Daft Punk – TRON: Legacy (Complete, Film Mix, Lossless)

Greetings, programs and happy Friday! Been working on this one for the past few days.
I made this version a few years ago, but it kinda sucked and needed a lossless upgrade.
So finally, I’m proud to present everyone the film mix one of my favorite film scores of all time.
First and foremost, this edit would not have been possible without Metrotokyo.
5 years ago, he flawlessly ripped the Blu-ray of the entire film and made his custom version.
While I derived all the film versions from his edit, it is in no way the same thing.
His version is the complete score including all versions of all cues.
A custom compilation of everything available that was written and recorded.
My version is literally the entire soundtrack heard as it is in the film – including source cues.

While this is basically another of my top-notch film mixes, it has one difference from all the others:
it includes dialogue and SFX sprinkled throughout. This was intentional, I didn’t do it to cut corners.
I always loved hearing Jeff Bridges in "The Grid",
so I figured I’d continue with that and add some others things here and there.
In my humble opinion, I feel that it really works and only adds to the listening experience.
So don’t turn this down, give it a try before you look at it and say "I don’t like it" before trying it.
Don’t be the child who turns down food before they’ve ever had it :p

Format is 16-bit, 44.1kHz ALAC.
As usual, post if you want the link, I do not answer to PMs.

Hope you guys enjoy it 🙂

A link would be nice! The concept that you describe is interesting. It’s like "Duel of the Fates (Dialogue Version)," only it’s multiple tracks.

I kinda wanted the score to tell a story. I chose what I thought were the more important dialogue parts (in the cues that they’re present in). I really like it.

You’ll often hear people say the music can tell a story on it’s own. Yet, the music in films are there to help with the story being presented. To have a compromise between both is a brilliant concept, especially since we’ve had a well received version prior that is only the pure music.

PS: I love your cover

Cheers

So which would you rather a film mix of:

TRON: Legacy or Thor: The Dark World?

:p

I always play and carry both versions of The Grid.
The voice-free version is nice on its own, but the weight of Kevin Flynn’s voice really has its impact on re-establishing the franchise, too.

Damn. I use foobar2000, but all these pretty playlists are making want to switch to iTunes.

foobar2000….first world problems. Am I right??

Hah, indeed. I’m excited to hear this. Thanks for the hard work.

I’m excited to share it with you guys. Just wish I was able to upload it last night.

It is hard work, but it’s what I love to do.

I’m interested to hear what you did with, and how you implemented the SFX. 😉

Also, what program is that in your OP, the one showing all the tracks?

I’ve seen other people with it, but don’t know what it is….

…And a question too. The Lightjets track; does it have the "breakdown" from in the film where Kevin Flynn asks Tron "what have you become?" That’s one of the omissions from every single complete edit I’ve come across and it’s something I’d love to have in soundtrack form.

(EDIT) Actually, Metrotokyo might have that already. Wow. Didn’t realize there was a new version there. I’d still love to hear this version though!

Itunes?

Whoa! Could I have a link to the goodness as well?

It’s called iTunes. You should start using it.

Woah! I’d love a link! Please!

Well, you’ll have to listen to mine and find out 😉

Yay!

That was intentional, just like how I included the dialogue and SFX.

Thanks!

Received. Thanks Program.

That’s user! I am the CREATOR

My Mistake. :p

Hello, can I have the link please? Thanks.

Link recieved and thank you very much, Dak!

Link received! So far I’m really digging it. Sound quality is great, and I can just imagine the hard work that went into picking what dialogue to keep. It’s like an audiofilm. And I can’t imagine many films would work with this, but Jeff Bridges’ voice is so fucking cool that it just works. Anyways, thanks!!!

Happy to hear it. Keep enjoying it 🙂

LINK RECEIVED

Hkai and kyraamy, you need more posts before you can send/recieve PMs.

thank you very much.

Cheers

Thanks in advance Dak! 😀

How could I miss this?! I’d really love a link of this, especcially with those great SFX that perfectly team up with the score 🙂
How much dialogue is in it?
Also, did you manage to get the Film Version of "Lightjets"?

Thanks in advance Dak! 😀

I won’t answer any of these, you just have to listen for yourself and find out :p

APV asked the same thing, take a look (Thread 203206).

If you could then, a link my way?

Just came here to say that the custom cover you made for this edition is very well done. Good job!

Thanks, Butterflies. It was a fun one to put together, and has come out very well, especially in iTunes. 🙂 Check my blog for a couple others.

Do I gotta publicly shame you and tell you you don’t get a link until you’ve seent the film? You know better. We’ve discussed this :p

Haha I know, I know. I just can’t wait to hear more of the music. You know I how badly I want to see the film. :p

Guess you shouldn’t sent that link, huh? :p

Guess you shouldn’t sent that link, huh? :p

Your loss. Listening to it before seeing the film will not only ruin it, but SPOIL it. This is a fact (remember, I made this version). You’ve been warned.

I was going to wait until I saw the movie. 😉

Link received. Thanks.

