Since The Dark Knight Rises Blu-ray just leaked online yesterday, I downloaded the 1080p leak which includes a 5.1 DTS track.

This is a downmix of the front left, front right, center and LFE tracks into one stereo WAV file of the complete end titles.

I ran a high-pass filter on it to give it a little more clarity, because just like The Dark Knight's score and film mix, the quality is a little flat. Anyone who has the sessions from The Dark Knight knows what I mean.

I didn't downmix the rear channels into this because rears are typically used for reverb and would not sound very clear when completely downmixed to stereo.

I can upload it as a 5.1 DTS WAV though if anyone is interested.

Once the actual Blu-ray disc is in my hands (December 4th is the release date) I can do this again using the DTS HD lossless track itself.

Enjoy.

EDIT: This is from the Blu-ray, 135MB 24-bit stereo WAV file.

Finally! Thanks so much!!

Sweet, thanks!

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks!

Thanks a lot good sir :D Could you do the same with the Batman Begins and The Dark Knight end credits too? Pretty please?

There's not much need for all the uploads from those films out there, but sure. Give me a bit of time to dig out the files. Just moved a few days ago. This was easy since it was just a matter of downloading the movie.

The end titles make me sad. The epic end of my favourite movie trilogy!

Interesting, but the high pass filter lost the range of your track. Antovolk's mp3 version remains "superior" from that point of view. I would have suggested some equalization, but of course it doesn't go without a good clue of what you might be searching for. There's a strong similarity between the sound of this mix and the album mix however though they are clearly different than the complete boot, wich is a huge lack of basses (at last ! Some Zimmer music that lacks basses !!! lol).

I did not do anything to the "range" of this track at all. I lowered the gain to prevent the entire track from suffering distortion and clipping, which is what would happen when mixing it down to stereo. That had nothing to do with the range at all. In fact if I had not even mentioned that I made the music clearer, no comment would've been made. One has nothing to do with the other.

No need to be on the defensive JHF. If you haven't mentionned that you used a high pass filter I still would have felt it, maybe with - or without - being able to put a name on it. You didn't touch the range but something did... My take is the filter. Another one being a different way to downmix the track next to antovolk's, but less sure that's the problem.

edit: oh, and antovolk's version doesn't misses bass - my mistake. It even has too much *imho*.
...

... "No comment would have been made"...

If you want it that way, so be it. ;)

Kuddos.

All I'm saying is your take is simply incorrect.

I use that filter all the time and the way I use it has no effect on the dynamic range of a piece of music. You don't even know what program I used, or how I did it, or to what degree, so you're simply basing far too much on my making something slightly clearer. Clearer doesn't mean quieter or louder.

I think you mistake on my comment. I'm just comparing two tracks, I'm not building hypothesis on your processes.

So if you allow me to put my opinion that way, wich is only my opinion, the other guy's version sounds to me much more like it should: notably more envelopping (wich has nothing to do with the loudness). And the clarity, antovolk's version doesn't miss it at all. As for the effect on dynamic range, only your ears can tell. There's nothing out there to calculate this properly as far as I know.

... Who said that ?

You're a nice guy, you shared neat work already, I know that. Now if you see as a problem that I share my feelings on something you just share for the pleasure, I'll understand. So, maybe I should just present my apologies and thank you. Please consider the discussion closed.

As they say on Spartacus......"Gratitude"

thank

Found it, I have. Thanks. Blu-ray was released yesterday (at least here in the USA), have you ripped it yet?

Have you updated with the lossless track from the BD yet?

I have a remux of the movie with DTS-HD MA.
Haven't gotten around to breaking it down for the end credits though.

Not yet but I can rip it now.

I got the "Bat Cowl" limited edition yesterday.

:fabulous: I think I'm going to get just the regular tin case if I can around the christmas sales.
I have St. Nic's family held hostage for good measure ;)

AnyDVD, my usual go-to for allowing me to extract stuff from Blu-rays and DVDs, isn't working with this disc because it's so new, so I'm trying other methods.

I'll post as soon as I have something tonight.

The only reason I got that Bat Cowl edition was because I figure if I'm going to (as all of us who love the trilogy will likely do as well) get that "Ultimate" trilogy set when it comes out next fall, why get a regular case version of it now just to get it again in that set, when I can get a unique collectible version instead so it's not quite the same thing.

EDIT:

DTS-HD ripped and ready for me to convert to WAV.

EDIT 2:

Editing the WAV now. I'm downmixing the same channels (left, right, center, LFE) into a stereo track. I have to lower the gain (as before) so it doesn't suffer horrible clipping since the file as is would sound like shit...in other words would sound like the regular album. Overblown bass and excessive clipping nonsense. Not if I can help it dammit.

EDIT 3:

First post revised with new link.

end credits in 5.1 lossless - i'm in :D

that would be awesome.

I wouldn't have any need for that since I don't need to make duplicates of movies, I just take segments from the audio tracks like in this case, the end credits.

A DTS WAV isn't 100% lossless but would be indistinguishable from a lossless track anyway, plus it would be the same size as a stereo WAV file.

What software you used?.. the quality is perfect :)

Yes men, i'm interested in the 5.1 version. Thanks.

I also request 5.1 mix of this song.
Also, if it's not too much trouble, can you do downmixes for Batman Begins and The Dark Knight End Credits, please? You did a really good job on this one, JHFan.

Thanks JHFan !!!

A great suite for a great End !!!

Love it!

Honestly it would be a waste of time to do that, because the end credit pieces as presented on the complete / recording sessions are pretty much the exact same thing. Same quality, mixing, everything.

The only difference here is because the credits for TDKR wasn't leaked as part of those sessions, they had to be extracted from a source instead.

Do you have any blu ray rips of the amazing spider man score? if so i'm just curious will you be mixing it with the complete score for an ultimate soundtrack or will you be doing something else with it? thanks for your time :)

There's nothing from the film itself to rip unless you like sound effect-ridden edited stuff, since the complete score for Amazing Spider-Man was indeed the complete score (save for this supposed "High School Hijinks" cue that never made it in the film either). Even the end credits - those are also edited cues from the score. There's just nothing to add to it. Can't make it an ultimate since it's already that!

I'm curious what you use, JHFan.
For segments rather than whole rips.

My current work process is to remux the movie to MKV format and extract the lossless audio using eac3to (with ArcSoft 1.1.0.0) and then store that audio into an .mka file with --split timed where I need it to be cut.

The only thing is, this is a long process that involves working with the whole video.
MKVtoolnix doesn't allow cutting for just one part of the movie.
It works so that you can split and have the part you need, plus the rest of the movie in separate parts you can delete afterward.

I use eac3to because it provides bit-for-bit extraction, especially for 7.1 audio (using the right version of ArcSoft).

For anyone interested in this: I made a lossless 5.1 version of The Dark Knight trilogy suites in 48 kHz and 16/24 bit from the Blu-Rays. You can find it here: http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/dark-knight-trilogy-end-title-suites-5-a-124084/#post2251647

thank you man that is awesome.Great trilogy, great music..King Zimmer

Nice Work Thanks ;)

Use DVDfab QT to rip an audio copy directly rather than rip the movie and then extract it from that second source. It'll save you a lot of time and that part of the software carries on working long after the trial has expired!

Closing this.
