Naïve Old Fart 9,512 Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 A quick "Blade Runner" question: in the film, Bryant tells Deckard of the "fail safe" of the replicants - the 4-year lifespan.Being a blade runner - even thought he is a retired one - wouldn't Deckard know this, already?

Faleel 5,345 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I kinda want to know how he mixed it, and if there are any ways to make music sound anywhere similar to that kind of sound in Audacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 50 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 A lot of that has to do with the recording itself, not the mixing. The microphones and their positions. It's not something you can fake with a simple audio program. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naïve Old Fart 9,512 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 A quick "Star Wars" question:So...Darth Vader docks his imperial cruiser at the Death Star. He then stays at the Death Star for the duration of the film. What happened to the cruiser? Did it go somewhere else? Why was it not deployed at the battle of Yavin?

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/DevastatorThis is the ship. I know this (and many other things) from the 1995 Star Wars Customizable Card Game. This article doesn't really mention what it was doing, but it was apparently the ship that pursued the Falcon from Tatooine. So, Vader must have transferred to a different ship when he traveled to the Death Star?As for the recording of Superman, maybe this article on Star Wars can help you out?Alan Snelling was Eric Tomlinson’s assistant from 1975 to 1979 and recounted “Eric’s order of the day” for miking Star Wars, which included many Neumann and Telefunken tube condenser microphones – see side bar. 20 It was this choice together with prudent placement and Tomlinson’s wide stereo panning that gave Star Wars and the Anvil recordings from the 1970s their distinctive sound.

Delorean90 42 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Just occurred to me tonight: Why the hell has there never been a Woody Allen film with a score by Randy Newman? That would be amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Woody Allen doesn't use composers. He only did it once, oddly enough, with Philip Glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delorean90 42 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Exactly--it's happened. I was just listening to "Lonely at the Top," and I thought, "Damn, if Randy Newman wouldn't knock a score for a Woody Allen film out of the park, I don't know who would." And it seems like there are other films of his that had at least some original music. Even just some Newman songs would be terrific. They just seem like such a great match.EDIT: Yep, Take the Money and Run and Bananas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,251 Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 It appears his first four films had original music for them, from 69-73. Fairly certain post-Annie Hall is all jazz and classical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maglorfin 196 Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 How did Eric Tomlinson make Superman: The Movie sound the way it does?I'm not sure what you mean, since I don't have the FSM box, but to me it sounds all right, very similar to the miking and mixing of Star Wars.I guess it must've had something to do with acoustic and sonic qualities of the Denham studios and its Anvil stage where a lot of 70s and 80s scores were recorded, many of them by Tomlinson.The Anvil scoring stage possessed a clear and well-defined ambience with dimensions of approximately 65 feet across, 80 feet deep and 50 feet high. 19 Orchestras of up to 120 players could comfortably fit within the space. [...] The studio was readied for recording in half a day during which approximately 23 microphones were carefully positioned at distances ranging from two to ten feet from instruments. Alan Snelling was Eric Tomlinson’s assistant from 1975 to 1979 and recounted “Eric’s order of the day” for miking Star Wars, which included many Neumann and Telefunken tube condenser microphones – see side bar. 20 It was this choice together with prudent placement and Tomlinson’s wide stereo panning that gave Star Wars and the Anvil recordings from the 1970s their distinctive sound.You can find this and a lot of other interesting information here and here.

Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Quick question: What kind of music is this exactly? Is it a sort of African new age?

That's not from The Lion King, of course Parts of George Fenton's wonderful score for Cry Freedom inhabit the same sound world. Listen to this, for example, in which you can hear the composer himself performing some of the vocals (all the names at the beginning).[media=] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muad'Dib 1,801 Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Another question: I seem to recall that for The Mission temp-track, they used an existing classical piece for Gabriel's Oboe scene, and when Morricone watched the scene with the original music, he said something of the sort like "How can I write something as beautiful as this?".I remember I heard the piece some time ago, but I can't recall its name, or even the composer.Does anyone know?

Naïve Old Fart 9,512 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 The original Jaws LP is 100% a re-recording made at a later date by Williams with a different orchestra just for the soundtrack release.The actual recordings used in the film were not released until 2000 by DeccaThanks for that.

Wojo 2,453 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think it is, but since the movie is set in Los Angeles, most of the Christmas decorations and themes are superficial. Not as prevalant as, say, Die Hard 2, which takes place on Christmas Eve in a snowstorm in Washington D.C.The first Lethal Weapon is also the only one I saw in its entirety.

Delorean90 42 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 Yeah, you can hear them pause to try to correct it at 9:28.
