Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Seems to be newly remastered straight from the source, not a vinyl transfer like a certain other digital reissue (*cough* The Towering Inferno). Sounds way too loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 The samples are pretty loud, seem to be brickwalled. I actually dig on the sound of the original album on CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightscape94 965 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 I don't see how this would affect a potential expanded release. This is just the OST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,983 Posted July 12, 2015 Share Posted July 12, 2015 Studios always retains digital rights for all their scores, even the ones sub-licensed to specialty labels which get the expanded treatment.So there is still hope, yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Did they look at the waveform of the Varese and think "no one will be able to hear this in their roofless VW! Needs more headbang!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Have LLL, Intrada, FSM, Kritzerland, Quartet or Tadlow done any unnecessary loudening or compression on their releases from the last decade?I know Varese has pumped the shit out of some of its releases.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 They are all guilty of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,322 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Actually, the 'clipping' is within respectable limits (you should see how the waveform of dance music looks like), but I prefer to crank up the volume of the ol' Varese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bespin 8,472 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 You call it "clipping"? I call it compression.A way to diminish the difference between quiet and loud parts of an analog recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Van any clear evidence of compression be found in the wave forms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,287 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I don't see how this would affect a potential expanded release. This is just the OST.Re-issuing the Witches of Eastwick's OST buggered up any chance of an expanded release; we now have to wait for that licence to expire before another record company can release that score in any form.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 Jaws 3D was released by Geffen too, and that recently got a complete score release, so your logic doesnt always need to apply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,322 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 You call it "clipping"? I call it compression.It probably is compression, but we talk of clipping when waves are flattened or cut at zero dB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamTheater 131 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Yeah that waveform for the HD tracks looks pretty normal, there shouldn't be anomalies when playing this on a good sound system.I don't own Jaws 2 in any form. Should I get it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,249 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Intrada just recently issued complete/chronological versions of Jaws 4 and Jaws 3. I'd wait a bit to see if they are tackling Jaws 2 and Jaws 1 as well before plunking down money on a download-only remaster of the OST program.

Jaws 2 is the CD I spent the biggest amount of money for, and I never regretted the purchase.The most I ever spent on a single CD was $130 on the Godzilla 40th Anniversary: Symphonic Fantasia, conducted by Masaru Satoh. It's a live performance of Akira Ifukube's three movements. To me, it's the best of performance of it.Godzilla CDs command stupid prices on eBay due to their scarcity but high demand. But a fanboy like me will pay because I just love the music that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,451 Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 I think the old Varese CD sounds wonderful. I don't understand why they felt there was need for "remastering". publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call it compression.It probably is compression, but we talk of clipping when waves are flattened or cut at zero dB. Yes I know what's clipping too, but to me this WAV seems more compressed, than just clipped. For a common today sound system or even mp3 player, that's generally better.Anyone here still with an old lamp system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,322 Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Like I said, the waveform of Jaws 2 still looks 'normal', they didn't go overboard (especially for the norm of today). This is what they do with other music:AlexPS: Of course, a waveform tells us nothing about whether somebody EQ'd it or the amount of noise.
