Belbucus are you restoring the missing segments of the mono soundtrack, like the 20th century fox theme and the first few bars of star wars main theme as well as the damaged parts?
is there a way to get those from a stereo source say the star wars soundtrack anthology box set and convert them to mono?
Or would it be better to get it from the 35mm mix?
could you tell me how you are cleaning up and restoring the mono mix?
You said in a previous post on this forum you had two sources, what is the equipment being used and is the cleanup a digital process?
Does anyone know why Lucasfilm never released the mono soundtrack. It must be in the Lucasfilm archives. to me when listening to it it sound more finished and polished that either the 35mm or 70mm mixes, and has several subtle nuances that are severely lacking is those other mixes.
would it be possible to create a new sound mix using the best of all three mixes and why has lucas not done so. He has the master tapes for the mono mix sessions apparently so why not just re-record those elements not in the others into stereo?
