    The WHY Series ? Episode II

    I never thought of putting these recordings in that context before, as each track presented it?s own brand of challenges. But if I were to single one out, I would have to say the ?Fantasyland Darkride Suite?. For years I was trying to figure out how I was going to release these tracks.? Part of...

    Saludos Amigos & Three Caballeros

    Hiya BJWanlund, At the moment, there are no plans to release a true soundtrack for ?Saludos Amigos / The Three Caballeros?. And honestly, if I were given the OK to restore that soundtrack, I more than likely wouldn?t include any theme park material or radio spots. I?ve always treated the...

    Actually, it's not a mistake. It's a secret code! 3,33,2,38 Is the combination to the vault where I keep all of the Bruce Broughton masters. Now all you have to do is FIND THE VAULT! Randy

    The WHY Series ? Episode II

    Hey almandot! I know exactly what you?re saying. Including something that isn?t there is what I try to avoid at all costs ? because it?s just not right. Thinking back on it now (especially since you pinpointed exactly where the porcupine is), I remember working on that section (it was over 8...

    The WHY Series ? Episode II

    The Why Series Episode II: ATTACK OF THE VOCALS As I mentioned in Episode I, when you?re on the attraction and your ride vehicle moves you through the scenes, your movement acts like a natural crossfade ? as you move away from one, it fades away and while you move to the next it fades in...

    The WHY Series - Episode I

    I believe that I posted this before, but I couldn't find it, so I probably imagined the whole thing. Wouldn't be the first time. The Official Albums are Park Exclusives. We produce these albums specifically for the Park Merchandisers in much the same way we produce exclusive albums for any...

    The WHY Series - Episode I

    Hiya Horizons! It was part of the song file I received. Like ?Three Caballeros?, I had 2 files ? the song itself and the Load Cue (which I specifically asked for). The song was one of the tracks that I received already mixed (like Reflections of China) and according to the music publishing...

    The WHY Series - Episode I

    Re: almandot's Question Answered [I Think] Hey, almandot! I?m not sure I understand what you mean. It?s hard to describe audio in words ? its like ?dancing about architecture? (borrowed that line from Laurie Anderson). The loops I had were as they appear. I didn?t sync up the music bed...

    The WHY Series - Episode I

    The WHY Series Episode I: THE PHANTOM TRANSITION I was in the middle of writing a long dissertation on the varied techniques and formats used in recording for the attractions compared to the common techniques and formats used in average studio recordings for CD ? just to give a clear...

    Around the World Today + Disney Nights

    Re: Very odd question, didn't find an exact answer for it using search... bh7812, Walt Disney Records Japan (distributed by Avex Trax) has released a number of albums that fit your description. It is quite possible, along with the specially recorded tracks Bill mentions, that some may have...

    What is the reason for the OA not being avalible?

    Wow, sorry guys. If that's the case, I don't know what to tell you. People do have the CDs, both Disneyland's and Walt Disney World's, and I've seen posted images of both covers as well as descriptions and critiques of the contents. I wish I had an answer for you, but unfortunately I don't. Randy

    The Official Albums for 2008!

    Before I go on, I should point out that my explanations for some of the ins and outs of the music business are just in the most general of terms. Like in music education, you start off with scales, then chords, then harmony. What I bring here is just the basic info. Each project is different and...

    Soundtrack Question for Randy

    Re: Non theme park music question for Randy It all varies. There is no set "formula". Sometimes the producer (which may or not be the composer) selects what is on the album. Other times, there are limitations on how much music (particularly score) is included. Those limitations are often...

    The Official Albums for 2008!

    Welcome Forever Magic II! I actually explained both "Yo Ho" and "Grim Grinning Ghosts" earlier in this thread - pages 23 and 26 respectively. In short, there will be no update in the foreseeable future. For MiklCraw4d, That applies to recordings not recorded under a phono agreement. If...

    The Official Albums for 2008!

    Christopher, I don?t know the answers to the questions you?ve asked. If I did a ride-thru, I might have that paperwork. But I didn?t. If the composer himself cannot help you, I certainly can?t. Just to be clear, I don?t work on the attractions or have any involvement with WDI (or The Parks)...

    What is the reason for the OA not being avalible?

    I don?t really know what you mean. The albums haven?t been held up. They?re out and several people have already picked a few copies up. If you mean the delay from the street date to the time they appeared on the shelves, I did forewarn people in this post ? When the albums make it to the...

    I think I should clear some things up. WDWGuy, Please don't think that I believe your devotion is a bad thing. I most certainly don't. Your hard work in letting folks know of Mr. Broughton is quite commendable. But you should know that I look at suggestions made here in equal light. Dr. Know...

    The Official Albums for 2008!

    cm, I appreciate your comments. Thank You. If I may though, I view my explanations as 'reasons' as opposed to 'excuses'. It may very well be just semantics, or the fact that it is me stating the reasons (or making the excuses). But that is my belief. I assume that you read my post concerning...
