			<description><![CDATA[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.<br />
<br />
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 (<a href="https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/53533/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" class="mycode_url">https://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/53533/</a>). 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.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[So theatrical 4.1 mixes are effectively L, C, R, LFE and a single mono surround channel (Cb).<br />
<br />
If I want to sync and preserve one of these mixes, I'll eventually need to export it as a standard 5.1/6-channel file.<br />
<br />
My current approach is to duplicate the mono surround channel and route the copies to channels 5 and 6, so that the exact same signal is sent to both SL and SR.<br />
<br />
My question is: should each surround channel be attenuated by 3 dB in that case?<br />
<br />
I can't remember whether the original mono surround channel in a 4.1 theatrical mix was already compensated for this, or whether modern AVRs apply their own level compensation when they distribute a single surround channel across left and right surrounds.<br />
<br />
How do you usually handle this when converting a theatrical 4.1 mix to standard 5.1?]]></description>

<br />
I haven't seen the Cartoon Network TV miniseries <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">Over the Garden Wall</span> yet, but I'd like to watch it on Amazon and get the Blu-ray.

<br />
Thanks,<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hello there, how are doing?<br />
<br />
How would you like to elaborate and discuss the history about the Audio Mixes of the Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein Films (1945-1965) for Home Video in order to find out what audio mix is:<br />
<br />
A: The optimal audio in terms of AQ (by separating the comparison and sorting them in various best sounding channel presentations fx. "Best 1.0/2.0 Mono, 2.0 Stereo or Multi Channel (4.0 to 7.1 [or Atmos])" on the various Home Video Editions<br />
B: See if the mixes for the selected titles stick to OG audio (either 35mm Optical Mono/Stereo, Magnetic 4-Track or 70mm 6-Track mixes) or remixed audio.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Hello there, how are doing?<br />
<br />
How would you like to elaborate and discuss the history about the Audio Mixes of the Rodgers &amp; Hammerstein Films (1945-1965) for Home Video in order to find out what audio mix is:<br />
<br />
A: The optimal audio in terms of AQ (by separating the comparison and sorting them in various best sounding channel presentations fx. "Best 1.0/2.0 Mono, 2.0 Stereo or Multi Channel (4.0 to 7.1 [or Atmos])" on the various Home Video Editions<br />
B: See if the mixes for the selected titles stick to OG audio (either 35mm Optical Mono/Stereo, Magnetic 4-Track or 70mm 6-Track mixes) or remixed audio.<br />
