The Lonely Detective (Extended Module Version)
----------------------------------------------

Creation Date  :  2009-07-04
Current Version:  v2.20 (2022-12-04)
Duration       :  4:40

Playback       :  XMPlay / OpenMPT (because of Stereo Samples)
--------------------------------------------------------------

  This  music  is  part  of a  serie  I have  originally done in 2009 for
 Retro64's  game "Hidden Identity : Chicago Blackout".

  This version (remade in 2022) is an attempt to recreate the soundtrack
 as a definitive IT module, making it sounding almost like the original.

  All original tracks have been composed to be 2-minutes and looping.
 I have extended this one to loop 2 times with minor variations for the
 second loop.

 Samples were made from SoundFonts and VSTi.

   This  module should have  not existed.  I started it because I lost my
 final  files of  the original released  tracks after a HDD crash, and I
 needed  to have a complete version again, but also wanted to see if I was
 able to  achieve a  similar result on module, meaning only with samples.

  And I am  actually quite  satisfied with the final result ! This is very
 close  to the  original. The most  challenging  part was to reproduce the
 global  reverb effects  that were  applied on tracks, and I did a tedious
 work  to preprocess all  necessary samples  to get what makes that subtle
 touch for this melancholic music.

  I also  needed to  reduce the samples  to a more reasonable size without
 loosing  too much of  quality as it  was over 67 MB at some point, taking
 full  benefit  of 16-bit  stereo  samples ...  Thus  I  downsampled some
 to 8-bit and/or _ 22 KHz (or less).  9 MB as final size seems quite nice!


  In  the  end, I found back the originals lying deep on an obscure backup
 disk (yes!)  but still  completed  this module as it was already well in
 progress.  However,  I don't think  I will  proceed to convert the other
 tracks to modules (I'd better focus on new stuff maybe ?!)


  I hope you will enjoy this special one.
