Voicing.

So, started a thread on music from the heart - how about some music from the test bench?

I'll start with one...

"Simple Love" - Alison Krause

S7910

"Miserere" - Allegri

Mzisserson

"Fanfare for the Common Man" - Copland 100 Reference Recordings RR-93

Test music I hate but has redeeming sonic value:
Anything by Mumford and Sons,
Groovin Young Rascals,
Adele, 19
Frank Sinatra, New York

Probably a few more I regret buying...

One of the most challenging tracks I've listened to lately is something I discovered from the opening of a podcast I listen to: Bo En - Miss You. Its a clean layered techno track with a lot of detail if your system can resolve it. Thats all I got, I'm out. Stay frosty internet peeps.

I use a lot of piano, acoustic jazz sets, and demos from previous diys. I will listen to them on my Intrepids or Armonicos first as a comparison. Then exclusively on whatever I am building. At that point, I stop measurements as well. 

One of the first tracks I use is Phil Collins-In the Air Tonight. Vocal heavy stuff (my cousins jazz band is usually in there), Muse, violin, and a lot of stuff i actually don't like but has great detail and certain nuances that forces me to listen more intensely. 

jhollander

+1 on the piano and violin, stand up bass is also good.  Phil Collins is in my love to hate category similar to above.

Iowa 2014 demo is still on the top of my list, however Lenny Kravitz still sounds like crap on all my speakers.

There are tons of well recorded tracks that allow for testing, but also for pure enjoyment.
Some of my favorites to do both . . .

Infected Mushroom - Avratz
Ray LaMontagne - You Can Bring Me Flowers
Elton John - Madman Across the Water
Melody Gardot - Your Heart Is as Black as Night
John Powell (How to Train Your Dragon 2) - Dragon Racing
Eric Wittacre (Polyphony) - Sleep
Norah Jones - In the Morning
Stevie Ray Vaughn - Tin Pan Alley (Studio Version)
From "This is K2 Sound!" - Symphonic Dances/No.1 Non Allegro
City Rhythm Orchestra - Senor Blues
Bela Fleck - Flight of the Cosmic Hippo
Robert Rodriguez - Grindhouse Blues

I'll stop there since I could go on for at least another few dozen

PSchumacher

They are HILARIOUS.  Gotta say my favorite skit of theirs is the one where he follows MLK's "I have a dream" speech.  What a riot.

D1PP1N

They are original too. There was a saxophone slit that was great too. I'll try to find it

Must be just me, but that is a choppy choppy choppy playback.

I actually didn't notice you could make it "collaborative" so y'all should be able to add stuff to it, now