The artistic decision to include SFX/Dialogue around this community takes a sack. I get killed for leaving any sound effects in work I do, whether impossible to remove or not. Props.

It’s very near the top, if not at the top. :p

Can’t wait to hear this Dak!!

The Interstellar edits with sfx are great. It’s pivotal to the experience.

I think we get too spoiled with sessions and complete final_mix scores here.
Not that those should end, but they help a lot.

Well don’t look at me lol. Star Wars is out of my league :p

Bull, Your The Film Mix King!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can’t wait to hear this Dak!!

Done.

Bull, Your The Film Mix King!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is true, I do need to live up to my reputation. I’m just not as familiar with Star Wars as other people around these parts are. All the film mixes I’ve done – I know those scores like the back of my hand. I’m not likely to jump into a project where I don’t know the material that well.

Not to mention, it might be treading on different waters as there’s the Audiophile edit for TES.
Some might find it blasphemy to do any edit that isn’t that.

The nice thing about the film mixes DaK works on, is that they’re mostly newer films.

The OT for Star Wars is dated with so many re-releases, you would not only have to know the film, but find out which versions are the best to work with.
Some just have a very limited source for quality, so not a lot can be done for some tracks.

You stand a better chance tackling the PT instead.

The one critique I’d offer is that at least for me, since I’m listening primarily to enjoy the score, unless the SFX or dialogue are an integral part of the scene that really complements the score, I find it pulls me out of enjoying the music and, especially with the SFX, creates an auditory dissonance that the dialogue on its own does not. I say that because if it were the dialogue and SFX I really wanted to listen to and not the score, I’d just watch the movie, right?

For example, I get why you’d want to include all of the dialogue for Bedtime Story, though I could do without the background sounds, but with the Throne Room and Fireworks/C.L.U. Crowd Intro tracks, I thought the inclusion of all of the dialogue and SFX made it less enjoyable as a musical presentation as the score is virtually crowded out, and thought they might benefit from some more judicious editing focusing on just the core dialogue rather than the entire sequence with SFX. Of course, I don’t know what that particular scene means to you, though, so I’m sure you have your own reasons for wanting to present it that way.

One thing I was curious about was why you chose to include certain lines of dialogue in different tracks and not others. Personally, I think I would have included things like Flynn asking "Ever hopped a freight train?" before Solar Sailer, or C.L.U. telling Castor "Enjoy the drink," or "End of line, man!" in Enjoy the Drink, or other similar moments from the film.

One example of what I think is a great inclusion of SFX that adds more presence to the tracks, is where you mixed in Flynn’s power-down SFX at the end of Party Crashers bridging to Flynn Drops In, which fits perfectly, and which I was really tempted to do back with my v1 set years ago too.

Anyway, thanks again for sharing your take on one of my all-time favorite scores. I’m gonna have to go watch the film again now. It’s a crying shame Disney pulled the plug on the sequel. I was really looking forward to hearing another Daft Punk/Trapanese masterpiece collaboration.

I also agree with you Metrotokyo, but whenever I hear this amazing score I always ask myself how it was possible in 2011 they have not received an Oscar nomination :/ just why ? why?

Thank you again DAKoftheOTA for your work and sharing 😉

OverThe Flop, you need more posts before you can send/receive PMs.

I’d love a copy, thanks!

Could you please send me the link?

Thank you in advance!

Was it a bluray rip?
Audacity and Audition don’t open lossless DTS, they open the lossy core.
The movie is 7.1, so opening in Audition should open it as 5.1 instead, which means the lossy core was read instead of the lossless extension.

Thanks

Link please….

Thanks

When you have 2 or more posts please….

Thanks

No, I guess Dak hasn’t sent links yet 😉

This is correct. Been busy with work. Though I did bring my Mac with me, so I’ll try to get to everyone later this evening when I’m back in the Bates Motel.

Thanks again!

Thanks much.

Many thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot!

EDIT: Recieved. Thanks.

There is a full minute of silence at the end of the track that starts around 3:50 and I tried to trim the silence using tools like ffmpeg and audacity, but the audio quality drops. The options to manually trim silence from MP4 files are pretty limited.

Is it possible for you to trim the end silence from track #5 (1m04a ENCOM, pt. I.m4a)?

Nope, sorry. This was intentional. It’s a film mix, everything plays as heard in the film.

But the people who’ve only posted three or four times below me have enough? <shrugs>

Correctomundo!

YAY !!

THANKS

Thanks!

Edit: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

I DON’T MAKE MISTAKES

Of course I do, I’m only human :p
But no, that is not a mistake. That’s where I decided to cut it. And all the silence in 1m04a is not a mistake either. The entire mix plays out as heard in the film. 100%.

It’s unfortunate that Disney soiled the relationship with Daft Punk.

How do you mean?

Daft Punk’s former manager claims they were not involved in the remix project. Of course, I should have clarified it was not directly from DP. Source: http://www.nme.com/news/music/daft-punk-129-1291969

Edit: Link received. Many thanks!
