Terminator SE Audio Change
Did anyone else notice that the sound of the Terminators gun (the pistol with the laser sight) was different on the DVD than on the original movie? Why did they change the sound of the gun? Also in the police station when the Terminator is pulling the power cables they took out the ricochet sound.

The SE has a completely remixed 5.1 soundtrack with new sound effects, which is discussed on the disc. The DVD also contains the original theatrical audio track with the old sound effects.

Yep, as the original track is a DD 2.0 Mono track. I once tried to go back to listen to it, and I just couldn't. Once you hear the remixed 5.1 track, you almost can't go back to the original mono.

So remember mono does not mean 'subpar' or 'bad'.
The remixed track on the other hand sounds like crap. I much prefer the BANG of the gunfire in mono,than the bleep silencer effects of the 5.1

After spending $2,000 on my dual SVS subwoofers, I like to have an LFE track when I can. Dolby Prologic 2 does send LFE to my subs but its not the same as a dedicated LFE channel.

Personally, 5.1 remix is one thing, redoing the sound fx completely is another beast. I'm just really glad they gave us the original so we can choose.
