Videos don't do well on Hacker News, but I encourage people to at least watch the first couple minutes of this one. The oscilloscope visual overlay is interesting and the editing is really good.

Also, given the topic (audio equalizers) there's no way it could have been a blog post.

It's pretty common for blog posts in this arena to just include samples that you click to play.

Videos are harder to watch at work since it's obvious they're not work related compared to blog posts.

Good point. The bandcamp link to Posy music is equally pleasant. Nice to find actual mellow music.

Ah but I’ll always make time for a Posy video

Also the hardware presented is just gorgeous.

I would hope mostly what doesn't do well is useless titles - like one word, or a pithy joke that makes sense only in retrospect. Unfortunately there is also that guidelines which discourages doing better.

Usually the subtitle is fine:

> A video about all forms of equalizers. From one-click bass buttons to advanced studio correction.

That can be reduced to:

"Equalizers: From bass buttons to advanced studio correction."

PS: I'd try to keep the original title too, but in this case it doesn't look nice

"EQ: Equalizers - From bass buttons to advanced studio correction."
