Composer Mick Gordon is known for his work in 2016 Doom and the recently released Doom Eternal, after controversial changes to the audio track of Eternity , The series cast doubt on his future.
After the release of the OST in the OST (Doom Eternal Collector's Edition), many fans and enthusiasts entered the social media to criticize its mix. Twitter users @thatACDCguy First, by comparing the wavelength difference between the two versions, I noticed the difference between the original BFG partition in Doom 2016 and the BFG 2020 remix in the soundtrack of Eternity. For those without gold ears, this means a small dynamic range-the ratio between quiet and loud-that causes the instrument to sound too condensed.
The tweet reads: "Mick Gordon is a more talented audio engineer than me, and it's not even close enough, which is what makes him particularly frustrated." "I expect him to be good Many. Again, the music itself is amazing, but frankly, this mix in the official soundtrack is terrible. "

In response, Gordon revealed that he actually had nothing to do with the release of the original soundtrack. He said on Twitter: "I don't mix and I won't do that." "You will be able to find a small part of my mix (eg Meathook, Command and Control, etc …)"
I didn't mix it, and I wouldn't do it. You will be able to discover a small part of my mix (such as Meathook, Command and Control, etc.).

Comments from a few months ago showed that Gordon knew about the changes made before the soundtrack was released. "Fun fact: All these stupid" time signature changes "are due to someone putting together this piece of music during the marketing process without any musical knowledge," Gordon wrote in a YouTube comment in February.
Although it is not clear who made official remarks about the final result, Gordon told a fan that he is unlikely to join the team again.
I commented on this yesterday. I turned around to break the news here. It ’s a dark day for our beloved Doom series
