Audio pack for use with the controversial 2025 UHD+BD release. For practical reasons, the audio pack assumes the 2016 Perfect Edition (00002.mpls = 00004.m2ts UHD / 00002.m2ts BD). If you prefer the 1984 Theatrical version (00001.mpls), discard the first 19.436 seconds (466 film frames). | Language | Description | Format | Source | | ----------- | ------------------------------------| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | | Japanese | Drama Album | 2.0ch 44.1kHz 16-bit FLAC | 1984 LP JBX-2042~3 | | Japanese | Home Video Stereo | 2.0ch 44.1kHz 16-bit FLAC | 1984 LD SF078-5022 (CX encoded analog) + 1993 LD PILA-7008 | | Japanese | Perfect Edition Dolby Surround¹ | 2.0ch 44.1kHz 16-bit FLAC | 1993 LD PILA-7008 + 1992 LD BEAL-448 | | English | Toho dub | 1.0ch 44.1kHz 16-bit FLAC | 1987 LD TLL 2084 + 1994 UK VHS rip | | English | Toho dub - Japanese home video ver. | 1.0ch 44.1kHz 16-bit FLAC | 1987 LD TLL 2084 | _• Capture chain 1984 LD: Pioneer CLD-D925 CX decoded analog output -> Realtek ALC S1200A (motherboard) -> Izotope • Capture chain 1992 & 1993 LDs: Pioneer CLD-D925 SPDIF output -> CM6206 -> Izotope Special thanks to MartyMcflies for the audio drama capture_ The tracks feature some improvements over my previous DVD synced tracks, with the exception of the Drama Album track. Improvements on the Drama Album track are on the docket for now because my plan requires hardware investments. __Changelog__ • Home Video Stereo: improved timing² and redid the 1993 LD insert³ to fix loudness issue. • Perfect Edition Dolby SR: improved timing², new bit-perfect capture, ending theme fade-out extended with 1992 LD⁴ • Toho dubs: Performed some cleanup, and all inserts are from UK VHS rip this time (previously only the Ending). __Notes__ ¹ While the Perfect Edition Dolby Surround is present on the UHD, it is based on Bandai's inferior compressed mastering from the 1992 CAV LaserDisc. You can hear artifacting during 0-G Love that is not present on Shogakukan Video's 1993 CLV LaserDisc. ² I previously referenced the 2016 BD Perfect Edition Dolby Surround timing, but I noticed timing issues on the first reel. There are mistimed changes in the HV Stereo and PE Dolby SR that can't be fixed (e.g. in Dolby SR when drunk Fokker comes to the rescue) ³ A ±660ms insert after Misa reminisced about Riber, because 1984 LD cuts audio there to compensate for a poorly executed *fix* 6 minutes earlier. 12 frames were cut to correct an animation loop error when Macross leaves Titan's orbit (see 2007 DVD disc 2 00:15:59 for error), but they forgot to cut the audio as well! Later releases correct the animation with blending. ⁴ 1993 LD ending theme fade-out is shorter to accomodate the extras at the end of the side. CLV LDs have a limit of 60 minutes per side.
