The Force Awakens Trailer 3 Music (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6SvXfvw6dHsb0xPM0VGMHFjcUk/view?usp=sharing)

Great ! Thanks

Thanks. :) Hopefully someday we'll get a clean copy. :D

To me I would rather watch the trailer itself to hear the music at this point. Thanks for your efforts though.

Sorry to say this, but I can�t hear anything. The file is wrong.

That's very odd. I just downloaded it for myself and it plays fine on my end. That puzzles me.

I played it with VLC and windows media player. It plays, but in silence.

Synth versions of Star Wars themes made to sound like all other modern trailer music... this is not what I would call outstanding. Thankfully we have a really talented composer doing the music for the actual movie.

It's asking me for a decryption key

Thanks. :) Hopefully someday we'll get a clean copy. :D

I hope this piece of electro-music no composed by John Williams will be not on the original score album.

what's the decryption key?

When a 5.1 mix of the trailer audio surfaces on Movie-List I'll take a stab at removing the dialogue and SFX properly.

decryption key?

Same, it's asking for decryption key

Where is the decryption key?

So sorry, everyone. I have updated the link above to a copy I uploaded to my Google Drive. Crazy Mega. chulocudeiro and anyone else, please let me know if the one at the new link is screwed up and silent, please. Again, sorry for the mess.

Who did the trailer music, by the way? Has a Brian Tyler-vibe to it. Tyler did the trailer music for another JW-film - Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, so maybe that's why I thought of him ;)

Thats clearly John Williams' score. Not a synth version of anything. Its the Han Solo and Princess Leia love theme and a new version of the Star Wars theme with drums added.

But Tyler didn't do the trailer music for Indy 4, they just used preexisting music of his for it. There is a difference.

Just because it uses his themes, does not mean it is his score.

Only from 1:20 on.


Says who?

Aparrently this video has music only

Thanks for the version of this, Forceboat.

Holy SHIT, Faleel, thanks for that link!

I shall begin editing a version without fluctuations!!

John Williams is the composer for the film and did the music for the previous two teasers. The music in this one is made of obvious variations of themes from the original scores, but other artists may have contributed in some way to this particular version. Time will tell.

Thanks FB!

Lol, on Facebook he said he "couldn't comment". :p

I think that that might have been a mistake on Disney's part.

I ain't complainin' though. :p

If that isn't basically the same music you shared here, i'm a monkey's uncle...

I knew the cues were different. So this guy made them? Sounds good.

This guy did a cover of the trailer music, and in my opinion it is really good.

Also made an edited .mp3, where I cut out the first six seconds of silence. Enjoy.

He has a SoundCloud site, so I grabbed the MP3 from there.
No silence and not transcoded from a lossy source.

Youtube uses AAC, so FFMPEG should have been used to copy AAC to new m4a container with a trim enabled to remove silence.
No transcoding, so first-generation lossy encode still intact.

SoundCould of the cover:
MP3 cbr@128

Even better.

Thanks.

Here's a proper edit of the youtube video.

downloaded 1080p MP4 (720p/1080p are encoded with higher quality AAC by youtube).
Used FFMPEG to trim silence and just copy AAC audio to new m4a container:

ffmpeg -i "Star Wars VII- The Force Awakens - Trailer Music Cover - YouTube.mp4" -map 0:1 -ss 00:06.500 -acodec copy output.m4a


AAC, proper edit, avg: 126kbps
https://www.dropbox.com/s/tx3y0pkar96yljm/swe7_Music%20Only%20%28cover%29.m4a?dl=0

Note that AAC is much more efficient than MP3.
AAC with average of 126kbps is far better than MP3@128.
In MP3 terms, AAC@126 is more like MP3@160-192.
It's 2015, afterall. MP3 needs to go full obsolete.

Thanks for the link AND info on AAC :)

I hope the whole score will sound like this. It's awesome :)

Nostalgia in a modern epic produced way.

Thank you so much for the links!

It reminds me of Battle Over Coruscant, from the opening of ROTS. No, it's not exact. But similar. Anyone else?

