If Ron (Crapfromthepast) or Mark M. has any interest at
tackling this one, they can share edit points. ]]> Mon, 03 Oct 2016 14:30:24 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=46339&title=dire-straits-skateaway#46339 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=46338&title=dire-straits-skateaway#46338 Author: eriejwg

Took another stab at it. I didn't write down edit
points, but thanks to Jim for sending a 45 dub. Also,
thanks to Bo for the YouTube link. You definitely need
a source file.

With the 45, I think besides being slightly faster (.5
faster), the intro fades in later than the album. Mark
Knopfler's opening vocal is at :25 in if that helps.

Run time is 4:44.

This YouTube clip should suffice as a source file.

P.S. Feel free you share your recreation with me :-)]]> Mon, 03 Oct 2016 00:29:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=46336&title=dire-straits-skateaway#46336 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=46334&title=dire-straits-skateaway#46334 Author: eriejwg

I attempted the edit, yet sometimes without a source
file it's tricky. ]]> Sun, 02 Oct 2016 16:19:44 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=46334&title=dire-straits-skateaway#46334 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=46330&title=dire-straits-skateaway#46330 Author: Back2TheFuture

Ok, I have this "single version" on a very rare UK 2-CD promo set from 1994 called "Direly Straits" which included most (if not all) of Dire Straits' hit singles on it.

Dissecting the edited "single version" cut on the disc, the "single version" can be extracted from the album version. Here's what I concluded to making the edit of "Skateaway."

Using the "Making Movies" album version, Keep 0:02.4 to 4:30.5 (the edit is before the echoey drum beat), remove 16 counts (from 4:30.5 to 4:38.2).

Next, keep 4:38.2 to 5:02.0. (This section should begin with an "echoey drum beat").

Remove everything else after 5:02 onward.

With what you have left, you should have a total file run-time of 4:48 or so.

Next, put a sinusoidal fade from 4:30.1 to 4:48.0. Then put a slight fade in from the beginning the file (0:00 to 0:09.4).

Hopefully all of this makes sense!

One thing I'm not to certain about is the speed. The 45 version sounds more sped up than the album version. Hopefully someone can help fill in this missing piece of the puzzle!

Ooh I'd be interested in that myself. I like collecting 45 versions of AOR/classic rock hits. ]]> Fri, 30 Sep 2016 15:43:35 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=46322&title=dire-straits-skateaway#46322 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=46321&title=dire-straits-skateaway#46321 Author: eriejwg

Not a Top 40 hit, but does anyone know how to create the
4:45 (Edit) from the LP version?]]> Fri, 30 Sep 2016 13:38:32 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8628&PID=46321&title=dire-straits-skateaway#46321
