Look Before You Leap
Remember how I said there was a problem with the soundtrack for the original cut of ReDeath? I must have made it up. After hearing Misato’s dialogue in the OC just fine on my comp, I checked the DVD to see if the issue was really there. Lo, her lines are all present with all the fidelity of the audio cassette tape that they were recorded on. I can imagine why I really thought there was a problem. Much of her dialogue only comes out of one speaker (I opted not to fix this for the DVD in order to truly preserve the orignal cut of ReDeath), so when I couldn’t hear her lines, it must’ve been because whatever room I was in at the time wasn’t rigged for stereo. Can’t complain, less work for me is always a good thing.
So after I test the DVD encode of Nesca 1.7, my next project is to recap the deleted scenes for Fanboy Bebop. The audio is way overblown. Then I will consider the subtitle options for all three. Doing ReDeath was such a tedious chore, I’m not looking forward to doing subs for the longer FBBB and the even longer Nesca. I’d ditch subs altogether had I not seen how well they worked at Fanime last year. Reminds me, “songs only” for ReDux…
