New California Flashback - High Quality Classic Fallout Music

The soundtracks for both original games are taken directly from the original Redbook CDs! Basically classic Fallout ambient music, but better.

It can be used to replace the original ambient music, or as a supplement, and is available in two formats: lossy and lossy. The quality of the lossy format is still higher than classic Fallout ambient music!

oops......

Classic Fallout Ambient Music is a nice mod that can do something as basic as restoring a piece created by Mark Morgan, but there's one serious problem...

The source of these tracks are very poor quality pirated copies.

I (the original author KairiFey, the same below) is an audiophile and out of curiosity wanted to find out if "Vault Archives" was really an official release. It turned out that it was actually a pirated copy that just grabbed the recording extracted from the game, tried to make a fake high-quality effect, and added a cross-fade effect between the tracks.

In short, the man behind Vault Archives ended up destroying the soundtrack, and since it was the most accessible version of the original Fallout 1 and 2 soundtracks on the internet, people mistakenly thought it was an official release, and for some strange reason it's now considered to be in the public domain as well. Mark Morgan himself has clarified that Bethesda owns all Fallout-related content, including his musical compositions.

What advantages does my mod have over classic Fallout ambient music?

New California Flashback offers the following:

The songs are full length and completely free of crossfades.

Since the direct source is the official "Fallout 1" and "Fallout 2" CDs released by Interplay in 1997 and 1998 respectively, the picture quality is very clear.

If you are also an audiophile, you can choose to download the original soundtrack directly with lossless sound quality. ;)

Direct compatibility with classic Fallout ambient music and music mods has been merged. It has the same name and folder, and if you want, you can just replace the CFAM file with the NCF file and you're done.

This is a version of the "Prydwen Flyover with Metallic Monks" mod I made. That mod also used bootleg Vault Archives as a source, which ironically didn't use a crossfade effect on the track, so everything felt natural. It's 7 seconds longer, but the ending is smoother and less abrupt than the original mod.

The lossy version is an xwm file with a bitrate of 192 kBit. Based on my personal feedback from listening to xwm files in Audacity, I can say that they don't lose nearly as much quality as the uncompressed raw files.
