Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Music from the Official Trailer (custom edit)



A big shoutout to TheSkeletonMan939 (http://forums.ffshrine.org/member.php?u=638687) for providing me with a lossless stem to redo my previous edit!

You may have already heard the one I uploaded a few days back on YouTube (SGTBizarro), but this re-edit is far superior quality and I took much more care to get the track as polished as possible. I hope you all enjoy!!

Consider sending some rep my way if you enjoy the edit, and TheSkeletonMan939 as well for his generosity.

Fyreffect did a great job, and the FLAC version is much improved over his original edit. I can't imagine it sounding much better.

Thanks for this, it sounds amazing! :D

It sounds amazing!! Thank you for sharing this!

Thank you share!

This isn't bad. The perfectionist in me can pinpoint some flaws here and there, but considering I don't have a computer to edit on, this will do. Thanks a lot.

Thanks Fyreffect and Skelly. :D

Thanks!

this is fantastic thanks, gotta love the epic force theme!!

Great work!

Yes, this is really good. This is great. Thanks a lot :)

brilliant!

TY.

Jeeze this is just epic as hell :D thanks for this guys, I need this so I can loop it and not burn through all my data looping the trailer :3

Links updated, new files which include some additional corrections.

The stems are quite difficult.
It seems like both left/right channel have different points of fluctuation. A simple fix can't be done treating both channels as the same.

Thanks for the work.

Thanks for the work.

How right you are, I noticed some of that going on but I don't believe I'm adept enough to tackle the edit at that level of complexity.
I'm sure with enough time, someone with more skill could produce a cleaner copy.

But! I gave it my best shot :D

It's really good as it is right now.
But definitely open to more edits.

Another issue I notice is that percussive bass clips a bit.
Clipping in trailers is becoming quite common.
Some of the The Hobbit TBOFA had clipping in it.

I think the best approach would be to take one dip a day in one channel.

The Force is with you! Thanks!

Sounds really awesome! Thanks a lot to you, and to TheSkeletonMan939 too!
Love this piece of music :)

Thank you very much

to much people are still looking for the paradise somewhere, after life or something. I dont know

but its here, in front of you .. listen this track .. wonderful .. i am in heaven

Nice! Thanks so much!

Thanks for the music in Flac.

Thanks :)

Thanks a lot! :D

What happened to your computer Dak?

What happened to your computer Dak?

No clue. It's a 2009 MacBook Pro. Last Saturday was the last time it turned on. Woke up on Sunday and I got nothing. Though it's reading the battery, it has a full charge. I removed the bottom, cleaned it out and found nasty dust clumps in the fans. Also found what looks like a burned wire which connects to one of the fans. I'm no computer engineer, but I think that may be it, and I hope that's all it is. I dropped it off at the shop Saturday. As long as my HD isn't wiped, I'll be the 2nd happiest man on earth. (If my car can be repaired and I don't need a completely new one, I'll be the #1 happiest man on earth :))

That bites! Had a somewhat similar experience with my previous desktop a few months back.

Put new PC together and used it for a couple weeks, then plugged old one in to start copying files off and the power supply popped like the 4th of July as soon as I hit the power button. Was a fairly pricey Corsair too, the last thing I expected to happen. Some of my stuff was saved in cloud storage but there's way more offline than on. Thanks for reminding me, need to swap a PSU in there to see if it'll run and/or see if the HDD didn't get fried.

I hope your lappy turns out ok, losing data is damn painful.

Thank you guys !!!!
Great job !

Excellent work, thanks!!

Love it, thank you!

Great Work, Thanks!
Can't wait for the movie, it looks amazing!

That Han & Leia theme that plays around 1:05

Cool!!! Thanks a lot!

Any chance that someone delivers a clean version of williams' originals teaser #1 and #2?

Cool!!! Thanks a lot!

I totally agree!

This one is absolutely awesome! I can't wait for Williams' score!

I'm also looking for sfx free versions of the music from previous two trailers!!!!! Big thanks for everyone's efforts on this third trailer music post!

Very cool! Love this! Thank you!

Cool!!! Thanks a lot!

Unless leaked out the other two will most likely never be released. The only reason a clean version of this one came out is because the Disneyland Facebook page uploaded the wrong version of the final trailer

It's a shame something like that didn't happen for the other two trailers!!!!

Thank you!

There are quite a few cover versions of the 2nd trailer on YouTube. Unfortunately none for the first/teaser trailer.

Kind of late picking up on this but blocked fans aren't going to kill your laptop. It's going to put you in a nasty place when you're pushing its limits, yes, but if you treat her gently, you won't have any problems :) Did you already get it back?

WOW, Thanks for this

thx a lot mate !

Oh wow! Bravo!

what about this awesome music?

Thank you for this!

Any possible chance the same could be done with the International Japanese trailer?

Thanks again!

That Leia theme cue gives me goosebumps!
Thank you both Skeletonman & Fyreffect!

Thanks!

THANK YOU for your efforts!

Has this been confirmed as the actual score in the movie?

yes the first 20 second or so is one of the new themes

To those interested I have made a mock up of that theme (allegedly Rey's Theme) that you can watch here:

Ok, this starts on-topic and veers slightly off, but I need some help from other philes:

I use MP3Gain to standardize all my music so I'm not constantly adjusting volume. It's mostly served me well, with a few notable exceptions. I've had everything set to 89db for a while, but when I added the Mockingjay soundtrack and then this trailer music, both of them distorted heavily after I used the gain, and were normal again when I kept them at their default gain.

I decided to overreact and loaded my entire 100GB+ library into MP3G and set it to "Apply max no-clip Gain for Album". It worked fine, but now some things are insanely loud, and others (Mockingjay - 77.3db) are stupidly quiet, which negated my original intention of not having to mess with the volume constantly.

Is there a happy medium to this? Some way to not have distortion at higher levels? Is the distortion from my particular rip, or is it the way the music was processed for everyone? I listen to soundtracks about 18 hours a day, but I've never delved too deep into advanced audiophile stuff. :( Any insight would be fantastic!

I usually go with track mode instead.

On albums where they are seamlessly involved with other tracks, you can hear the obvious difference. But you deal because it's not even close to a third of the music that benefits the most from track-mode.

Foobar2000, when you scan for Album-mode, it gives you values for both track & album.

Keep apply max & no-clip, but for track this time.

The dcp/prores/dvcpro trailers for these clip in the source, so the clipping will result in the output project too.
Unless measures were to taken to smooth it out before further processing.

The Hobbit 3: TBOTFA had severe clipping in all sources, too.

Thanks for the info! I definitely have a few of my "problem albums" that are either nearly-silent or distorted to heck. So irritating.

I'm going to try the max no-clip overnight today, hopefully it's more sensible than album mode. Do you recommend a different tool other than MP3G? I'm open to suggestions! Also, is there a way to min/max the process? Like, can I do max no-clip per track, but no more than x-db, or no less x-db (even though that would pseudo negate the reason for doing it - I'd rather have a bit of distortion than silent music). Thanks again for the tips!

I generally use Foobar2000 for playback, replaygain and some conversions.
It's got all the different settings for ReplayGain that you need.

I hear this will be the first Star Wars movie scored in the USA and not in London with the LSO so will be interesting to see what happens

Interesting, thanks! Has anyone been able to isolate the track from the trailer?

thank you very much Fyreffect!!!

much appreciated!

Thanks for this! :D

Many thanks!

Thanks so much for sharing. The trailer music is the best of the hole film
