Yeah, it would sound pretty cool honestly... though I would prefer if it were only certain motifs and the general style of each soundtrack that carried over. Hearing RaC1 redone in jungle/techno with elements of DnB and industrial, Going Commando with that classic synth-orchestral mix, UYA with its emphasis on electric guitar and funky Hollywood-esque synths, and Deadlocked with that distinct metal guitar sound on top of the distorted synths, some 808s, and maybe more out-there themes for the tracks... a pipe dream, but it'd be amazing to bear witness to.
I just read your comment about how you essentially rebuilt them all from scratch with the sounds, instruments, and effects and Holy fuckety fuck ass that's some hustle. I freaking recognize that. Impressive sir. We are blessed to have you. I will also be using this now-articulated audio to help me record a cover track of this heh Also btw I love what you did with that off-beat click/pop found throughout the song. It has a nice swirl/left-right effect to it. Before it got mostly lost in the audio. It took me about 50 listens to the mono track to realize it's there. It's the same click/pop sound found in the Ratchet on Orxon track
Heh thank you. I did try to use the source samples as much as possible, but finding them was an insane task in of itself lol. Glad it paid out in the end!
@@johnnygyro2295 stubbornness, maybe they don't want to admit the superiority of the original? It's hard to come up with a good reason for them NOT to do it
absolutely amazing work, i'm just kinda baffled that all the synths are so spot on Edit: just found out David Bergeaud used synths from some demo disks through all three games, still a cool remake nonetheless though, definitely saving for later
@@nicknuwe If they have no interested, then it falls into the hands of dedicated fans. I mean, just look at what the ZRET (Zelda Reverse-Engineering Team) has done, their project to map out OoT in C++ ultimately gave birth to a beautiful PC port. And they are also reverse engineering Majora's Mask, Minish Cap, and Twilight Princess. If all that, especially Twilight Princess, is possible, I don't see why the same couldn't be done for RnC.
I'm not entirely sure a trilogy remake is completely off the table though. You honestly really never know with this kind of stuff. Mayne they can get Bluepoint or someone else besides Insomniac to handle remaking these titles. It's totally possible even if very unlikely
Insaaane work dude! the effort you’re putting into these really pays off, started replaying the original trilogy after your last vid so these are hitting hard right now
1:34 I like how that lil ostinato in the background pops up frequently throughout the soundtrack of Ratchet & Clank. Its almost like a leitmotif for Ratchet, if not a distant, constant reminder of just how far from home he is. Such a great touch by David Bergeaud.
Freakin amazing man. The nostalgia rushed in so hard. I hold Ratchet and clank very near and dear to my heart so hearing an actually well made stereo version made my day. Keep it up🤙🏼
Awesome work remaking these man! Maybe you could do the aridia theme next? There was already a portion of the song in stereo from the beta tracks so it might be easier to go by.
Just found your channel. Amazing work! Hope you get to remastering ratchet orxon and gremlik base as those are my favourite. I'd recommend working on the tracks we don't have in stereo from the beta version of the game, all other tracks we only have in mono
I love this! But i would freak out if you suddenly did the veldin theme from up your arsenal since it's my favorite song in the whole series! Sounds great! Veldin has always been my favorite in every game! The atmosphere, enemies and music, but i do prefer veldin from uya the most :) I just find the level to be better designed and more fun and the music more catchy! :D
I never noticed those strings in the beginning until you pointed them out with a comically large pointer finger and I'll never listen to this song the same ever again.
Yep lol, I didn't notice them either until I started working on this remake. The funny thing is that I matched the volume of the original since I worked on this entirely in mono, but after bringing it back to stereo it got instantly a lot easier to notice. Spatial cues help a lot with quiet sounds
Haha thanks! I'll try, but I can't guarantee I can make it since a lot of the tracks are sample based and I can't always source all of the samples, which is bad if they're important (I had to drop Gemlik Base for this reason unfortunately). But I am planning on making some original R&C style tracks with the experience I'm gaining through these remakes.
@@nicknuwe You probably know this already, but if you need help finding drumloops or specific electronic/synth-y samples, David seemed to use a lot of "X-Static" sample discs for this OST.
You mean the rhythmic beeps? As similar as they may seem, they're two different samples (from the same sample pack, but still). I like the fact that they actually do make the soundtrack feel more connected though
Thanks! I know what he used, but it's all hardware unfortunately so I had resort to VSTs. The orchestral instruments he used are supposedly available as VST now, but they cost money and I figured it wasn't worth the investment. I ended up just using my Kontakt stuff instead, hoping nobody would notice :x
@@nicknuwe Haha and here i am picking apart your instrument choices ;) Yea that's understandable, plus nowadays you'd much better spend the money on newer orchestra libraries that are much better for the same price. Do you know what that VST is called? I kinda dig that somewhat fake sound tbh
@@aster6000 Yep my thoughts exactly, unfortunately it wasn't really worth getting them. One of the libraries is called Roland SRX Orchestra, but I know he also used another one... of which I really can't remember the name for the sake of me, sorry about that hahaha
The organ is surprisingly a sample from the same library as the drums and not a synth, the keys are a regular Rhodes piano for which I used a VST called MrRay73, and the various synth sounds are just me reverse engineering the sounds from the original (which are mostly just saws with one or two bandpasses)
@@nicknuwe thank you for the detailed answer, I do some music production myself and this project of yours never ceases to amaze me. You should upload a video showing it playing in your DAW and how the song is constructed.
It was indeed optimization related. Supposedly once they added the EU FMVs for the final build in simple PSS format, one video stream per language, they ran into space issues (English only would have been fine). They solved this in later games by using a single video stream for each FMV with multiple audio streams inside, yet they still ran into problems with UYA, where they had to drop all dialogue sample rate from 44KHz to 22KHz (music was untouched). It's also worth noting the stereo tracks were an attempt made in late development, early alphas were still doing mono, same as the final version (except without dedicated loops). Perhaps they oversold their budget, but I'm glad they did, since those stereo tracks are now public (plus a few from UYA's beta). Did you know that in that late R&C1 build build, the placeholder track for Kyzil Plateau (level 0) was the Blackwater City sewer escape music? Probably because, in absence of the final track, they intended to sell some sort of tense vibe for the invasion of Drek's robots in charge of attaining Clank. Similarly, unincluded levels also had placeholder tracks that suited the planet, like Kalebo III using Metropolis' theme.
does anyone knows if it would be possible to mod this music into the ps2 game? I know nothing about ps2 emulation but I need this, can't back to mono now
Just thinking about how cool it would be if they remastered all the classic R&C games and this is how the sound track would sound! AMAZING!
Uhm, they already did?
@@Apocryphox *they maked a new R&C based on ps2 but remake would look much more different than this :)*
They have on ps3, but those are horribly buggy. Much better off playing the ps2 games
Yeah, it would sound pretty cool honestly... though I would prefer if it were only certain motifs and the general style of each soundtrack that carried over.

