They have their ears painted on.
No, no and as I stated, the mix here was fine considering the circumstances. The Daltry scream sample on "Who Are You" was punched in about 6db too loud. Roger and Pete's voices were a little too loud and Pino's bass was a little down for The Who but there was no AutoTune or overuse of compression. Just bad, and I mean REALLY bad, sync issues leading to fooked up attempts to get it right that resulted in glitches, zipper artifacts and slowing down of the tempo. Perhaps these annoying things distracted me from other mix issues....

Thanks for the info on point of sync, Fletch.
