so with all these tunes u folks call...the only person who explained why he chose some of them was SR...why do u guys like these songs for SQ?

my personal favourites are:
Toto:
Rosanna (for the ghost notes on the snare drum)
Africa (for the cow bell in the original version on the far right)

Rush:
Show Don't Tell (for the roto-tom intro...but basically all Rush songs have very busy basslines that a good system should keep up with)

Sarah McLachlan (Mirrorball):
Sweet Surrender (pinch harmonics on the intro)
Fear (extreme left/right panning on the back-up vocals near end of intro and hi-hat tapping before the verse)
Posession (plenty to listen to there...esp two stick clicks before drum fill intro)

Sade:
Ordinary Love (lead vocal is dead centre and bass sounds 'bubbly' with the synth)
Cherish the Day (from the Lover's Live album...bass creeps in at the middle of the first verse...a proper EQ/XO setting won't get the fade from front stage to sub on the bass fill)
Pearls (voice/synth and EQ on her voice on the album can highlight the faults in ur high-mid settings)

Nirvana (Unplugged...entire album, Cobain's voice is dead centre and everything else pans out)

Roxette:
Listen to Your Heart (low bass note before the verse is easy to muddy up)

The Carpenters:
I Need to Be in Love (for the harp and flute on the intro)

Fourplay:
any song, any album...lots to listen to...very processed instruments but their percussion line is busy enough to keep u listening out for stuff

thas about all I can remember off the top of my head, but thas the bulk of it

i rip my own original cd's at wma 192kbps..... to me it really really clean. i cant yet tell the difference.. thing is you need to know where it came from... i only trust stuff i ripped myself.

~snYper~ · Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2005 3:59 pm Post subject:

^^ amm no matter what rate you rip a cd to convert to MP3 format, you WILL loose quality.

There are programs which claim to loose virtually no quality, but they are not stored in MP3 format Idea

adam_ant_tt · Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2005 8:56 pm Post subject:

i am aware of this, all is sayin is that the wma 192kb is reel damn good...
wma is WAY better than mp3 for a few reasons... one of them being that mp3's cut off the "inaudible" frequencies as part of their compression method... wma does not do this....
anyway until my system can differentiate, i using the 192 wma's Mr. Green

Hook · Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2005 10:35 pm Post subject:

mines can differentiate the 192 mp3's from original discs so even tho space is compromised, ripping at 256/320kb gives me a bit of both scenarios...better than 192kb but I can still store multiple albums on one disc...the VBR WMAs have their merits but...*sigh* y can't they invent a *.ape disc player jed?!

but still, nobody answered my question...why are these songs ur fav SQ tunes? u can't tell me (being much more serious SQ folks than myself and investing all this in ur system) and u posting up a song list because is "real bad tunes"...let's hear y u like these songs for SQ

godsmack, gypsy kings, steel pulse, - grrreat percussion
sting - i eh sure if is dem big ass violin thingy, but it sure sounds smooth
madonna - fantastic vocals. really good recording by maverick.
sade - vocals and percussion
celine - thats one singer whose voice can go real low and then hit some real high notes
mj- i feel maverick would have done a better job than epic with the mastering.
dire straits - mark knopfler is a boss. air studios, so sad to loose yuh. if you listen to the lyrics, its a bucnh of redneck but i can tell you, its sounds like big band music. tons of instruments, and very well recorded.
just got a copy of nina simone. - missisippi god damn, aunt sarah, sinnerman, powerful lyrics, her imaging seemed to move around a lot, but was always well defined wherever it was.

i think what we are getting at, is what you like about the songs.
the purpose of that is to engourage the people to critically listen to the music now, and look for the instruments and the quality of the recordings that you were overlooked before.

its a good idea that encourages awareness that something cant only sound "good" but now can be tonally accurate as well as be staged and iimaged properly.

and to do this, and i've seen international judges do this,..... is to close youre eyes when you listen. so that means dont listen when youre driving... when you close your eyes, only your ears are used to tell where the music is coming from. there are no distractions and you get a better listening experience.
try it.
