One little question? Why do the tracks get chopped up into so many separate parts in these re-masterings? Don't get me wrong. I love the work you've done. It's just that the flow in some of the music is broken and would be better served if joined together. I guess it's just the way the original tracks were recorded during the scoring sessions.
The flow shouldn't be broken (- ok perhaps a tiny little "tilt" sometimes -) if you respected the 0'sec. pause tracks (on the infos.txt).
Now to the point: when clarity began to come back I noticed all the differences of sound, and so, of recordings. Even if some looks to be the continuity of a track, they're different. I needed them separate to deal with them in a different way each... And if you take CD1, track 3 on RotJ, I should have separate "Death Star In Array" wich sounds a medium quality, with the "Tatooine Rendez-Vous" part wich sounds very good.
All the tracks on RotJ that are separated with fades, from the Emperor room to what happens on Endor really are different recordings with different sound. Yes I know: hard to hear on the SE's ! :p However, I agree I could edit some tracks to be joined together... But I'm working with very "roots" materials and software, and it's finally fine to me that way.
On ESB for exemple I wanted to keep "Departure of Boba Fett" as a 8min track (with "Luke Pursues The Captives"), but here again, I had to work the track alone, a bit for remastering, and mostly to flip the inverted stereo... Indeed, that was quite bothering on this one and I always thought this track had a strange relief (due to that). Btw, it's the only flipped track I corrected.
Anyway, be sure nothing is hasardous on these separations.
