eaglescorpio1 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 any SQ songs that you like for Demoing? from what I understand, and someone correct me if I am wrong, but eagles, hotel california, is good sq song. The first three drum strikes are three different frequencies. With a good sq system, you should be able to hear the difference in all three notes. That is what I was told. Have not tested it out on my system and I was told my setup is much more for sq than spl and I agree. My shite is sooo accurate, even with a double bass in some heavy metal, it is crisp and sooo punchy!!! Try out eagles. And someone steer him in the right direction if I am not!!! Quote Loud as f*ck, and sounds good doing it. Team built from here on out!!!! BIG things to come......... Missing link is the shite!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_01 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 try the albums "brothers in arms" or "sultans of swing" from dire straits!! it sounds very clear and the guitar is a dream especially the songs "brothers in arms" or "private investigation" are very good recordings!

ptcary Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) I'm likin The Cult, She sells sanctuary, and The Fixx, Red skies at night. But for real SQ, I would probably use some unheard of stuff that is really recorded well: Lauren Christy, Michael McDonald, or even that new Ashes Divide.

roscoe1129 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 The official usaci sound quality competition disc is what I use to set up the SQish vehicles Ive built, and what I always used for competition since its the one the judges use. It goes thru many steps to help you set up evaluate and tweak your system. It goes from channels to staging, image width/heigth, dynamics and sooooo much more. It also has a couple bass track at the end for the spl portion of testing. Oh yeah it has a live recording of Hotel California that absolutely kicks ass!

littleitaly1990 Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 Anything on Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here, or Dark Side of the Moon albums are great for a broad range of sq testing.
