So cool, Jupiter’s the favourite , the most memorable of all. It is indeed inspiring to see my fellow-countryman succeed that much working abroad.

Saturn is horrible, too simple, the ff are not powerful

[@DenZhdanovPianist]

I love when people judge dynamics by listening to the RECORDING, revealing their ignorance about the impact of microphones sensitivity, postproduction necessities, and their playback device on the listening experience.
I checked your channel, that was so much fun after reading this comment!😂
