Hi fellows!
Like many of you, I've recently purchased Ride and Burning Desire from iTunes, but after having given both songs a few spins I've come to acknowledge that both songs sounds muddy. I've played the songs with different sets of headphones, earphones, speakers and stereos and little does it help. As I can't exchange my ears for a new set, I forced my dad to listen to both songs and he concluded straight away that they sound bad quality-wise. So here is my question: Does anyone else notice this?
Also, the audio format is iTunes+ 256kbps and should be an acceptable format since I have various songs in this format that sounds fine.
Also also, when I say muddy I mean that the instruments kind of mix together in a very elephant way. When the chorus begins in Burning Desire it feels like an overweight bee headbutting into my ear drum, which is not the feeling I was expecting listening to a Lana Del Rey song...
Also also also, I found different download alternatives for the two tracks without luck, they sound just as awful. I'm starting to think it might be the production of the songs that are lazy. (Monicker, please?)
I hope you'll take your time to answer this question, cause I find it slightly frustrating, to be honest.
[Edit for
. Listen to it in maximum available quality 480p, I've done so and I think it sounds more defined, and the whipers during the verse are much more present.]
