1977

Someone forgot to tell A.I. that art is meant to be beautiful.

I've just ordered the OSTs of Rota's Romeo and Juliet and The Taming of the Shrew.

I'm in South Africa. There are probably no more than five serious score collectors here including myself*. Although used score CDs are scarce here, when they do pop up in second hand stores or online they're a steal. The most I've ever paid here for a used score CD is around USD 20 - for Kamen's Baron Munchausen. Generally one can pick stuff up for between USD 1 and 5, but I've even acquired a good few score CDs for a quarter or two each. * Disclaimer: this is a rough estimate, there may be significantly less

I can pick it up for like USD 1.50. Maybe I can run it through Audacity's vocal removal tool. Gave the first five or six tracks a listen on Spotify and wow! What an incredible score! So annoying about the dialogue (and SFX to boot) though. Who started this trend of including film dialogue over music on soundtrack albums and when do we get to tar and feather them? Imagine someone saying "nah, don't get that soundtrack album. It's only got the music, there's no talking". Update. Gave the rest of the tracks a scan-through listen and it appears there are quite a few clean cues sans dialogue..thank goodness. I'll be ordering this tomorrow.

Thanks Thor. I'm looking at stuff that is readily available to me at really affordable prices: Buster The 10th Kingdom Gentlemen Don't Eat Poets And the aforementioned Pushing Tin

Is Dudley's Pushing Tin score worth picking up?

Which AI apps/online tools are you guys using to extend your artwork? Are there any good free tools available?

I recall there were complaints with the synths or mixing thereof on the Intrada.

I guess BotFoJ, SYiT or Cinderella Liberty.

Jay did a spreadsheet with the prior versions so hopefully he will update it - or already has Someone here posted a custom cover a year or two ago as a joke. It was actually a terrific cover, wish I could remember who it was - Crumbs perhaps?

I feel you.

I speak under correction, but as I understand it, if the Dolby Atmos or DTS-X system i.e. hardware detects a standard 5.1 track it will play that as is, unless you enable a mode that can pseudo upscale to a format with more channels. It's a bit like Dolby Pro-Logic II that takes a stereo film track with matrix encoded surround for example and simulates a more 5.1-like effect with semi-discreet L/R surrounds. Although my Integra receiver predates object based audio formats, it has an Audyssey music mode that upscales my 2 channel music to 7.1-like sound using the front effects speakers in my rig amongst others. It's quite immersive, although my regular stereo setup still kicks its teeth out for pure critical listening purposes. On another note, can't believe it's been nearly 3 months since the last post in this thread.

Indeed!

Hook, fantastic! Hopefully the Ultimate War is from the original tapes not the film stems.

Oops. Not looking good so far.

Waiting for the power to come back on.

8 hours to go!

?

MV's rant a while back about Sony not being able to find shit also gives me pause about Hook, but I'm hoping by some miracle the missing Ultimate War cues turned up somewhere.

Final predictions anyone? I'll take a flyer: (in no particular order) The Godfather: Part II Moonraker The Mask of Zorro MacArthur Hook

You need to choose three more for it to work!

5 new John Williams La-La Land titles confirmed!

24 12 hours to go! (Shit. I need a vacation)

Oh shit, my poor wallet!!
