"Heroic" Nihilanth Boss Fight Music Mix

Description
A simple mod that aims to make the final boss fight feel more like the summit of Freeman's journey and less anti-climactic compared to how I felt about the original track, while still keeping some bits of the "Nihilist (v2)" which I think works really nicely as ambience!

This mod replaces the track with a 7:30-minute custom mix of music from both the original Black Mesa album and the Xen album, as I thought it would be nice to feature the Black Mesa leitmotif from the early chapters and the Ascension variant.
All the tracks were made by Joel Nielsen (of course), and I just took them from the game files and arranged them in the way I saw fitting, including seamless (I hope so lol) transitions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tracks featured (in order):
xen-nih.wav - Nihilist (v2) (also used as ambience)
bms-theme.wav – Black Mesa Theme
xen-ride1.wav - Ascension(v2)
xen-theme.wav - Transcendent
xen-ride2.wav - Ascension(v2)
bms-theme (crazymix).wav - Black Mesa Theme (Mesa Remix)
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update: I disabled dithering and got the file size down from 70MB to just 39MB, so the lags should be gone now.
If you suffer from lags please set up a custom folder in your Black Mesa directory and download the .wav file from the link (remove spaces) and put it in there.

A video would certainly be nice...

Personally lowering the resolution and lighting quality minimized the lag but it is still apparent for the first moments of the final phase. I hope there is a better solution.

What part do i have to change in the graphics quality?
Because i keep getting this horribles low frames and lag on the final phase of Nihilant.

It's starts to lag after Nihilanth enters in his final phase. You can fix this just switching graphics quality.
