  • Happy 20th anniversary to the original Ratchet & Clank!
    You may be aware that the music from the first Ratchet & Clank game (composed by the wonderful David Bergeaud) is mono, meaning that the left and right ears hear the same thing and all the sound feels like it's coming from one speaker right in front of you, rather than from all around. This is my attempt at rectifying that.

    Upon discovering that tools like splitter.ai exist, which use neural networks to attempt to split audio files into individual instrument tracks, I immediately asked myself 'Can I use this to make the original mono R&C soundtrack stereo?'
    Transforming a mono track into stereo is hard. You're essentially trying to create stereo information out of nothing. Previous attempts in the R&C community at 'stereoizing' the original mono tracks from R&C involved using a classic trick where an echo is added to the original track which is opposite in phase between the left and right ears, essentially panning some frequencies left and some right. While this does make things 'wider', the instruments still all feel like they're positioned in front of you, but this time with a little more 'space' where some notes jump slightly right and some slightly left. And while these efforts were commendable, clearly more drastic measures needed to be taken to get the music sounding truly stereo.
    What started as an exercise involving simply panning the AI separated instruments left and right turned into a full high quality remaster in an attempt to really bring out as much detail as possible and honor the excellence of these tracks. The mono tracks didn't just lose stereo information, they lost balancing, where the process of collapsing two channels into one created mud and clutter (at least to my ear) which I've tried to tease out while adding a bit more sparkle and shine to the tracks. These remasters are far from perfect, and aside from my still-developing skills needing sharpening I was wrestling the whole time with an AI which insisted that, in the middle of a bar, a violin was no longer part of the string section but should suddenly be reclassified as a drum, tossing the instrument into a completely different stem and thus throwing off my efforts to pan things consistently. As such, you may hear some instruments jump around the stereo field occasionally. As these stem splitting tools improve, one day I may have another crack at this challenge. That is unless an official stereo remaster is released!
    In the meantime, I hope you can all enjoy this remaster as a new take on the soundtrack to many of our childhoods. And if not, keep listening to this banger of a soundtrack in mono, it still sounds great that way too.
    Should the rights holders see this release as not falling under fair use, or should there be an official release of the soundtrack, email me at fuzzballandthetincan@gmail.com to request takedown and I will promptly comply.
    ~Xotla
    P.S. Yes, I know, 'separates' and 'conceived' appear to be spelt wrong in the credits. I'll have you know however that the dictionary is now obsolete and my chosen spellings supersede those found in common parlance.

    Hi All! Thanks so much for listening :)
    Please note that this was a fun little project I spent no more than a few hours on, and I never expected it to explode like it has! Had I known, I would have spent a lot more time paying attention to each track, but as it stands the tracks were all processed together with each 'stem' being made up of all relevant instruments from every track in succession. What this means is that I only ever had one big master file containing every track, and pulling out each individual track separately for release would be another whole project in itself. This, coupled with the fact that the project is stored on my old computer which I no longer use and may or may not even still have the original split stems stored unfortunately means that releasing the tracks for download isn't currently on the cards. I'd hoped (and still hold out for) an official release one day, but in the meantime I hope you can enjoy this soundtrack nonetheless.
    If you're looking for more RaC style music, check out my channel where you can hear tracks I've composed (and am currently composing) for a work in progress ratchet and clank fan game :)
    Thanks again everyone!

    Amazing work! You can easily hear the different layers of the tracks now without them competing with each other in the same audio space. I've played the original R&C countless times as it's an all-time favorite of mine, and I'm only now hearing these little details for the first time. My love for this soundtrack has only deepened now.
    I also really appreciate you adding the transition sounds and using gameplay screenshots to show the areas the tracks play in. It's a little bit of extra detail that goes a long way to immerse you, now that we have this in stereo.

      JVP: Good day David,
      With the upcoming 20th anniversary of the release of Ratchet & Clank, I was wondering if there would be a possibility of an album release of all the tracks from the first game in Stereo form. I know there exist a fair few of the tracks from the beta version of the game, but some of them (notably being the Aridia Outpost X11) are only partly complete with some of my other favorites like Gaspar and the second Outpost X11 lacking a version entirely. I’m not sure if there would be an issue of ownership over the rights to the music as I’m not particularly informed as to whether Sony or you holds the rights. All I know is your soundtracks for the Ratchet and Clank series have been a core component of my early life that I still listen to this day, with your soundtrack from Going Commando containing most of my favorites.
      Sincerely,
      A longtime fan of your work, Jake

    I remember as a kid I loved the sound track of this game, for the first time in my life I watched the credits scroll and saw a familiar name pop up in the credits, to my amazement I saw that is was my year 5 teacher who worked on this sound development of this game, the next day I rushed to school just to ask my teacher if he worked on the game and his eyes lit up! He looked at me and said “shh” with the biggest grin on his face, my jaw dropped and my eyes widened. I was also his worse student when I got to his class because I sucked at maths.
