Audio Compression Blind Test Phase 2

[Paddy]

What about Adagio for Strings?

*edit* found a link. I think it's legit

The quality is not great, but this choral version from the Homeworl Soundtrack sounds much nicer.

Oh, Graceland by Paul Simon, that's got some really good tracks too.

not at all, the original recording is fine, but what you are hearing is most likely a result of compression with insufficient bitrate, don't you agree ?



Afterall, this exactly what the test is about, isn't it ???

This is what the test WILL be about... this weekend (finally!)

Yes! "Under African Skies" will kill a lot of systems if played at sufficient volume.

Anyboy know the song "L'esperanza' by 'Sven Väth' ?
It is on one of the 3 CDs in Paul Van Dyk - Vorsprung Dyk Technik (Remixes 92-98).

On this song, there is noise in the sample 'pour l'esperanza'. Everytime that sample is played, you hear the noise start just a fraction of a second before till just after it... Weird that they haven't cleaned this...

Perhaps it is also something for the test?
