This is a mod for the 3DS version of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, replacing the OST from the N64 version.


== Majora-Mask-N64-OST-to-3DS ==
It is made after completing [https://www.zeldix.net/t791-the-legend-of-zelda-a-link-to-the-past MSU-1 pack for A Link to the Past], with help from [https://github.com/qwertymodo qwertymodo] converting the original soundtrack from ALTTP to .pcm in order to fix the music from cutting out when multiple sounds are playing. Turns out Majora's Mask music is in .bcstm format (basically .pcm) which led to this project.


The 3DS version of Majora's Mask has terrible amounts of reverb; compared to the original soundtrack, a lot of the songs just sound wrong. I set out to fix this by replacing the 3DS OST with N64 rips.

==User guide==
===Songs that cannot be replaced===
* 130NA_BGM_STAFFROLL2.dspadpcm.wav and 130NA_BGM_STAFFROLL2.dspadpcm_1.wav can't be replaced because they're not in the original rips.
* NA_BGM_M_BARQUARTET.wav while replacing that is possible, it didn't sound very good and it was left unchanged.
* The shop music, boat ride, milk bar, and minigame music are mono and sound like they're playing out of a radio.
** For some reason porting the originals causes extreme audio bugs and sometimes crashes, even when converted to mono.
** And the rest are just sound effects.


The shop music, boat ride, milk bar, and minigame music are mono and sound like they're playing out of a radio. For some reason unbeknownst to me. Porting the originals causes extreme audio bugs and sometimes crashes, even when converted to mono. If anyone can solve this mystery, I'll try and put them back in.
===Editing process===
The following tools are used for making this mod:
* [https://www.audacityteam.org Audacity].
* [https://www.image-line.com/flstudio Fl Studio].
* [https://www.foobar2000.org Foobar2000].
* [https://github.com/libertyernie/LoopingAudioConverter/releases Looping Audio Converter].
* Ears.


&quot;130NA_BGM_STAFFROLL2.dspadpcm.wav&quot; and &quot;130NA_BGM_STAFFROLL2.dspadpcm_1.wav&quot; can't be replaced because they're not in the original rips.
If you want to play these files back you need Foobar2000 and [https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_input_vgmstream vgmstream decoder.]


&quot;NA_BGM_M_BARQUARTET.wav&quot; While I can replace this, it didn't sound very good as I had to cut the entire song off half way, it sounded bad to me so I didn't do it.
Process for editing the files in v2.0 went as follows.


The rest are just sound effects.
Pre edits:
* Convert 3DS .bcstm files to .wav using foobar and place them in a folder called 3dswav.
* Convert .miniusf rips to .wav using foobar and place them in a folder called 64wav.
* Open Audacity and drag all the 64wav files into it.
* CTRL + A to select all and change tempo to 6.1 to match the speed of the 3DS rip.
* Export multiple into a folder called 64sped.


=== Tools used ===
Edit edits:
 
* Drag single 3DSwav file followed by the matching 64sped file.
* [https://www.audacityteam.org Audacity]
* Check hh:mm:ss + miliseconds to find the exact time of the miniusf rip now that it's sped up.
* [https://www.image-line.com/flstudio Fl Studio]
* Open the slow 64wav rip in FL Studio and normalize if the waveform is too small.
* [https://www.foobar2000.org Foobar2000]
* Time stretch / pitch shifter then put length as exact miliseconds.
* [https://github.com/libertyernie/LoopingAudioConverter/releases Looping Audio Converter]
* Export.
* my ears
* Drag this new rip into the same Audacity window as before.
 
* Find loop points (if there are any) and put them into loop.txt.
=== Playback ===
* If anything clips fix it.
 
* Click the [x]s on the other rips and leave only this new edited rip.
If you want to play these files back you need Foobar2000 and [https://www.foobar2000.org/components/view/foo_input_vgmstream vgmstream decoder]
* Export at 32000hz .wav with metadata removed and then convert to .bcstm using Looping Audio Converter.