@@Apocryphoxkind of but it's a tie in with the 2016 movie
0:53 Is still my favorite part of the Veldin OST, I wish it was longer
Dude saaame
19 years later, still slaps hard, nice rm!
It will never stop slapping!
I can't wait for Novalis Toburk crater and Kerwan Metropolis
original full stereo songs already exist for those but itd be cool for him to remaster em too
I need to hear Aridia's overworld theme.

This sounds amazing. It makes me wish all the more that IG did what Toys for Bob did with Spyro when they remastered the OG R&C.
Yeah that's what it should've been, and a remastered soundtrack would've been bliss

it's so subtle but when you hear it once, you always hear it
God these remakes sound so crisp and good 😌
Absolutely amazing job. Love how many details you can hear that you couldn’t in the original.
This is really great! Sounds like it could've come straight from David Bergeaud.
absolutely amazing the difference is so noticeable compared to the originals
This is super accurate, wow!
we need more of this for modern r&c
HAPPY 20TH ANNIVERSARY TO RATCHET AND CLANK!!!!
#RAC20TH
This soundtrack is a great place to hone your musical skill 🎵
Listening this with the AirPods Pro and spatial audio with head tracking its absolutely incredible
Bruh why is it soo good now
I love it
Freakin amazing man. The nostalgia rushed in so hard. I hold Ratchet and clank very near and dear to my heart so hearing an actually well made stereo version made my day. Keep it up🤙🏼
Excellent work and true to the original!
About time someone gave this treatment to this soundtrack tbh
Ratchet PS4 could never
excellent work this certainly a bop to add to the playlist
Yo, this is SICK! I could totally see this in a remaster if IG didn't make the movie-game.
My ears are happy
I like this remaster a lot, nice job. 🎶
Everyone has that one game. The original Ratchet and Clank is mine. Every time I hear it's music, I'm taken back to the first time I played it.
This is beyond amazing, great work!
I love it. ^-^

You, my friend, did an outstanding job with this one.
Love this! If you ever wanna remake another R&C 1 track my suggestion would be Gemlik base
This is sick
I would die to hear a remake of Starship phoenix from UYA. That'd be amazing.
Good stuff man! Excellent job and I thank you so much.

NOW THATS WHAT IM TALKIN’ ABOUT
*BEAUTIFUL*
I've never noticed the Orxon main melody is within the Veldin soundtrack
You mean the rhythmic beeps? As similar as they may seem, they're two different samples (from the same sample pack, but still). I like the fact that they actually do make the soundtrack feel more connected though
@@nicknuwe You can also hear the horns section from "Novalis" in the Veldin return track, as well as a melody from Metropolis.
Can’t wait for Gaspar if you ever get to that one
Man that's really good! Did you find the VSTs / instruments he originally used or did you have to substitute?

🕺🏻💣🕺🏻💣🕺🏻💣🕺🏻
you should remake Orxon (ratchet clank ost)
God Damn
If you don't mind me asking, where were you able to find the original samples of the songs? Or didja remake them yourself?
Could we get some more of these classics remastered please? Im dying for this to make a resurgence
I never asked, obviously you found the original samples but what did you do for the synth sounds? Like that organ?
The organ is surprisingly a sample from the same library as the drums and not a synth, the keys are a regular Rhodes piano for which I used a VST called MrRay73, and the various synth sounds are just me reverse engineering the sounds from the original (which are mostly just saws with one or two bandpasses)

EARGASM
Basically what it was like uncompressed?
This is a remake. It's completely made from scratch to sound as close as possible to the original but with stereo audio
Could you please tell me what the samples are for the drums and where you got them? Thank you
The name of the sample packs used by Bergeaud in the trilogy is X-Static Goldmine volumes 1 through 4, if you need more info just google the name
Thank you!!! Can you do Eudora next?
Please do the gemlik base, that song is by far my favourite. Just surpassing the seingshot section on eudora
Next should be Pokitaru
Nice
Did David Bergeaud see those reimaginations of the music? I'd be curious on what his thoughts were!
Subbed.
This should be in reeboot
The OG wasnt stereo?
@Alariko Huh, Interesting.

FL Studio, but you can use any DAW to make something like this.
@@nicknuwe late reply, but would you be able to list some of the instruments used?

Oh look at Ratchet. Breaking those creates and anything other small objects. Showing no regard for public property.

Too compressed...
