recording sessions
I'd be interested in a full cue list if you're willing/able to post one

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.

With only 2 months and 3 weeks to go until the 60th Specials still no news on Series 10 soundtrack
Maybe it'll come out closer to November with the presumably increased sales that'll come from the 60th merchandising wave

Could you post a guide showing how you made your edits?
I mostly followed my spreadsheet (at least for the album stuff, I didn't put all the menus in here yet):
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

I found the answer was to keep the general structure of his album, but just shift a few things here and there, and I explicitly kept some cues off because it didn't feel like they fit in a compact experience.
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.

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

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

I'm currently writing my master's thesis about autonomous presentation of film music on disc and I'm collecting interview material and statements of composers about that subject. Are you aware of any statements by Williams on his album programs or on the subject of album compilation in general? Has he ever commented on this?
I would be very interested, because he always structures his album programs very consciously (with concert arrangements as Track 2 or 3, or edited versions of tracks... I know there's some disagreement among fans about the latter, but I find it very interesting nonetheless ).Thank you!
Greetings, Sebastian

@enderdrag64, yes, that's a great idea, since I've sometimes used archive.org to grab older files on occasion. I'd have to look into how it works to trigger a manual "archive" of a given site. Is it as easy as that, or something more complicated? I hope that each audio file link doesn't have to be archived and only the page on which it resides will suffice. Otherwise, it's likely to be quite an effort. I have no problem with others pitching in, though.
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
-
@thx99 Have you ever considered using archive.org links instead of direct links so that these indexes can continue working beyond the present year?
I know for some studios like WB with the m3u8 playlists it might not be possible, but for the ones that just use mp3s or wavs or whatever it would help to preserve them

Finally saw this film today, didn't notice very much score in the movie, but I did think it was strange that the music section in the credits mentioned 4 different scoring studios!!!
I can't imagine with how little score is actually in the movie that they really had 4 different sessions in 4 different locations, unless it combined song and score credits together under the score section; but even still why would they spread out recording like that?

I saw his tweet too, and then waited to check the Additional Composers credit... and he wasn't there, just Sean and Deana.
He is actually, just not in the same spot. His credit is in the bottom left while Sean and Deana are front and center. Why they split the additional music by credit into two different places I have no idea
