What software was used to mix in DTS:X?

Check out my updated post on the audio. Major update!!!

The Sound is mixed in two systems - Adobe Audition and Protools. I didn’t mix within DTS-X as that is simply the encoder format. I created some object based sounds using the Original theatrical 5.1 music and effects only track and upmixed the lossless stereo theatrical tracks and combined/switched between these sources to create new 11.1 upmix which is finalized into 12 lossless wav/pcm/aiff channels (backed up in each format) and then encoded into DTS-X.

What I meant to say was, what software was used to encode the 11.1 WAV/PCM/AIFF channels to DTS:X?

What software was used to mix in DTS:X?

I have some requests/ideas here:

• Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2 re-edited audio tracks with game sound effects and game music
• Castle in the Sky (Laputa) Japanese audio with the American score (and an alternate version with the updated American sound effects from the 2003 Disney DVD)
• (500) Days of Summer: The Chronological Cut
• Super Mario Bros. 1993 (The Morton Jankel Cut and Theatrical) re-edited audio tracks with game sound effects and music
• The Wind Rises 3.1 stereo remix (mono sound effects and dialogue, stereo music from the soundtrack album) (yes, this 2013 film was mixed in mono)

The Sonic movie re-edited audio tracks have been partially done with the DX fanedit of Sonic Movie 1, while a Russian bootleg site has a fanedited audio track that adds game sound effects (but the same music). I want it uncut and with both game sound effects and some game music. The end credit songs can even be different with each film. Sonic 1 would have Up on the Green Hill (the 30th Anniversary song by Dreams Come True) while the sequel would have Sweet Dream by Dreams Come True (the ending for the Sonic 2 game originally used an instrumental version of this song).

Laputa’s dialogue in Japanese was mostly centred with a few stereo/surround effects here and there. Kiki, can have a similar fan edited Japanese track, combining the Japanese Dolby Stereo mix with the 1998 Dolby Digital 5.1 remixed rescore by Disney.

The Wind Rises could easily have a 3.1 stereo mix. The LFE could be carefully applied during certain scenes (I’m especially thinking the LFE would be great in the earthquake scene). But the centre channel could be the same mono mix from the Blu-ray, while the left and right channels would be taken from the CD soundtrack, with a few edits to match the film.
The soundtrack also has some songs that are not present in the final film, so maybe an extended score that restores these songs would be great too. But the centre channel should also have a mono downmix of the CD songs here too. This can be done for all versions of the film, but specifically English and Japanese is the goal.

I have some requests/ideas here:

• Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and 2: re-edited audio tracks with game sound effects and game music
• Castle in the Sky (Laputa) Japanese audio with the American score (and an alternate version with the updated American sound effects from the 2003 Disney DVD)
• Kiki’s Delivery Service: Japanese audio with the American score and theme songs from the 1998 Disney dub
• (500) Days of Summer: The Chronological Cut
• Super Mario Bros. 1993 (The Morton Jankel Cut and Theatrical) re-edited audio tracks with game sound effects and music
• The Wind Rises: 3.1 stereo remix in Japanese and English (mono sound effects and dialogue, stereo music from the soundtrack album) (yes, this 2013 film was mixed in mono)

well if it is to say.
toy story 4 got a 35mm release.
https://www.ebay.com/itm/274752634813?hash=item3ff8887fbd:g:w88AAOSwFxZgbzPo

also i found TOKYO MATER in 35mm!
https://www.ebay.com/itm/114782511695?hash=item1ab992224f:g:8eMAAOSwbmJgElHM

I’m not surprised.
Where I live in the Philippines, there was a 35mm cinema across the street from where I live.
The last movie I saw there in 35mm was the Sonic movie in 2020. But the cinema closed for three years due to COVID.
And then when they reopened just a few weeks ago, they unfortunately went digital.

Does anyone have the latest 1080p Dremastered files?
Apparently, DrDre lost the files and the links are now down.

In the theatrical release of Everything Everywhere All At Once, Jenny Slate’s character is credited at the end as “Big Nose” (with quotation marks).
The home video release, however, would change her character name to Debbie the Dog Mom.

I would love it. And not just the Original Unaltered Trilogy in 4K HDR.
I would love it much more if all versions of each film were included.
Five versions each for the Original Trilogy (OG/1997/2004/2011/2019) and four versions each for the Prequel Trilogy (OG/DVD/2011/2019).

Disney100 4K UHD SteelBooks are being prepared for the Original Trilogy.
The artwork has not been revealed yet, but Best Buy (which is the only place you can get this) lists the original versions’ runtimes for the SteelBooks.
This is most likely a mistake on Best Buy’s part, but what better way to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of The Walt Disney Company than releasing the original unaltered versions of Star Wars in 4K UHD for the first time?

It would be a very smart business decision on Disney’s part, but it is still very unlikely. Especially considering how they could easily phone it in and just stick the 2020 Special Editions discs in a new SteelBook. Disney is infamous for being super cheap with their disc releases, so I personally don’t see the Disney100 SteelBooks having the original versions. There is a one in a million chance I could be wrong, and I desperately wish I am wrong.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 alters some of the CGI to be a bit more polished, and to have extra animations.
Tails also yelps “Yay! Hugs!” at one point, which he never did in the theatrical version.

And also, Thor: Love and Thunder patched the infamous Axl floating head, in an attempt to fix it.
It just made it look worse, according to most people.

And each Rebuild of Evangelion (Shin Evangelion Theatrical Edition) film gets altered with each new release, and the original theatrical cuts are not available anywhere.
Because of this, many of the differences with the original versions are unknown, though the title does get updated with each new release.
So far, there are:

• 1.0 (original theatrical release of the first film)
• 1.01 (updated DVD version of the first film, now OOP as the later 1.11 version has been released on DVD as well; only released in HD in France and Spain as a bonus with the 1.11 Blu-ray)
• 1.11 (further updated Blu-ray version of the first film, taken from the original 720p files instead of a 35mm printout)
• 2.0 (original theatrical version of the second film)
• 2.22 (updated Blu-ray version of the second film)
• 3.0 (original theatrical version of the third film; includes a prologue short film)
• 3.33 (updated Blu-ray version of the third film; prologue short film has been removed from all international releases, but the Japanese releases keep it)
• 3.333 (further updated IMAX Enhanced 4K UHD version of the third film; prologue short film is not present even in Japan)
• 3.0+1.0 (original theatrical version of the fourth film, also released on 4DX/MX4D and IMAX)
• 3.0+1.01 (updated last run theatrical/Amazon Prime Video version of the fourth film, never released on IMAX and 4D formats)
• 3.0+1.11 (further updated IMAX Enhanced 4K UHD version of the fourth film, not out yet)

Yeah, IMDb does say Aladdin was Dolby Stereo. Old-time laserdisc forum be damned. There is so many conflicting reports about Disney releases it’s hard to know where to begin, and what info to trust. I’ll go off the working assumption that the 5.1 mixes from LD or DVD, before the era of “Disney home theater mixes,” are expanded 4.0 (or original 5.1) and seek those out. With exceptions for mono movies, and the 70mm movies. I’ll have to look up which were mono, Dolby Stereo, “regular” stereo, etc for the ones I’m interested in. I can live with a certain amount of manipulation if it keeps the image crisp. (The Little Mermaid Blu-ray looked very good to me.) Poor audio on the other hand can just ruin the experience, and the remixes always seem to have something funky going on.

What was the “original mix” 5.1 audio in Aladdin like?
Did it have an LFE channel? Was the rear channels mono (4.0) or stereo (5.0)?
