That said I'd have love to have been able to try reediting and layer something like my work on ESB... Just only a dream...

What do you mean by this, making a score only soundtrack on the film? if that is what you mean that would be very cool.

Very cool indeed. The only fan disc I can think of with an isolated score is one EditDroid did, but I'm sure there are others. What an excellent [other] way it would be to enjoy A B C's work. Could [hypothetically] be done with all three movies, as he has remastered the entire originally trilogy...more than once.

 I like reading how people perceive / or translate their perception of the sound.

Usually if it's rock music or something like that, I don't often picture people playing the music. But I love to watch orchestral concerts and such and pick out the sound from different musicians around the room. So when I'm listening to these soundtracks, it feels like they're playing at different spots in my head. Haha.

I would really, really love to go see Star Wars in Concert someday. Actually, I'd love to see any orchestra, really. Only saw a small one—around 15-20 musicians?—at my high school. I don't think all the metalheads cared, but it was an amazing experience for me. It's great to feel the power of the instruments, not even artificially amplified. Video Games Live would be excellent, too.

What we all have to never forget is that if it wasn't for Lucas with all his flaws and errors included, none of this would matter.

That makes me think of a hypothetical situation: if we had never had the SEs or the PT or anything else that has tarnished our memories, and only had awesome versions of the OOT...would Star Wars fanediting even exist? If someone made their own SE, would they be viewed as Lucas is now, tampering with things that could've been left alone? (even if it was just fixing continuity errors or blemishes, and nothing else)

I appreciate that you also brought out the fact that Lucas is letting people mess with his movies. They even encouraged people to put stuff on YouTube before! That is pretty great and shouldn't be forgotten among all the nonsense. ;)

Been listening quite a bit this afternoon. So nice! Powerful when it needs to be and nice and warm when the mood is more mellow. And, of course, the clarity is there. The sound field is nice and wide and you hear instruments in many different spots. :)

Oh, I hear sort of a 'skip' or like there's a split second of audio missing at 1:51 in "Darth Vader's Trap". I thought maybe it was just my computrer loading or something, but I went back and checked a couple of times and it did it each time.

I'm kinda stuck at the computer, but I just thought about how I have a FLAC plug-in for Winamp, so I think I'll load it up right directly. (ideally, I will have a proper listening session on headphones*)

 

*actually, I should run downstairs and grab my headphones and plug 'em into the computer.

Well a later workprint has been given to  Rogue Leader & the 2nd unit and to 005 today but its still very rough. I don't want anyone pestering these people for any information about the workprint because they won't tell you anything as i trust them 100% i won't be sending out a finished beta version though to anyone. If i miss a few little things then so be it.

And why not? After all, George Lucas missed a few little things ...

That sounds more like a challenge than anything else. ;)

P.S. Glad you dug it, Monro. It gets updated often. (though it's getting harder for all of us to find good material. There are pretty girls in professionally made costumes doing photo shoots galore, but we all appreciate the people who have made their own costumes and wear them in public, whether they look good or bad. (I usually prefer the bad, cuz I like to laugh.)

Over in dark_jedi's GOUT thread, the discussion lately has included a part about the sound of water splashing/sloshing around while Luke is in the cave, and it was apparently to do with an unused concept of having Vader come up out of water. Obviously that isn't in the movie, but apparently the audio is! :p (I need to listen to that scene again!)

Any thoughts on this, Ady?

Good stuff, Frinky. I made a cosplay thread at another forum and he (King Nintendo) was an early entry.

Any links?

You'd probably need to register, which is why I didn't bother before, but here it is: http://theshizz.org/forum/index.php?/topic/31621-cosplay-post-the-best-and-the-worst/ (I said I made it, but I'm just a contributor. Was thinking of somewhere else.)

P.S. Once again, I had to unsubscribe and resubscribe to this thread, having missed around 3 pages of posts! Am I the only one having this problem?! :p I'd also love to know why it's only happening with this thread. Did Adywan hex me or something? ;)
