  1. I'm shocked how negative of a reception this show seems to have on the wider internet, even in the comments of the post you linked. I thought it was maybe a bit long but I enjoyed it for what it was. I get how people might not have liked it because it strayed too far from the source material or made choices they didn't like or whatever, but I don't understand the vocal group that wants to shit on it as much as possible, especially a *year* after it stopped airing. Why spend so much mental energy thinking about something you hate? Hopefully the show keeps getting renewed so we can get even more of Bear McCreary's score
  2. In general I think I agree with @Richard Penna on this. I understand @Chen G.'s point that the orchestra can be an accompaniment for the vocals, and in the case of Gandalf singing when he arrives at Bag End I think the two mesh rather well, even though I would still like to have the orchestra clean. For me the one that's far worse sounding is I don't think you can argue the vocals and the score here have anything to do with each other musically; the vocals are really distracting and take away from the climax of the cue. Not to mention that the cue ends like 8 seconds before the vocals do
  3. I agree with all of this, I'd also be in favor of keeping separate cues separate instead of editing them into 8min+ long tracks.
  4. Definitely not; I've been binging classic DW as I've had time over the last few months and I'm in the middle of season 9 right now, I should be on The Three Doctors by the end of the week
  5. Aren't you forgetting about how Marcia Lucas convinced him to keep in the Tosche Station scenes against his better judgement because she edited them?
  6. I'd be interested in a full cue list if you're willing/able to post one
  7. This might be controversial but of all the ones I know, and based solely on the scores of his that Ive listened to, the most overrated composer in my opinion is probably Thomas Newman. I find his work to be ambient and athematic and unmemorable. I think Wall E is probably my favorite score of his that I've heard, if only because I actually can remember a cue or two from it.
  8. Maybe it'll come out closer to November with the presumably increased sales that'll come from the 60th merchandising wave
  9. It would be great to get the theatrical versions of cues too instead of just the extended edition versions
  10. I mostly followed my spreadsheet (at least for the album stuff, I didn't put all the menus in here yet): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1CoecptYu4INqR3tmeJL0GUVG67gD-dkA9NJLSkSvfW4/edit#gid=1007916511 I just went cue by cue down the list. The OST was irrelevant since all the material was also on the C&C. For material on both the FYC and C&C I prioritized the FYC since it had less dynamics compression. 90% of the cues had clean openings and endings although there were a couple with crossfades that were a little annoying. 1m10->2m3 in particular was a bit difficult to undo, I ended up faking it using Audacity's noise removal which actually worked pretty well. Oh cool thank you! I believe you posted those menu breakdowns on the Film Music Wiki right? That was one of my primary sources for tracking down the menu music. I'd be curious to know whether those cues are complete or not Yeah I've seen that before as well, but the only other place I've seen it mentioned was here where people said it was a myth. It would be awesome if it really did exist though
  11. Yeah I agree with this. I can understand the appeal of a curated album in certain situations, but I very often find that I dislike OST presentations, especially of Williams' scores. I'd much rather listen to my own selection of highlights. Honestly I think the thing that bothers me the most about Williams' albums isn't even the missing highlights or the out of order music, it's the really obvious microedits. I don't understand how someone can seriously argue that an edit like this improves the listening experience: To me, edits like this are extremely un-musical, and are just as bad or in some cases worse than film edits you might find on an isolated score.
  12. Technically I'm still working on it, but I have a complete score edit for Toy Story 2. It's sourced primarily from the FYC and the C&C releases, with the 2005 DVD as a secondary source for clean music (from the menus and a couple bonus features). For the cues for which no clean source is available, I've used this youtube upload of excerpts of the apparent music & effects track on the Australian release of the 2005 DVD (every other region only got a sfx track). I've been meaning to acquire a copy of that set myself to rip "losslessly", but in the meantime the youtube rip will have to do. There's also some additional clean music on the 2010 DVD and the bluray, but I don't have either. The cues that still have their original album metadata are ones I haven't touched in editing yet. This is primarily because these cues aren't in the sheets. I have a separate folder for cues that have any sfx, which is still a very early work in progress: Technically 2m2 and 5m7r have large portions clean via the DVD menus, but my rule is if any part of the cue has sfx it goes in this folder
  13. This was the first episode of the podcast I've ever listened to. I really enjoyed it! I think I'm gonna go back and listen to all the other episodes over the coming months, I've been looking for a new podcast to listen to while driving anyway
  14. Started saving some today. Here's all I've gotten through so far: Alex Borstein Corsets and Clownsuits Citadel It took me around an hour and I only got through 3 episodes. This might take a while...

  16. Any time I've ever done it it's always been track by track, but it may be possible to do them in bulk. Regardless, I'm also willing to help
