While this is very well made and highly respectable, as a musician I can say that these types of things are easy to do with some practice. The real challenge is writing something unique and original, such as Mick Gordon. Of course, no hate intended towards Composerily, he did a very good job. Just getting the thoughts out.

"Basically you're trying to destroy sound." That's all I need.

[@VendettaSoundtracks]

Music production in a nutshell to be honest. Even most of the best audio engineers have no idea what the fuck half of a synth's functions do, they just screw with it until they get something that sounds good. Or, in this case, until its DEEP FRIED

[@thomasway0320]

Literally, rip and tear until the track is done.

[@SlyHikari03]

Merzbow wants to know ur location

[@crisscrossam]

that's kinda reverse engineering what mick did. he more so used different means to create sounds from sine waves, while here he's got some sounds and making them sound as close as possible to mick's using different techniques. and i gotta admit it may not sound like a staple mick gordon doom track, but it sounds pretty damn good and close enough to what he would do without having an entire chain of pedals and effects to make the sounds.

[@VendettaSoundtracks]

@@crisscrossam Mainly square waves, in Mick's case. It's how he gets all of these rough, sharp and aggressive sounds out of his synth - I can't even begin to imagine how much sidechaining he had to do for some of the more harsh stuff.

I think this is absolutely amazing!

[@wolfgangrecordings]

but... the doom soundtracks are super popular, why would you think you were the only people interested in them from a production perspective?

[@spazzattack23]

@@wolfgangrecordings probably just cause i haven't seen another "popular" KZbinr make a video dedicated to their production style. Mick has uploaded his own vids on his technique I've seen, few if any have dedicated a video on their channel to him. I don't mean any harm, just wanted to mention to composerily I can appericate.

[@maximeteppe7627]

yeah, doom never sounds as clean, even when it's all synths. but overall it's a pretty good imitation.

[@gunmaster6532]

When you perform a glory kill But then realized your playing laser tag O-O

[@vitormartins5742]

The one difference I notice the most with Mick Gordon's guitars in relation to this video is that Mick's have quicker attack/release, the notes don't linger as much as they do here. That creates the "groovyness" of the Doom OST sound.

The real Mick Gordon have way more distortion, like your guitar still sounds like electric guitar, Mick Gordon's guitar is so heavily distorted that barely recognizable

Well, in Doom Eternal guitar is actually more recognizable

@@kirabad-artist6532 some poor amateur mixed most of the doom eternal soundtrack, not mick Gordon. That's why mick is angry and leaving.

His guitar was easily recognisable, even with the chainsaw sound, it was just not your typical chug sound, it had a bit more body to it and fuzz level distortion.
