About this mod

MOD DESCRIPTION:
For nostalgic (and valid) reasons, many have complained about the music in the Purgatory Bar of ME3, wishing it had music like in similar areas of previous Mass Effect games. With these files you'll be able to change that, according to one of four choices of music:
PS: I know the music from FLUX (ME1 Citadel) is missing... maybe I'll get there later.
Here's a showcase vid (thanks GagaHax!), in this case using the Dark Star music:
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Inside the .ZIP file you download, there are detailed and easy "step-by-step" install instructions (and with ilustrations, to make it even easier).
You also need ME3Explorer to implement the music files into Mass Effect 3.
NOTE: PLEASE USE ME3EXPLORER v108w (r632)
This is an older version which still has the import function and no issues when saving the files. Newer versions won't work.
If that direct link for the particular (older) version of ME3Explorer doesn't work, you can download it from HERE.
Scroll down, look for the file called "ME3Explorer Stable Release v108w_r632" (released in 16 April 2014). Download it and unzip it to an empty folder.
All you need then is to follow the easy "step-by-step" instructions (with ilustrations) in the .PDF file provided with this music mod.

For more details on the audio files...
- Spec-wise, these are in 16-bit Stereo, 24KHz sample rate.
- As the game forces audio effects inside the Purgatory Bar (extra reverbs, low-pass filters, etc), all these musics had to be (re)mastered a little for this specific purpose, so that the volume level and overall EQ matches the original music in that regard (to fit game convos, have similar low-freqs, etc).
- They have been converted to the specific format that the WWise sound-engine requires for them to work in ME3. What mean with this is, while their file extension is .WAV, they're not the regular format (it is not readable in a media player!).
I hope you enjoy it. :)
Cheers!
