You still haven't shared these mystical settings on the board!

Ed singing like his life depended on it. Wasn't that in an early review? Rings true on a first listen with this leak.

Maybe Wotman held Ed at gunpoint while jumping up and down to tell Matt to play louder

Got 2 Give is a Springsteen song to my ears...good song if you don't think too hard about it.

Wreckage and GTG are my two low points on DM :?

Phil fucking Collins could be singing them and you wouldn’t spot a difference.

I’m proud of this album making it this long without a leak. Can’t wait read everyone’s reaction over the coming weeks.

Well...im talking two different things here:

my own preamp settings in my studio which doesn't apply since it, in part, takes into account the arrangement of the room and sound bouncing off walls, etc.

there there's the dinky little Spotify settings which I shared with stip. maybe he can post that screenshot I emailed him. nothing special. just where I keep my settings in that app, and I think it's a noticeable improvement from their default settings. you can't do this in Apple Music. you're locked into closing one of their defaults.

of course it's somewhat subjective. what sounds great to me could sound eh to you. but...last night was garbage. tin fucking can.

TO ALL THE NEW RM POSTERS,

Yes, we will share the link, no worries. :bammer:

But please consider participating in the board moving forward in the other threads.

We have a strong, longtime crew but can always use more numbers. We need to grow to survive.

Scared of Fear is a great opener.
