Interesting. I'll have to download that OP to see. It'd be cool if you could make this for this other action show that is unfortunately in stereo. Well, it's better than mono...but it is still stereo. Oh well, can't have everything can we?
What are the "original soundtrack CDs" though? Do you mean the episodes themselves will have 5.1 as well and not just the opening/ending? |

Yes.
The Sailor Moon Music Box contains *most* of the BGM used in the show along with cue lists of the BGM that was used in each ep. Mr Yaoiboy will take rips from the cd and use that the remaster the OST. The DVD's have a monaural AC3 soundtrack but the soundtrack cd's are stereo. Mr Yaoiboy is the master audio expert as he has demonstrated in Harlock. -gumbaloom |

Ah, so you're putting it all together all over again and making it 5.1 in the process? So cool! Will you be creating some bass effects as well? I can't seem to convert the test clip opening to DVD so I can't hear the 5.1 sound.

I hadn't planned on doing too much work with the sound FX, but I did anyway... The sub is primarily being used to "beef up" the music track. If time allows I may start to do more extensive FX work like I'm using on Harlock, but it takes longer. |

Yes, I saw. Thanks very much! *goes download* I think Sailor Stars is the only season I watched only once (except for the last few episodes and SuperS, but then I didn't want to watch SuperS ever again).
And I'm curious about what technique you use for remastering the audio from a mono track even. Did you add bass and all that SFX? |

When dialog and music are present together, I mix the stereo music on top to mask out the mono music. This can get tricky! ^_^ I did a bit of FX work like the birds, wind, reverb and "shoujo sprinkles." ^_^ The FX I add come from either an FX library or samples from the show. The music comes from the OST CDs. If time permits, I'll do more extensive audio work as I become more familiar with the show. |

Interesting, so does this new audio track with its new FX sound exactly the same as the original besides the 5.1 upgrade? Sorry, it's still downloading so I can't hear it yet. Am excited!
Edit: Okay, I've seen it on my DVD player now. Some feedback. The enhanced 5.1 effects for the songs is prety nice. However for the rest, it sounds like stereo without much "surround sound" coming from the rear speakers. But I guess making a true 5.1 surround sound from a mere mono audio is a pretty difficult task, if at all possible. Keep it up! Last edited by Sakuya; 2006-04-22 at 21:53. |

If you'd like a sample of what I'd consider a more complete remastering, check out our Captain Harlock: Special Edition. I'll try and raise Sailor Stars to this level. Thanks for the feedback! |

What I did here was download the xvid version of ep.167, then use Virtual Dub Mod to remove the mp3 soundtrack, then use my favorite mpeg4 to mpeg 2 conversion program to convert the video (cause the audio was already ac3 5.1 nothing had to be done to it), then reauthor it into an ISO file and burn it to a dvd-result-the best looking and sounding Sailor Stars ep. I've ever seen!! And I'm not a fag or female! I"m just a shojo lover.

File format question
Okay folks...
Here is the question: What file format would you prefer to have for the h264 version? Here are the choices: 1) MP4 file with h264 video and bog standard remastered aac audio but not 5.1 (2.0 stereo) - CURRENTLY USED FORMAT 2) MKV file with h264 video (hard subbed) with 5.1 surround ac3 audio 3) AVI file with h264 video with 5.1 surround ac3 audio All choices include the original mono track as well. The XviD version will continue to be released as is. The next release will be based on the answers we receive here. HE-AAC 5.1 is not being offered as an option because I'd prefer not to compress the audio any more than necessary. The music is very dynamic and AC3 will let it sound it's best. ^_^ |

Is the MKV the only one that's hard subbed since it's the only one that's noted as that. I'm going to get the normal XviD version so that won't apply to me. But my opinion is that MKV and AVI would be more compatible formats for people.
So how is your audio mastering coming along? You're doing something very unique that I've never seen done before. |
