Just cause you drive a Subaru doesn't mean you gotta be
super-rude!
The reason this thread has come up 1000 times is cause it's a fun topic! Besides in your imaginary dream world where every SQ topic only gets ONE thread, this forum would have no new threads aside from the OT and classifieds.
Give it a rest!

My favorite reference tracks are:

Red Hot Chilli Peppers- Apache Rose Peacock (mid bass and lots of it)

B.B. King- Ain't That Just Like a Woman (great song I'm familiar with)

Bass Mekanik- Tocata in B (lots of highs and very low bass)

Led Zeppelin- Moby Dick (4 min. drum solo)

What exactly does what I drive have ANYTHING to do with this ???

Word play... I dunno.

Thought maybe it had something to do with smugness kinda like people who own a Prius or Smartcar. Pretentious much?

 

[FartinInTheTub]

Yup... No need to be sarcastic. It's like being in school and asking a question and someone saying "WTF!!??? Don't you ****ing know this?? God! You're an idiot!" lol. Really doesn't help the guy. I like you Aaron but sometimes you attack people for no reason. Give the guy a break.

Are you off your meds again?

EDIT: To keep this relevant... Anything off of Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon or Echoes on Meddle is what I use.

Perfect Circle is pretty good, I totally forgot about them.

Led Zeppelin is great, Robert Plants vocals are sometimes hard to reproduce on a ****ty system

I agree. I feel the same way about Chino's vocals (Deftones). I was just discussing this with another member the other day; the only time that I ever feel like my highs are too bright is when Chino just lets it rip. That guy has got some pipes. I wouldn't necessarily compare him to Plant, but getting the upper end of the range is a trait that they share.

jajajajajaja!!!!, that's like catching someone misplace a book at the library, then yelling at them for misplacing it and knocking the entire book shelf over in a rage...niceoneqawkface! :laugh:

 

[FairladyZ]

OK....We are talking old school SQ here (240Z TURBO)...but I always like to hit em with FLIM and the BB's TRICYCLE. Track 3 is called "Lunch Hour Wedding March"....Anyone that was there when SQ became SQ will understand!

I'm not an admin, but Knowntoactbad and cumf@ce, both of you play nice. Where this racing for titles came in at from car audio, IDK. To me that's someone who thinks they have a faster car (and they might) but is stating it to make up for a lack of something.....

Aaron, I agree with the tub, you jump the gun to much sometimes on people. This question doesn't warrant a search to me for the simple fact that new music comes out all the time and is constantly changing. Therefore new SQ material.

I dont have a fast car but stupid posts like that get responded to by stupid posts. I asked a simple casual question about some SQ material that I might not have known was out and you get some idiots that cant seem to function in life without putting someone else down and whatnot so that to me seems like someone is trying to make up for something.

 

[Mr_Knwn2ActBad]

Anyways back to the topic at hand......

 

[Wesayso]

There have been a million threads on this, but why not...


I like to use a mix of a bunch of different types of music. One that I like to use is a metal band called Ayreon. Their songs are long and have a lot of different influences / styles to them. "Amazing Flight" is one of many great songs of theirs that I have used for this purpose.

On a semi-related note - Emerson, Lake and Palmer is one of Ayreon's influences to the point that parts of some of their songs sound EXACTLY like ELP - and ELP itself is a great sound quality test band. For example, Karn Evil 9: 3rd Impression.

Good to see Ayreon noted outside our small country. I love the album "Into the Electric Castle". I's pretty much a one man band (Arjan Lucassen) with lots of guest mucisians.

To add to this thread, I like to listen to older songs like "Golden Years" from Bowie, Witchy Woman from the Eagles, "Victor should have been a Jazz Mucisian" by Grace Jones, "Summer in the City" cover from Joe Cocker, "Wild Horses" from Gino Vanelli, "The Pro's and Cons of Hitch Hiking" from Roger Waters, "School" and "Dreamer" from Supertramp...

Songs other people recommended me where "The Race" from Yello (fun song with all the different drums), "The Ipcress File" by John Barry (very Dynamic)...

Oh yeah, check out Africa from Toto and see if you can hear the laughter in the first few seconds .

 

[Bruno Sardine]

Lol... I've actually noticed that that's a pretty good song for tuning. I've used that and "Rosanna" a few times. There's quite a bit of 80s stuff that seems to work pretty well. Talking Heads, Tears for Fears, Echo and the Bunnymen, Joe Jackson, to name a few. I just have to do it away from people so they don't hear what I'm listening to.

 

[dragonrage]

Oh, yeah, Africa and Rosanna are also choices of mine. Forgot to include them. Love those songs and they sound amazing on a good system. I like Bruno's choices as well. Talking Heads - Once in a Lifetime is pretty good.

k, this is the "no question is dumb" section, so even if someone asks about something that has links to it on the first page of other sections, all the extra is unnecessary.

on sq tracks, start with music you know really well, stuff you've listened tobfor years. just don't use an mp3 copy, get the original disc.

after that, look for new stuff in genres you like, and try to find different things to bring out different aspects of your stereo.

search this forum and the sq technical forum for "sq songs" and you'll have plenty of suggestions.

Yea most of the stuff i dont have a disc for i usually download it but keep it in WAV format or iTunes lossless, its close as you can get without having the "actual" cd.

 

[sqcomp]

Madonna's Rain certainly surprised me...

It's 9:30 am, I'm sitting in the car in the garage, I burned the song to a WAV file, plug it in, skip down the menu to the file then the track listing. Nestle myself in the seat and press the button to play.

Oh my! Tickle me where? Where the hell did that bass come from?

I can just see my wife sitting on the couch as I come back from the garage, her saying sarcastically, "can you hear it enough?"
