perhaps you can transfer all the bits to a new case?

Definatley will. Trying to find the exact cases that they use but not sure. Anyone know any?

[Did you get the Dial of Destiny soundtrack on the CD format before it sold out?]

I just got a shipping notice! 

 

I was also waiting for the amazon UK release, but then had this wierd feeling that it was only going to be Disney Music Emporium, so I pre-ordered. 

 

Must have been before the site took it down. 

 

I am very sorry for everyone else that could not secure one, this is a very unfortunate situation.

One would think that they could not be this clueless about why a person would go to one of these.

I watched ROTJ at the Bridgewater Hall and the music was covered by voice and sound effects for pretty much the whole concert. I send then an email to complain about it (after all I had paid nearly £100 for a "live music concert"...)  and they replied they are not responsible for the mixing as it's something set in advance and they have no control on.

Went to watch it at the RAH later on and it was much better, similar to all the previous live movie concerts I had attended there.

I know why the E.T. one was so much better, because the Halle Orchestra put the event on and Disney Concerts weren't producing it. Disney Concerts are the producers of every Star Wars Live To Picture unfortunately.

All the ones I've seen at the Royal Albert Hall have had subtitles. I do rather wish they would dial down the dialogue and sound effects a bit more, or maybe remove them completely, and not bother showing the film. Oh and removing any post-production edits to the music. ;-)

I agree, it's far too loud (dialogue, sound effects). The best mix was when I saw A New Hope by the LSO in 2018 (Royal Albert Hall) [Saturday Evening showing], however it was still too loud for my liking. 

 

The worst one was Empire Strikes Back in the Albert Hall (Dirk Brossè and London Philharmonia). I was sat in the stalls right behind the engineers/producers and someone went down and collared one of them, essentially asking them to turn the sound and dialogue down as the music in places was barely audible. I couldn't hear everything said as it was the interval, but it seemed to be a little heated. The engineer ultimately said something along the lines of, "it's standardised and we can't change it". The London Philharmonia are obviously a great orchestra, but they don't have the same 'clout' as the London Symphony Orchestra, so the Empire concert was easily the weakest of the original trilogy presentations there at The Royal Albert Hall. 

 

I saw E.T. at The Bridgewater Hall in Manchester and thats a much better venue for this (I think), the balance was excellent throughout.

Long overdue, but here are snapshots of the Empire Strikes Back LTP concert from May 19

 

One thing that I didn't expect, and somewhat irritated me, was the decision to include subtitles for the film. @Matt S., was there subtitles for the ROTJ concert?

Yes, they all include subtitles. E.T did as well. I would assume they all do. 

[Interesting Mike Matessino comments, new release “very soon”!]

Lucasfilm/Disney allowed expanded Solo to be released Digitally and Physically (soon right?). Also a digital expansion of Rogue One. 

 

Oh it's happening again, excitement levels rising!

Could it be faked atmos somehow?

Of course, definitely! but who knows? 

[Original Star Wars albums now available in Spatial Audio on Tidal and Apple Music]

These Dolby Atmos releases show the state that the Jedi tapes must be in. These are all mono centre channel rips which highlight the 'data' missing from Jedi's transfers compared with A New Hope. 

 

Main Titles - A New Hope

 

Tie Fighter Attack - A New Hope 

 

 

Finale - Empire Strikes Back

 

 

Return of the Jedi

 

 

It sounds like they've maybe put reverb over the tape transfers to try and mask the issues. It sounds like aggressive mp3 compression as well.

I take it that this means the raw Atmos files wouldn't necessarily be the original recording stems?

No 😥

[Original Star Wars albums now available in Spatial Audio on Tidal and Apple Music]

I wonder if they started with the atmos mix and then for the 2018 CD's it was summed down to stereo and that's why you have that odd L/R Centre feel to the mixes?
