As a big fan of The Witcher 3 and it's audio, I've made a mod consisting of the changes that I personally prefer in my playthroughs. Most of the mod touches the mix of the game, basically adjusting volumes and the frequency spectrum of the audio. I have plans for replacing some of the audio with new assets created by me for the game, where I feel that it's truly needed.

My goal is to stay as true as I can to the vanilla experience, so I'll be quite conservative and careful with making any big changes.

The mod started because I got frustrated with how loud the music is constantly. So after reducing the volume of the music when the player is only exploring, I decided to keep going and add more changes. Now I feel that the mod is in it's first conception and I'm very excited to hear what you guys think of it!

An important note is that this project is based on my personal opinion and I don't want to reflect it as any negativity towards the original audio! The work that they've done is amazing and I would never want to discredit that.

I'm open to suggestions down in the comments on what changes you like / don't like! Also if you have new ideas for what I could change, I would love to hear about them :)

Special thanks to Guido Ignacio Fazzito for helping me get started with setting up the WWise project!
