True story.

I am now being ignored by myself and ignoring myself, at the same time. Talented multitasking right there.

Wich means in other words: you've found your true yourself ! Congratulations! I'm almost jealous.

I have the upmost respect and envy for people who can post in languages other than their birth language.

Glad to hear it. We try hard ! Please make an effort guys ;)

Enough! We can't have a serious discussion here with you guys ! You're all going on ignore !!!

^^^ Take that ! (hey, I see what you've done)

^^ Take that ! (... I see you can't ignore yourself !)

^ Take that ! (Motorhead !)

Pfff... I feel better.

Uncut (one exception). Edited title of post 4:

SET 2 - The Restored Original Score & Suites As Written For The Film (for no confusion: is not the IE DVD music track - tracks here are uncut excepted one... See the SE ? You've got the idea then)

You know my care for details... Each single edited track has been mentionned since the beginning.

edit: I'm gonna take a rest from tiping in English, guys. ;)

So why can't I ignore myself?

Cause it would require you have a suitcase full of pants with you.

Too expensive.

PS: where's the JT34 ignore thread. (I'm on the list).

... I'm asking because it's sort of sounding as if you're ready to move on (you mentioned it doesn't seem as if it's "worth it" since no one else had chimed in)...

By the way, I wanted to reply to this but I forgot. I have made this thread a couple of weeks ago and maybe it needs more time. I'll watch this thread around December to see if it gets serious attention... You'll allow me a few doubts for the moment, even apart from what the latest discussion would inspire to any sincere contributor.

Read you soon then, and all the best.

Great choice with the ESB backcover ! My heart feels warmer when I see it ! ;)

No worries. Be sure there was no insult in my post, of course. And for what are the title changes they're from the original scoring list. Maybe a detail, but I chose to present it as close as it was originally intented.

All the best with your projects, sincerely.

That's a damn awesome avatar... I'm tempted.

Huh, ok. Sorry if I spread such a confusion.

Well, I'd have been glad to simplify the problem as you say: by only proposing replacement tracks.

Then why not doing this ?... I just can't just "replace" the tracks even for myself. They just don't match anymore due to several changes that were necessary to be made:

It concerns, if you study a little the infos I've given to present the current set, almost all the session mixes EQs + a couple of source changes. And also, someone great sent me a copy of John Williams manuscript (piano sketches) for the whole score, and it appears after having studied these that a couple of editing choices from me were wrong on the AE. I haven't detailed this anywhere. It changes the AE as it was presented.

For you understand further only a few tracks, no more than four or them are the very same from the AE to the IE. But you already know cause you've seen announced all the details of the changes in the AE thread... here. It misses a couple of fixes though.

Sorry I can't reply to your personal request the way you wished JediTray. I thought you got it when I read your post 11 after my simple explanation by pm.

Also sorry for my love for details and precision (both content and presentation), though I keep on thinking that it's the best thing I've been able to bring to this score through my work. Thanks to show me it's welcome

If now you prefer dealing it through "fuckwit factor" ways for yourself, no worries. It's a choice. Not the one people are fighting for through this place though.

Regards.

Maybe we have a language barrier indeed. If anyone else wants to explains to the stupid frenchy that I am what he meant... ;)

Edit & ps: sorry, I guess I maybe took things wrong for myself and I hope you'll hear this: it was such a long way to present this set the best way I could that it makes me sad you would satisfy with the DVD version I made.

I wish I can help the few people interested with having the best of it, as I said above: SET2 + the bonus tracks. That's the essential. If I have indeed some language barriers regarding what is beeing said sometimes, it still allows me to go straight to the point in the way to present this score as it should be.

I don't want at all to propose the audio from the DVD because of the necessary cuts that have been done, so I can't understand why you're after it in regard of the current CD set. Simply. The very original audio for the DVD you're after will be found only through the current set besides (What I sent to D_J was the exact track you have on the DVD).

I hope it clears it all.

I thought our first posts of today said it all for now. I can't see why you ask me about the original audio for the DVD... Afraid that I leave without giving a goodbye kiss ?... I'm not posting here to tease people, you know.

Two things:

1) You have in the IE DVD post 1 (or on the backcover) all the detail: film version cut / or not. It doesn't entirely match with the current SET 2 then. Great for the DVD, but for a CD listening experience you'll curse me for sure, haha !

2) The PCM audio has been converted from 44,1Khz to 48Khz. Sure that a new convertion to 44,1Khz will mess up the tracks.

Note: only "Losing a Hand" has been left as edited for the film on Set 2. I think it really gives a better cue. It misses only two tiny bits that are welcome out, and the editing between the many segues is better done (more dynamic) than on the original.

... Your first set was so good; if you think what you've done here is better... I'm all in favor of that!...

I've posted two samples (that are 4 tracks). If anyone wants to say what he feels about these by comparison with the AE, nice. Otherwise no worries, I think I'm used to this kind of silence now.

I've seen it in 1983 in the best - giant - screen of Paris at that time (the Rex) wich had even stars shining in the dark on the ceiling + a damn great sound, and I had a good place facing the screen on the balcony (or circle).

I didn't retain the negative side of the film. I must have been somehow temporarilly "fooled", like a lot of people.

Anyway, I wanted to become a Jedi (not like my father before me) what is the essential.

These are not replacement tracks for the AE... Let don't spread the confusion I'm trying to avoid! :D

There are too much changes besides.

And while I'm at it, I can't imagine another site where I - a Star Wars 1977 Only Fan, Who Actually Prefers The NPR Radio Version - would be welcome.

Haha !!! I've only listened the 1980 ESB NPR RD version, but it was great !... Far more immersive.

As it seems none else cares to update his set I'll send it to you then. Since you announced your soundtrack preservation project, I may leave the share to you (as we said) cause now I know I won't do anything about SW's musics again, and I don't see what could I add posting in this thread. Of course I'll send it to the few people I worked with personally.

I don't know in what shape you'll receive it btw. I may just join and even reduce the current 16 pages booklet with the essential again of a couple of pages, and only upload SET 2, extended or not with the bonuses from SET 1. Otherwise it will take too much time for me to prepare and it appears it's not worth it this time. I'm already "far far away" from this project besides.

... People backing each other, inspiring each other, helping each other out...

 

That's why I mentioned all the help you can get from here, post quickly forgotten to let place to more fuss between off topic section posters (ironic!).

This site is brilliant for anyone working on all kinds of improvements. Great people around, with unexpected ones acting in the dark. Sometime bringing even incredible stuff not even ever mentionned here around.

Sorry man: I should have said "someone". Now you quoted it.

Also note that I said "I had a problem". Starting from this it's not your fault, but more mine: "My" problem. It's then more ABC who is in cause with you... Not you. I don't know if someone will catch this paradox one day, my boy!

EyeShotFirst said:

Noooooooooo !

... Yeah I know.

I don't know if I understood your last posts Bingo (laguage/formulation issue for me), but anyway I was just trying to say Warb was harming himself more than us with the interpretation he has of our posts - or way to post.

PS: if he wasn't ignoring my posts I wouldn't have posted the image besides, so sure I am he would have wrongly identified with it...

... How am I that interesting all of a sudden, that I get to be ignored??

Ah... you too you have this feeling when it happens !

Now that we see at last something through this picture, it's funny to notice the strong relation between the architecture and perspective (typical angle that possibly makes Darth_Coconut say it's wrong) with this one...
