This has certainly become a fascinating topic! It is always a pleasure to have the folks that actually work on the music we enjoy in the parks and on CD here to join in our discussions.
Those are some great loops you worked on- the HISTK Movie Set loop is a particular favorite, and I found myself standing around that playset for an hour this summer just to determine the order the tracks played in. Luckily no one thought I was a pedophile. At least Disney actually provided some useful information on that one. I am curious as to one thing however- according to my recording the loop is only about 44 minutes long even though all the tracks together total about 52 minutes. Since there are certainly loops that play longer than 52 minutes, why shorten it?
The point you bring up as to playing speed is a good one- I often find that given whatever combination of playing speed and recording speed that the original tracks do not line up with my recording without slight tempo alterations. I know it will frustrate Jay that I go to such lengths to exactly match the playing of the loops.
It is indeed frustrating that Disney isn't able to provide loop information most of the time, seeing as this information obviously exists. WDW has at least had some information available- at Disneyland they not only have no information to offer but actually pointed me to the fan-created (and often incomplete, not to mention it hasn't been updated since 2007) musicloops site ironically suggesting that it is indeed the job of the fans to figure it out. Hopefully they don't start pointing people to Brigante's site. Hey, Jay- maybe once we finally get the loop listing section up we can get them to point to us!
