Something I noticed about Toriel's theme (Kinda spoilers?)

[ThatOneGuy]

The track "fallen down" AKA: The theme where you 1st see Toriel is played on a faster speed in-game than the game's OST.

If you change the in-game track's speed and pitch both by -15 % in Audacity, it sounds a bit more close than the OST version.

If there's any other changes/difference's you can hear with other themes, I guess you could list them.

Well there's a lot of points in the game where songs that play normally are replayed at different speeds. The dog and snowy amalgamates, the main menu after hearing Flowey's reset speech, several moments in the Alphys date, several moments in genocide have normal songs slowed down until you can't recognize them, and of course geno slows down all the area musics.

But I'm not aware of any others that don't play the way they do in the soundtrack at least once.

"Snowy" and "Death by Glamour" also play faster in the soundtrack than they do in the game.

Not sure why.

Maybe because you're not looking at stuff moving in the game? No distractions so they speed up the music. I think it makes sense.

You might want to explain, as that didn't make any sense at all.

My bad, I'm not so sure then.

I do not hear the difference between Snowy from the game (defualt speed), and the OST version. Are you killing enemies? Because I think that slows the theme down.

I also do not hear any difference with Death by Glamour, either.

You should check and compare them together.

I can definitely tell the difference in Death by Glamour and Fallen Down. Snowy, I can't hear a speed difference.

My guess is that for those songs, they were originally composed at the soundtrack speed but Toby decided that the tone he wanted in the game was better served by changing the speed a bit. For Mettaton I guess slowing it down made it more dramatic instead of actiony, and for Snowy more pensive. Not sure why he changed Toriel.

Unless my hearing is wrong, I havent really listened that much for these, but the theme played when fighting the !!!!SPOILERS DONT READ PAST THIS IF YOU DONT WANT GAME SPOILED YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!! disformed snow bird (forgot its name, im half asleep ) in the true laboratory is literally just the same theme as the regular snow area except its way slower and it is a bit higher pitched and warped; all being effects from audio editing. Hope this helps a bit

That's one of the ones I listed, yes. The true lab version of Dogsong is also very slowed down, and I presume the "music" during the bulk of the fight with the dog is just something slowed down until it's unrecognizable (possibly Dogsong).

Toby changed the pitch of each sped up/slowed down OST. Coming from a fellow game developer. :P

[ThatOneGuy]

Checked Death by glamour thru OST and internally thru game files.

It's very minor, around 2 seconds slower. Gotta have good ears to notice it.

[R3sistance]

Undertale changes the speed of many tracks throughout for various reasons. For example dog song is played at a faster speed during a certain event than it would normally be played at.

[ThatOneGuy]

I do know that, since that's how most of the Genocide versions of the themes are made.

I just find it odd that they choice different speeds for the OST versions of the songs, very noticble with Toriel's theme, but not for anything else, it seems.

[ThatOneGuy]

I decided to try out a save that's at Mettaton, and the Death by Glamour theme is slowed down thru the game itself, not internally.

I'd say it's around 7-8 percent slower? I need to somehow find out how to record audio playing from the PC itself.
