MIXING ISSUES
as a music producer i noticed a few issues with audio levels of certain things such as the dj volume compared to the music volumes, for some reason the dj’s voice is like A LOT LOUDER than the music volume this could be resolved by giving us radio dj volume slider. because i my self enjoy the radio dj’s they are a cool little thing to make the game feel more alive. and i like that.
the music is really quiet at max volume, and when you have everything at 10 the music is over ridden, im a person who likes to have an = sound of car and music i have my car volume on 4 or 5 to even have it somewhat close and even then the car is still a lot louder.
music shuts off in tunnels, this is a bit meh id personally like the option to disable this because i dont know about you but theres some slow cars that i dont want to hear in the tunnels for 2 minutes. if i want to hear my car, than ill just turn the radio off. no need for the game do do it for me. but maybe a % slider which allows us to chose how much turns the volume down for tunnel runs.
and than there were other volume issues with a few cars. such as the C7 Z06 corvette, that car is way too quiet, there is no reason that the C7 Z06 is QUIETER than a BMW Isseta or a Reliant Super van. that is non sense. i mean a 6.2L LT4 V8 is quieter than the Dirt Bike motor that you can swap into the Reliant. just boost up the sound of the C7 a bit.
water splashes are EXTREMELY loud, and it just like the tunnels seems to adjust the radio volume. again the game should not be doing this. and a great example of why it should be doing this is if you go into the ship wreck area the music volume is all over the place and everything is just everywhere at that point.
GENERAL AUDIO PROBLEMS
a lot of sounds remained untouched, which is disappointing considering the sounds that were redone sound AMAZING. i mean a good example of untouched sounds being the corvettes, they all sound the same as FM6 which for the C7 Z06 is fine, i liked the sound of the C7 Z06 in FM6
the radio stations stutter, and the radio dj’s get cut off a lot because of it. this is just an annoying bug.
CONCLUSION
there re probably more issues with the mxing of the volume of different cars, i just havent gotten around to driving every car, i mean come on its 350+ cars i will add to this list as i find the issues with the audio so stay up to date with this thread.
I KNOW this is all EXTREMELY nit picky, but these are some things that really bothered me with the audio, what i want to say is who ever made the sounds them selves (the ones that were redone) did a great job with the gtr being my favorite sounding car in the game, but the mixing of the audio is really really bad.
im enjoying the game overall. its actually a tie in terms of enjoyment with fh1. id just really like it if Playground took the time to look at some of the things i pointed out and adjust, and give us the options to change accordingly.
