Video Games Mixes Cue Lists

Disclaimer: Here is a list of some Cue Lists I've made. I added the time codes manually, therefore they might be mistaken but they were tested and should be fine. There is no audio file to get there just the cue lists you can use for your needs.

pod gold

A game I cannot forget especially for its sound track music. This cue list was made extremely precise, hence the very sharp millisecond values. On a mix I don't care to go that precise but here I wished to. It corresponds to the rip of the original game but cleaned from the noise and silence in the beginning of the track (67 ms removed).

[00:00.000] Intro
[00:14.192] Chapitre 1
[01:57.221] Interlude 1
[02:19.314] Chapitre 2A
[04:01.390] Interlude 2
[04:09.491] Chapitre 2B
[05:36.432] Interlude 3
[05:50.641] Chapitre 3
[08:21.098] Interlude 4
[09:09.005] Chapitre 4
[11:19.192] Interlude 5
[12:28.016] Chapitre 5
[14:15.482] Outro
[14:39.307] Fin

As told earlier it was cut extremely precisely on Audacity. Of course the place of cut is rather subjective (one could have decided to cut at different moments) but when the decision was made it was even done at zero crossing points mostly.

Audacity allows it to memorise regions of a mix or single audio file.
To make things easier copy and paste the few line under this in a text file and you can import the regions I chose in Audacity. Just copy paste in notepad for instance

Bellow is a screenshot of what should be removed once you rip the sound track from the CD to comply with the cue list above.

The soundtrack of pod begins with an annoying noise. Just clean it and remove something like the first 67 ms.
Don't get me started on either the game or this soundtrack. I deeply love them.
