iRiff Offering (QuipTracks) - The Covenant

[Rowsdower]

Hey all!

This is the first time I've tried reauthoring something. I used the basic steps and parameters recommended by bsg4you, but I was using Adobe Audition whereas he typically uses Audacity, so I'm not sure it turned out as well as his fine products.

Still, it seems like the movie is well ducked (movie is supposed to duck 20dB... is it ducking, or did Audition just turn down the audio of the whole movie?!).

I used a yify download of the movie which is why it doesn't look very good for a 720p copy. There aren't a lot of "good" copies of this move floating around. Because it's terrible and forgettable, so why would there be?

I did some compressing/amplification of the QuipTracks, let me know if you think it sounds... not good.

I'm also looking for some of the raw QuipTracks riffs to keep working on my skills (especially their Incredible Hulk, as the reauthored one I have has inaudible riffing during the movie's loud scenes). I'd be happy to share the results. I'd love to buy them all, but at $4 a pop that would start to add up.

Anyway, here you go!

...(later that day - ) I found my first attempt to be a little loud (the riffers, not the movie), especially with headphones on. Maybe you want to try this one instead?

Also, this file has the non-riffed audio track as well. I can't imagine you ever needing that, but it's there.

Thanks are appreciated! Head over here and pile them on if you'd like!

I'll be the first to show my appreciation, as it turns out I didn't have this one either.  Thank you.   Do you have anything else you might be missing, maybe I can help.

IRiffs? The more the merrier! Actually, I have an issue with non-riffed movies, I tend to riff them on my mind, in a vain attempt not to get mad watching it, old habits, you know..

Thank you, Rowsdower!! And congratulations on your first reauthoring. The first synk I did was way back with Titanic, and it was just awful!! I'm always very happy, and a little embarrassed when I routinely see other peoples first attempts vastly outshine even what I can do now. I have absolute faith that your work will be as awesome and proud as your namesakes noble mullet.

Thanks Ytse! Yes, first attempt wasn't bad... but number 5 is the best one. Yes. I've done five of these today. We all of us live in bsg4you's shadow... but that's okay. It's actually nice and warm there.

I'll be putting the best one up tomorrow if anybody wants to wait and download that one. (the first one was a little high-volume, riff wise). We don't have to talk about attempts 2-4.

As stated:
In case you found the riff a bit too loud in the first one...

Thanks Rowsdower. The few syncs i've done were very rewarding, hope you feel the same about this. Glad I found out about it at revision 5

Fan of QuipTracks, very grateful for this.

That's awesome JB - thank you! I'm pretty happy with the sync I made out of this. It's tricky. There's a lot of whispering in Hulk, and also a lot of cranked up red-line volume. 

Look for the link in a new post tomorrow. Thanks again!

I had forgotten about this movie, but as soon as the ***** jumped off that cliff all the mediocrity this movie offered came flooding back to me. For a moment I considered turning it off, because I remember hating this movie so much, but I'm glad I didn't, this riff is absolutely hilarious, one of the best I've heard in a while. Thanks Rowsdower, the synch job was wonderful, way better than anything I've ever been able to put together. Hope to see more iRiffs from you in the future.

AWESOME. I am a voracious collector, and these were a couple of Quiptracks I was missing. Since first joining the KAT board, my favorites have been ICWXP, Quiptracks, and Hor-rif-fic. With these two entries, that means I am only missing Paycheck and the Forgotten. Then there are some of the Voyager episodes I dont have. Glad to see things humming back to life!

It's cool that you took the time to do this. Their recent tracks have been much better about being loud when they need to be and quiet when they don't, but yeah, a lot of the older ones are pretty rough in that regard.

One question, because I am new here: What was the reason you went with Mega rather than making it a torrent? Just curious about advantages / disadvantages
