Lanky Kong?! I'll take a look at the SFX! It looks amazing!

[WesternTanager794]

Just curious, does anyone have the sfx for DKC3 Krumple kill waterfall version? Thanks in advance!

Did you meant Krimp? Here you go

The Krumple kill on waterfall doesn't exist as long as I checked and compared.

[WesternTanager794]

I think they might have the same sfx. Thanks so much, though! I completely forgot about that project I was working on!

Hey, Cody? I'm still waiting for all the GBC and GBA Donkey Kong Country 1-3 sound effects to be posted. Are you still planning on doing that?

Last I heard, Cody permanently peaced.

I've ripped all of the SFX from the original trilogy into SPC format. (474 sounds, some repeated from different games) You can convert to WAV or other format into any sample rate with whatever interpolation you desire.

Sound effects are organized by the following with filenames beginning with the game they come from:
ambience_... - background ambience such as jungle crickets, cave droplets, ship noises, waterfalls, etc.
boss_... - sfx exclusive to boss battles
effect_... general sfx like explosions, splashes, and effects that don't fit elsewhere
ending_... ending cutscene related sfx
enemy_... enemy related sound effects (death yells, footsteps, actions, etc)
gui_... sfx related to menus, huds, and misc screens
item_... sfx from collecting bananas, coins, and other items
npc_... sfx from non playable Kongs, Klubba, Banana Birds, etc
objects_... sfx from crates, barrels, minecarts, etc
player_... sfx related to the playable Kongs and animal buddies

map_... dkc3 exclusive sfx related to the overworld and submaps
banana_bird_cave_... dkc3 exclusive sfx related to the secret caves

Looping sfx filenames end with _loop which do not have timing tags so you'll have to loop them manually. This was done because unlike music, its not clear where sfx loops truly begin. With multi-channel ambiences, you actually have distinct sounds playing in unison which may never merge together perfectly even if it sounds like it looped.

Use foobar2000 (with Game Emu Player), Winamp (SNESamp), or whatever other player supports converting SPC files. Hopefully this ends the search for these sfx once and for all.

V2 update:
-better filename organization
-all sound effects from V1 remain
-note: there are some duplicate sfx from multiple games

[Simion32]

What an enormous amount of work. Oh my.

My WinAMP setup seems to play the DKC1 sound effects back at a different rate from the original game. Are you sure the files are properly tagged?

EDIT: It's almost like the DKC1 SPCs play back too fast, but with the correct pitch.

EDIT2: I've used the little-known SNESAMP control dialog to mess with the tempo manually, which can be used as a temporary workaround, but I don't know if the setting will stick for WinAMP-driven audio file outputs (I've never done that with WinAMP before and will likely just record straight from the computer audio).
-----------------------------------------------

This will make doing DKCLB a lot easier, but I'll have to get out an audio converter to do the conversions, since DELTA's audio system cannot accept SPC as a sound effects format (though it can use SNESAMP to play SPCs just fine, there are technical limitations since there has to be one SNESAMP DLL per item being played, and having enough of those to play in-game sound effects simultaneously would be a programming trainwreck!).

Oh, and while I'm on the topic of DELTA, I just finished the audio list editors about a week ago. I found a complex threading memory crash which was responsible for some of the really bad audio crashes. I still can't get the blasted thing to open MINIUSF, which just crashes for some reason (and it worked before my move to Windows 10/11). I won't be providing active support for plugins but I'd at least like to see USF along with SPC for plugin music capability.

[!!!!!]

I've completed a WAV pack of the DKC Trilogy sfx collection.

The format is similar to the previous SPC upload except for the following:
-SPCs have been converted to 96khz WAVs (cubic interpolation) before being downsampled to 48khz for editing.
-All WAVs have been tagged with "_LOOP" and "_ONESHOT" to more clearly designate their type.
-All sfx have optimized lengths (immediately removed silence after sfx ends)
-I've removed as many duplicate sfx as possible. there may be a few duplicate sfx that I missed.
-All looping sfx have been cut short and should loop properly.
-Some sfx in DKC were extremely loud so I lowered the volumes of those particular sfx to balance them with the rest of the collection.
-Some ambience sfx have been split due to different parts having different loop positions. (e.g., Klomp Romp sfx has waves and 2 different boat creaking loops, DKC2 ending combines wind and waves)
-Certain ambiences that were not originally considered looping sfx have been shortened for looping.

Enjoy!

[Simion32]

After several days of tinkering with the SFX to build a DKCLB-compatible FLAC set, I've found just a few SFX that seem to be missing:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DKC1
krash's minecart moving sfx (completely missing)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DKC2
"clunka-clunka-clunka" sound when opening a bonus door (completely missing)
tire "bounce down" sfx (completely missing)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DKC3
the other "player tag" variant, switching to Dixie (completely missing)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I'm not as sharp on my DKC3 sound effects knowledge compared to DKC1/2 though.

[!!!!!]

You're right about the DKC Krash sfx, I barely even noticed there were multiple minecart sounds.

DKC2:
Breaking down a bonus door (using Rambi in pirate panic) uses "dkc2_effect_explosion".

DKC3:
Player tag variant uses the original "dkc2_player_tag" sound with "dkc3_gui_loselife" cutting into the sound effect partway. I believe this might have been one of the first sfx I tried capturing as an SPC with issues because I didn't realize they were actually 2 separate sound effects.

v1.01:
Added the following:
-"dkc2_object_tire_bounce_down_ONESHOT"
-"dkc_enemy_krash_minecart_LOOP"
-"dkc3_player_enguarde_hurt_ONESHOT" (same sfx as dkc2 but slightly repitched)

I know the DKC2 explosion is used, but there's actually a rarely heard SFX that plays alongside the explosion, probably I remember hearing it in one of the woods levels.

I managed to figure out the DKC3 thing before you posted, but thanks for clearing that one up.

Here's a ZIP with a few more that you missed, so that it's clear which sounds I'm talking about:

I know it's hard to hear, but in any case it should be included in the set for completion's sake.

[Simion32]

So I've been inspired by !!!!!'s work and would like to expand on this topic to include DK64 sound effects.

I'm working on a full set, but since there are just over 1100 sounds to rename etc etc, I'd like to deliver a small sample of the sfx now while I gather time to work on this.

This one includes SFX that are music tracks, along with a host of SFX gathered from Ballaam's youtube rip. In total 62 rather useful sounds.

Oh, and the format is FLAC. If you need WAVs you can just use a converter.

I'll be working on a full set as time allows, but this may take a while for me to churn through.

EDIT: Updated the music based tracks to remove ending silence.
There's no way to automate removing the silence as emulation artifacts block silence detection!!

I managed to catch the bonus door SFX!! Found by one of Ghostly Grove's bonuses.

I recorded the audio from bsnes, should be relatively pure.

Here's a release while I find a good way to upload the much more space-consuming FLAC version...

EDIT: Updated to remove the weird duplicate naming. Made the misc section last by adding a 'z' to the beginning of the category name.

I tried my best to document as many sound effects as possible, but a lot of them are hard to identify.

The biggest sound effects I need from the GBC and GBA versions of Donkey Kong Country 1 at the moment are the "Extra Life Balloon" sound effect and the "Bonus Room Open" sound effect. Can someone please upload them?
