I’m looking forward to the finished results of the audio.😊😉😊😉

My guesses the audio options will be the new multichannel remix in 5.1 surround sound, the 1955 magnetic stereo mix in 4.0 Dolby Surround and the original mono mix in Dolby Digital lossless 1.0

I’m based in the UK🇬🇧 and i have my PAL VHS of Fantasia which has the 1990 Dolby Stereo remix.

A few things:

  • Dolby Digital is a lossy compression codec. Do you mean Dolby TrueHD (or DTS-HD Master Audio or LPCM)?
  • Fantasia’s original soundtrack was not mono; it was four (or five)-channel “Fantasound”. The film was re-released with a mono soundtrack in either 1941 or 1942.

Tony, I see you’ve called the 2000 5.0 soundtrack “insanely compressed” and said that there, the score doesn’t move around the room [“as it did before”]. Care to elaborate on that? (We already know about how messed up the 2010 7.1 soundtrack is, so I’m wondering if the 5.0 mix fares any better despite being encoded as two lossy audio tracks)
