Rhapsodio Return Scorings

Average Tunign Grade

The tuning lacks refinement, jumping between dull and shouty without settling. Vocals frequently sound off-kilter.

Average Technical Grade

E-

Everything sounds flat and suffocated, with even elementary passages losing definition and energy. Expect little in the way of micro-details.

Mids C-

Expect adequate midrange presence with a touch of grit and unevenness. Textures smear when the mix gets busy.

Treble E-

Upper frequencies retreat, causing detail and brilliance to disappear. You may think your source is covered.

Dynamics E+

Subtle shifts disappear, with transients lacking bite or urgency. Drum hits arrive without conviction.

Soundstage C+

The image breathes a little, spacing instruments laterally while sketching a light sense of distance. Separation improves with cleaner recordings.
