Twitch has been on a very controversial spiel with DMCA takedowns, purging years&#8217; worth of content for in-game sounds that honestly should be protected. For those curious about how streaming a game with so many tracks involved, here is how CD Projekt RED is handling the DMCA landscape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As noted in our previous coverage way down at the bottom, CD Projekt RED has added a &#8220;streamer mode&#8221; that will disable the tracks that could qualify to be taken down by DMCA restrictions. This won&#8217;t remove every track and there won&#8217;t be any missing holes of sound either. While the affected tracks will be removed, each spot will be filled with a different (original) track that meets DMCA standards. With over 150 tracks available, there is more than enough to filter through in order to keep the immersion going without missing a beat.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe allow=\"autoplay\" allowfullscreen frameborder=\"0\" height src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YAVvwv-YSJ4\" width>[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>As for the auditory experience that Cyberpunk 2077 will have to offer, the music behind Night City is beyond incredible. We were given a chance to take a peek the music and it didn&#8217;t take long before these sounds quickly skyrocketed to my personal top five soundtracks of all time in terms of gaming. Each track flows very differently, and CDPR didn&#8217;t go the traditional techno route that many were expecting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>A lot of the tracks are guttural in a way that just hits&nbsp;<em>right.&nbsp;<\/em>Some of the more subtle variations in sound also get under your skin in a way tha you won&#8217;t realize, taking that immersion to a more intimate level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We sat down with the three composers for the sounds behind Cyberpunk 2077, including&nbsp;Marcin Przyblowics (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt), P.T. Adamczyk (Gwent: The Witcher Card Game), and Paul Leonard-Morgan (Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II), and we learned <i>a lot&nbsp;<\/i>about the team behind this creative endeavor.
