[Released] Terminator 2 CDS mix

[izzybell]

I have a capture of it but never formally compared it, considering it's the same bitrate as the 97 DVD I doubt it sounds much better.

As for what Kado said, The JP DVD wasn't THX Mastered so that's probably why the mastering is a little bit different. It's still the same mix and much higher quality than the 97 DVD on technical level (MUCH better high frequency detail).

It was actually THX Mastered. Has the THX intro and all.

Guys, the laserdisc 5.1 audio does not include a theatrical (CDS) mix, it is a simple near field mixed.

Integrated LUFS: -24.5 dB

LRA: 22.8dB
Highest peak level: -0.1 dBFS

The same goes for other AC3 5.1 laserdisc film mixes, which have serious limitations on their dynamic range and gain levels, i analyzed most of them.
