[Released] Terminator 2 CDS mix

[Stamper]

Come on, it's the only mix that make T2 look and sound like the T1 we love! (Though of course I prefer the CDS).

MUSE was discrete LCRS alongside standard 2.0 PCM, so possibly the 70mm (with mono surround and no subwoofer)

That was my thought, but never heard anyone confirm it

I think it's more likely based of the Dolby Stereo SR mix, a discrete version of that would also be cool to see.

I’ve heard T2 in 70mm mag. Dolby A.

I think the US AC3 Laserdisc sounds the closest to that experience.

1998 AC-3 LD (with TriStar Pictures Logo)?

[izzybell]

The AC-3 is the one I have the big issues with. It's really quiet and not all that dynamic, its fairly dynamically compressed actually. On top of the already not great volume the AC-3 compression is very audible despite the fact it's frequency cut-off isn't that much worse than the CDS mix on the JP DVD. Lastly the LFE is just pitiful, very little activity with no volume to boot which sucks for a movie like T2. It's overall a very mediocre track to me, the JP DVD packs a much greater punch that this ever could. Do note I had to decode this with BeSync and there's always a possibility the capture I got is faulty but considering the rest of the stuff I've gotten from this guy (david49120) is good I'm fairly certain this is accurate.

Once again will have to admit I was wrong here, the export produced by syncing software somehow messed with the levels and compressed them. Working on a new export and will update my analysis soon.

That whole disc needs to be archived, and both squeeze discs (first one is the good one I will die on that hill)

Ok so I actually synced those THX tracks not too long after posting that message but it has taken me a few days to get to analyzing them and I don't really have much positive to say about them.

Goes without saying since we already know this but neither of these are the CDS mix, I had assumed it was and even said so in the shoutbox to someone but I will admit upfront I got this one wrong. I'll start with the PCM, I actually don't mind it too much all things considered. It has more bass than the theatrical stereo does and sounds nice. I still prefer the Theatrical stereo from the original LD but this track is more than fine for a remix.

Quick question:
The rutracker 35mm scan comes with a PCM audio ripped from a LD (LD68952-2DD). According to lddb, released in 1991. Is it the one you mean?
(The PCM one included in the rutracker scan doesn't sound right, IMO).

LD68952-2DD was released in 98

Have you tried this ?

Ooops, my bad. Yeah, there are other LD69852 that were released in '91, but that 2DD is from '98.


Yeah, I do have the izzybell rip (this one is nice). I even fixed the glitch in the audio (bar scene, 7min 18sec), 60ms missing.
