    Unironic compliment:
    That main singer has a Damn epic stance to the point where I feel like he studied that.
    Objectively he’s relatively scrawny, but the way he stands, tilts his head, points, and frames the shot he looks genuinely imposing and/or inspiring (depending on his intent). His head down, legs apart, being lit and shot from underneath radiates a lot of genuine power that make me genuinely respect his image.

      Honestly, I feel that Louis is so technical that I wouldn't be surprised if he was that detailed. Being a multi-instrumentalist must help because his dancing indicates he does have a certain degree of body spatial awareness. Dancers who are shorter or taller often have to adjust their form to match average size dancers because body proportions can vary and some dancers have to move a little more/less to line up their moves with everyone.

      The whole album is a massive step up production wise from their previous albums. The youtube version isn’t even as loud from an RMS viewpoint as the album version, but that does let some of the instrumentation stand out better in the mix instead of being lost in the master

      @travisgodfrey-evans2182 ปีที่แล้ว +42

      @@aaronschilling1815 A good rule of thumb with checking if your masters are good is to ask yourself if you want to turn it up, and if you want to turn it down once it's loud, then you gotta identify the issue. A master is in that perfect space when you just want to keep cranking it because it sounds better and better.
      Of course, some of those issues can stem from the mix, but that's a given, I mean, since we're all talking about sound engineering I imagine we all know that
