At 01:48 that Spectrasonics Liquid Grooves - SNT VC WHL sample is also in the soundtrack for Tenchu 2 in track 04 Shiren (Tora Eno Rasetsu). At 07:28 that Best Service Orchestral Colours A# Race sample is also in the soundtrack for Mutant Penguins (MS-DOS, 1996) in track 07 (CD track order).

If this video were food, I'd be devouring it. Thanks a lot for this, Rayman 1 was such a highlight in my childhood -- imagine discovering this game when you were 7 years old.

99% of all artists today use samples... the rare 1% are those out their hunting down unique sounds never heard before... which at this point may as well be damn near impossible.

Trent Reznor cooked here

How beautiful<3 thank you

reading the title I thought these would be taken from already made songs... but these are like raw RAW samples drum and bass artists used to make music with, that's how legit Yamaoka is

Silent hill 2 soundtrack is so relaxing

This video is wonderfully assembled. Bravo to the creator

4:44 sounds like a track from Revolution but I can't place it. Globox's House I think

Never imagined zelda games used samples for their songs... now I love it even more as a huge fan of Silent Hill soundtrack

This sounds very similar to a R4 Ridge Racer 4 song from the PS1.

Using samples is a separate art

That last sound is used in the goron mines, too, in Twilight Princess.

1:54 I think this sample also was used in "White Lies" from Silent Hill: Origins!

Other game composers used samples a lot. So no biggy

Puppet Ganon Second Half seems to just use that one sample outright with zero alteration

People need to remember this... Your job as a musician is to convey emotions.. by any means.

Randomly found your Lego You've Been Framed video, didn't know that 16 years later you'd still be releasing videos

Why people here are very upset? . Using samples is something common in music industry. I mean, they paid por that in some cases..

This is a reminder that the first four games, to my knowledge, generated most of their audio in real time using the consoles’ on-board sampling tech (at least on Sony hardware). Only stuff like openings FMVs and credits actually used prerecorded music.

What a splendidly specific sense of sounds.

The itty bitty sounds he had to track down. Hes so good.

I wonder if someone once played OOT and when they entered Deku Tree for the first went like "heeey... I made this !"

Akira isn't a genious or anything like that. He's just a fine musician. Using samples denotes lack of creativity and skills. But it is undeniable that there is merit in recognizing good samples and knowing how to use them to create good song. Although I find it overrated, I recognize that the songs are good, but the most commendable feature is their uniqueness. But for the love of God, stop worshiping this guy blindly. He's no big deal.

Thanks for the post ! to come back to what some say, Akira Yamaoka uses samples to make his music, but the trip hop, ambient genre is essentially built like that, now everyone can use samples but managing to create something interesting and sufficiently constructive with it is not given to everyone, so to those who criticize, do as much and we'll talk about it again! and then making a full album with only new sound design is extremely long, it's not one or two projects per year that he would do but one every 2 years!

Some of these really slap

That 3b radio sounds in the beginning also plays in the first hellraiser when he shows up

They don't make them like they used to. This mystical/wonderous sound is what the late 90's/early 2000's sounded like in my head.

WOOOOH SO COOL

Fantastic graphic work and audio editing. Glad to see you back.

deeep

The sheer creativity of some people. I dabble in making music and I often hear samples and sounds and have no idea what to do with them. Meanwhile other people make absolute bangers out of seemingly random stuff.

Thats why zelda's n64 years were so unique,the sampling and music direction were so damn unique and trippy compared to what came before and after,except for TP,that ost was very memorable and weird too

8:29 cyberoptics strange van white man

4:52 When I heard this sample I thought of "Eerie" from Terraria

Distorted Reality was the secret to making darker themed soundtracks and themes in MM and TP...

Good video

This is so amazing and notable video! I wish I watched it long long time ago!.. oh, dear...

How did I even play these games this is so scary

1:49 i cant find that track anywhere mannnnnnn

These were all released for free in 2022! Get creative! 😎

That Spectrasonics CD must have been the most valuable item in Nintendo music department fro late 90s to early 2000s

Fun fact: The Massive T sample from EastWest: Twisted Textures was also used in the song Teardrop by Massive Attack!

3:36 I'm certain that this sample was used in the Frank Henenlotter film Brain Damage in a scene where Brian experiences a weird hallucination.

this fucking ROCKS! the rayman soundtracks were always so delightfully twisted and surreal. so fucking glad to finally have a vid of them

At dinner with the creator!

Oh My God ! All of my life was a lie !!

I lost it at 1:35 😂

excellent production!

I have a rocket stuck in my eye
