In other news, Bethesda fucks up yet another property of theirs

https://www.criticalhit.net/gaming/doom-eternals-officially-released-soundtrack-is-a-poorly-mixed-mess-that-composer-mick-gordon-barely-had-a-hand-in/

According to Mick’s words from the article, this may result in him just not working with B ever again, even if there’s a Doom 3 in like 2024

Yeah, TES VI and Starfiend are totally not going to be a mess

How TF you don’t get input on mixing from the composer much less someone like Mick? Who does that?!

How is Hatsune Miku still a thing? You’d think with the wave of virtual youtubers going on in japan she’d disappear into obscurity

Why? She’s the OG. Idol loyalty is no joke to these people.

god damn weebs smh my head

Man you don’t know the half of it. Seen people dump an idol because she got a boyfriend. Miku is perfect because she will never be “unpure.”

Also isn’t she like Partially owned by Toyota or something so she has that going for her to.

You can’t usurp the original Digital Empress that easily. Many have tried. All have failed.

Someone sent the doomslayer to Bethesda HQ. Only a demon would fuck up Doom’s OST like this. This is an unforgivable sin.

Never heard of this game, but it looks dope asf. Going to grab it this week.

Thats not surprising at all considering Beth seems like a company that is all about cutting corners in places they don’t think people will notice. They probably have some audio monkeys in house that did a rush job on it bc Bethesda told them they had 2 days to mix and master the whole thing.

Plus they probably had someone who doesn’t know how to mix metal mixing it. Metal isn’t like other genres where you can make a fudgy mix and it’ll be OK after mastering. Metal needs a lot of care at the mixing stage because of it doesn’t get that, it’ll sound terrible, especially newer metal. Sounds to me like they had someone just squash the shit out of everything with a mastering compressor because someone upstairs told them to “make it loud!”

Audio is generally where game companies will cut corners. It’s always the last thing to get done and generally given the least amount of time to get right. And given Beth’s reputation, it’s not a surprise to me that they put that out and didn’t even bother to have anyone do any QA.

Probably just watched a 5-minute tutorial and shipped it, that’s the only way of explaining how the result is so shitty. I mean mastering is a delicate process that needs a lot of versioning, experimentation, figuring out audio signal chain, playing around with frequencies, making sure there’s no noise, distortion, other artifacting, there’s so much shit that goes into the whole thing, especially if this official soundtrack was done at Beth HQ with no proper equipment like what Mick had used while creating music for Doom and Doom Eternal

Huh? Vtubers don’t invalidate Vocaloids. You realize that Vocaloids are essentially instruments right? People will make music with them for as long as they want

Thats a really good point to, Vocaloids are really fan driven.
