I should mention that I plan to release The Empire Strikes Back Semi-Specialized Edition V2.2 with Ian McDiarmid as the Emperor in the next 2-3 days. I remember that somebody requested a release like that and I’m happy to oblige.
I think I was one of those who requested it. So, thank you kindly
I asked OT member hairy hen about the PCM track, who is the go to guy about audio stuff around here and this is what he said for a more comprehensive answer
Mhmm, Dolby Pro Logic II is a decoding processor for matrix-encoded surround sound. Essentially, surround sound downmixed to stereo that can then be reversed or upmixed. If your entertainment system features a DPLII mode, you can use the technology to simulate surround sound from standard stereo sound as well - even if it isn’t encoded. Fakes it in an acceptable manner for everyday use, I find.
I’m not positive about the following statement at all, but my uneducated understanding is that discrete channels like what kk650 is currently building are preferred to a simulated upmix.
My ears are a little sore from working so much on the cinema dts soundtracks these last few days but apart from that I’m great.
I noticed you have Episode IV’s available now. It is much appreciated!
