"Regardless of what you're doing...a remixed and compressed 5.1 remix will NEVER sound better than a PCM 2.0 if that was its original format."

First of all, it's not any more "remixed" than that which you listen to on your PLII receiver. I've not doctored anything.

Secondly, it's kinda funny, because I've never claimed anything along the lines of my soundtrack sounding greater or worse. ou seem to be an expert on a soundtrack you've not even heard

"Drop the attitude. I've been nothing but nice on this forum and I'm doing a big service to the fans. Just because I'm challenging what YOU are doing, don't get nasty."

Why oh WHY do people create 5.1 tracks. THERE IS NO 5.1 TRACK!!!!!!!!!!! LEAVE IT ALONE!!!!!!!

The Def. Collection is the same transfer as the faces laserdisc. *sigh* Do you know what you're doing?


That's funny. I read two, very definite slams in your inital post to mine, which simply explained what I had done. Is this what you consider "nice"? Treating people who "mess" with your precious PCM soundtrack like they killed your favorite kitten? You were so anxious to put down my project that you didn't even realize my question implied the fact that the Def. Col. and "Faces" sets were the same transfer. I've yet to see what "service" was really being given here. Everyone else seems to be able to respond in an amiable manner to what I talked about. You might consider following their lead, instead of getting "nasty" yourself.

"I think all he was saying is that he is mixing up his mix from a 2.0 source much the same way the sound team at Lucasfilms mixed up theirs. But I honestly don't care about all that."

Agreed. It formed the basis for the 5.1 remix (which didn't just "pop" into existence on its own, ya know), but was not the remix in and of itself. Obviously, it was touched up beyond that for the LD and theatrical releases, which is more than I did for mine. You want to scream at someone for altering the soundtrack, go scream at Ben Burtt and Gary Summers.
