Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome (1985) - Original Theatrical Mix Preservation (Released)

i don’t know the details what the 5.1 audio on the dvd/blu-ray is sourced from. but i would guess it’s coming from the 70mm 6 track magnetic masters. it’s not a bad mix at all, but after listening to the original 35mm mix from the laserdisc, i have to say that i prefer the laserdisc audio. it sounds much better and it’s not as harsh in some scenes then the 5.1 mix. i didn’t do a full-blown comparison, but during the syncing of the audio, the ld waveforms alone looked better - more dynamic if i can say this - i’m no audio technician, so please excuse me for lacking the proper terms 😉

anyway… the laserdisc is synced and ready to be shared to those who have interest.

source: ntsc laserdisc - special thanks to PDB for providing the pcm audio
synced by myself to the blu-ray using adobe audition
release format: flac, 16bit 2.0 (dolby surround) at 44.1khz
download: -

why do you use flac instead of wav?
flac is a lossless codec and saves spaces. you can transcode it to wav easily, if you need it.

please note: if you share this on another place, then don’t forget to give credit to the people making this release possible.

Thanks for this. Unless I'm mistaken, the mix is Dolby Surround. I will give it a listen tonight :)

of course it's dolby surround ;)

Listening to it right now. This LD mix is awesome! It's very close to the Blu-ray mix, but better, as you noted. Thanks again for this wonderful treasure. THIS is the sound of Mad Max 3!

Watched this tonight and the track sounds sublime! Great clarity especially in Bartertown.

I also enjoyed the movie a lot more this time round too.

Thank you zeropc
