.mkv) do ffmpeg -i %x -acodec copy %x.ac3
**Extract Audio AC3 to wav channels: (works directly from mkv aswell)
ffmpeg -i out.ac3 -filter_complex "channelsplit=channel_layout=5.1[FL][FR][FC][LFE][BL][BR]" -map "[FL]" front_left.wav -map "[FR]" front_right.wav -map "[FC]" front_center.wav -map "[LFE]" lfe.wav -map "[BL]" back_left.wav -map "[BR]" back_right.wav
**Dowmix to wav:
for %%x in (*.mkv) do ffmpeg -i "%%x" -c pcm_s16le -ac 2 out.wav
Downmix to DTS:
for %%x in (*.mkv) do ffmpeg -i "%%x" -strict -2 -c:a dca -ac 2 -vol 425 out.dts
|
2.) Stitching/Splicing from available instances of the songs
-- I made a quick video to "demo" how I create a track: https://youtu.be/WGCwk2AXXQo (all "cues") to make a (hopefully) -mostly- faithful to the original recreation [most tracks on this channel have been created this way, as it eliminates any doubt about "getting the songs instruments right"]
[Usually I gather *all* of the songs of a show in a folder, then sort them into subfolders to have it easier afterwards, this can be done via "silencing non music parts in a audioprogram, then using a /split by silence technique/" or "recording relevant parts via VLC-MediaPlayer record function while rewatching the show"]
--Split by silence options_-
[FFMPEG]
ffmpeg -i input.ogg -vn -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:00:01 noise-sample.wav
sox noise-sample.wav -n noiseprof noise.prof
sox input.ogg clean.wav noisered noise.prof 0.21
sox -V3 clean.wav output.wav silence 1 0.2 0.4% 1 0.2 0.4% : newfile : restart
[Mp3Splitter and Joiner Pro]
*see program page of publisher* http://www.ezsoftmagic.com/mp3splitter/mp3splitter_pro.htm

3.) (Worst option) Utilizing AI Based algorithms to seperate voice from audio:
* Spleeter/Deezer
(spleeter on android:
1.) KoalaSampler (rqs extra 158mb download !)
2.) github.com/FaceOnLive/Spleeter-Android-iOS drive.google.com/file/d/173Fb2Gf6FnZHg6f86nTW11y5WVDbSQ07/view?usp=sharing )
 *RX Izotope
   * Spectral Layers (Has the option to extract bass and piano seperately)
(All these programs: iZotope, SpectralLayers etc. are based on Spleeter either how...
( https://web.archive.org/web/20211205183157/twitter.com/ryedai1/status/1467561087218462730 )
*2022 Update.
Spleeteris kinda outdated.

|
4.) Recreating the song from scratch (i.e. "recomposition")
Not in the cards (for me), as I find that to be impossible for many tracks.
(First off: Guessing the correct sound library the original composer used: Not as easy)
  #They aren't exactly the most transferable things, with their dependance on an army of plugins you probably don't have, references to external files that aren't included in the project, etc. There are remix kits and midi files floating around for tons of things thouh. Tracker scene music is mostly sample based and played in the same format used to compose it, so you can disect a lot of classic mods, but some are obfuscated. Those are old and computery sounding though.
https://www.reddit.com/r/WeAreTheMusicMakers/comments/1v0kws/have_the_daw_files_of_any_famous_songsmusicians/
|
(Note on "recomposition", OnlyMe describes the process as such:
»I only searched by random samples on youtube as "music box sample" or, "choir samples"
also I used melodyne to rip the lead using the original sound of the anime I edited everything in vegas pro«)
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HZb4Cj3tlQw

It’s hard to make the beats nowadays. ERB customizes their beats really well so
it’s dang-near impossible unless you know how to produce music yourself.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GOGQC6ajyT8&pp=ygUZSXNhYWMgdnMgbnllIGluc3RydW1lbnRhbA%3D%3D

Q: Help ! I have SFX (SoundeFeCts) in my mix, how do I remove them *sob* ?
A: There are some options:
1) Use ISSE (hard to use, but does an excellent job) (Tut: )
2) Use "DnR" algo. in https://mvsep.com
3) (paid)  Use SpectraLayers ( https://youtu.be/B_LwhfuIe1Y )
4) (paid)  Use AdobeAuditionCC's SpectralView (Tut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVvV92yBzRw )
5) (paid)  Use features of "IzotopeRX" (Tut: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-hPgBdtDcQ )

