Just listened through again. House to myself, big 5.1 system, no distractions.

Oh man, it's good.

This might/does sound gay, but when Trent's voice chimes in in Is Your Love Strong Enough, I literally got shivers up my spine. Literally.

Ditto! So powerful!

Brilliance all around TGWTDT!

My main thing is though that honestly I think a lot of the 24/96 thing is a mentality people have. Again, I hear no advantages from it, over a wide variety of genres on a wide variety of sound systems. Sometimes I think I'm hearing something but then I won't hear it later so I've deduced it's probably just wanting to hear something from it and my mind filling in the blanks.

It wouldn't be used for any type of remastering in the first place if the differences weren't there. That doesn't mean a person's senses are going to pick up all of the differences, but from 16 to 24 bits they'll at least notice some difference. So no, it's not just the sound of insanity you're hearing.

What kind of difference? What should people look for? You can tell me "you'll hear it" all you want but no, I need some elaboration on it.

It's like vinyl all over again, where people told me I would hear a fuller, "warmer" sound and all I heard was a higher noise level and the occasional pop and crack.

Seriously, why are people still bitching and arguing over the sound quality, which I am finding flawless? I'm not an insane audiophile, but I don't accept anything that has any distinguishable flaws or lower quality, and I'm finding this soundtrack to be of perfect quality.

Can we not all just buck up and enjoy this masterful work of art?

"What If We Could" reminds me a little of one of the instrumentals from Still. What a great piece.

Anyone know what these extra four tracks on the Oscar sampler are?
nintrentfreak, I'm kind of looking at you as you posted the images...

And there are none, probably. The TSN sampler ( [www.ninwiki.com] ) had multiple tracks repeated, and whilst it did have one original track (Dinner With Sean), I think TRAR probably have put one version of every piece of score they've made on the OST this time round.

I certainly hope so, because if there ARE four extra tracks we're not getting...well, I'm just totally unsatisfied.










And being sarcastic.

If that rumor about NIN getting back together is true, then I'm excited.
<3 U Trent.

Did NIN break up?

Because i can't imagine Trent working without Reznor. tongue sticking out smiley

If you mean Trent writing for NIN as "NIN getting back together" then yes. And it's not a rumor when he said so himself.

 

12/10/11 11:52 AM

I love TGWTDT score...even more than TSN score...

Just wanted to add my 2 cents.

Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross = Awesome!!!!!!

 

12/10/11 12:04 PM

Oh yea, and 3 CD's for $14. Not bad, not bad at all.

Thank you very much Sir.Reznor!!!!

Have you people not read the credits to Pretty Hate Machine?

But it's hard to put on a real concert with only yourself now isn't it? -TreyS

Regarding that "for your consideration" sampler you've gotten your hands on. Those are made for various award groups that require having only original music composed specifically for and used in the film put on a disc. There's nothing in there you don't have longer and more listenable versions of with the official release. The titles refer to the cue lists that the editors, director and everyone else uses to refer to scenes.

 

12/10/11 1:26 PM

OMG! Well, I haven't posted on this forum in over 9000 years, but I better pop in and mention that I think Immigrant Song, A Thousand Details, Great Bird of Prey and Is Your Love Strong Enough? are my faves at this point. smiling smiley #stats

If anyone can pick up two extra tickets for the screening in SF let me know! Can take the five hour trip today because it's the weekend before finals. I'll provide money if need be but just need some help getting the tickets. Thanks!

The tickets are 2 per person, so I don't think anyone will be able to I'm afraid

That's what I imagined but I still wanted to ask in case anyone is going there as a couple or something.

 

12/10/11 2:21 PM

This is gonna be a long movie judging by the length of the score.

 

12/10/11 2:26 PM

Ooooooooonly 2 h 40 min or so, right? Hehe. Thank fuck for that, at least. 8D
Maybe some tracks were just allowed to grow longer than necessary, or they had this 3 h film blob and no one had yet decided which bits would be cut??? *is rather clueless on moviemaking*

Thank you for the precision, Trent.

Just don't look at ETS right now because there are a bunch of nerds over there who are comparing the soundtrack coming from different sources and OMGWTFBBQ, source A of track X is 1.03 second longer than the same track from source B!

I love my ETS nerds. spinning smiley sticking its tongue out

Fincher has a director's cut that is ~3 hours, the studio forced him to make it shorter.

You know, I was just listening to this massive amount of music. Suddenly out of nowhere, I mean I don't even know why it happened, I burst into tears. Like, with every song, I'm just crying my eyes out. I finally got to the HTDA track and lost my fucking mind. I love this man. I'm hearing amazing things in this. It's just so. I can't even describe. Wow. Wow.....WOW.

happened the same to me.

Damn the Tman speaking to me, I'm a total fanboy.

I typically don't listen to the sort of music that would drastically feature the dynamics you speak of though

The vast majority of music up to the late 90's features the dynamics he/she is referring to. Around 1991 it was rare to hear an album come out with the massive amounts of dynamic range compression currently used.

Example:

Red Hot Chili Peppers - Blood Sugar Sex Magik (1991) - 14dB dynamic range
Red Hot Chili Peppers - I'm With You (2011) - 3dB dynamic range

Loudness wars has ruined many a CD of late.

Vinyl is often mastered differently and not as heavy-handed as the CD, so yes vinyl can sound fuller and more immersive but not just because it's vinyl, because the mastering was far superior.

This is a good video to describe what's happening to dynamics, but you have to keep your volume at one level throughout otherwise the effect is ruined (start with it fairly loud) - [www.youtube.com]

Not saying that has anything to do with 24/96 vs. 16/44.1, but if the 24/96 files have less dynamic range compression then like vinyl there is an additional reason outside bit-depth and sampling rate to desire them.

Any news on whether TR&AR are interested or on for scoring the next two films? Not heard a thing.

Trent has said he'll be less busy next year, so it's possible he won't, but Atticus doesn't do interviews much sadly so I'm not sure there.

Fincher has also threatened to not do the next two due to the production company cutting his Director's cut a significant amount, so who knows what's going to happen?
