Hi folks, I thought I'd chime in too.
It's really debatable judging from the micro cassette recording that surfaced around here about 3 years ago what exactly is going on in the audio. The descending synth tones and especially the wormhole 'sequence' are the most obvious as they are the loudest in the recording. What follows is what we believe is actually the symphonic version everyone is familiar with at a higher pitch, then a de-tuned Deep Note. The end is quiet in the micro cassette recording, so we cannot really tell. Marcus suggested it was wind sound effects from the Skywalker Sound library, I suggested it was the higher-pitched symphonic version ending.
I'm not that happy about v2.1 re watching it because the Deep Note climaxes too early. As well as a pop in the audio after the 'wormhole.' This is because I can no longer find the original audio for the wormhole I collected, but someone made a backup of it on Soundcloud, so I used that, and extended it with the micro cassette audio containing the second descending synth.
I have never seen this particular version of Cimarron in a theater, or an official DVD or video from THX or even Lucasfilm. Just a snippet of it from a Star Wars doc made for TV in time for the special editions.
Any suggestions from Film-Tech veterans who ran or saw this mix is highly welcomed. This restoration project birthed here anyway.
