Hi,

Can 'insane' have a positive meaning, like 'it was insane = extraordinary, incredible, fantastic'?

This is the sentence: In this audition, everyone was insane, so I asked him to pull back.

Does 'insane' means just 'crazy' in this context, or could it be something positive? Could I say 'la audición fue una locura'?

Thanks!
Buenos días. I would guess that the word insane is being used in this particular sentence to mean something along the lines of crazy, out of control, completely mad, or any other descriptive word that would show mass confusion!
Thank you, solbrillante. Then, do you think 'la audición fue una locura' sounds good?
Yes, I think it gives the same description!
Yo diría <<en la audición todo el mundo estaba loco>>. <<Insane>> no es adjetivo de <<audition>>, en esta frase, sino de <<everyone>>.

I've found this sentence in which "insane" is positive for sure: "The insane benefits of fasting & foods. ¡You need to stop eating!
I'd translate it as «the incredible benefits of fasting...».
Am I right?
Thank you in advance
