TotalAudio is a music and sound production company founded by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, apparently incorporated officially under the name O'Donnell/Salvatori Inc. The company was contracted to score Bungie's games starting with [[Myth|Myth: The Fallen Lords]]. In 2000, Marty would join Bungie as an employee, but TotalAudio continues to operate (at least for the purpose of copyright maintenance and royalty collection) while O'Donnell and Salvatori have individually gone on to compose for various games. | TotalAudio is a music and sound production company founded by Martin O'Donnell and Michael Salvatori, apparently incorporated officially under the name O'Donnell/Salvatori Inc.

When O'Donnell released the Oni soundtrack on Bandcamp for a short while, the sheet music for Hurry was included as an extra, credited to O'Donnell/Salvatori Inc. but not either specific person.

Based on findings by [https://odysseyaudio.org/ Odyssey Sound Team], who are recreating unreleased music that was produced by TotalAudio for Oni and other games, certain tracks can be assigned to TotalAudio based on the same synthesized instruments being used for Halo CE. These tracks include Searching and The Hunt, as well as the music in the mus_amasian and mus_xgrv OSBDs (named by fans as "[[Music/CD#Up And Away|Up and Away]]" and "[[Music/CD#Porn Groove|Porn Groove]]"). The unused Halo CE tracks [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8U53VnSjP94 HERE] and [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puXwE00GGDM HERE] use the same samples as Searching, The Hunt, and "Porn Groove".
