Need help finding demo songs
Hi all!
I've been watching some interesting sound systems on YouTube, and they always play some kind of demo songs that show off the systems, but they never mention anything about what they're using to show off there systems. I'd like to find some of this music, but not being a listener of current rock music, or demo cds, are there any cds that you guys can recommend that will show off my system?
@sid42 nor sure what you mean by current rock music so I’ll include what I think sounds great. Dire Straits - On Every Street Eric Clapton - Slowhand Nils Lofgren - Acoustic Live Dave Brubeck - Time Out Steely Dan - Everything Must Go; Two Against Nature |
I put together 10-30 sec parts of songs I really enjoy into 1 mp3 file. I picked these passages because each highlight something I'm looking for in a system. The clicking sound in Elton John's Love Song, the synth grit on Kate Bush's Hounds of Love, bass extension on Billie Eilish's When the Party's Over...etc. |
Hi @sid42 , There are two places to easily find some great recommendations. They may also help you find recordings you already have to test with. Crucially within each link you'll find not just tracks but what they test! 1. What HiFi has a great resource here for tons of test tracks with different musical styles and even with certain artists. 2. PS Audio's Paul's Picks are worth looking at 2014 and 2020, there are also lots of interesting articles and information on the PS Audio website home page under the 'Discover' tab. ENJOY! |
