People are quick to try and find the villain with any situation and this DOOM: Eternal OST situation is no different. However, it seems like both parties are responsible for what happened.

I didn't mix those and wouldn't have done that. You'll be able to spot the small handful of tracks I mixed (Meathook, Command and Control, etc...)

Doominal Crossing: Eternal Horizons @thatACDCguy · Apr 18 Mick Gordon is a far more talented audio engineer than me, it's not even close & that's what makes this especially frustrating. I expect much better from him. Again, the music itself is phenomenal, but this mix on the official soundtrack is frankly terrible. 27 21 490 Mick Gordon @Mick Gordon Replying to @thatACDCguy I didn't mix those and wouldn't have done that.

Here's a comparison between the original BFG Division from Doom 2016's official soundtrack (left) vs. the BFG 2020 remix on Eternal's soundtrack from today (right).

Doominal Crossing: Eternal Horizons @thatACDCguy · Apr 18 Here's a comparison between the original BFG Division from Doom 2016's official soundtrack (left) vs. the BFG 2020 remix on Eternal's soundtrack from today (right). Notice how the wavelengths in BFG 2020 form a nearly perfectly straight bar vs. the original with more definition era WNMIANTOPAANAN www. Lamgh 98 27 341 2K Doominal Crossing: Eternal Horizons 9 @thatACDCguy · Apr 18 Now maybe you're unfamiliar with audio mixing , & you're thinking "okay there's clearly a visual difference, but how does that translate to what I'm hearing?" Basically when there's more definition in the wavelengths, there's greater dynamic range between the instruments. 3 27 22 481 Doominal Crossing: Eternal Horizons @thatACDCguy · Apr 18 In the case of music, dynamic range gives instruments more "breathing room" so-to-speak. While there are exceptions, in most cases you don't want instruments to compete with each other for dominance. You want them to harmonize together to create new & interesting sounds. 27 14 389

So what's happening

Doominal Crossing: Eternal Horizons 9 @thatACDCguy · Apr 18 So what's happening is that in the left image from Doom 2016, the instruments have greater dynamic range which is shown from the wavelengths not being as compressed together, giving the instruments that "breathing room" I was talking about. 2 27 14 356 Doominal Crossing: Eternal Horizons @thatACDCguy · Apr 18 HOWEVER, the image on the right from Doom Eternal is not this case. The wavelengths on each instrument have been compressed to the point where they are all playing back at the same volume, with exception to an occasional peak. 17 13 335 4 Doominal Crossing: Eternal Horizons 9 @thatACDCguy · Apr 18 These heavily compressed mixes were then thrown together and had their combined master volume lowered, which is what creates those seemingly perfectly parallel edges throughout. The instruments are all fighting each other, & thus the mix sounds very poor as a result. 4 27 18 346 Doominal Crossing: Eternal Horizons 9 @thatACDCguy · Apr 18 Mick Gordon is a far more talented audio engineer than me, it's not even close & that's what makes this especially frustrating.
