... can you please explain why you think it's a wrong ad, (maybe you have already) I know you have worked hard on this one and that you are finished with it, I just want to know your reason behind it.

I won't change my mind about the "Jedi Master Revealed" link with "Mynock Cave" as I edited them. However we can see that from the fanfare I removed to the end of "Mynock Cave" it is one entire cue. Then it is now obvious I'll have to place the entire cue in the bonus tracks. That's ok, you'll be able to appreciate both the new edit with the RSO track wich sounds powerful and the whole SE track wich sounds not bad at all.
The first reason is the sound, indeed I tried to get rid of the harshness of the cue before and each time I tried to low that, the sound was dying (refer to the OE). The only way I found to improve this track was to make it shine (the "Salvage" version). Now I've done another mix for the bonus track of it and as it was better I wondered if it may be edited with the RSO version... After listening both my answer is: no way.
- The real problem with the SE version is that the high frequencies are too short, so lifted with abuse. That's how I see the matter. There are a bunch of good things in the SE, but they are always spoiled being to short and so, virtually extended. For comparison the "Aboard The Executor" track is incredibly superior to the whole set, you don't have idea. It has quite the same potential than "The Battle in the Snow" from the RSO wich is the best on it considering the thousand ways you can make it sound. I really calmed them down on the OE so rich they were. -
The second and third reasons are that the first rush in "Mynock Cave" breaks the flow (it breaks the surprise of the second rush, what always bothered me), and to finish what I said in my notes: "Jedi Master Revealed" has been obviously composed to match the beginning of "Mynock Cave". Surely a safety from J. Williams who put in reserve a lot of his music on this score to allow re-cuts. This was particularly obvious to me when I worked on the film version edit.
To have it complete in the bonus tracks is the best alternative and believe me, this cue being placed between "Snowspeeders Alt" and "Departure Alt" both re-edited and re-layered with the RSO, doesn't make a so proud figure...
