I think the track 'Mated For Life' is absolutely incredible, so emotional. It's my favourite

I agree... But it makes me so lonely

I find it absurd that they don't sell this in stores.

I would gladly pay $200-$300 for it. If they did that they would make a lot of money from all the hardcore Avatar fans.

... Wow. I was thinking of doing this, but you beat me to it! I'm afraid I'm an Apple user (I'm listening to the soundtrack on my iPhone right now

), but I'd love to hear your professionalized soundtrack in any bitrate!

Echoing the sentiments of everyone else in this thread: an official version of the Complete Soundtrack (cleaned up, preferably) would be awesome. Looks like they'd make a few hundred dollars just from the few people who have posted in this thread -- and we can't be the only ones!

A petition should be started somewhere...

The "Transformers" score was a huge hit when it hit the markets, and it was only released because of a petition of about 5000 signatures at PetitionOnline (from where I heard). It sold thousands of copies, but was promptly discontinued almost as soon as it was released (only about a year out for sale). Now on Amazon, last I saw it was $72 for the lowest priced one.

Really, petitions can make a difference... I might start one. But first, I've gotta finish my version at least (I've come too far already with it).

Yes! I was not aware of the Transformers soundtrack being available and when I found out that it was discontinued as fast as it was released, I was not happy.

We need a petition to get the Complete Soundtrack for Avatar released. I'm sure we will have no problem in getting many signatures.

It's worth a shot!

What software are you using to make your version?

IkranTswonya · #37 03-31-2010, 03:53 AM

I would gladly have paid for this. In fact, if they put it out with some nice collectors' material, I still probably will. Heck, I'll buy just about anything that says "Avatar" on it.

Woodsprite: do want!

Avatar the lunch box! Avatar the breakfast cereal! Avatar the coloring book! Avatar...the FLAME THROWER!

Just Windows Movie Maker. Primitive, I know, but every other sound-editing software program I've used does the same thing whether it's automatically saved as a WMA or MP3 or any other type of file: the bit rate is always decreased on the edited version.

But I'm serious, the difference between 320kbps and 160kbps is not distiguishable to the naked ear; only if you slow it down and/or capture each soundbite snip individually will you tell it's reduced. It's like watching a DVD you shrunk in size on DVD Shrink (DVD copy program). It allows you to copy the DVD onto a standard 4.7GB DVD disc by decreasing the amount of pixel information sent, thus making it fit onto the disc. You could never tell the difference between it and the original unless you played in on a movie theater screen, where it'll noticably be pixelated. Even on HD screens up to 52 in. (I have) you don't notice the difference.

The same is the case with an MP3 file and a copied WMA file concerning sound properties.

I'm not really worried about the sound properties unless the audio loss is really bad if I convert it to something iTunes can understand. I'll just be happy to hear it, even if I have to use VLC

By the way, I've used DVD Shrink, but I don't have a 52" HD screen -- I didn't know its quality was still good on such large screens! Still, I think I'll be keeping the full 10GB Avatar DVD on my computer...

Anyway, kudos for forging on ahead with Windows Movie Maker. That's certainly impressive

Excellent news: I've discovered a way to reduce the amount of bitrate loss from 360kbps to 256kbps, rather than 160. Expect fabulous quality!

tallbluewanderer · #42 03-31-2010, 06:21 AM

Yay!

SpriteTunes Plus!

**Woodsprite** · #44 03-31-2010, 07:04 AM

So sorry for the inconvenience, just discovered a way to only reduce the quality from 360kbps to 320.

Still found no way to keep it at 360, but 320's not bad compared to 160.

**Sovereign** · #45 03-31-2010, 07:07 AM

Wait, I thought the source files were 320...
