The Terminator - Color Regrade [No Longer Available] — Page 7

Hi guys, I’m currently syncing all available mono mixes for another project.
I tried to sync the mono mixes rips from the 1995 THX LD that previously had been released all over the web, and sadly, I must report those mixes were cut down to match the 5.1 track, meaning some parts of the sound are missing.
I’m currently awaiting for a new rip of this THX LD, that I will resync without any cuts being made to the original audio. The only improvement will be filling in the blanks at the end of the reels changes.
you can follow the progress on fanres.

That’s great news! I’d love a proper PCM mono to pair with Dek’s awesome regrade.

There are two ways to match audio, either you do it by ear and by matching the waves forms, which means sometimes the people doing it make tiny cuts so that the audio stays in sync.

Alas it’s wrong because a) you alter the original audio b) from one master to another, the audio never match exactly because it wasn’t captured the same way, but when you view it with the image, you won’t notice the tiny ms differences.

Or you do it like I do, which is syncing the audio by matching the image to the available current master.
In that case, you don’t have to worry about the waveforms being exactly in sync on every version you sync. It worked for the source master, then it will work for the new one as the frames of the film are the same.

The only modifications are adding missing audio at the end of reels or beginning, when the source master misses some footage.

I advocate as a rule to always sync by frame matching. It works 99,99% of the time.

Wow…screenshots for this look really, really great. Love your dedication to getting it right too Dek!
Would love to see this one in motion.

Finally got a chance to watch this last night…an absolute pleasure. I realize this is something of a guessing game due to the lack of materials available to base a definitive look from but this really does appear to give a very good approximation of how this might have looked on big screen way back when. Simply put…The colors and contrast were great.

I actually watched this in a double bill with the new The Hitcher blu-ray (which was itself was scanned from a German theatrical print) and although obviously different beasts they both looked very authentic to the era which is a testament to all Dek’s work on this project and this will be my go to version of this classic for the foreseeable.

Thanks again Dek!!

How do you download this?

I am looking for the original mono audio track. Could someone please share it with me?

thank you

Same here. Looking just for the mono audio.

This is great work!

Finally gotten around to watching this. Fantastic job! really felt like watching an original pristine 35mm print! A part of your mind just relaxes subconsciously when a film looks right, and that was the case here. An added bonus to hear the original mono track too. Great work Dek, and thanks for all your efforts. This is my goto now for T1 😃

This looks incredible! I always thought that The Terminator Bluray needed a regraded. Thanks a lot 😃

Ohh just reading about this would love a link to the mega for this thnx dek
Cannae wait
What a bonus
Was originally just looking for the mono pcm soundtrack now I get the regraded movie to! Cheers

Thnx dek really enjoyed watching your regrade
It looked 4k!
Best I’ve ever seen it

Hello. I bought 3 versions of T1, (BD, DVD 2008 or 2012 and MGM 2001 DVD) and non of them have original sounds, i lisened to comparisons and i want mono. Do someone have Laserdisc rip or image of dvd t1 with mono sounds or something equally as good?
