Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 2 hours ago, Zaralyth said: Yes. I hadn't listened to either for a while, but as soon as I turned on this track (it was the first one I listened to) it was easy to distinguish that it was better in the range of dynamics, it wasn't loud and obtrusive in my ears, the brass is very organic as it would sound in real life. They're not sessions but it's probably as close as we'll ever get. It is very good mastering. PROPER mastering in my opinion. I think there's an explanation for this difference. They've mastered both CDs differently for two different demographics. Those receiving the FYC would be wealthy industry people who can afford to own high-end hi-fi systems, so the CD has been mastered with these people in mind. However the OST is intended for the masses. It's the ghetto version that's been compressed more because most people who don't live in Tinseltown don't own hi-fi systems and demand their music to be more fully audible through their earbuds, laptop speakers and car stereos.

Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted January 14, 2016 Share Posted January 14, 2016 It makes sense though! John Williams' team would want the score presented as best as possible to the Academy to boost his chances of winning. But they couldn't give a shit about the plebs and their budget quality earbuds.

The nominees and winner of the oscar for best original score is determined by the music branch, not the entire academy members. That is the same for all categories except best picture which is voted on from all members since the idea is the film succeeds in multiple disciplines. The music branch academy members are made up from a variety of backgrounds with stylistic ranges but are all supposed to be prominent representatives of the industry with recognized accomplishments. It is sort of like a jury of accomplished peers selecting each winner (except best film where everyone has a say). So Spielberg does not vote on best original score.

Considering how I've heard Academy members describe their voting techniques, yes. The prime examples are having an assistant or family member do the actual voting and deciding that a movie is Oscar worthy, by not wanting to vote for the movie in one of the major categories (Picture, Director, and Acting categories) so they find a "minor" category (because, who actually cares about those categories) and vote for the movie rather than that aspect of the movie. (Uh, how do I keep a straight face and keep from strangling the ignoranus [sic] before me?) It's how I've made sense of more than one Best Score Oscar. (I love me some Goldenthal, but c'mon: his music appealing to the masses? Not bloody likely.) As for a FLAC or ALAC (or ALEX, whatever) version of TFA FYC disc to be posted on-line: check your favorite places for acquiring such items, it'll be there in time. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Please read the Forum Rules here: 08 - Discussion of music CDs before they are in stores (ie when they "leak" to the internet) is allowed, as is discussion of leaked recording sessions, sheet music, and other bootlegs. HOWEVER: a) You may not post a link to, or name of, any site where this material can be illegally downloaded. b) You may not offer on the public forums to send this material to anybody who PMs you. c) You may not ask on the public forums for somebody to PM you a link to this material. In other words: On the public forums, please discuss the music only, and not where to get it. This rule will be strictly enforced. aj_vader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruckhorn 105 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 That is a matter for the Admins and Mods to decide. I would hope that anyone planning on even hinting as to such a posting would PM the powers that be for pre-blessing. Its a murky point. While the material is readily available for free, it is at a lower quality. And that difference in quality is what may lean the big kahunas to decide against such posting.
