Giftheck 919 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 the LSO are pretty good performers...thye may habe been able to replicate that cue since its the same cuesheet... Replicating the waveform though is next to impossible. I've checked - granted the slight differences between DVD-quality audio and the album, the waveform is a rough fit, and not a loose rough either - the waveform actually quite firmly fits (although again the quality is a factor)In fact, I will upload the pieces and let you listen to them (although tomorrow as I am just about to run out of Internet time) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,052 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I suspect that you may be overanalysing this. Is there a logical (and musical) reason for a transition between cues at that point in the film?Has someone definitively proved that the 'End Credits' opening is tracked from TPM? I remain unconvinced!Tracked:Not tracked: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Skywalker 1,798 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 maybe its' just me but those waveforms are not 100% identical? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Datameister 2,052 Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 They're not, but they're closer than you could ever get with two distinct performances. The differences could be easily accounted for by different mixing, encoding, ripping, or whatever. It could maybe just be a coincidence if it were only this one part of the waveform that looked similar, but the whole thing is like this. Peaks and troughs in the same places, taking the same shape, just with minor discrepancies. You couldn't do that if you did two consecutive takes with the same exact setup and you were trying...let alone recording on different days three years apart, probably with some of the musicians (and physical instruments) being different and the setup of the microphones being slightly different and with all the human imperfections that make music wonderful...and with no intent to even try to replicate the exact same waveform.Case closed, as far as I'm concerned.

Jilal 569 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I think the 6m5 insert is the music after "6m5 Padme Falls" and before "7m1 Dooku Versus Obi-Wan".There isn't any room in reel six for that to happen - the last note of 6M5 overlaps the reel change. This score seems to have music running over *all* the reel changes; I wonder if this was an explicit instruction from Lucas given the digital nature of the picture? The Phantom Menace is very different in this regard, with music clearly stopping and starting at the end of each reel and the beginning of the next.Incidentally, 'HH' stands for Hot House Music, whose services appear to have been used for music preparation. The Revenge of the Sith cue sheet has similar designations (jkms - Jo Ann Kane Music Service) for cues assembled from pre-existing material.Oh, ok then. I bet that's why the track time of "Dooku versus Obi-Wan" is 2:21; i thought John did compose music for Obi-Wan being knocked out but George didn't like it and he used the intro for "Zam Chase pt. 1" with some timpani hits and a choir layered over it.

Giftheck 919 Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 I'm trying to figure out the timings of 4M4 and 4M5 of AOTC. In total, the length of both cues is 5:44. But the album track is 6:56, so I'm wondering if the Duel of the Fates piece is a separate insert recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,421 Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 Here's the deal with the 4 versions of the End Credits:Williams wrote a cue called "End Credit" intended to be used as the end credits of the film. This 131 bar composition was recorded on Friday January 18th and can be heard (partially! - more info coming soon!) on the OST in track 13 from 5:36-end.He also wrote a concert arrangement of the love theme that he called End Credit (CD Version). I unfortunately don't know a whole lot about this version. However, it must have been demoed for Peter Gelb (the head of Sony Classical at the time), since it was intended to be used as a single to promote the soundtrack release, and Gelb must have not liked it for whatever reason, so it was never recorded and Williams wrote an updated version.This revision was called End Credit (Gelb Version) and was a combination of newly written material as well as some portions of End Credit (CD Version), like so:bars 1-36 = unique original barsbars 37-52 = End Credit (CD Version) bars 27-42bars 53-60 = unique original barsbars 61-108 = End Credit (CD Version) bars 68-115This was ALSO rejected, so he then wrote End Credit (Updated Gelb Version), which only contained 5 new bars, with the rest cribbed from End Credit and End Credit (Gelb Version) [some of which, of course, was originally cribbed from End Credit (CD Version)]:bars 1-52 = End Credit (Gelb Version) bars 1-52 [bars 37-52 being originally bars 27-42 of End Credit (CD Version)]bars 53-61 = End Credit bars 20-28bars 62-101 = End Credit (Gelb Version) bars 53-92 [bars 61-92 being originally bars 68-99 of End Credit (CD Version)]bars 102-129 = End Credit bars 77-104bars 130-134 = unique original bars [the harp solo]bars 135-138 = End Credit (Gelb Version) bars 105-108 [which are really bars 112-115 of End Credit (CD Version)]This version was finally approved, recorded on Wednesday January 23rd, and released (partially! - more info coming soon!) on the OST as track 2, "Across The Stars".Phew!So to Summarize:1. End Credit = The intended end credits, recorded and (partially!) on the OST in track 132. End Credit (CD Version) = The intended concert arrangement of the love theme, never recorded.3. End Credit (Gelb Version) = First revised love theme concert arrangement, never recorded4. End Credit (Updated Gelb Version) = Final revised love theme concert arrangement, recorded and (partially!) on the OST in track 2I wonder what Williams must have felt like being asked to rewrite his concert arrangement not once but twice, and if anything like that has ever happened to him before or since?

I think 5m5 would end at 36 seconds if you're judging the time off the OST. Then of course 6m6 would end as ggtuck stated with the "Captured" segment. The clean ending for "The Conveyor Belt" is actually with TFU 1 the PS2 file music_CSDQ_FUM01. The rest of the ending is found in Battlefront 2.

Hauben 0 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Some interesting discussions about the AOTC score over here.Up until today, it’s still kinda unbelievable how badly edited the score for AOTC was: the looping, the tracked music on places where it wasn’t needed at all. The edit during the 2nd part of the meadow picnic is quite absurd and I still don’t get it why they didn’t use the original transition from the fire place scene to the “rainy ramp” scene.I have another question. In the movie, the transition between “Visiting prime minister” & “first kiss” contains some tracked music form the beginning of that cue. Could it be that the original transition is heard at the beginning of the “extended Naboo arrival” deleted scene? It contains some music I can’t really place and continues with the music heard at the island retreat balcony. I’ve been wondering this for some time.

King Mark 3,631 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 if you don't want to include DVD rips (like me) in your expanded edit, AotC is a lot more complex to do than RotS. There's a lost of little snippets of music which end up being useless until we get more of the cue (for example the first cue Ambush on Coruscant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giftheck 919 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 extended instrumentation?Before the Force Theme kicks in on 6M5, there's a missing section where the strings play before the Force Theme plays, and a note of the Force theme is edited down.

Check it against the album - that note is much more faded out for the transition, suggesting that something else was there. As well as this, in the film, the note at 6:38 of the GB file is longer in the film, and not artifically so - the strings repeat the same theme twice. The film DOES make one mistake - tracking the Conveyor Belt note over part of it, and sadly all otehr video games cut out before the Force Theme even starts so we cannot be sure 100%. Also, my theory seems to match the timings given on the cue sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
