[Released] Terminator 2 CDS mix

[izzybell]

yeah it was the R1. The biggest difference I notice is that the bass/backend is raised higher. Sounds punchier than the 2015 BD but not necessarily better

How can I request the CDS mix for the 2015 BD? I own the Jp disc, but it sounds like a pain to sync properly.

I'd like to sync it to JP Geneon BD, If you could share the track.

Last week i analyzed the DTS audio track of Japanese DVD and the AC3 CDS mix of a 1998 Live Entertainment/Artisan DVD (same mix with 97 copy).

The data is as follows:

R2 Japanese DTS: integrated LUFS level of the mid-channel -20.5 dB, LRA 22.9 dB, and maximum peak level +0.1 dB

Artisan/Live AC3: integrated LUFS of the mid-channel -21 dB, LRA 22.8 dB, maximum peak -0.1 dB

This observation confirmed that the japan Geneon disc does not have a theatrical mix. Even though the LRA is the same, it doesn't seem possible to compensate for the 0.5 dB gain difference between them.

Isn’t it just a difference between DTS and AC3 codecs that accounts for that? We can also assume that the base of those tracks is the original CDS mix, but maybe an adjusted nearfield version for home video, can’t we?

[Stamper]

I think Kado is confusing things a bit, the Japan DTS is definetely the original mix of the film and not the revised version. What he probably meant is technically it's slighty different from the Live DVD version, but in the data, not in the mix.

Yeah I've comped both in spectrogram and by ear, they are the same mix. The technical info is different purely because of the codecs.
