I mean, they weren't really main composers for DMC5, so the reunion would be for maybe a song and a half if the last game is anything to go by.
The touch me and I'll break your face -> Devil Trigger -> ??? Trilogy must be completed.
People typically use the term "friendly reminder" to share things "you should most definitely be mad about" or be snarky on this site pretty often.
Not at all, I played the shit out of it for like 2 weeks straight before getting my Ultra Nightmare clear. The music fits the game mood and pace super well and is used for context of fights starting stopping.
Not the greatest band to choose in a thread about bad mixing/mastering. Rip and justice for all
Dude composed the music used in-game for the previous entry and the sequel. The music is fantastic in both releases and the mix for the OST of the original is great and done by him.
Dude, no. He created something, someone else took it and butchered it, seemingly without his consent. How would you feel if someone did that with something you created?
I completely understand your points. I understand having different edits/mixes/etc for different uses. Especially in something like a video game, which dynamically changes moment to moment. If they are contractually allowed to do it, he can't stop them. Sure, as an artist, he should probably have been more concerned with his contractual rights, if that turns out to be the underlying cause. Also, maybe there weren't any problems during the negotiation stages and he trusted the wrong people. It is possible he legit got screwed through a loophole. I mean, it's also possible he's being a diva, but history suggests when its artist vs corporation, the corporation is usually not the nice guy.
This has nothing to do with idTech. Audio mastering is outside of the engine. Also, no, not all Bethesda titles use idTech.
Hold up, where did you find the 24-bit versions. The CD I ripped it from was only 16. Are they for sale somewhere?
This has been badly brickwalled at some point by looking at it closer to hardclip at 0dBFS, pulled down in level by several dB, that one weird transient hitting 0dBFS which looks like it had to have been added in post mix. A hard limiter on the master output bus on mixdown and then imported into the rest of the track. Or just added after the mastering pass. I wouldn't be surprised if dual compression/limiting was used on this incorrectly. Either way I gave the track a listen and it has a ton of clipping distortion, drums sound especially bad with cymbals.
The CD rip is 16 FLAC though I could have made a mistake while ripping it. I didn't know you could buy stuff from Tidal. I'll buy a track and check it with Mediainfo to see if it's 24bit. Thanks for the link!
This has to be candidate for worst take of the year.
CD is encoded in 16-bit 44.1 kHz samples. Doesn't matter if you rip to higher samples or bit depth you'll just have a bunch of wasted space with no extra data, cause there's no audio data there to fill it. You didn't rip it wrong if it's 16-bit FLAC.
I think it's totally fair for him to complain. If the studio fucks with the output he makes, why would he continue to work for them? Whether it's something you personally can hear or not, he clearly cares about it a lot (and I would tell you that pretty much all musicians do).
This is also a very good point.