Q: What is "splicing" ?
A:
*As FleurBlanche / Musashi put it:
     "I cut the music so that I could fill the parts with mushes with other parts without
      mushes at this point of the music. So I cut it on my own, there isnt an OST =//"
     https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2_dFEw_gL1c
Nendows Take:
    I simply extract them from the anime using only clean samples,
    which are most of the time gathered from different episodes, and then compiled together.
    This only works when there are sufficient clean samples to work with though
    •buyucu serefsiz: @Nendow  so you perfectly combine them? which program do you use
    •Nendow Yep, that's exactly what I do.
    I use Vegas Pro and Audacity, but any audio editor should get the job done just as good,
    I only use them because they suit my workflow well.
    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8WqsKv2jtVE


Q: Any tips on using Audio Editor programs ?
A: Yes: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLK4C8g4vpj7UdtUX3wOgdszhga-zqOElM

Q: I want to compose music. Any program tips ?
A: LMMS is free https://lmms.io/download incase you don't want to  use the more expensive software
 like Cubase, Nuendo, fruityloops or Reaver

Q: Any special tools you're using ?
A: Well.
[Creating the music]
   (  -Editing-   )
*Audio Edit program with switch between tracks support. Multitracksupport also helps (Adobe Audition is apparantly a good choice)
*Vocal Isolation: SteinbergSpectral Layers (Trial) (iZotope is recommended aswell, or spleeter if on a budget)
  (   -OS-(Win10)
* QTTabBar for previewing audiofiles via mouseover
 ( http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/ )
* Folderico for colorcoding folders (red=unlikely, orange=in progress, darkgreen= done)
* Autohotkey for reducing repeating tasks (f.e. silencing sections via one keypress)
Also for rebinding things like /scroll/ to keyboard (so zooming into the waveform is quicker)
[Finalizing for YT]
* Imagemagick for scaling pictures to either 640x360 /or/ 1280x720 (depending on source resolution)
* FFMpeg for combining picture+audio
(Lately I've started using www.gihosoft.com/download/adr/JJSVideoEditor_V2.exe to join videos without ffmpeg...)

Q: How do you did you get those equalizers into your video ?
A: Via FFMPEG: (song = mp3 file, song.jpg = background image)
ffmpeg -i song.mp3 -loop 1 -i song.jpg -filter_complex "[0:a]showwaves=s=640x360:mode=cline:colors=blue[fg]; [1:v]scale=640:-1,crop=iw:360[bg]; [bg][fg]overlay=shortest=1:main_h-overlay_h-30,format=yuv420p[out]" -map "[out]" -map 0:a -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 18 s.mp4


Q: Can I ask you \ request you to do a song for me ?
A: Yep. You can send me a mail at [email protected]
(Or message me on youtube via comment on the -then- newest video)
Twitter is also a possibility via DM: @alceawisteria
•You can also submit directly via form here:
https://bitbucket.org/alceawisteria/ostr/issues/new (Currently not really working)

Q: What is a quick way to extract a cue from video ?
A: Use FFMpeg to cut out a segment as audio:
•Linux:
cd /storage/emulated/0/Download
ffmpeg -i *.mp4 -ss 00:03:48 -t 00:02:00.0 -q:a 0 -map a split.mp3
•Windows:
TBD

Q: Any favorite song in particular ?
 A: Most likely "Ai Wa Kurayami no naka de" by ZARD (Kamachi Sachiko)
                  [愛は暗闇の中で featuring Aya Kamiki（上木彩矢)]

Q: The first anime song you remember liking ?
A: The first time I conciously started thinking about anime music, was when (aswell as the reason for) starting this channel: "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya".
(~2007 I uploaded all episodes of TMoHS back onto diarykeeper back then lol).
 [Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne and RyuuseiNo Rockman came soonafter]
So, this song. obviously:
== "Nagato vs Asakura"https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=s4G7yTgV8Es

Q: Who's the girl in your ava ? Who's the cat ?
A:She's an artstyle mix I drew from (Maron Kusakabe) and (Misora Hibiki)
pixiv.net/en/artworks/95788522 megaman.fandom.com/wiki/Tango_(program)

or songs that were covered by other ppl already, but I didn't realize it early enough..

Q: I love music, but my hearing is bad (/badder on one ear) Any idea?
A:
For a software workaround:
•iOS has an "audio" balance feature built in (settings)
•Android 10 has an "audio balance" feature built in. So does Poweramp (An Android Music player)
•Windows: winaero.com/change-sound-audio-balance-for-left-and-right-channels-in-windows-10/amp/
Other options to rebalance audio via #hardware solution
a) put a cardboard to dampen audio

b) get an "audio balancing" adapter
