Even the laserdisc 5.1 suffered with this problem in places so i just did the best i could with the mix. If only i could get hold of the original surround mix from the 70's i could have done hell of a lot better with the audio.

I really like both mixes......I do think your first mix had the sound FX a little more even through the L,C, & R. Each time I watch....I really notice the how you have made so the FX coming from the right side actually are in the right channel for example. It seemed....especially in the 2004 DVD that the sounds really bled over into other channels.
How did you break the sound up like that without having the multiple master audio tracks?
Is your tweaks just frequency based?
