waveforms of all tracks from the Blu-ray: 

how to get the tracks for your use? easy, this is a simplified guide for Windows. this is by no means the best or easiest way, just one of the possible ways.

 

1. extract Blu-ray with MakeMKV. in Settings, enable Expert mode, Advanced settings appear, switch to FLAC there.

depending on what files you use, either right away open Blu-ray disc, or (if you already ripped the disc), open "index.bdmv". it loads the disc with all the chapters and stuff.

in the left pane, only select the two Titles with "13 chapters" and "6 chapters", deselect all the other Titles. by each of those two, only select "DTS-MA" Audio tracks, nothing else (or you could opt for TrueHD track - the result would be exactly the same, as both DTS-MA and TrueHD contain losslessly compressed LPCM sound)

(for some reason, each Title has one more empty chapter in the end, so really it is only 12 AFD chapters and 5 bonus chapters)

in the right pane, make sure FLAC is selected, and click Make MKV. you'll receive TWO MKV files, both with proper chapters and 6-channel FLAC audio.

 

2. I use Foobar2000 to play audio, but it also can easily convert stuff. make sure you install it with Conversion capabilities (I'm not sure if it can convert in the lightweight installation). 

you'll also need flac.exe encoder, or just install the Free Encoder Pack for Foobar2000.

add one of the MKVs in Foobar2000 playlist. it won't play the video, but it can "unpack" the chapters from the MKV. you'll now get all the tracks.

select all of them, right click, click Properties, Tools, Auto Track Number, confirm. (this step is neccessary, because all the tracks now have the same name and would overwrite each other during the extraction)

select all of them again, right click, in Convert menu select "..." (three dots). make sure Output Format is set to FLAC and Output Depth is 24bit, no dithering. click Back.

now click Destination, select "Convert each track to individual file", name format will be for example %track%

fire up the conversion. you'll get 6-channel FLACs for each AFD song. repeat the process with the other MKV.

you can delete the Track 13 from AFD and Track 6 from Bonus tracks, they are empty. you can also delete both MKVs.

 

3. if you also want separated channels from the multichannel FLAC, use for example Audiomuxer.

go to Tools menu, Audio Convert. click Select Audio and load all your multichan FLACs there.

use Mono WAV to separate channels. you'll end up with separate channel WAVs.

you can again use Foobar2000 to convert the WAVs to FLAC, just load them all into Foobar2000 playlist, select all, right click them, Convert, and just use "last used".

you're done  you now have both 6-channel FLACs for each song, and separated tracks from each of them.

Thank you for this!

This looks awesome 31illusions! Can you tell me what sources you used to make this? I would like to make something like this but I am not very knowledgeable about Demos, sessions and dates. If you could help that would be great!  Again looks awesome!

Cheers!

Hi, Could someone tell me where I can hear some of the Mystic Studio sessions from 85? I missed the sound cloud files and won't be able to afford the locked and loaded.

I understand some of the stuff was released on lower quality bootlegs.  Could someone please tell me some of these titles.

Cheers!
