paleo 63 Posted April 15, 2014 Share Posted April 15, 2014 Sorry that I didn't browse hundreds of threads to possibly find out:Is there a good open source program for editing sound files (e.g., for cutting off a section or combining several files into one)? Or what do you use for this kind of stuff? I normally don't edit (as you can tell), but I'd like to "improve" a few of my playlists now... Thanks.

Ludwig 1,120 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Was it in an interview that Williams said he convinced Lucas to use a completely original score for Star Wars rather than an original score plus classical pieces? If so, where can I find that interview? Or is it documented somewhere else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,698 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 A quick "The Witches Of Eastwick" question:The film version of "The Destruction Of Darryl" has some extra music in it (when Susan Sarandon falls off of the balcony). Was this actually composed by JW, because, to me, it sounds as though it was edited into the scene by someone "diong" JW, in much the same way that Morton Stevens "did" JG, in "Outland"? it sounds "almost", but not quite right.

Incanus 5,726 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I believe it is an alternate, perhaps an insert where the Ballroom Scene "flying" theme is used more prominently (than on the original version found on the album) when Jane falls over the upper floor railing and is saved by laughter induced levitation. Obviously this small thematic quote is used to draw a connection between the two scenes. I doubt it was composed by anyone but good ol' Johnny.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,493 Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 In Amazing Stories: The Mission, the "episode version" of The Landing has this extra bigger fanfare after the plane falls. It's actually not on the Intrada CD. However, McNeely recorded it just like the episode, only without the preceding part that's on the Intrada CD. When you listen to it in the show, it kinda sounds like an insert that was spliced in. That said, why would McNeely have recorded it like the insert but not included the preceding passage except to establish a weird reason to keep listening to a re-recording after the original versions have been released? Can someone ask him on Facebook since I'm too embarrassed to? What is wrong with me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Brown 91 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Anyone know where I'd find Daft Punk's "Giorgio by Moroder" with the music in the beginning intact, but without the vocals?While I like Moroder's interview, I'd like to hear the music without the voice over--if it even exists.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm trying to streamline my music library. Can someone give me the lowdown on the two disc releases of Rosewood, The Fury, and Jaws? Are the second discs (original albums) vital; that is, is there significant material on them that doesn't appear on the first discs? I know with Rosewood, it's mostly just the choral stuff, but not certain about the other two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,479 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Well first of all for Jaws, there is no 2 disc set, so you might have some sort of fun made creation. Anyways, for both Jaws and The Fury, Williams actually got a different orchestra together and recorded the entire LP program from scratch. IE, he took the sheet music from the film cues, then added, embellished, changed around, etc whatever he wanted and invented new programs that then got recorded and released as the OST. They're basically essential listens, and many find them superior to the later release of the actual film cues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 You're right, Jaws isn't 2 discs. I just forgot that I combined the original album with the Decca release. Duh.Ok well looks like that and The Fury should stay, and I'll ditch all but the three choral songs of Rosewood's original album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,240 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 The second disc of The Fury (the album recording by the LSO) is essential. In fact it's among the most essential discs of all Williams releases. The soundtrack on disc one has some additional stuff that's worth having.

Naïve Old Fart 9,698 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Speaking of re-recorded OSTs...how much of both "The Eiger Sanction", and "Earthquake" are OST, and how much is re-recording?IMO, "The City Sleeps" on CD sounds OST, but I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,479 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 None of them were recorded at a later date, but some tracks could have been written just for the album, and recorded during the main sessions of the rest of the film cues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omen II 1,236 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Speaking of re-recorded OSTs...how much of both "The Eiger Sanction", and "Earthquake" are OST, and how much is re-recording?IMO, "The City Sleeps" on CD sounds OST, but I'm not sure.Both albums are re-recordings and do not include the versions of the music heard in the movie soundtrack. Although the album and original soundtrack versions of The City Sleeps (actually the end titles) from Earthquake are indeed very similar, they are different recordings - if you compare the vibraphone effect leading into the end titles on both versions, the difference is obvious. All the source music tracks represented on the album (e.g. Something for Rosa, Something for Remy, Miles' Pool Hall) are also clearly different in the film where they appear.I would suggest however that the earthquake special effects within the Medley track on the album may well be from the film's soundtrack. You can hear the cows mooing when the cattle track swerves off the freeway, for example, as well as the screeching of the tyres. The Aftershock effects track may be too but I have never been able to place it in the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,698 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 The "Earthquake Effects" is the first 3 or so minutes of the main 'quake (complete with bells ringing, and cows mooing). "Aftershock" might just be trying to demonstrate how Sensurround works on a 2.0 system (it doesn't!). Actually the "Aftershock" track might come from the bit when Genevive Bujold hangs on to a tree for dear life.The effects in the "Medly" are all there in the film, but are not as "condensed" as the album suggests.

Omen II 1,236 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 The effects in the "Medly" are all there in the film, but are not as "condensed" as the album suggests.Yes. For anyone that doubts whether the album is a rerecording, compare the album version of the main title... ...and the film version: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,240 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Thanks for that, Jay. Was this the case for "Jaws"? The Jaws album is an entirely different recording from the OST. And (I haven't listened to it in a long time) at least several cues are considerably extended compared to the original versions, notably the fugue and Promenade.
