1997 Special Edition Audio Mixes, GOUT-Synced (Released) — Page 2

Just throwing this out there, as it may work alright - The TFM Audio Tool offers simple DTS encoding capabilities that may achieve what you’re looking for.

If you pm me the lossless files, I’ll encode them.

Otherwise, I suggest 2 variants of the DTS file.

File Based Playback (Computer): 16 bit, 44.1khz - Closest to original source.
DVD/BD Based Playback: 16bit, 48khz

I think ChainsawAsh has got this one wrangled, but I appreciate the offer for help. He is right that my source has already been processed to be more suitable for home video.

No, it was just something I neglected this time. Fortunately. It’s something I’d do at the beginning as I prepare the timeline, roughly analogous to forgetting to plug a mic in.

V2 is up in the same places. Seek it out on the 'spleen or Reddit. Each of these places also contain a link to get lossless output files for anyone who wants to mess with these.

Oh that’s great, thanks again ! … You know what’s my next question is gonna be : something about lossless output files such as these for roman numerals with no “V” episodes 😃 (in due time, of course !)

You’ll get those, too. Have I ever not delivered for you before?

Only once, I’m still waiting for the fucking pizza.

Look who’s talking, you never paid me for the goddam thing.

Actually, 24-bit is possible on DVD with DTS.
Many official DVDs are 24-bit DTS.

I have to ask… is there any intention of making a version of the ROTJ SE mix that syncs to the 4K83?

That is what the GOUT-sync convention was supposed to ensure.

However, this seems like a worthwhile exception. I’ll do it, exporting from my original project files. No ETA, though.

There were apparently two additional frames in the establishing shot of the fleet at Sullust, rendering any ROTJ GOUT sync audio distractingly out of sync for the second half of the movie.

I really do like watching the Star Wars trilogy with these audio tracks (the one for ESB in particular because the 97 mix didn’t have the altered musical transitions all previous mixes did; I much prefer the original cues as John Williams recorded them).

If you have VLC, put it 50 ms ahead. That’ll put it roughly one frame early before the frames in question, roughly one frame late before the frames, and I personally can’t tell the difference unless it’s more than like 75 ms out of sync.

It’s really only two frames? Ugh, why break with the GOUT sync for that? I’ll still do it, though.

Currently exporting the SE ROTJ audio, synced to 4K83. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the only thing I had to do to the project timeline from the GOUT sync was to undo trimming the audio for the frames the 4K83 used which the GOUT omitted.

Everything but the DTS encode for the 4K83-synced release is in the Google Drive directory, and once I get the DTS encode from Ash it’ll appear there, too. It’ll also appear on the 'spleen.

Everything is where it needs to be now: Google Drive and Myspleen.

Me too; I would love to have a series of viewings of these edits of mine, which I have maintained a keen ear toward the audio for, in a proper set up environment.
