Do you mean cutting out the music and then removing the voices and sound FX? If so, than please go right ahead!! But I don't mind ripping the music w/ voices and sound FX myself, since it helps me memorize the music and where it's played, so I'll most likely be doing that myself for the whole series no matter what.
I could remove voices and sound FX, but how? What do you use to do that sort of thing?

I'm not totally sure. I haven't gotten that far in my mastery of music and digital audio. I know there's lots of good software out there, and a couple of people here on this forum that could probably give you the answer you're looking for.

Cool! Thanks for the MIDI. By the way, I added the BGM for episode 2 (19 Individual Pieces / 13 Recycled Pieces) to the first post.

I like the music in Kai. Though sometimes I think it's repetitive and kinda sounds like something from Pokemon.

I've noticed some things about two of the BGM pieces from the new score:

Does anyone else hear a similarity between the Piccolo meets Raditz theme from episode one (Goku and Piccolo theme from the end of episode two) [DBK_BGM_006] and the SSj3 Goku/Gogeta theme from the FUNi dub of DBZ movie 12? Here's the clip of the SSj3 Goku/Gogeta theme, and here's the chorus line looped.

And...

I enjoyed this episode. The music was really good.[/quote]
Yeah, I also really like this piece (DBK_BGM_018 in my documentation). It really sounds like something from Keiju Ishikawa (the composer who did the BGM for the Gaiden OVA); anyone else see the resemblance?

Not only this, but these two pieces do sound pretty similar on their own; and are probably variations of each other.

Hey sorry guys! I've been busy with life and I'm a bit out of the loop with Dragonball in general. I will start getting the BGMs for Kai episode 3 today, and perhaps have them completed tonight or Wednesday night. Again, I apologize and I dropped the ball.

PS: Does anyone even care? Really.

@ Forgotten Hero: Awesome! No hurry, but I can't wait. And no problem about how fast your getting them out.
I CARE!!! :P
Thank you sir! :wink:

Rambo:

Don't worry if it seems like people aren't paying attention. Keep chugging along - more people will appreciate your work when Kai gets further on and its music becomes fully ingrained into their psyches. I think it's very admirable that you know the pieces by now well enough to recognize the repeats. Whenever I start a BGM documentation for a new series (DragonBall isn't the only one), I always find it awfully overwhelming having to memorize everything, especially when they throw alternates at me, where the difference is so subtle that I wind up incorrectly identifying it through several episodes before I pick up on it, and have to go back and correct all the mistakes.
It's just the cross BGM fans of ANY anime have to bear. The music forum is terribly overlooked as it is, and threads about the *instrumental* music are even more scarce (it's usually dominated by threads about the vocal songs, which get way too much attention already if you ask me; and threads about music from the video games, which I don't follow and therefore don't really care about. So you can understand my personal frustration, as I understand yours).

What, pray tell, is wrong with Pokemon music?
BGM forever! If only more people paid attention to it... well, I intend to change that.

Well I can't speak for Budokai23, sometimes the dub score is a bit blah, especially in 4Kids's later seasons. As for the original Japanese score though, it's consistantly great IMO, other than when they were constantly using "Pokémon Symphonic Medley" innapropriately. :P

Anyway, Rambo, I'm LOVING your Kai music info.

Ah yes. My mistake; working on low sleep isn't always the best way to do things. Thank you very much for pointing this out!!

Hey, while getting DBK episode 3 BGM's done, I found this little BGM but it wasn't listed on SSj_Rambo's BGM list. What is it?

Well, it seems to be a piece that I missed. I haven't gotten around to doing my double-checking of episode 3 (since I usually double-check as I'm doing the next episode, and I'm in the middle of aquiring the audio for episode 4), but since that piece is so short, I might have missed it again, so thanks for pointing it out and supplying me with a nice handy .mp3 version!! Many thanks! :D

No sweat! What would the name be? If I know, then I can include it in the torrent.
Episode 4 will be out tomorrow, and I plan on crunching through the episode's BGMs tomorrow.

Dragonball Kai Episode 3 BGM Track
Did & Didn't
~ Made MP3's of all the different BGM's in DBK 3
~ I did not make MP3's for...
-DBK_BGM_Kai ~The First Kai Promo Image~
-DBK_BGM_DSoul ~First Opening~
-DBK_BGM_CreditA ~The Sponsor Credits (beginning)~
-DBK_BGM_Break ~First Ending~
-DBK_BGM_CreditB ~The Sponsor Credits (end)~
...because they are all generic, do not have any difference (so far) from any other episode, and the MP3's are available in this thread. By the way, Dragon Soul is on sale, thus I will not provide it.
