So I made a thread a long while back which had the Song of the Lonely Mountain film version and the End Credit Suite.

I recently got the extended edition of the film which had two disks worth of special features (like the LotR Extendeds).

What I am posting here consists of:


A FLAC 24/48 7.1 surround sound version of Song of the Lonely Mountain Theatrical Version.
Two 5.1 FLAC 16/48 instrumental tracks for Song of the Lonely Mountain.
A slightly alternate version of My Dear Frodo in FLAC 16/44 stereo utilizing the menus from the Appendices.
A segment of a custom 5.1 FLAC 24/48 version of My Dear Frodo.
A special FLAC 24/48 5.1 version of the Appendices end credits from The Hobbit's Appendices bonus disks.

Now that's the way it should be done. Thanks for sharing :)

So the extended cut is released now? The Christmas present problem has just been solved.

Came out on Tuesday, but there have torrents for a while. I downloaded a blu-ray rip weeks ago

Thank you!

Good to have the unreleased version of "My Dear Frodo" in a great quality at last. Thanks!

Thanks. Can anyone provide another uploading service? Mega sucks b***s... Cheerio.

You're terribly mistaken. Uploaded.net and rapidgator suck balls, MEGA is one of the best

Oh okay. I need advice in how to use it. Neither FF, nor Chrome, nor IE will download files bigger than 250 MB... plus, mega makes my system go numb, mouse won't react... so what's wrong?! A hoster that does this, to me, isn't particularly userfriendly... Thanks for advice though, as I clearly CANNOT download the above file.

I use Chrome, and I download files larger than 250MB all the time. Especially from MEGA. When the page loads click "Download to Computer" and you're set. If the Download freezes for a long period of time refresh.

That's amazing, thank you.

Thanks! This is outstanding!

Wow! Very impressive. Thanks!

What software was used to extract the 7.1 DTS-HD MA?

use jdownloader... i never got it to work in firefox, it did work in chrome for a while, not any longer. the only web browser i can use for this is IE (go figure). but then i started using jdownloader and it works like a charm

What software was used to extract the 7.1 DTS-HD MA?

I actually took the film, ripped it to my harddisk using MakeMKV and made sure to extract the lossless track instead of the lossy core 5.1 track only. Then I ran that file through eac3to to extract the DTS-MA track to a lossless 7.1 WAV 24bit file (since DTS is just lossless PCM in a compressed packet) and began work on it from there in Adobe Audition in a 5.1 (or 7.1 for Song of the Lonely Mountain) 24/48 environment.

Hey JCH, could you rip the Rivendell harp source music for me? (I bought the DVD) in the EE its longer than the Theatrical.

Thank you.

I would like the Front, Rear and "New Rear" channels (seperate links if possible)

Thank you.

I can't seem to properly convert these FLAC files into an MP3. Any suggestions? I use All2MP3. :o

I can take a look into it. Not sure if the harp is in the surround channels with any prominence though....

Cool. Same process I would have done. Glad to see another techie enthusiast. :smrt:

Wonderful work!

Try Foobar2000.
I don't know the program you're using, but it might not like 7.1 as an input file.

With Foobar2000, you can set an to convert multichannel files to stereo.

Foobar2000:
Download foobar2000 and optional components (http://www.foobar2000.org/download)

Encoder pack to install with F2K:
foobar2000: Free Encoder Pack (http://www.foobar2000.org/encoderpack)

The Encoder Pack is always up to date, whenever any of the libraries are updated (FLAC, etc).

For MP3 encoding (using LAME), always grab the library bundles from RareWares. (F2K will ask where "lame.exe", just point to where you downloaded and extracted to. EG. "C:\Bin\Lame\Lame.exe" or something like that. I always keep things like LAME.exe and FLAC.exe in their own folders.)

It should convert easily this way.

You might also try Audacity with the FFMpeg codec and LAME Mp3 installed, you can drag and drop almost any file with audio into it and mix it down to stereo or however many channels you want.

Ty a lot for this! :)

Anyone had problem with track #5? It wouldn't play on my AIMP player. Had to convert it to MP3.

Probably because it's the only 7.1 surround file in the set. Something about it being 7.1 probably confused AIMP. Try using VLC or Foobar instead.

Awesome, thanks guys! :D

Oh wow, who do you reckon recorded the Appendices' credits? It certainly doesn't sound very Howard Shore. Plan 9 maybe?

Thanks, any news on this?

I took a listen to the channels. There's little to no surround presence. There's more ambient sound effects in the rear channel with the slightest echo of the flute part. Really, almost everything is in the center/front left & right channels. And even then, the front L&R are crowded with lots of SFX. The Middle Left&Right channels have no musical echo in them either...

Thank you!

So, this is an entirely new mix?

So, this is an entirely new mix?

It is slightly different. Also, the elven song is extended in the new extended edition so I guess it made sense to them to make it all sound the same. Also, the dwarfs interrupt the song with their own song so it would have sounded weird for a flute to power all the way through to the back channels and then have a dwarven song do the same thing at a much higher volume.

Also LFE output throughout the entire film was raised a little bit.

Alright, could you rip the bit axe in his head music? I want to see how they extended it (looping, full cue? etc.)

Great work, thank you

Thanks

Thank you

Hey everyone!

I made a FLAC 24/48 stereo copy of Song of the Lonely Mountain (Film Version) in this thread here: http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/song-lonely-mountain-film-version-corrected-stereo-166303/#post2551660.

I made a new thread because it needed a lot of explanation as to how I made it stereo and what corrections were made to make it sound good in stereo.

Thanks! :)

Just curious, do the music cues in the EE DVD menus suffer from this tinnyness?

Great one, thanks!

Cant wait to listen, thanks!

Just curious, do the music cues in the EE DVD menus suffer from this tinnyness?

No, they do not, since they are some crappy 5.1 dolby mix. It almost sounds like a shitty pro-logic stereo upmix, but there are actually 6 discrete channels of audio. No tinnyness to be found.

Yeah, it didn't sound too good, and the compression didn't help, though it was nice to have the cues sans sound effects.
