Holko 9,530 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 The last third of the waveform is what we're looking at and it's pretty different, but the spectogram is just a bit more purple in the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,086 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 In the 2018 release the frequency spectrum is not gradually decreased when it approaches 22kHz. Amateurish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,318 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Well, that spectogram was definitely interesting! Concerningly, the Jabba portion of the track appears (barring the additional pink tinge) almost identical to the 2016 scans, whereas the first 2/3 of the track has noticeable differences. The weird horizontal artifact throughout the entire Jabba portion also appears in both versions, which... yeah. Not looking good for those lost ROTJ tapes, it seems. The waveforms are very different though. My only explanation is someone did much more manipulation on the levels with the Sony set, whereas the Disney set was thrown together with much less finesse for volume adjustments. Seemingly both versions of that section came from the same scan. A high resolution comparison of just the final third of the track would probably yield more clarity.

Though there's still the chance that these new transfers were just from everything they had on hand and haven't looked for anything they didn't. Mike could still look for the missing sections and he's shown a knack for tracking down misplaced bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Ware 526 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 There is some misinformation in this thread. Unlike Star Wars and Empire, Jedi was never remixed for album presentation. There is no 'album mix'. Demondm810 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,530 Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Hmm. Still, if Murphy rebuilt the concert piece from the original sources, it would probably be at least a little different to the original mix that was also used on the album. Could we compare the 2016 and 2018 Parade of the Ewoks, too, to see if they are noticeably different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 1979 could be the year of outstandingly great special releases: Star Trek: The Motion Picture and 1941 by La-La Land, Alien by Intrada and presumably Dracula by Varese Sarabande are all releases that the producers put more than just the usual amount of care into.
