Dadrian Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 The issue (per Jan Hammer's manager) is that those cues belong to Universal, not the respective composers/performers. I guess maybe it's hard to get Universal to play ball for such a relatively small market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted September 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Tim Truman was meeting a guy from Universal for that reason and signaled that they will support but after a while nothing happened. No clue what is the issue with Universal as no mixing or record company is needed to prepare the stuff for release, i.e. Zero cost of publishing. Truman told me that he had stored all cues on DAT (digital audio tape) in 1989 and it would be only a matter of hours to upload that stuff for release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I think maybe Jan started storing everything on DAT in season 3. Notice how so many season 3 and 4 cues (original and redone from 1 and 2) turned up on the second disc of the CC? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of stuff from season 3, but there's still almost nothing from season 4 been released. The only cue we've had is Hammer's wedding piece. Granted most of the stuff from that season was actually Petersen's work, and his music has even less chance of seeing a release than Tim's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He circumvented the issue by re-recording all scores for the CD. Obviously that is a labor of love given the effort needed (and reason why he will not release more). Thus it was irrelevant for the track list choice where he stored the cues originally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BunMVO Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 So...any word on this? I’ve been rewatching Season 5 and some of his music is pretty good. He’s no Jan Hammer to be sure, but some is not bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leigh Burne Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 God damn it, every time I see a notification for this thread I get excited that something's been announced But yeah, I've always liked Truman's music. I especially appreciate how he didn't just try to copy Hammer but instead went in his own direction. It was all the better for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at how long ago this thread was started, and how long Vice has been off the air... it seems like a pretty lost cause. Just thought I would ask. Man, I'd be happy as hell if all the Truman scores were available. At least we have Jan Hammer, who in my opinion was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ferrariman Posted October 16, 2018 Administrators Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 It's been so long I think Tim Truman forgot all about it. I personally e-mailed back and forth with him a few years ago and sorry to say it was always promises promises but nothing ever happened. I would've rather he told us flat out that it wasn't gonna happen instead of keeping us hanging on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdiegolo78 Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 All Tim Truman musical cues can be found on you tube but quality isn't that great. You can even hear voice dialogue in the background. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even hear voice dialogue in the background. 14 of them were once released by Tim himself on myspace, without any dialogue and in CD quality. Two songs were among them, No way out and Help me through the night. The third song, Everything´s inside of me can´t be released, because Universal lost the original master tape Tim gave them after they placed the track in the episode. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man please share the “CD” quality with me! What I have is like 1990s “streaming” quality. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds good enough though. PM me. You´re right. As far as I see it: Tim has it on DAT. He uploaded it on myspace in 2007 most likely in normal MP3 quality (128 kbps back then was defined as "CD quality", today it would rather be 192). So, yes, it´s CD quality and not really at the same time, but I guarantee you that no normal ear will hear the difference between 128 and whatever, as Tims DAT originals were first rate.

Dadrian Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 What I have sounds more like 64kbps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewRemington Posted March 31, 2021 Report Share Posted March 31, 2021 Even as a musician who has made many recordings, I struggle telling difference in kbps, haha. I mainly tell difference in EQ. I can also tell the difference between a muddy old recording and a crisp digital recording. Most of my recordings on YouTube are 128kbps, but in M4A/MP4 format. Worried they sound like shite now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worried they sound like shite now. You're right @AndrewRemington Audio on YouTube is compressed (to around 126 kbps AAC), which in itself isn't such a bad thing but the quality beetween uncompressed audio track in WAV (or in lossless format (FLAC) and compressed YouTube audio is noticable. For home condition you should use higher bitrate (256 or 320) if you want CD Quality mp3s. Edited March 31, 2021 by Crockettt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use some secret techniques to make them sound analog, like from a cassette tape or reel-to-reel.

Marcos Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 I was looking for Tim Truman because for many years I'm trying to get his guitar riff from Melrose Place and it has never been released. They made a stupid Melrose Place CD containing only the opening theme and some others uninterested songs. I really don't understand why it's so difficult to get an album with his soundtracks. I'm a fan of Millennium show which is also from 90ths and they released an album with Mark Snow songs without any problems and stress. It's so annoying because there is a market demand for something that they have available but for some mysterious reasons they can't release it. I hope I can have access to it while I'm still alive. They're losing an opportunity to make money with a generation that won't be here for long. 20 years waiting for something so simple like that. It's ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted June 4, 2021 Report Share Posted June 4, 2021 @Marcos welcome to the site! Did Tim even play guitar, or did he use Michael Thompson on the MP song like he did for the season 5 MV score? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
