Starwars Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Since there are a few lovely new tracks included in the expansion, I wonder if it would be possible for you guys to update the soundtrack to the game (as downloadable on the backer site, STEAM, etc) with the new tracks? That'd be wonderful. 9 Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Justin Bell Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Hey Starwars, Thanks for that, glad you enjoy the soundtrack! To answer your question, unfortunately we will not be updating the soundtrack with the expansion music. That said, the .oggs for the soundtrack are bundled in the game data folder, so you can get them easily that way. They'll probably be in a folder that looks like this: data\win\PillarsOfEternity_data\data\audio\mus\px1_mus or px1\data\win\PillarsOfEternity_data\data\audio\mus\px1_mus If you need a program to conver the oggs to mp3s, this one is pretty good and it's free http://www.freemake.com/how_to/how_to_convert_ogg_to_mp3_free 5
Justin Bell Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Also if you decide to do this, I recommend waiting until the next patch. I updated the mix of some of the music, it sounds much better. 7
Starwars Posted August 31, 2015 Author Posted August 31, 2015 Thanks a lot for the answer Justin and again, great work! The Stalwart music is fantastic, and the rest of what I've heard so far is great too. 1 Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Justin Bell Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 My pleasure. Very happy to hear you like the music.
sp3cw4r Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Agreed, love the new tunes I'm hearing. Good work Justin. 2
achaye Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Are the new pieces recorded with a live orchestra as well? I vaguely remember the Kickstarter meeting the orchestration goal, but that was for the main game. Disclaimer: I have yet to play the game yet, so I haven't a clue what the music sounds like, and it would be nice if some of the important themes are orchestrated with live players.
Justin Bell Posted August 31, 2015 Posted August 31, 2015 Hi achaye, Not all, but the major ones were. The town, wilderness, and two new combat pieces were all live orchestra. The inn and some other things used a singer.
sp3cw4r Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) One thing I noticed was the bard in Gref's Rest, I couldn't talk to her, said she was busy... but I didn't hear her singing. The second time I entered the inn she WAS singing... and it was great (reminded me of the bard and her incredible songs in DAI, like this one). 3rd time I entered, again she wasn't singing but when I exited the inn (just outside) I heard her again. So yeah, something weird going on there I think, hope it gets cleared up. Edited September 1, 2015 by sp3cw4r
khango Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 I'm a big fan of the Inn music (when it plays).

So yeah, something weird going on there I think, hope it gets cleared up. Yeah, now that I think about it, this happens to me too. I actually haven't heard the Inn music yet. Something seems to be going on. The singing animation plays but there is no music coming out. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
macadam Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Yeah, now that I think about it, this happens to me too. I actually haven't heard the Inn music yet. Something seems to be going on. The singing animation plays but there is no music coming out. There's a singing animation? I hadn't noticed because the bard was always off-screen, for me. Was really startled by the bard song the first time. And I'm adding to the chorus here, good work on the music, it's amazing how it adds to the atmosphere.
Starwars Posted September 1, 2015 Author Posted September 1, 2015 I *think* there is. Like, it's pretty subtle, she's just kinda swaying back and forth. I think it's different than the normal idle animation but I could be wrong. But yeah, I'm still not hearing any music there unfortunately. Listen to my home-made recordings (some original songs, some not): http://www.youtube.c...low=grid&view=0
Justin Bell Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Thanks folks for the kind words! What you guys are describing sounds like a bug. When the dancing animation triggers, the singing music should as well. We'll take a look. As for hearing the song outside the inn but not seeing the singer inside, there's no connection between the two unfortunately. In other words that emitter will always trigger regardless if the singer is singing or not. It would be awesome if we could tie the two together, but there's no way for us to track that without some messy scripting logic. 1
Mazisky Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 I hope Justin will give us some others new tracks with the 2nd part of the exp ) 2
Justin Bell Posted September 2, 2015 Posted September 2, 2015 Hi Mazisky, I hope so too! Chances are there will be new music for The White March 2. 3
durbal Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 The chant when the White Forge was refired was perfect. Loved it. 1
Quantics Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I just wanted to say that I throughly enjoyed the new music in the game. I already liked the original content, but I think I like the expansion music even more. Amazing job ! 1
Justin Bell Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks durbal and Quantics for that! durbal, I'm glad to hear you liked the chant, there was some debate about it in the office but my instincts told me it was the right thing.
Darkpriest Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 Lovin it and want more... when is the next part cpming again? ;p 1
Justin Bell Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 LOL nice Darkpriest! No idea when the next part is coming I'm as excited as you are :D
Jayngo Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Justin, Awesome music with the expansion. I purchased the original Pillars soundtrack the day it came out on iTunes. Not sure if I read the previous posts correctly, but are you saying you will not be releasing the White March soundtrack for purchase? I'm hoping you guys do. Waiting until Part 2 comes out seems the logical choice. Would love to purchase White March soundtrack from Part 1 and Part 2 combined! 1
AndreaColombo Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Indeed, the music for the expansion is pretty rad. I especially enjoy the Stalwart theme. Would be great the get the full White March soundtrack once part II is released. 3 "Time is not your enemy.

Justin Bell Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I don't have any definitive news to share at the moment, but I can say that we're discussing ways to release the expansion soundtrack, and that it would most likely happen after part 2 is released. Thanks again for your support and your kind words! You guys are great. 6
