-- SOUND & PRODUCTION NOTES --
- Recorded on the Sound Devices MixPre 6 II in 32-bit float: https://geni.us/hJiGm1
- 3Dio FS Pro II Binaural Microphone: https://geni.us/WhtA5
- All audio was put into Final Cut Pro, changed to the "stereo" pan setting, and adjusted to match decibel levels for each song or situation. The Galaxy Buds Pro is louder.

Song notes:
- Bloodstream: the GBP has a wider stereo spread. hi-hat can be a bit harsh. The APP are easier on the ears but a bit scooped
- Liminal Animal: the GBP sounds warmer and less sterile. The stereo spread feels more full, but the APP does sound "cleaner" which can help certain notes come out in that stereo spread
- Ballin: The hi-end really hurts for me on the GBP and the APP feels more enjoyable
- Gimmie, Gimmie: The GBP sounds like a better fit for this style with its warmth and midrange. The Midrange on the APP is kind of weird
- My Reason: the most obvious track for hearing the mid-range difference
- Autumn's Song: Both can work depending on what you want. The GBP have that warm woody sound that is nice while the APP sound really clean
- Get Away: The bass guitar is so much better on the GBP because the midrange wasn't cut out. You hear that satisfying growl that is so important for songs like this. It gets buried on the APP
- Flight: I get chills when listening to this song on the GBP and find it to be kind of lifeless on the APP
- No More: Tup taste and mood. low end is different on each
- Hey Marjorie: benefits from having a midrange. Take it out and you lose that fun energy on this track (APP)
- Photograph: The GBP sounds full and natural while the APP sounds synthy and fake
- Tides: The sub on the GBP is tighter and focused a bit higher than the APP. The APP goes for lower sub boosts or sub frequencies
- I am Unbreakable: low-end tightness is clearest on this one. the APP can get a bit unwieldy bc of the sub frequencies going wild.
- It would be You: sounds great on both.Track is designed to be more in the middle wo/ tons of low-end or top
