Hey everyone, just joined! Really excited to dive into video restoration and learn from you all.

Hey everyone, just found this site on Google for some Cinema DTS audios and audio sync projects.

Nevermind

Original post talking about the phantom menace theatircal mix:
It can either be from the NTSC VHS, Japanese laserdisc, or a 35mm print. It can also be unsynced.

Since I did a bunch of syncs for Alien, I wanted to do some syncs for the sequel Aliens. So far I have synced the THX PCM and 35mm Optical tracks to the Blu-Ray but If I'm honest I'm not too happy with either tracks. The THX track sounds ok but it is way too loud (so much so I turned it down by 3db since it was very close to clipping) and the Optical sounds fine but the pops and missing sections at the start of reels had to be patched with the BD 4.1 pro-logic downmixed and that wasn't perfect either.

I have access to two Aliens LD caps, one being the THX and the other of the initial CBS FOX LD. Just like the CBS FOX release of the first film the audio on is off-balanced and improperly encoded, however they released a fixed version later the same year with digital audio and allegedly the balance problem is fixed (https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/53533/). Since there's like a billion Aliens project that have been attempted here I'm curious to see if anyone has attempted to cap this disc and synced it. If anyone has a copy it I will sync it if isn't already.

I found this forum after some google searches for how to fix the audio issues of a dub of one of my favorite childhood movies- one I share with my little girl now. Soooo uuuhhh hi?

Found this pace while looking for restorations of specific films!

Hey ho! The AI sent me here, while I was looking for a restored original theatrical cut of a movie. Nice to be here. PS: I'm also on fanedit dot org with the same nick.

hi, registered after reading about audio shenanigans for bond movies

So, I love Aliens SE version. Wanted to upgrade the bluray audio to something else.
There is a 35mm print floating with great 2.0 flac audio. Took that one to the basis of the project.
I cleaned the audio a bit with rx11 eliminating the worst ”snap, crackle & pop”. Then synced it to theatrical bluray.
Next I took the stereo track from the SE version from UHD. I know there is a debate wether the track is original stereo or 5.1 fold down. Anyways, I like it more than the bluray dtsma. So I took the SE parts from UHD stereo and combined both tracks. Finally I took the SW track and LS/LR tracks from bluray and combined them to my own frankenstein 4.1 (actually 5.1 but C is empty). Result -> nice audio upgrade.

Found this site going down a rabbit hole of original surround mixes on a bunch of movies. Looking forward to learning a lot on here!
