Slip's Music Database: MapleStory BGM & OST Collection

[maplefreak26]

@Slip
JMS' "Red Thread of Fate" & GMS' "Masteria of Time" blockbuster soundtracks come from the NECORD Music label by Asteria and distributed by A&G Modes, rather than StudioEIM/Wizet/Nexon.
Vocals are done (in both blockbuster soundtracks) by an artist called EUNTO(은토).

Both the blockbuster soundtracks are available on Amazon, Google Play, iTunes, and on Spotify.
They've also provided the instrumental versions of the songs with vocals, and the proper names for the songs.

They're uploaded now. I was waiting for the official patch, but I don't think they'll make any more changes.

very odd and specific request I know, but can you rip the ambient noise that plays in the laser-avoiding segment of Act 3 of Heroes of Maple?

Is this what you're looking for? Link

I haven't played through HoM myself, so I relied on a video for the ID.

knew there was something fishy about this.
It's a diminished fifth. every fourth bump is lower than the rest. the file is longer than it should be, as it plays its repeating sections exactly three-and-a-half times before it loops, creating an eccentric rhythm. and there's weird stuff in the upper frequencies.
idunno.

An update on the recent YouTube videos: it seems that Nexon has opted into content ID and is now taking down BGMs (or maybe they're doing it manually). Several of my videos have been blocked due to copyright (see above posts).

This was always a fear of mine, but I can at the very least rest easily knowing that I did not monetize any of the videos for profit, as I don't own any of the material.

As for the future of this project, I'm unsure how I should proceed. I would love to continue, but that would likely involve hosting the BGMs directly, and I currently do not have the resources for that. I'd be up for revamping the website that I've had for a while now (maplebgm.com) and making the collection less YouTube dependent.

Suggestions and ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I tought they taked it down due to they change the place where the music set place, basically Tower of Nightmare switched place with the Lacheln Town, so you could uptate rightly now, would nexon take off other videos of yours?
nvm i was wrong, but i guess with a site you wouldn't have any future problem with strikes.

Seems like Nexon is trying to make BGMs become a source of revenue for them (seeing as how they're now selling the music on various services). I think they might come after self-hosted BGMs (if they get wind of that) since that would technically be piracy.. in a way? They posted all the BGMs from Arcane River on their YouTube channel (and the HD versions of the animations), and I bet they would start selling them soon internationally within the next couple weeks. (They seem to sell all their BGMs in Korea and cherry pick ones to sell internationally (and given the extremely positive response to the Lächeln BGMs, I wouldn't doubt for a second they're already working on that)).

Slip's videos were removed by NECORD. This is Nexon's own brand which was launched a few months ago. As a record label, they publish original soundtracks of several of Nexon games.
They are definitely using the special tools (Content ID) given by YouTube to search duplicate entries.

Well that kind of sucks. Shouldn't fair use kick in though?

How is it "fair use"?
It's copyrighted material. If the copyright owner doesn't want us to be able to listen to it whenever we want, that's their right. It sucks, but it's their right.

Could be wrong but I thought fair use was the ability to use something if it wasn't for profit or claiming that it was your own. I could be thinking of something else.

It is, but only if the use is necessary for something other than the basic function of the copyrighted item.
For example, if you're doing a review of Maple music, you can play bits and pieces of it to demonstrate a point.
But if putting the entire soundtrack up for people to listen to for free, when the copyright holder wants people to pay to listen to it, is "fair use", then "sharing" any copyrighted item becomes allowed, and copyright means nothing.

I have contacted Necord and Nexon about the copyright issue, and I'll provide an update to the situation when I get a reply. All of the content belongs to them, so I will honor their final decision regardless.
