I realised that (I watched the movies often enough, after all), but I never listened to the leaks, so many of the cues are like totally new to me. In the movies, they are often barely audible.

Manakin Skywalker 4,900 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Also, we finally get the ending of "You're A Wizard Harry", which I believe was the only piece of film score missing from the sessions. redishere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,441 Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 In 2001 they edited everything with 2001 technology at 24/44.1 so that's what the leak is from (downmixed to 16/44.1 like the OST) This set, even though we are buying it on 16/44.1 CD, was completely edited mixed and mastered with 2018 technology from the 24/192 fresh transfers of the original tapes, so still sounds much better than the old files did. Plus, it's mastered whereas the leak was unmastered session files. Chewy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then it got rerecorded in COS when Ron shows up at Harry's window so fans call it Ron's theme. It's not. I disagree. If it was used at least twice for Ron, it can be called "Ron's theme." That use in CoS might have been coincide, but then again it might not. Regardless, one can't blame the fans for thinking of it as Ron's theme. It's a question of perception, there's no definite right or wrong here. 20 minutes ago, Holko said: CoS reuses it multiple times for Weasley moments!

crumbs 14,355 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I'm still curious about Azkaban's additional music section. Is it chronological? There's so many Dementor/Patronus focused tracks, many of which aren't listed as alternates (doesn't that usually mean they've already been released in some form, aka the OST?) It seems the 'ticking clock' has been retained in the film score presentation, so are most of these just the OST versions without the ticking? 21. Watching the Past [Alternate] 2:21 (confusingly, the sample sounds like the film version of The Dementors Converge. Perhaps the alternate Frozen Lake cue is the first half of this track, which I believe we confirmed was recorded due to the DVD menus?) 22. The Dementors Circle 0:46 (wonder what this covers that isn't already in The Dementors Converge [Film Version] and The Dementors Converge? Is this 0:25-1:15 of OST track Finale or an alternate excerpt of Watching the Past?) 23. The Patronus Light 1:16 (OST track) 24. The Patronus Power 0:47 (guessing this is OST track Finale 1:13-2:00, but isn't that already covered in Watching the Past? Different take?) 25. The Dementors Converge 3:15 (OST track) So many mysteries! How magical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,355 Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 4K video downscaled to 1080p will look better than something shot natively 1080p. It's probably a similar principal with audio fidelity. If your initial source has a higher resolution then you have more to work with from an EQ and editing standpoint.
