Clean rip of the track also known as 'Final Triumph ~Dan Dan Kokoro Hikarete 'ku' from the Tokunaga score of Dragon Ball GT. This is a remake of a similar video that I made back in 2020 and will be my final attempt.
Background:
Hello there folks! Here it is, my final ever rip (but not video) on this channel. I promised that it would be a banger and I believe that I have delivered. How fitting that this track is called 'Final Triumph' because that is what this is, my final triumph at the end of what has been a tremendous journey for me over these past few years with this channel. I'll go into more detail on how I made this in a bit but for now I just want to say that I have decided the date that I will be officially leaving: the 3rd of April, my three year anniversary since I began here. I am going to be uploading one final video on that day unrelated to ripping which will be my last interaction with this channel before I head out. But before that, I am going to be uploading a tutorial next Sunday showing how I make these rips for those who want to continue what I have started (it will have my real voice :0). I will also make a post on here and on Kanzenshuu with a link to all of the files that I have released throughout the years to make them more accessible so watch out for that.
So there were five segments of this rip that are different to my 2020 attempt, these being at 1:13, 1:28-1:34, 1:42-1:45, 2:19-2:30 and some minor clean up at the very end at 2:53. The voice that could be heard at 1:13 was removed using Ultimate Vocal Remover. 1:28-1:34 was also made with a lot of trial and error using UVR, Spleeter and ISSE. I could not get it completely clean but it is a vast improvement compared to last time, it's as good as it can possibly be currently. The same goes for 1:42-1:45, spent a lot of time on this part. Unfortunately some notes from the track were lost but all of the vocals are gone so at least that's something. The biggest improvement overall was the removal of the Oozaru roar at 2:19-2:30. I was never happy with this part in my 2020 attempt, to the point where I just refused to listen to the track anymore because I was so mad about it. It's the main reason why I came back to this track which ended up being a brilliant idea as I was able to use the experience that I've gained since then to give it more polish. Truthfully it ended up being the easiest of the three middle segments to edit as I only used ISSE. It just took a lot of experimenting with to get a better result. Still not completely clean but in comparison to 2020 I've kept all of the music intact and gotten rid of practically all of the Oozaru reverb that was present before, I'm very happy with it. For the very end, I just removed some of the static that could be heard at 1:53 onwards using ISSE, wasn't too difficult. All in all I spent about 2-3 months making this, what a way to go out! 😅
So yeh, that's it. I've provided links to download the track below but the unfortunate thing about this one is that because of the very end being very loud, to avoid damaging the waveforms I've decided to release a quieter version along with the regular file. This is the one marked 'Fully Lossless Version' and it is for those that want to maintain as much quality as possible. The original is the same volume as my 2020 version and at least for me is more pleasing audibly but I've included both versions regardless. Thank you all for stopping by, hope you enjoyed my final ever rip! ;)
