AUDIO EXAMPLES

You can either listen to these examples in the Java player, or you can download them. The Ogg Vorbis version was encoded with a quality setting of 3 and is meant for low data volume and transmission delays. For full quality, you can take the FLAC version.
Please note, that the Ogg Vorbis versions have been matched to appear at the same volume, so you can easily judge the dynamics. The FLAC versions on the other hand are full scale, just like they would appear on a CD. For an impartial comparison of these, you can use foobar2000 to do an ABX test. See free tools. The DR values are measured on the full track. These examples may differ slightly due to the selected section. Also the Ogg Vorbis compression may alter the value slightly.

Here are the examples for download: (depending on the browser's configuration, it may be necessary to right click on a file so that a menu with a download option appears.)


Here is a song from El Gordo. I did the CD mastering. The DR9 version was released on the album "Arbeiterklasse". The artist decided against the DR6 version in favor of a better dynamic. El Gordo - "Die schöne und das Biest":
DR9:	DR9:
DR6:	DR6:

Here is a song from Indecision. It's a demo which I mixed and mastered. I also did some timing corrections. Despite the band agrees that the more dynamic version is better, they decided for the DR8 version on the Myspace player. Indecision - "Soliloguy":
DR13:	DR13:
DR11:	DR11:
DR8:	DR8:

Here is a song from Eidetic. It's a song I mixed and mastered. Although, the band choosed a different mix for their released EP. Eidetic - "Erinnert ihr euch?":
DR11:	DR11:
DR9:	DR9:
DR6:	DR6:

The Java player may take a moment to load, be patient. In case, the player doesn't appear eventually, make sure you enabled javascript and you installed the java runtime plug-in. Or you may just download the examples on the left.

The player is available here: jlGui - MP3 Player Applet
And the skin is here: Classix 10k

For an ABX test, I suggest using foobar2000.

To play the downloaded examples, you need codecs for Ogg Vorbis and/or FLAC.

Alternatively, you may just install K-Lite Codec Pack, which gives you all comon codecs you usually need in one package.
