I did a score restoration for the 4K remastered film, putting back some of the cues that were either dialed out or omitted entirely.

Cues such as:

OCP Monitors (second half was dialed out of the film)

Helpless Woman (Second half was unused but never should have been removed, as it scores the scene when RoboCop punches Miller the gunman out the window)

Gas Station Blow-up (parts of the score were dialed out of the film)

Rock Shop (opening was unused, the electronic chimes were removed from the mix)

Across The Board (the second half removed leaving the film's ending unscored) - I had to shorten the segue into the end titles to fit the scene but it works nonetheless.

The one cue I did not restore was 'Murphy's Dream', because it was not possible to overlay that music in the audio track because it clashed with the music already used in the film, which was 'Force Shoots Robo'.

For fun, I included the old Orion Pictures logo music from the good old days of watching the movie on VHS.

It's in DTS-HD Master Audio 4.0 surround (Left, Center, Right, Center Surround).

I had done a 5.1 mix but it was too big for the film's video track to fit onto a single-layer Blu-ray disc - it ended up being an even 24 GB (despite the advertised capacity of 25 GB, blank discs and hard / flash drives of course are always smaller than the label says and blank Blu-rays are close to 22.9 GB.

Making it a 4.0 track made it 23 GB so it might fit when I get some blank discs.

4.0 also recreates the original Dolby Surround mix the film had theatrically, included on some of the DVD releases of the film.

To use this file, you have to take the 4K remastered film (I'm not sure if it will sync with other releases of the extended director's cut - I know the Criterion will not sync with this properly because the Murphy torture scene has a different sound mix than the MGM or 4K releases had), REMOVE the original DTS-HD audio track and other language tracks (except the audio commentary). Reason why is because if you decide to burn it to blank Blu-ray disc you need to make sure it will fit. In my case, my version has this restored score audio, the MGM commentary track and the Criterion commentary track. It made for a 23 GB file which I'm hoping will still fit to disc with a little overburning if necessary.

Enough rambling:

This seems amazing. But if I get it, this is for the film only?

Yes, you add this audio track to the movie itself.

TSMuxer (http://www.videohelp.com/tools/tsMuxeR) or (TSMuxerGUI) is a good program to use. If you have the BDMV & Certificate files for the mastered in 4k edition on your HDD, drag and drop the file 00800.mpls from the playlist directory into TSMuxer. You will then have a list of all the video, audio and subtitle streams which can be un-ticked if surplus to requirements.
From this point, you can drag and drop JHFan's custom edit and create a new BD .ISO or folder structured Blu-ray which can then be burned to disc or played from a media player directly.

Ordinarily, You could just drag and drop the m2ts file, but the video on this disc (afaik) is branched. Possibly to facilitate the choice of watching either the theatrical or unrated cut? I'm not sure.

There is no option to watch the theatrical cut. The unrated is the only version on the disc. I use the newest version of TSMuxerGUI almost every day. :)

I've also made a Dolby Digital 5.1 ac3 file, encoded at 640kbps. If I also provided that it would be a big space-saver if the DTS-HD track is too big.
