Five years later I’m here to leave this comment saying I am SO GLAD I’m not the only one. It actually makes me teary eyed when I see artists get so into what they’re singing. It shows it means just as much to them as it does to us as the listener. 💗

what backbeat mean?
@zimmeh30266 жыл бұрын
its about Ian drumming just a bit later than the actual beat. You can hear it at 2:15 . Its so epic, because he manages to be a bit behind but still hold the beat, and oh my does it sound good ^^.

The engineer for Tiny Desk is a surgeon when it come to sound. Low ceilings and the bookshelf behind them pull most of the additional noise out of the mix. The bookshelf is doing most of the absorption and diffusion. The rest of it is perfectly configured gates and compression by a seasoned engineer.