And thanks of course. Silly me, I should have opened with that. :)

maybe there are no compression on dialogue zone

Not sure what you mean.
The stems actually flucuate (dip and rise). Stereo music or 5.1 final/film_mix.

No matter the trailer, they're all dipping in volume.

Thats clearly John Williams' score. Not a synth version of anything. Its the Han Solo and Princess Leia love theme and a new version of the Star Wars theme with drums added.

First, this is clearly not Williams' score for the new movie. Anyone who has listened to his music over the decades can tell that this is just not him. It's great that people like the music in the trailer but, I've been rather shocked at how many people think this is the new score. If you want to know what the score will sound like then listen to the other 6 Star Wars scores or the countless other compositions from Williams' over the past 55 years. This trailer is not his style at all, not even close. After composing for over 100 movies, he's not going to suddenly change his style this drastically. I'm not talking about just the use of synths, I'm talking about the actual structure of the music. This is just not the way Williams writes, this is not from the new score.

Second, anyone that is familiar with real orchestral music can tell that this trailer is 90% synth. You can believe what you want to believe but, that is not an orchestra.

Better version

Wow. That is really nice.
The editing is almos flawless.
Can still hear some of the sonic noise from editing. But still a really nice edit.

Slightly disappointed it's not Williams. After six films, it would be nice to see him step out of his wheelhouse a little bit. Don't get me wrong, his work on this series is of course some of the all-time greatest, but almost forty years into the franchise would be a good time to introduce new elements.

Thanks Spark! That was my edit, I had posted it yesterday but lacked confidence in it so I removed it and just ULed it to YouTube to see what my subs thought. I'm more of an amateur in the audio editing world lol. I'm really glad you guys liked it and it got way more response than I thought.

I've been doing audio editing for years, and I'm still struggling to correct the volume fluctuations in this trailer. You did a great job, Fyre!

Thanks!

Oh oh oh oh... thank you!

Spark, this was awesome! Great job.

Awesome job everyone. It may not be John Williams' actual music, but everyone that has contributed to this thread that I started is most appreciated. :)

I've taken some time to polish up my edit a bit, here's an mp3 v0 link.

The last thing we need is for Star Wars to sound like every other generic blockbuster score written these days.

I have the stems. I'm using those.

Those 5.1 versions are likely sourced from Movie-List anyhow.

Zimmer is perfect for the trailer, Williams is perfect for the movie, I think. The trailer begins with new unknown music, but when the love theme from Episode V appears together with the Millenium Falcon, it gives me goosebumps, is a theme so romantic and yet so nostalgic, evocative.

I think that for jj abrams, directing a star wars movie is a big responsibility, in terms of being up to par with john williams' music.

I forgot, also so many thank you guys for the work with the trailer!

Honestly the music in the trailer was pretty good, and I don't care really who is responsible.

Thanks!

Which hardly describes the music in this trailer. And an artist of Williams' caliber -- one of, if not the greatest of all time -- could bring new elements into the score without having that happen. He introduced electric guitars into Attack Of The Clones without the sky falling.

Ah, the barking, yapping and mewling of the Music - "burn her, she's a witch" - Fundamentalists. I'm glad they spent their time on forums like these. Otherwise they'd be out in public annoying the rest of us by standing on soapboxes, banging tambourines and putting fig leaves on statues.

You have the stems for the latest Star Wars trailer? :D :D :D

P.S.: Don't know if this has already been mentioned, but I found this:


Frederick Lloyd, director and composer for films, TV, trailers and media, has since come forward on Twitter to announce that he contributed music to the latter half of the trailer, namely the Force Theme.
He has not revealed the full extent of his input and indicated that he is unable to go into further detail on the process.

I've spent several more hours today refining my edit, a few more adjustments, improved drum intro for Kylo, removed click at Vader reveal and improved sound of piano there, smoothed out crescendo leading into Han / Leia theme, smoothed 3rd and 4th measure of the Han / Leia portion, improved drum beats and background choir in the Force theme portion. Hope you guys enjoy.

Thanks guys, for all your work on this! The music in the trailer evokes exactly the feeling that should be in a good Star Wars trailer. With Newman including the Bond theme in his score for Spectre, it's been a good week :-)

ok, guys - so which version is the best? :)
