Member shukocarl Posted August 30, 2010 Member Share Posted August 30, 2010 This one has bugged me for years....when the 'stolen' music was being put down on to the audio of Hong Kong films....how did they do it? Did the dubbers just reach for a soundtrack album off the shelf (remember this was pre-digital) and put it into the mix or did they have access to taped copies of the original? Does anyone know?

Member shapes Posted August 30, 2010 Member Share Posted August 30, 2010 they used to record the vinyl on to 1/4 reel to reel tape and work from that, no rights asked for, none given Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you ask? I just wondered how it was done....they must have had some kind of filtering system as you normally can't hear scratches, jumps and glitches.....

Member bratty Posted August 31, 2010 Member Share Posted August 31, 2010 Well, the records were newer back then and people knew more about proper setting of the tone arm , good solid state amplification etc. I'm sure the music came off of vinyl and was put onto tape for editing - makes total sense.
