Josh500 1608 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Either sessions style or album style. But I suspect if the former, we'd get hundreds of cues. So album style is fine, as long as the pieces are complete and in chronological order. aj_vader 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holko 8034 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Complete composer's intent like '97, but with no misplaced inserts - those can go to the back as bonus alternates. Actually, for the OT, I'd be fine with the 97 version but from the actual digitized master tapes this time instead of the water-damaged, badly stored fourth-grade copies á la RotJ.

BloodBoal 7536 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 The scores would never be released in sessions style. No point in that: some cues are meant to segue into one another (and were written wtih that in mind), so that's how they should be (and will be, when the complete scores will be released) presented on album. mstrox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post crumbs 12625 Posted August 9, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2017 Some kind of hybrid of the Anthology and SE formatting. The longgggg tracks on the SE in ROTJ are a drag. Would much prefer The Emperor's Death was its own track, as presented on the Anthology, rather than 2 minutes hidden somewhere within 3x 12 minute tracks. I think even MM regrets the way he sequenced that. Sharkissimo, Holko and aj_vader 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His formatting of newer expansions is a good indication of how he'd do it (for example, Visitor in San Diego isn't combined with Ludlow's Demise despite being written as such).

His formatting of newer expansions is a good indication of how he'd do it (for example, Visitor in San Diego isn't combined with Ludlow's Demise despite being written as such). In some cases he even creates a little gap between consecutive cues meant to go together like The Stegosaurus and the Visitor in San Diego on the new TLW release where both are labeled "Extended" when in truth there is no new music, just two cues separated by a sliver of silence when they were more tightly edited on the OST. Which I assume is a compromise that will please the fans who love their cues separated and can if they so want create those clear endings and beginnings. crumbs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 2510 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 As intended, but with inserts and film alternates in a bonus section. Essentially, if I can hear it in the film, it needs to be on the set somewhere (or re-creatable from it) I think the question of combining cues should be left down to whether they were written to be combined.

filmmusic 1249 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 By the way, studying now the star wars special editions soundtracks, i saw that they had placed the inserts as they pleased in the cd! In Empire Strikes back, the insert in 2 instances I think, was placed right after the passage it was meant to replace. (i think such was an instance with an insert in A.I. too) In Return of the Jedi (i'm on track 2 right now) the insert (which replaces a portion of a cue) is placed after the whole cue is ended, right before the next cue starts. In that regard, I would like the cues repeated with the inserts so that we have one original cue and one alternate cue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 6830 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I also want a "Mike Matessino" treatment.

Might have been in a document hosted by this website. Were they able to save them? No, they were left to rot. You probably read that in Chris Malone's "Recording the Star Wars Saga" document. It wasn't the ESB masters, but those for the original Star Wars film. "During preparation of the Special Edition films, sound designer Ben Burtt and his team located all audio recordings for the trilogy in order to source the best versions of dialog, effects and music tracks for a new 5.1 split-surround remix. At this time the original, unedited three-track 35mm magnetic film recordings of Star Wars were located as well as the 16-track master session tapes. Vice- President of postproduction at 20th Century-Fox TV, Ed Nassour, discovered the magnetic film recordings in 1986 by accident. 'They were in the back of an old editing room where a leaky roof had soaked the cases. Fortunately, the contents were still in good shape. I informed [music editor] Len [Engel], and the material was quickly placed in proper storage'." http://www.malonedigital.com/starwars.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too like having every cue with a clean ending and clean beginning, in case I'm just interested in a particular part in a lengthy musical sequence, but I've got the recording sessions for that. I'd rather have the cues combined as intended on an official complete release. Pretty much yes although the musical flow is what I think is an important factor. E.g. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom has very long stretches of continous music but I would not like to have that score compiled into those long 15 minute suites. Then again I never had problems with the mammoth pieces like the Battle of Hoth presented as a one long piece. So I guess it varies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Datameister 1651 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I personally would prefer straight sessions style, leaving me to edit the tracks together as I please. What I actually expect to get is a version with certain cues combined and others not, which isn't the end of the world. The main thing for me is that all the music is present, chronological, and well-edited (or not at all). And I'm pretty sure that's what we'll get.
