There’s even Cinema DTS soundtracks for them out there that you can utilize.

I just got hit up for the set. I am the only seeder for them on myspleen at this point too.

You shouldn’t be, I have the 97 dts mix seeding too. I’m using the torrent called 97se-dts-v4? I’m not sure how torrents work so it might not be showing me as a seeder because I only downloaded ANH and ROTJ. (ESB 2011 mix is fine by me other than a few content changes that I just splice in the 93 mix for personal viewing) But nevertheless I am seeding the ANH and ROTJ on that torrent.

As for the 2011 mix not having issues, it’s mainly dialogue. Check the trash compactor scene for the easiest indicator. “Absolutely your worship…” and “You know it’s not gonna take 'em long to figure out…” have DRASTICALLY different audio quality from each other despite coming in back to back and to me it’s always been extremely jarring. No other mix has that. “It’s not gonna take them long” sounds really good while “Absolutely your worship” sounds worse than a vhs tape. Way worse. This is a problem that occurs throughout the movie but this is the easiest to illustrate. The 97 mix does not have this problem at all. In fact no other mix has this problem. It also has a better balance of music and sound effects.

For star wars 2011/2004 audio I would honestly just use the 97 mix and just splice in the few content changes because the 2011 mix is basically just a horribly butchered 97 mix where they pulled every line of dialogue from a different source with very few content changes.

According to Ben Burtt, he went back to the original sources. And that much splicing of 5.1 audio is more work than it is worth. Except for Beru remaining unchanged, ANH is closer to the mono mix than any previous mix so it is closer to what I consider the definitive mix than the 97 SE.

Yeah but it sounds like garbage. Even the 93 mix sounds better. The dialogue is the biggest problem but there’s an overall harshness and shrill sound. There’s several scenes where every line of dialogue was pulled from a different source and SOME lines will sound fine then the very next line will sound terrible. Example: trash compactor scene. “Absolutely your worship look I had everything under control until you led us down here!” Sounds like it was from a battered cassette tape that’s been sitting in the heat since 1977, while the very next line (which occurs less than a second latero and by the same person) “you know it’s not gonna take them long…” sounds crystal clear. It’s extremely jarring. Perhaps it would be easier to just cut in the center channel from the 97 for scenes with those issues.

Draftsman is generally not used anymore because there are many more female drafters than there used to be.

Yeah that’s what I figured, but my dad works for an extremely small private company (literally like 5 people) and has for his entire career so he wouldn’t really pay attention to things like that because his little office never changed. Not that he would mind being called a drafter instead or anything I just doubt he’s ever noticed or thought about it.

I was really into math in high school and I also took a drafting class with a really great teacher, so I decided to become an Engineer. I’ve been doing it for 22 years now (gulp).

My dad’s a full time drafter. (Don’t think that’s what they’re called in noun form but whatevs). He’s pretty advanced/specialized too. Makes pretty good money.
