I don't think much needs to be said about how shitty the 5.1 sounds, but wow, comparing back to back its a crazy difference! There is extreme filtering going on in addition to pitch changes. Check out the sequence around 27:50 to see just how different it sounds. Happy Halloween!

What makes the 5.1 sh!tty out of curiosity? I never actually sat down and paid attention to the audio to the movie so I'm kind of curious.

Here's a quick and dirty comparison of the scene I mentioned above. The BD track is very weak overall compared to the LD

Wow, that really is quite a difference.

This LD has the new color timing?

As for the mono mix: Is it the same as first Jap LD, but as digital audio?

No, I believe that's a different release you're referring to (SF078-5044), also where the previous analog capture is from. This mix does sound the same from what I can tell, it's just a digital capture.

I'd love to check this out!

Hi,

I’m new to this community and have found this thread about The Evil Dead (1981). I’ve downloaded the link for a quick comparison between the PCM mono track from the japanese LD and the Dolby TrueHD 5.1 track from the US BD. The difference is indeed night and day.

As I understand, the audio provided from the LD has been synchronised to the 2018 US UHD BD.

Would you be willing to share a fresh downloading link for the LD PCM mono track? This would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your time and consideration.
