Chapter 31 Remaster

[Osiris]

1:54 What sounds like birds chirping. I'm not sure if this is intentional, or if it's something from an ambient track. It's a song-like chirping. It returns sporadically, notable again at:

2:09
2:35
2:49

The frequency and timing of the noise sounds as if it was looped with an ambient track. It seems to have a familiar pattern, with no variation in pitch or structure. At least none that I can determine. I could be wrong, could be an artifact created in the conversion to .mp3. It's feint, but a second (third or fourth even) set of ears on this would be appreciated. It wouldn't mean much if the scene wasn't taking place inside.

AH! You looped the ambient track from the ultrasound scene. It's the chair squeaking isn't it? It's got to be! it's the same pattern, I'm almost positive. Not 100% positive, but the pattern sounds too similar.

16:05 Bricks' dialogue "Yeah . . . yeah, OK." seems to warble, as if he's stepping from one dimension to another. Really it just sounds like a crinkled cassette tape. You're old enough to remember those aren't you, Kc? We old now.

18:41 There is a zipper sound that is so quiet that it sounds like static. Maybe bumping it up a little in the mix to make it a little more obvious? It sounds like a feint crackle unless you've got the volume turned way up.

23:02 Feint pop accompanying a footstep.

23:02 Onward sounds as though everyone is walking on carpet, yet
28:12 sounds very much like footsteps on hardwood. It COULD be Victor rapping his knuckles on a table, but I'm not sure. It's really a matter of how you'd directed Foley to act. But in the context of the scene it sounds as if CJ is walking up to each character, getting in their face, and asking the hard questions about what happened. It fits, but I'm not sure.

27:48 sounds as though it is part of a different take. The vocal quality sounds as though it has a little less presence. Perhaps Constance was a little further away from the mic for it.

28:57 feint sound of a dog's bark. High pitched, short. Right on Saul's line "about everything."

29:00 slight pop on CJ's "sometimes." Could be air in the nostrils, it's a little glip.

29:54 faint pop between lines. Could be clicking in Saul's nasal passage as he's swallowing, or holding air before his next line. Hard to say.

30:49 there is a strange vocalization on the left channel. It's barely audible, but it's out of place, considering they are alone where they are. It isn't a biter vocalization, it's more like a man shouting a quick "whoa whoa" behind a door several yards away.

31:12/13 another out of place vocalization. It sounds like it might be a dog in the far, far distance and very muffled. It could be bleed from a mic during recording.

Nevermind. It appears to be a dog barking, it's clearer about 15 seconds later in the scene.

Strangest ambient is at 32:00. It sounds almost like a Doppler effect from passing cars. Very strange. It's sort of a flanged/phasing sound. Very subtle. It isn't wind, and it isn't breathing. It's just a very familiar ambient.

42:30-42:33 -- CJ corrects Saul on ghost dialogue. He says "some anscestral sword you got trained on" she says "katanas are Japanese, I'm Chinese you ass." Could have been an oversight in the script, could be a small snip of missing dialogue.

Edit* I get what she's saying, ignore that.

45:09 – 46:40 footsteps sound a bit flat, with a crackling fire on tv feel. Almost sounds like the speakers are clipping from a frequency that is too low to handle.

46:38-47:00 – soccer ball sound does not match vocal presence in the room. Starts out barely audible.
