Just putting this out there, I'm rebuilding the 1977 Zoetrope® 6 Channel audio, in effect its 5.1 surround. I'm using the 1977 Mono muxed to support all 6 channels and normalized to the 5.1 levels to build each track.
I saw the pre messed with version 57 times, I was a sonar tech and know my sound....
Um...
1) The 6 channel 70mm audio in 1977 was a 4.2 channel system called "Baby Boom" - not "Zoetrope". Perhaps you are confused with dolby's Stereo Surround that was a refinement of the Baby Boom system first used for Apocalypse Now (1979), which in effect was a 5.1 system.
2) The 6 channel version and the Mono mix are completely different mixes with completely different sound effects and even dialogue.
3) "the Mono muxed" used in this context is just nonsensical technobabble.
In conclusion, I call BS.
