I'm not savvy enough to remix anything, but the CD sound is pretty disappointing and if I could listen to the Blu-ray instead, I'd never play the CD again. Any advice would be much appreciated!MuffinMcFluffin wrote:LOL she could always use another fan.gbruin wrote:Hmm. Was that really a good idea, Muffin?
Anyway, I'm doing a little mini-project of taking the BD audio, doing a little mixing on the low end (as others have mentioned), and going to save those clips to MP3 instead of the CD files and their mix. That one is just a bit too rough for me.
I'm so sorry that I never responded to these! I guess I simply didn't see them. What are the odds that I missed two of them? I have no freakin' idea. Maybe I just couldn't respond at the time (I see a lot of these while at school), and never looked back.

I would then just choose the 2.0 option. The 5.1 is intended for somebody with five channels and a subwoofer. Now, did they do it perfectly? Not even close; the low-frequency effects are absent and the sound itself is not the clearest, but the separation is there and it helps much more than the CD version, that much I can say. I even ripped them to my computer and can make better sounding 2.0 versions than the CD one if you want to hear a sample.
Anyway, I used MakeMKV to rip the Blu-ray itself. Once I did that, I used Lame and FFmpeg to import the six channels of the 5.1 track into Audacity. If you haven't done any of this before, sadly I'm not the person to go to for a tutorial, but Google will really be your friend on this one! First thing you'd need, though, is a Blu-ray drive.
However, if you personally want the whole 5.1 audio as a WAV file or something (MP3 has to downmix to two channels), then let me know and I can send it to you through Google Drive or something. That way it's uncompressed, and all you have to do is just open the file up in Audacity.
I might go back to this project again, because life got in the way for me to continue on with it at the time.
