Yutaka Minobe - Contemplation

Here’s rip #3, pretty much done: Contemplation! A nice piece that played about 21 times in GX, first at the start of 46, and finally in 179 as Yugi and Judai prepare to duel.  Left in only 2 pieces of SFX (that footstep and Judai sighing), thanks to its use in 47 getting me the beginning (before Ojama Yellow has to–pardon the pun–butt in and cut it off) and its use in 164 (where Judai sighing comes from) getting me most of the end.  Enjoy!

(EDIT: Fixed up the track to get rid of those bits of SFX by using samples from 78 and 159 [after restoring it to its original B note, since it was higher-pitched].)

『遊☆戯☆王ARC-V SOUND DUEL 1』

Another one fresh off the presses! Presenting “A Sprung Trap”, first played at the start of episode 28, last played in 149 (when Amon attacks Yubel!Johan); all together, it played about 31 times in GX.  Had to leave in a grunt or two to keep it flowing (that mid part was hard to get intact), and I removed the vocals from 60’s sample (when Judai can’t see his cards) to get us that clear end.  Enjoy!

Also, as I post these on my Soundcloud, I’ll have downloads enabled for the week I post them, and then disabled after, since I want to release these all together. :P

(EDIT: Updated the track to get rid of what was left of the title card music in the beginning, and inserted some of the vocal-removed track [with some restored reverb] to replace the parts with said grunts)

Yutaka Minobe - A Close Call

Makin’ some headway on things!

So I finished my little unreleased-BGM spreadsheet and nabbed a few samples venomas6 hadn’t already sent me for this song, and got to work in Vegas today trying to snip the best parts I could use to get it with as little SFX as possible (rather than just vocal-remove and lose some of the instruments).  Thankfully, its clips in 51 and 143 helped with the ending (51 in particular chipped in for the very end), 93 for the beginning, and the other clips here and there.  This’ll probably be the final version I’ll use, having bumped up/lowered the volume here and there to make it sound more even, though it sucks that I can’t get those footsteps out of there. D:

[About the “Sound Duel 1.5” thing, that’s how I’ll eventually be releasing these rips (EDIT: I said this thinking Tumblr would show the album title lol).  Originally, I was going to make that and a 1.75 for the Season 3+ stuff, but making it a 2-disc thing would probably work better lol.  I’m also planning to include a bunch of the extended tracks I’ve made for stuff that’s been released, and some I’ll whip up for more of them and for these unreleased tunes.  Now, I do want to start working on GX Season 1 soon, so once things get a bit more stable IRL, I may do a tune or two in between each episode; we’ll see how it goes.]

This one played 24 times throughout GX (and yet none of them gave me a solid way to get the first few seconds completely dialogue-free lol).  One of my favorites, too.  Enjoy!
