But the reason?

But the reason?

I do not know, allot of times when I code things I make a code that semi works, but isn't perfect or something that my clients wouldn't like as much. So when I export it over to the client version I re work things to make it something that the client will like better, but in the development process if I have something, or any kind of music in the background just to make sure it is streaming correctly, I could care less if its the right song or sounds different I don't need it to sound like the final product I just need to know that it works.

That could be just one of many reasons. That's what I do when I do coding not saying that's what SE does but it could be.

In game development, the dev version is usually different from the gold/rtm version of the game. There's a possibility they're using an older version or a version that they may incorporate at some point (they could be re-mixing the soundtrack and the dev version uses the in-progress works.)

or its this

As far as the difference between the tracks... they do sound different

mainly due to different post processing applied to each

Also in-game music is mixed and/or mastered differently than OST versions

The OST is mixed more like what we are used to on the radio whereas the in game version is mixed to be played along with the games sound FX

For this particular example... the OST version was compressed more to raise the overall volume while the in game version has more dynamic range

The same thing happened with Guitar Hero: Metallica and the Death magnetic CD
