The discovery of those demos revealed working titles that had never been seen before for some songs. "Emo" is a fleshed out demo of "She Couldn't" that runs about 5:24 minutes, which is quite long for an Linkin Park song, created after Chester joined the band as evidenced by the appearance of the "Chazaaah" sample. "Siamo" is the Hybrid Theory EP version of "High Voltage" and "Rendezvo" is the original long version of "Technique". | The discovery of those demos revealed working titles that had never been seen before for some songs.

Running a trial of Akai's MPC Desktop software, fans were able to read the project files and see what samples are in the same set. The software is able to understand the .snd files and play them back at the right speed, e.g. Mike MPC 2.snd sounds like a drum break from "Cure For The Itch" in the software, but plays back at the wrong speed in Audacity. Additionally, the samples are edited to a certain length, but can be reset to be longer by altering the start/end times. Typically there's an .APS file and an .ALL file that go together with the same name. The .ALL files can be used to see MIDI data/sequencing and the BPM for a track - for example, "Oh No" displays 95 BPM. By loading the .APS files, it's possible to view the song mode and export what is in the song view. However, there may be instances where there is no song view or there are unused sequences (patterns) and some songs need to have the samples manually relinked. | Running a trial of Akai's MPC Desktop software, fans were able to read the project files and see what samples are in the same set.

"Tuff" doesn't have an .all file, so fans were able to load the samples but not sequences or songs and there's no point in exporting the individual samples as they are already in the folder. Other projects that contained only a collection of samples (even though those have an .all file) are "Beatbits" and "Drumz". For "Return", "Midnighs", "Swish", "Al_Intro", "LA" and "Ugh" there are no songs, only sequences. Since "LA" has 4 different BPMs, it was left as 4 different files. Some projects contained more than one version of a song. There are alternate versions of "Sad" and "Siamo" and two different projects for different versions of "Stick N Move". | "Tuff" doesn't have an .all file, so fans were able to load the samples but not sequences or songs and there's no point in exporting the individual samples as they are already in the folder.

One thing that's interesting, which I touched on earlier, is like the outright samples of other artists. There's a sound labeled as "Staind," a "Limp" kick, a lot of Björk samples, some EMPD stuff, etc. So, this has to be ahead of Hybrid Theory enough for there to be time for them to be replaced. We know they had issues with "She Couldn't" and HT has no sample credits. If I had to take a guess on some of this stuff based on what we have/what we know, I'd think it was stuff in consideration for the CD that "She Couldn't" eventually ended up on. It might have set the template for scraping samples that weren't created by the band. | One thing that's interesting, which I touched on earlier, is like the outright samples of other artists.

The | The NIN_PDRG sample is likely "The Perfect Drug". | ||
Fun fact, early Mike had a tendency to use a lot of the same samples and would sample other artists as placeholder parts before replacing them with his own. The MPC Crawling strings ("SKY2") are a Björk sample! | Fun fact, early Mike had a tendency to use a lot of the same samples and would sample other artists as placeholder parts before replacing them with his own.

Welcome to Linkinpedia!
Started in June 2015 alongside Fort Minor's comeback and released on September 19, 2016, this is a project by LPLive (Linkin Park Live) to create the most accurate wiki on the Internet for Linkin Park and their side projects. Instead of integrating a wiki inside our own website, we made the decision to launch a wiki as a brand new, standalone project.
The wiki contains over 500 pages of content and information ranging from the background information of songs to their live histories. We're launching Linkinpedia as a "work in progress" - there are missing pages AND there is missing info in the current pages. With hundreds of articles written, it will take some time to properly complete the wiki.
Due to fans and anyone being able to freely edit Wikipedia and other Linkin Park wikis, misinformation has spread throughout the community along with an incredible amount of inaccuracies about the band. Since Linkinpedia will be locked to the public and written, reviewed, and posted by members of LPLive's staff, we hope to correct any common mistakes out there about Linkin Park as well as to inform you as accurately as possible all about the band, their releases, their live shows and tours, and much more.
Feel free to browse Linkinpedia via the column on the left of the page. Fans and site members are welcome to submit corrections, mistakes, and more information to Linkinpedia via a link on the left.
Thanks for checking in!

We fact check all of our information before adding it to Linkinpedia, hence why it took over 15 months and 13,000~ page edits to just launch the project. We always cite as many sources as possible for new information, and we use the highest available quality for artwork that we add.
Linkinpedia / LPLive does not own any artwork or any pictures, and we're not using any for profit, etc. We will remove any photo by request. Our Photo Disclaimer, the same as LPLive's, can be found here.
This wiki is written by the fans, for the fans, with the goal of becoming the number one source of reliable, factually-correct Linkin Park information on the Internet. <metadesc>Linkinpedia is the internet's most comprehensive guide to Linkin Park.</metadesc> <metadesc content="Linkinpedia is the internet's most comprehensive guide to Linkin Park." /> {{#description2:Linkinpedia is the internet's most comprehensive guide to Linkin Park.}}
