There is little documented history (that I’m aware of) surrounding the mixing of the foreign language versions other than they were done in and around late 1977 - along with the “Story of Star Wars” LP project which we know uses the monomix elements. So, with the known chronology of the mixes (and Burtt’s preference), it would not be unreasonable to assume that they used those elements as well. From what Vigo indicates, it seems quite possible that there could be several examples out there of foreign language STEREO mixes using the monomix elements.

…I´m looking forward to capture the sound from the Silverscreen LD, since it most probably has the original theatrical german sound on it, since it also features the original textcrawl without "Episode IV" at the beginning.
Vigo,
I would love to somehow get a copy of this file when you’re done.

THX,
Do you still have this? If so, would you consider emailing to me?

…Belbucus, are you going to release the mono mix when you completed it? It would be so cool if it was in sync with the video of the september 12 release and available for download so everyone can use it to make their own mono mix version of Star Wars.

Arnie.d,
The coarse timing, with which I’ve been working thus far, was determined so as to match that of DC/Faces Laserdiscs, so it should come close to if not exactly match the video of the upcoming DVD. For a tight synchronization (a fairly time consuming process), I am waiting until the DVD release to confirm the timing.

…IIRC, additional sound effects were added to the mono mix when the dubbed versions were made, so they may not provide the best reference material.

THX,
I was really thinking more along the lines of a reference with regard to overall EQ and dynamics. I am assembling a complete monomix track - drawing from 2 different sources (Moth3r’s and Allan Mikkelsen’s). Both are likely several generations down, originally from television broadcasts (with whatever arbitrary processing the stations may have imposed). Allan’s is quite bright and thin with limited dynamic range. Moth3r’s seems to be closer to what it should be, so I’ve been EQing the lifts from Allan’s to match that. In the end though, it would be nice to have something to reference that represents the mixers intent, for an overall sonic profile.
