Good! I can test j2b files now!!
Wow its true now.
btw there is no Continue for loop. :-/
I’m sure this was a useful program back in the day but nowadays it’s inferior to OpenMPT. If you want to listen to J2B and PSM files easily, I’d suggest downloading XMPlay and its OpenMPT plug-in which supports both Jazz Jackrabbit music formats and many more.
Its great!Now I can play j2b files!Sorry for my bad english!
[Review changed to quick review, see the review rules ~cooba]
imo this was pleasing to listen to :D gj or sth!
Lord in heaven. You guys are all way too nice…
Haunted.it is one of the least remixed songs in all of Jazz Jackrabbit history, so I loaded this track eager for a good, rousing rendition of the scary ghost song.
Unfortunately, all I got was a recital by a couple of strings and the wind instrument section of the orchestra.
That was really unfortunate, since this was a great opportunity to make a neglected song such as this one truly shine. Dr. Eggman’s overture (I call it that in keeping with the orchestral thema) only used a small handful of instruments, most of which sounded like the ones from the original song itself. I didn’t hear a particularly fulfilling bassline. The percussion section was interesting at first, but quickly grew dreary. The organ didn’t appear until a little over two minutes into the song, and by then it was the end. No ominous low notes came into play. The oboe/clarinet/whatever was done to death. The whole song seemed to be light and airy, which is the polar opposite of what a spooky, goosebump song should be.
I was so disappointed, because this could’ve been such a great song. Instead, I was let down in a major way.
Now, I really do hate to be so critical and negative towards anybody, so I’ll point out for your benefit that the song WAS pretty clean and didn’t have any (particularly) ugly samples. There were no detuned instruments, and certain channels didn’t drown others out in the process of playing. Believe it or not, it’s not easy to get channels to sound this good (take it from one who knows)!
Sadly, clean channels just aren’t worth what they used to be.
5.9, and I just can’t bring myself to recommend this for downloading. Sorry, man. I really hate to do this.
But I am anyway.
Okay. That was the word that kept appearing in my mind as I put Dr. Eggman’s song on and prepared my review. The song was okay. No serious gaffes or ugly channels, no bad samples or clunky spots. It was okay.
But “okay” was all that it was.
It seemed a bit slow at parts, like the same patterns were repeating over and over again, with a slightly changed line or a different instrument each time. Call me overly critical (or even hypocritical, if you’ve listened to some of my earlier songs), but did it sound to anyone else like the same thing was repeating? For a four-minutes-and-change song, excessive repetition is never a good thing. Once through was more than enough for me. And it didn’t even GO all the way through, since about halfway through, it just stopped. Went to the next track.
The main basic notes of Marbelara also seemed to get a bit lost in the mix.
That being said, all of the samples worked well together, and if I skipped over the repetitive parts, it was actually a really cool song. Even though it wasn’t terribly original, the melody of Marbelara still poked through at strategic spots, just enough to remind the listener that it was there. I do wish though that more than a few seconds of the original Marbelara song had been utilized.
So, in the end what is my final verdict? My biggest issues with this song were its monotony and its incongruity with the original JJ1 song. My biggest compliments were its nice samples and its lack of gruesomeness.
However, good samples and a clean track do not a good remix make.
6.7. Download only if you really want to.
Pretty darn good. The middle part was a little off-key to me, but the rest was pretty spiffy.
And master Luigi Elettrico back with his new remixes…
Very good one, I still listening it! ;)
Keep remixing…
I used this one to get the bonus2 tune, and that worked perfectly. it got my attention on a file I never saw before though: maz_phobia_edit.j2b. it had very strange speed changes, but that may just be because of the conversion. the music seems out of place, but it’s j2b so I assume it used to be ingame. anyone know more about that?
EEE great job with this one!
I can finally convert White Hare!
Excellent program, I’ve been looking for a way to get the last few tracks into a format that I can convert to mp3, thanks a ton for making this!
It was incredibly easy to use and incredibly useful for my specific needs!
Anyone who wants a good program to listen to these in, I understand that .IT, .XM and .S3M aren’t regular sound files, you can use WinAMP to listen to these files alone, but there are programs that were made to create and play these, ModPlug Tracker, Scream Tracker and Impulse Tracker.
These programs can also export to formats playable in regular Music Players, such as iTunes.
I recommend finding ModPlug Tracker, and opening the converted files in there, you can then export it to a .WAV file (you can also .MP3, but that is very low quality, wav is recommended) and then use another program, such as Audacity, to convert the WAV to an MP3 :).
(I know this is an old release, but looking at how recent the comments date, who knows, somebody might find this somewhat helpful in the near future)
Very good converter!!!
Winamp can’t play it correctly, but MPT and WMPlayer play it normally!
Thx! Before I download it, I always record jazz2 songs in cooledit :D
Colony and Carrotus don’t play correctly.
Uh oh…! It converts sucessfully the music, but we can hear a strange sound when listening to 1Valntin.it (converted from 1Valntin.j2b)! That strange beeping sound goes with the music rythim, so this is may a pattern error! Please try to convert yourself this file, and listen it! (Jazz Unleashed Demo in J2O have this music file)
It’s like the original music, but this beeping is “destroys the music’s enjoyable part”!
Very very useful program for people who make levels.
P.S:I listened it in winamp.
Download Recommendation: YES
The problem with Winamp is that it sometimes can’t “read” all the samples of the converted files (that’s why they sometimes sound awful), but there should be no problem with MPT or Jazz2.
very nice but :/
i looked for a (it,xm,s3m,mod) to j2b converter … if anybody know plz tel me =d
There is a prog converting any mod to j2b, just search for mod2j2b
Nice, but what program should I use? WinAmp only works with a few, and the rest sound awful, even the ones that are supposed to work!!!
What program would you recommend?
(Unsupported rating (8.5) removal. ~Violet)
Is there a converter that can convert any music file into J2B files?
mod2j2b doesn’t work with MP3 files.
Eggman, could you make a converter that takes XM, or IT files into J2B files. That way we can use them in costum levels?
