Old-School Sound Effects in Trek XI?
- Thread starter Roger Wilco
- Start date
We know at least one TOS sound effect survives: the Red Alert klaxon. The one in the preview sounded identical to the one from TOS.
The communicator chirp thing better be there, also, the doors too.
What about the high pitched screeching main ship phaser sound?
If they don't use the TOS fight music, than it will be about two seconds after the movie is released, that a matching scene will show up on youtube with the old soundtrack edited in.

I want to hear the boatswain's whistle when the ship's intercom is used.
...and those lyrics will be:
"da da, da da, da da da DAH da -- bum bum, bum bum, bum bum -- da da da da DAH da"

J.J. will use the fight music, but he will add lyrics to that music so he doesn't have to pay the original composer (Gerald Fried?)...If they change the music, HE WON'T GET MY MONEY!11

Speaking for those of us who don't read music, I've always had trouble imagining what those da da's and dum dum's actually say when people use them to describe some passage. Is this the Amok Time fight music, or the shark music from Doomsday Machine?
It could be the Star Spangled Banner for all I know.

^^ absolutely true, but I had the right music (the fight music) playing in my head when I wrote that, so it must be right.

It would be cool, but not a deal breaker if they didn't.
I'd like sort of Ben Burt's updated take on original sounds. So familiar yet different.
And the Kirk Spock fight music would be awesome, but again, not a deal breaker.
The problem is, it runs the risk of becoming parody and that's not good.

Guess you told me.
I think any and all re-use of the sound effects would be awesome and I want to thank everyone for some rational posting in this, possibly the most contentious of TrekBBS forums (including TNZ).
I couldn't possibly care less about the sound effects being 'old school' and I don't worry about whether sound effects are 'canon'.
I think the sound effect should fit with what's on the screen - regardless of 'canon'.

Yeah, if I recall correctly, they had the transporter materialization sound effect at the very end of the first teaser, which I thought was nice.
I'd agree with this. While it was cool to hear the 'Red Alert' klaxon in the new trailer, I don't think a wholesale bringover of the TOS sound-effects library is the way to go. The right sound effect to use in any situation is the one which works best; ultimately, that's the only rule which matters.
They should use as many of the SFX as reasonable. They can always be given more depth or made changed to fit better. A lot of them are just great. Didn't the sickbay have some too? Like the the device that monitors the patient's vitals has that deeper tone for the heartbeat I guess. But yeah, communicator, transporter, and the bridge pinging I hope are all in there.
