Why is Lorde royal on this thread?

And why are there balloons?

Which Lorde "Royals" video recording do you prefer the sound of, Tim?

You usually encourage threads to stay on track. This is/was a good one -- let's stay with power music and not turn this into vinyl vs digital vs Stenho happy pony tunes.

I’m unfamiliar with this “happy pony tunes” terminology? Is it a personal compliment? Groves was no help whatsoever. Google gave me this:IMG_0322.jpeg

And you? I have to say that Stenho's, despite sounding more hollow than the base recording, is clearly closer to the recording as heard through headphones than Peter's recording. In room who knows because I am pretty sure Stenho uses an aftermarket microphone and Peter is just using his phone and I think it is pretty clear from looking into these things that phone microphones over represent the effect of the room on the recording due to their omni-directional pattern. A directional mic works much better in most cases.
