This was all recorded through DirectMusic Producer, after setting that program up, loading the segment files (sgt or sgp) and inserting the game's custom "FF8.DLS" (~7,87 MB) and letting that soundbank overwrite everything. Is this accurate, and how it should sound ingame? I don't know.

The music tracks were recorded with one-time looping. For accuracy, I always restarted DirectMusic Producer for each track, as I noticed it can otherwise produce weird behavior, like certain sequenced tracks not registering/sounding sometimes through play and/or messing with the tempo, and then mysterious, unexpected crashes.

There are only 4 XG ones in it, which were most likely intended for playback on an XG capable device: 001xg-win.sgt, 005xg-Battle.sgt, 013xg-Battle2.sgt, 047xg-Kaiso.sgt - these do not automatically attempt to load the "FF8.DLS" collection. Instead of that, I recorded these into MIDIs and played back with the Yamaha MU500 too in both GM and XG mode (this is not included in the video, but available in the music archive).

Certain tracks also don't automatically enforce to load "FF8.DLS" (the game's custom soundbank), so they may only use the basic MS synth for playback - these are the safe ones one could use the ripped GM MIDIs for as is, without any special instrument or drumset being involved. I also recorded those separately with only that, but also with the custom soundbank (which sounds better IMHO, and is what I use in the video).

There are two special cases: "Eyes On Me" is a WAV file and the track numbered as "043" and named as "concert" is in 8 separate files, I mixed all those into one track to make it more suitable for recording, rather than messing around trying to get the timing right from 8 recorded audio files. Finally, the "1-01 Liberi Fatali" and "4-11 Ending Theme" are missing, likely because they are baked into the FMV.
