I'm trying the impossible (I know what Yoda would say to that).

I know that there is no scoreless and sound effect free isolated dialogue tracks for the Star Wars films (other than what's sitting in the Lucasfilm vaults).

But I am attempting to edit the audio of a scene as close to scoreless and effects free as possible and I would really welcome any tips as it is a labour of Heracles.

I'm trying to construct a rough cut of the council scene from TPM with a mixture of dialogue from other scenes.

My first attempts flow quite well (for rough cuts).

I've attempted to strip away some of the intrusive elements via a mixture Audacity and Garage band filters but the results sound a bit like a telephone call down a long tube and even then I still get the odd blob of persistant LSO complaining in the background.

Help OT.COM boffins, you're my only hope.
