[Canceled] Batman (1989) - Open Matte (Upscale Project )

[00shevin]

I boosted the DB by +6 in audacity 
it sounds better than the blu ray audio - much more bass 
you can hear the background music much clearer in the scene where knox meets b. wayne

Are you talking the LD PCM?

the LD synced to blu ray track posted - it was too low so I upped it up 6db

The LD pcm and flipper dvd 5.1 are from the same source with much more low end than the 5.1 on the se dvd and bd. I discovered this a few years back and have no idea why it happened unless one is 35mm and the other is 70mm.

However I think the newer track is likely a remix as it has a different sound signature and the 70mm Dolby was mono surround and likely identical to the 35mm Dolby Stereo.
I much prefer the old mix. Definitely keep the flipper dvd 5.1 as it’s a discrete rendering of the pcm. It’d be nice to have both with this release.

Yeah, I noticed that the volume was a bit low too. Apart from that, it's a nice mix.

for some reason it sounds better on the blu ray mix for the grenade dropping scene from the car later on in the movie 
*sigh* both mixes have their pluses and minuses
its not a very dynamic mix to begin with the gun shots sound like crap I guess tim burton was trying to make it sound like a 50's movie.

That's back when I didn't boost the sounds on my caps. So Batman is at the line level volume from the optical cable. Nowadays, especially for projects, I make sure all the tracks are close in volume/gain/etc.

The bit-perfect source is always the same volume though, correct? As it's saved on the original LD.

When you boost, do you boost by 6dB increments to avoid rounding errors?

Yeah it's bit perfect so it's as transparent to the original as possible including volume. But that file has been edited and converted from 44.1 to 48 so a little off from the source.

I just went in the effect tab and boosted the whole track tho +6 was excessive I redid it at +2
