One of my action points from todays meeting was to find some music to replace those clips we currently use for testing.
“Keep the death metal song, but the rest can go…please”
Last time anyone let me do that my contribution was hirezs “Sack of Hammers (remix)”, which was never quite understood by anyone I worked with, but they used it for testing anyway. Indeed, it was quite an interesting piece for testing because of its range of unusual sounds, nice and challenging for a phone speaker.
The danger with the cutups I’m getting into right now (Negativland, Cassette Boy, etc) is that there is so much in the way of level shifts and poor cuts that we can’t tell which is the music and which is the software.
So, I suppose I’m soliciting for suggestions for appropriate pieces of music for testing audio software. Any ideas folks?
