F-22 Raptor (Novalogic, 1997) Complete Remastered Soundtrack

Описание: Remastered MIDI tracks!

This was one of my favorite childhood flight simulators. And as I grew up, I realized just how great and intricate the music was. The composer, Joseph Kolkovich, produced an astounding 20 minutes or so of fully orchestrated music, just for F-22 Raptor! As a listener in 2019, the in-game MIDI files don't do it justice - nor does this audio version quite do it, either.

If you're curious, I essentially just converted the MIDI files to an mp3 or related format (making sure to the MIDI channels corresponded to the appropriate instruments). At times, I used the Garritan ARIA player to play back the MIDI files using an orchestral sound bank. After a few minor audio enhancements, I spliced them all together.

You can learn a lot about a video game's production history by analyzing the music files. I can see exactly (to the minute) when the files were originally uploaded and saved; I can see titles/subtitles/remarks about the soundtracks that, presumably, the composer created with during production; I can see how the game accesses and reads the music files and how in-game events trigger certain responses.
