So with the growing popularity Sparktank's end credits thread (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/end-credits-compilation-thread-mega-~sparktank-178821/) and Hack3rman's trailer stems thread (Thread 163015), it seems people are becoming interested in more than just official soundtracks and recording sessions. Trailer music I think is starting to gain a larger following than it has before, even though most trailers feature music not present in the final film at all.
With that said, I propose a bold idea: what if we had a thread in the Film and Television Download Links forum that served as a place to keep raw trailer audio all in one place? When I say that, I don't mean a thread with a bunch of Two Steps from Hell and Audiomachine music - I mean surround sound files straight from film trailers.
What would the use of this thread be, you ask? If you're into trailer music at all, you've probably heard music in a trailer that you couldn't find anywhere online, if you could even find the name of the music to begin with. Hack3rman's trailer stems thread certainly does have a large assortment of film trailers, but it's mostly films from late 2013 onward - you're probably out of luck if you're interested in a trailer from before then. A trailer audio thread would give you a better chance of finding that music you're looking for. In this thread I could download a 6-channel AC3 file with the audio to the first Interstellar trailer, for instance. With this file, I could remove the center channel, do some editing between the front and rear channels, and hopefully come out with a relatively clean copy of the music.
I'm posting this here because I want to gauge how much interest there would be in such a thread. I don't want to make the thread and then have no body be interested in it. It'd certainly be a huge undertaking, and most of the audio would probably have to be taken off of DVDs and Blu-rays, which is a time-consuming process. But if this were something that forum members were interested in, I'm sure we could amass a pretty decent assortment of trailers old and new. If interest is high, I'd create the thread and start off by adding a few links to newer films, and we'd take it from there.
I personally would love a thread like this, since there have been more than a few times where I was able to get the trailer music from the surround mix, (Days of Future Past and The Winter Soldier come to mind) and I know I can't be the only one who's done that.
Hidden poll option: "It's a good idea, but it needs to be more thought out."
So: thoughts? Questions? Love the idea? Hate it? I came up with this idea in the middle of the night a few days ago, so it probably sounded better then than it does now. :P
