If there is clipping in the mono track, it certainly wasn't caused by me.  It looks like a very mild limiter was used to prevent it from exceeding digital maximum, but perhaps it didn't fully prevent it on every single sample.  In any case, it's so brief that some software may not even report it as clipping to begin with, and anyone who says they can hear it is probably a liar.

The DTS version in the mkv should read a peak level of -3.2, since that's how much I lowered it to level-match with the other audio tracks.  Proper dithering was used to ensure that no quantization distortion was introduced by the gain change (POW-R with noise shape setting number 1, in case that makes any difference).

I'm glad to hear the isolated score is being enjoyed . . . I'm rather pleased with it myself.  ;)  It isn't lossless here but it probably will be for the eventual Bluray version (dark_jedi already has it this way for Project Blu), though at 320 kbps you'd be hard-pressed to tell it apart from a WAV most of the time.
