Does anyone know if h_h's new mix is lossless-sourced? Otherwise maybe there's no reason to make a DTS-HD MA track of it?

I think h_h's old SW mix was in AC3 448kbps.

As before, the main source is Belbucus' 1993 PCM stereo track; and for this version the edited sections come from Mallwalker's 1985 mix, also lossless.  Due to the specific properties of the bass, the best source for much of the LFE channel is the lossy 1997 mix.

While download links were only ever made generally available for the 448 kbps AC3 encodes of the first versions, d_j did obtain the uncompressed files, though with his computer issues I don't know if he still has them.  This time I hope to eventually post all the tracks in lossless form as well as in AC3, so DTS-HD MA encodes are certainly feasible.  Since most of the audio is laserdisc-sourced, the resolution is 16-bit rather than 24, but all the available sound quality will be preserved.  ;)

*goes back to working on the mixes*
