Menu music

<div class="IPBDescription">can we get it as hq audio file?</div>I was wondering if you could offer the intro music (I guess it's "Hive"?) as a high quality audio file for download pretty please :)

The one ingame actually sounds distorted sometimes, esp. at the beginning, propably due to the compression. I also tried extracting it from the fsb files but the quality doesn't change pretty much :(

    Though a good track for sure, that is not the same music that plays in the menu.

    Yikes, you're right. Well not sure where you can get that, but I saw some discussion in the modding section of the forum where someone found a program that could export audio from the datafiles, although I could personally not get it to work.
    <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2/forums/index.php?showtopic=110989" target="_blank">How to extract music from .fsb</a>
    and site from which you download it
    <a href="http://jerome.jouvie.free.fr/musicplayer/index.php" target="_blank">http://jerome.jouvie.free.fr/musicplayer/index.php</a> (get the MusicPlayer[EX] version)

    Update:
    WARNING: Also be VERY aware that a lot of sounds are so DISTORTED that it'll scare the ###### out of you if you have high volume, so just keep it low!
    However the track you're looking for can be found in <i>steamapps\common\natural selection 2\ns2\sound\music.fsb</i> as <i>music(2)</i> in the list.

    Already did that extracting, but the quality does not really get better :(

    That's why I was asking for a hq version :)

    Ah, well I guess that's something only the developers can help you with then.

    hi-def? Just ask for a lossless copy of the track.

    I hope the menu tracks are randomized on startup.

    If I recall, the devs were going to release a soundtrack (probably for a price) to people who enjoy the music.

    thats just how the track sounds, its not because of the compression that its distorted, the synth line at the start just has a distortion effect applyed to it, the wav file sounds pretty much identical to what u hear in game,.

    ps if u guys come across sounds that are broken and just sound like really loud distortion that ruins ur speakers and ears can u send me an email with the details of what sound is doing it,

    its a problem we get with FMOD sample rate optimisation and occasionaly it messes random sounds up like that

    thanx guys

    Uhm okay then..
    I was under the impression that the crackle from 5,5 on was unintentional. some sort of overmodulated bassline, which might have been a result from the compression.
    But since you say thats how it's meant to be..

    Thanks for the answer and keep it up. I really like both included tracks (except for that cracling sound ;) )
