STAR WARS: EPISODE VII: The Shadow Revealed (FAN EDIT BY THAT_OT_RULER) NEW PREVIEW CLIPS — Page 3

The music is present in every channel. That’s the tricky part. However, you can go through each channel and pick out individual sound effects, cause some channel’s music is less audible than others. Also, some primary sound effects are in the main channel too. It’s honestly a big jumbled mess. It sounds good, but the organizing is awful. As for the Rey and Kylo, I’m going to have to mainly use my own sound effects. Same with the resistance X-wings fighting on Maz’s castle.

Oh, it totally is. It’s why my edit is taking a long time. I’ve already got my main edits done, it’s just the godforsaken audio. As for replacing sound effects in some places, I don’t mind. Most of the lasers and stuff sound freaking cool, like when the Millennium Falcon flies into the ship on Jakku; those laser sounds from the Falcon sound really explosive and cool. But on the other hand, the explosion and laser sounds for the X-wing fight on Maz’s castle, sound really lame. Really nothing impressive or special.

Completely agree with your take on how the lasers sound. But the sounds of lightsabers clashing in TFA is different obviously and I’m one of the fans of it. Do you plan on trying to restore what the sabers sounded like in TFA or what they sounded like in previous films?

very interesting while I have no problem with the music or colors of TFA it is really cool to hear the new music you added and to see TFA fanedits take off I love the theme starting when Han and Chewie come through the doors blasting away, one word EPIC

Actually, I downloaded 4 GB of sound effects ripped from EA’s Battlefront. Tons and tons of original trilogy sounds in great quality, with forest Endor sounds, vehicles, people, weapons, explosions, and so much more. It’s amazing. I own the game too. Really love it.

Also, update, the one scene I will not be replacing the music for is Rey’s vision. Trying to fuck with the audio in that scene would remove and ruin the little hidden sounds and vocals lurking in the vision. Leaving that scene alone.

Pfffff, someone made a similar edit already.

That’s how I’d do my sound effects, except more professional, like using more authentic high quality sounds with variety. But otherwise, good edit.

It would have been impossible to have some other type of music that fits with the intensity of her vision…And while you’re at it you should just keep in Rey’s theme as well 😃

+1 and Kylo Rens theme, And Jedi Steps. I’m fine with replacing everything else

God dang it, the music being present in every channel really makes me mad. Other movies I’ve worked on don’t have this problem. At this rate, with noise gate, voice remover, and other code programs, I’m going to have to replace more than 50% of the sound effects.

Yeah, not on a Star Wars movie, but films like Saw and the 2005 King Kong have much better audio channels than this. Oh well. I’m close to half way through the 6 channels. Managed to get a decent amount of sound effects out of the movie, but will definitely have to supplement with extra sounds.

At risk of veering off-topic, what did you do with “Saw”? Genuinely curious. You can PM me if you don’t want to clutter the thread.

I don’t have the edit anymore, and I unfortunately never uploaded it, but I cut back on some of dialogue that was a little too cheesy, mainly from Adam. Also, during some of the tense scenes, like the finale car chase, I slowed down and cut out some of the shots that were sped up and little too flashy. Other than that, I didn’t do much. Just mostly dialogue cuts. But the music in the movie was in its own channel. So with one simple mute button, I could have the whole movie without music. It was beautiful.

Happy May the 4th everyone!

Sorry for not being as active. You already know the reasons. I’m still working on the edit the best I can. I’m close to being 1/4 finished to making a complete audio overhaul, with all the music removed, EXCEPT for the vision sequence. If anyone would want to join me in my efforts, please do! Try editing the audio yourself.

But anyways, for today, I got a few new preview clips, including the first 5 minutes of the edit! (Music only)

NOTE: THE COLOR CORRECTION IS KIND OF MESSED UP IN THESE CLIPS.
Thanks for your support and enjoy.

First 5 Minutes of the edit - Mixed Music (See if you can spot which tracks I used)

I will have more preview clips coming later today!

You really have musical timing down! Stay tuned, my music free tracks are coming along, you’ll be able to synchronize it to the original movie so you should be able to just drop it into your edit.

Looks very nice!!! Good work 😃

Thanks! I will be fixing the color correction on those parts. Also, thanks Smithers! Can’t wait to hear what you’ve come up with!
