I'm trying to think of something technical to ask.....meanwhile, do you have any good stories about working on Altered States, or 1978 Lord of the Rings?
Thx!

I typically either use my DAWs built in multichannel reverb or use Valhalla Reverb and put a seperate instance on each channel and modify delays/wetness levels on each.What kind of reverb do you use? I programed one on my Eventide that took a whole processor but it as close to analog that I ever heard. Lush, smooth, real...
Haha! I guess I was asking about any specific sound challenges you had to resolve?I've got stories on both that could fill a book. Poor Ralph Backshi a misunderstood genus. Do you have any specific questions?
I came up with an idea for the sound in the trip scenes reading the script. I wanted thing to spin around the room but I had only mono surrounds. I did have a Pet computer and wrote software the was able to spin and do other movement effects.Haha! I guess I was asking about any specific sound challenges you had to resolve?

I put a speaker and a stereo mic in my pool to record the the bubbles for the opening scene. I had the mics hung from a lawn chair hinging over the edge. One had twisted so I crawled out on the lawnchair. Past the center of gravity. Yes I had my wallet in my pocket
What is it about mono surrounds that keeps sounds from spinning around the room? I did it in 1989 with a 4-bus mixer, my insert encoder for back encodng, and a Dolby Surround amplifier. I could pan any sound to any direction and hear it in that direction.
I built my own upmixer to 9.1.4 and listen through it. I also augment and/or create my own .1 channel.
I don't know if they used the Goldwyn 4-track master or the Todd 6-Track 70mm print master for the 5.1 DVDs.
There was no Baby Boom on the 4-track and I derived it from the front channels of the 4-trk when we made the print 70mm master.
I have the original version of the original film. For me it is about memories...sFrom what I remember they used the 6-track 70mm print masters for the 1997 Special Edition re-releases of the 3 films, digitally remastered. A couple of things were changed for Episode IV (lines of dialogues, some sound effects...)
For the 2004 DVDs they made entirely new mixes with stereo surrounds for 6.1 . The stereo on the surrounds was actually accidentally reversed for Ep.4. (I think this was the last time Ben Burt workd on these mixes.) This was corrected for the 2011 Blu-Ray reissue along with a new remix, again, for Ep.4...
Then all films in the saga were remixed in Atmos for the latest 4K and Blu-Ray reissue.

PS do you know what they used to create the Stereo Surround for the DVD?
Did they take the Baby Boom off of the 6-Track? There was a lot on there and I rode the fader while making the print master so it has dynamics.
LOL There is a very good reason I spent a lifetime behind the console.Mr. Katz! Have you ever tried making music or singing professionally?
