Hello!
The HRP SC-55 music (duke3d_music-sc55.zip) is encoded in rather low quality OGGs which can be a bit harsh on the ears when using quality headphones. Is this music available in lossless encoding (such as FLAC)?
I'm specifically interested in barmusic_voc.ogg, which is not available as a MIDI anywhere, and therefore cannot be easily recreated.
Thank you for any info on this!

Thanks for your reply! I also found this page shortly after posting, but can't find the *_voc. files on there (https://sc55.duke4.n...e3d_flac_v4.zip does not contain barmusic_voc.ogg and others which were not MIDIs originally). Any other place I can look?
After some more digging around, I found that this track (barmusic_voc.ogg) comes from a commercial OST release and is composed by Lee Jackson himself. It's actual name is "Mortail Wombat (BARMUSIC.VOC) [ARRANGE VERSION]". Info about the release is available here: https://ralfcasino.c...ve/t-91232.html
Excerpt:
Release date: 2010.11.14
Label: 3D REALMS / GT Interactive Software
Music composed by: Mark 'TDK' Knight (DISC1 - 03, 04, 08~14 / DISC2 - 2, 4~10, 12, 15, 17, 18)
Lee Jackson (DISC1 - 01, 02, 05~07, 15 / DISC2 - 01, 03, 11, 13, 14, 16)
Arranged by: Mark 'TDK' Knight
Unfortunately, this release (in good quality) seems to have disappeared from the internet, not being available to buy or download anywhere...
If anyone has any further info on this, please reply!

Ok, I figured it out with a bit of help from Brandon Blume.
That release above is not a follow-up game OST, it IS the PSX game disc. The original source of HRP's barmusic_voc.ogg can be ripped directly from the PSX game disc of Duke Nukem - Total Meltdown.
For those curious the original is contained in XA_2:Track 8, is 4:48 long and sampled at 37800Hz / 16bit.
