Immorpher Posted August 31, 2018 I received the 4 vinyl set of the Doom 2016 soundtrack... I have enjoyed Mick Gordon since some of his musical contributions to Borderlands 2, then Killer Instinct reboot, and of course Doom! Although pricey, the vinyl boxset is pretty neat. I got it from: https://www.lacedrecords.com/collections/doom 0 Share this post Link to post

I knew D4's soundtrack felt familiar I just checked to see who made Borderlands's music and it actually wasn't Mick Gordon, my mistake! Some of the songs were actually Sonic Mayhem (Quake 2) and somehow I got it confused in my head!http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Soundtrack 0 Share this post Link to post

Some of the songs were actually Sonic Mayhem (Quake 2) and somehow I got it confused in my head! Thought so. Mick didn't have any involvement in Borderlands 2 as far as I recalled. BTW, funny little mistake on the wiki page you linked: Quote The music for Borderlands was created by Raison Varner (Gearbox audio lead), Cris Velasco, Jesper Kyd, Sascha Dikiciyan and Sonic Mayhem. Sascha is Sonic Mayhem. 0 Share this post Link to post
Varis Alpha Posted September 7, 2018 i got the boxset that had the red vinyls, CD and slipmat included. it was definitely worth it. the presentation is stellar and the box itself is really nice and sturdy. i don't know how different the vinyls sound in comparison to the CD, but it sounded pretty beefy for being on vinyl. i'd say the box itself is worth it just for the nice presentation and box it comes with. 1 Share this post Link to post

By the time I had the cash to pre-order it the CD and slipmat version was sold out. But I wanted the vinyls mostly anyway and I agree it sounds great! 0 Share this post Link to post

(At least on fresh ones, as I've heard that the more one is listened to, the worse the audio quality becomes.) I have nothing to back up these claims though :P Technically on vinyl since it is analog the "etching" can be finer that the 44.1 kHz, 16 bit limitation of CD audio, the quality can be better. However it depends on how the music was produced. A lot of digital audio workstations tend to recommend staying at CD quality and can become unpredictable at higher qualities (so Mick Gordon's original audio could be at this rate). But when recording live audio like guitar it is recommended to work at 96 kHz, 24 bit, which is much higher quality than CD, and Mick Gordon did a ton of this (also with his analog synths in the "Doom matrix") so his final output may be much better than CD. Random aside: I always wondered if they could have made the laserdisc analog video format into audio, so you could get the "potential" finer detail of analog but without the damage over time the needle does on vinyl records. 1 Share this post Link to post
