Alien 3 alleged 70mm 6-track mix from 1999 dvd (ac3 5.1) synced to Rob's Nostalgia Project 35mm scan (flac 5.1)

An alternative to the 2.0 from the US Blu-ray (with added static noise) used on this scan 

PM for link

I wonder if the 1999 5.1 mix is ​​powerful and dynamic enough ?¿?

I haven't had time yet to listen to it on my set up, so I'll let you be the judge of that, PM sent

Is it real 5.1 or 4.1 in a 5.1 container with mono surround duplicated?

IIRC Alien 3 was split surround for its 70mm blow up (which makes sense given it was released 1 month before Batman returns)
1999 dvd 5.1 mix is generally regarded as the 70mm 6-track transfer.
Some have said that it was 4.1 into a 5.1 container, but there are slight differences in SR and SL

I analyzed the audio. There are significant limitations regarding the fine detail extension of the dialogue, special effects, and foley elements. This mix is ​​actually more louder than necessary, and the integrated LUFS level is approximately 18% higher than that of the LaserDisc AC-3 5.1 mix I have on hand. It’s on all not a bad mix, overal sound is better than blu-ray dts-hd mixes.I liked the bass intensity.

The theatrical 70mm did indeed have Dolby 6-track with split surrounds (SR encoded, no less): https://www.in70mm.com/presents/1963_blo.../index.htm

I for one would love to hear that. I can even handle the syncing if needed.
