Star Trek TOS sound effects

[treknician1701]

Oh, yes, I forgot about the MOVIE sound effects that I also got from a studio source. NOBODY had those until I passed them around. Thanks for reminding me, Maurice G.

Nice, Bill, real nice. Every time that I say ANYTHING, I can always trust you to show up, and throw water on the flame, or salt in the wound. In this case, it is NOT unsubstantiated. I have the written proof, and the eyewitnesses. So, if you are not going to add anything positive, find someone else to stalk online.

 

[BillJ]

It is unsubstantiated from my point-of-view. I'd love to trust you, but you have a severe credibility problem.

 

[sojourner]

Oh, he's gone back to using bold text everyone. Stand back.

 

[CorporalCaptain]

treknician1701, since you mentioned that you have proof of your claims, why not share that proof with us? What's the point of the thread, if you're not going to share the proof?

 

[treknician1701]

So, you want me to get the witnesses up here so you guys can cross-examine them? You want to rip the documents apart? It is not I that has a credibility problem. It is the rumor mill and innuendo of others that tries to undermine EVERY little comment I make here.

And the only reason that this thread was started was to clear the air regarding statements made by others. Nobody has ever claimed to have provided Crescendo records with these sound effects, except me. The other statements claimed that they had permission from the studio to go in and copy these sounds, which was impossible, because in 1985 NOBODY knew where the original reels were!

AND, the sound effects on the LALALAND set were only from the first pilot, nothing more.

Well, on this particular situation, I HAVE PROOF!

I have the proof, and many witnesses to this story. Any other storyline is completely bogus!

That is my story. I have the proof.

I would submit that, given your reputation it would be only natural for those of us aware of your past indiscretions and shenanigans to not take your claims at face value.

It is not I that has a credibility problem. It is the rumor mill and innuendo of others that tries to undermine EVERY little comment I make here.

Separate issue. You've stated repeatedly in this thread that you "have proof!"

I've saved you the the trouble of scanning for those instances by quoting them here (you're welcome!)

Perhaps you'll be good enough to share that proof with us?

I wrote all 79 episodes of Star Trek! I have witnesses and the scripts themselves! I just allowed different names to be used because I'm shy and had tax problems.

Anyone can make any claim they want on the internet. Don't be surprised when people don't take your proclamations at face value. Is there a CD release somewhere that actually has your name on it? Are you credited anywhere in any way related to any release?

 

[BillJ]

...I will try this subject again, just modified greatly from the last attempt.

Where is this other thread at? I'm really slacking in my stalking!

The sound effects on Star Trek - The Original Series Soundtrack Collection are from the first two pilots along with some effects from "The Naked Time". These were all performed musically, which is why they were on the first generation tapes we had access to. The chit-chat on some of them is included so that you can hear things like the "birth" of the transporter sound effect (it was a "planet atmosphere" effect designed for "The Cage"). The bass "twangs" that became the "pulse" for patients in sickbay were recorded for "Where No Man Has Gone Before". So while our set obviously focussed on the music of the series, where applicable, we included some effects beyond the first pilot.

I have no first-hand knowledge of the subject, so help me out a little. What is implausible about the OP's story? And what would he have to gain by making it up?

If it's important, maybe somebody should send emails to Neil Norman and Mark Banning (from the credits of the GNP CD). Both are still in the soundtrack business.

 

[Joe_Atari]

Waiting for the train wrec--ooops, too late...

I'm confused; is this thread about the TOS sound effects themselves, or the OP's role in "liberating" them? Is he seeking some sort of belated credit, recognition, or something? Speaking for myself, if it's the former great; if it's the latter, who cares?

 

[Push The Button]

I'm confused, what is happening?

 

[HIjol]

I agree with Zap...I am confused and wonder if more information about trustworthiness and truth is available, and/or important to us...if not, I also agree with Push in wondering what in the heck is going on...

...but I really, truly did shoot J.R....

Treknician has something of a track record for making unsubstantiated, outrageous claims without being able to provide any kind of proof to validate said outrageous claims. It would appear we are going down the rabbit hole again.

Oh yes, he did this, too.

What else? Oh yes, he uses other people's work and then refuses to acknowledge them or credit them for their work, even after being caught in red-handed. Sound familiar?

Lastly, as has been demonstrated in this thread via informed posts from other posters, Treknician clearly doesn't know what he's talking about.

I can only speak for myself of course. I'm certainly willing to entertain the notion that for once he might be telling the truth, but I sure as hell would need to see some proof, given his prior dealings with this message board and its denizens.

 

[Kelso]

He's THAT guy!?!

 

[doubleohfive]

The very same. From that same thread, in his own words.

Thanks, that fills in a lot of blanks regarding the harsh reaction.

I also agree it's still possible that he's telling the truth about the sound fx tapes. It's actually kind of consistent with the young guy who broke into the TNG studio sets: he was someone in the L.A. area who injected himself into the production world of Star Trek without regard to having legal rights in the matter.

Maybe there's a slight analogy to what happened with the Lincoln Enterprises 35mm work-print film frames: someone overstepping their legal rights ends up doing fandom a service in the long run by getting material out to us that would otherwise have gone the way of that big crate at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Such an analogy might apply regardless of whether or not Greg Stone is the guy who "rescued" the fx tapes. [The TOS sound fx and music CDs released by GNP and La La Land were all fully licensed, but the master tapes they were based on apparently got out first and were legalized second.]

All I gotta say is, Marc Cushman better stay outta here....

I can confirm this. I am a tax problem.
