I'm thinking about uploading my personal rip of nearly complete DX soundtrack for you who want it.
By "personal rip" do you mean "files copied out of the music folder"?
Also, van HellSing has indeed confirmed his awful taste in this thread. There is no valid justification for hating the DX main theme.
Also also, "Cpt Nutfudger" might want to give serious consideration to creating a new user account with a less stupid name. TTLG, he may find, is not populated primarily by 12-year-olds.

Ah yes because mocking someone's name is the height of maturity
Keep on topic if you can manage it

I like the composition, but the recording that's used in the game is horrid. It sounds like it was recorded using the synth on a Gravis Ultrasound.

Well... it's not a "recording" per se. All the music in DX is done via Impulse Tracker sequencing. It's a clunky way of doing music for a game of DX's vintage perhaps, but the Unreal engine supported it.

Surely, Brandon/Van Den Bos knew their job. I'm thinking about uploading my personal rip of nearly complete DX soundtrack for you who want it. I so prefer the raw electronic sound over those boring "orchestral" versions.
Expanding a little upon what Zylon said - any media player that can handle IT/MOD files and recognize .umx with or without a plugin can play the game's soundtrack right from the \music folder.

Yeah, it is a little different to recording as you're imagining it. If you can't find something to play the .MOD files (I believe there's a piece of software called ModPlug that will do the job just fine) you can download the original mp3'd versions of the MOD's on dx-music

Indeed, I had to use a little program called UMXRIP to convert them from Unreal format to native IT files.
And to further expand on what I said above-- For years, I'd only used WinAMP to play the Deus Ex IT files. Recently when I tried Foobar2000 to play them, I discovered that most of the IT files contain several subtracks. A lot of them are the "combat" variations of an area's music, but many of them I swear I've never heard before in-game.

I was wondering where the combat music snippets and what-not were hiding... I'll check that out. I've just been using Winamp myself.

XMPlay has native umx support.

If my memory serves me well, each of the game tracks are composed of regular, combat, and death parts. And I'm not sure, but I think conversation backgrounds as well.
If anyone wants them, and it doesn't in any way go against this site's rules, I can upload both the game and the GOTY track sets in mp3 format the next time I bump into this thread. The game ones are at 128Kbps, and the GOTY are varied, 250 megs altogether. I suppose that if someone really wants it, I could also rip the GOTY set off my own disc at 320Kbps.
Jashin on 28/9/2008 at 01:40
320Kbps sounds nice, I'm up for that.
And BTW, those of you louts can get da hellls outta this my thread here. Does it say "discussion" on it?
