Transformers (2007) Soundtrack - Tests & Failed Attempts #1

These are the first wave of failed tests/trials of my edited movie versions of tracks from the Transformers movies.

 These are 4 tracks from the soundtrack of the first movie "Transformers (2007)"

The Cube / Autobots (Movie Version)

 

The movie version of this track is quite shortened, the first difference being the chorus starting earlier. Then after 5 seconds, the track cuts to 0:12.
 I couldn't really do anything about the chorus in the beginning, it's currently the only part I'm missing.
 The drums of the 1:24 to 2:04 part of the original track are shifted to be used at 0:50 (in this version), then the track cuts to the 2:05 part (original track).
 This section I was able to faithfully replicate.

Young Subject Matter / Deciphering The Signal (Movie Version)


The Movie Version of this track starts with the first 15 seconds of the alternate version of the track of same name.
 So it cuts to the regular album version (starting at 0:17), still using the original/album version, it cuts to 1:01 and then right after that to 1:12, after 6 seconds, it cuts to 1:20.
 (Smooth transitions are extremely necessary)

 Now the hard part, at 1:05 to 1:14, use the part at 0:49 of the original track, but remove the trumpets (something I couldn't do), make it last for 6 seconds and then make it fade away.
 Shift the drums to 1:07 and 1:10. Then at 1:11, cut to the part at 2:50 (original track).

 At 1:29, a reprise of "The Cube / Autobots" begins, after 4 seconds, it cuts to 0:06, note that in the movie, the choir in the first few seconds are removed (something I couldn't do).
 That last track then ends with a custom fade-out.

Frenzy (Movie Version)


The Movie version of this track is heavily shortened, it starts from 0:23, after 6 seconds it cuts to 0:34, after 4 seconds it cuts to 0:40, after 5 seconds it cuts to 0:57, after 20 seconds, it's cut to 1:31, and after 4 seconds, it's cut to 1:42.
 In the movie, the trumpets are completely removed, this is something I couldn't replicate.

Cybertron (Movie Version)


At 0:56, a single drum note is added.
 At 1:36 to 1:42, the vocals from the Decepticon theme are inserted, unfortunately, the ones I was able to add do not say the same words spoken in the film, this is the part that I could not accurately replicate.
 The part between the Decepticon vocals and before the bell at 1:44 is extended.
