HALLOWEEN - Fixing the audio and re-creating 1999 color timing (Released)
Time

The 1:13:33 starts side 4 of the laserdisc which is the rest of the movie of course. So from 1:13:33 and on, it's now shifted to the end of the movie in the new wave file i made, it's uploading now.

If i had a different mono file to compare instead of the so called fake mono i would. Though if the audio matches up on the fake with the new video as it should then there's really no need to.

I would say if any thing really kind of bothered me it would be side 4 which starts at 1:13:33 and it's very noticeable at 1:19 when Laurie is banging on the door screaming to get in.

I fixed this part and made a new wav file. The reason it was like this was if i didn't have side 3 and for together correctly then there was a slight audio drop out. So instead i moved side 4 just enough but had a small drop out between 3 and 4.I  fixed this by mixing audio from the end of side 3 into the drop out, now you can't tell there was ever a drop out and side 4 lines up much better now.

Where else did you find it to be out of sync after correcting the 120ms at 20:12?

As far as I can tell by looking at the waveforms, the corrected audio remains in sync with the fake mono track from the BD right up to the end. Of course there are occasional spots where a sound effect or some dialogue is just a few milliseconds out one way or the other between tracks, but that's expected with two completely different audio mixes.

Well that's the funny thing, i didn't find the 120ms at 20:12 it was about 19ms off there. I was actually jumping around looking at side 2 for other spots,  115ms at 33:31. 120ms at 1:06:49 side 3. So i'm still not sure why you see 120ms at one spot and i see something different at the same.

Guess i should have mentioned this when i said i found 120ms

Ok so i did in fact find 120ms off but if you try to correct it then you find another part that's off. So it's no win situation, these 2 sounds tracks are not the same and can't be matched up 100%. It really now comes down to just how sensitive you are to lip sync.

Some one else will just have to take a stab at it but unless you do some fancy audio editing it's never going to be right on with the Criterion audio.
