Intrada Soundtrack Forum

Even TOP. MEN. might be grateful to know exactly what to look for so I'm posting my visual aid of what I think is going wrong with that section here too:

Interesting development, this, and as much as I bleed Intrada, it seems there might be some odd anomaly with a particular mastering device being used?
I dont have Sleepy or the reissued Caeser yet, but this sounds like something I've heard on Night Crossing's reissue & one of the Ten Commandments album programs (the shortest one) - a digital "smack" like a record skip.
Funny thing is that it seems half of us hear it, half don't!
Not tossing fuel on the fire, just adding a cent.

Okay here's the story on that track from Sleepy Hollow. That cue is a complete take...there was no assembly done at that point so what you're hearing is the musicians are just not together there. What discs 2 and 3 -- the complete score presentation -- intended to do is use all of the production takes (referred to as "circle takes" because they are noted on the recording sheets literally with a circle with a p in it to allow the editors to know those are the takes to use in the film). For the original soundtrack album, Elfman must have elected to use an alternate take (possibly because of that performance moment). But our intent was to use the production takes. So you have both versions! Elfman didn't mind when he approved the masters and practically speaking there is nothing to fix.

Huh.
Is it like this in the movie? Did they just forget to mark the donor take?
