Cymbals have some weirdness near the end, worse than 2. But singer's voice sounds much better than 3,
even though it seems more metallic.

1R Comment: The voice at the beginning of the sample has an unstable droning quality to it. There are some growling type sounds which also echo across the voice, in the background, along with a bit of a white noise type sound. Bit of stereo collapse, when the music kicks in it is too bright and noisy sounding. More growling noises in the background.

2L Comment: robotic and watery sounding voice. Cymbals sound the same way. Everything just sounds very sloppy in general. Muffled.

3R Comment: Sounds similar to sample 2. Voice at the beginning isn't quite as bad though. Very bad watery sounds right when music really kicks in. Sounds a bit worse than sample 2 then.
---------------------------------------
4L File: Waiting\Waiting_mp3pro.wav
4L Rating: 2.8
4L Comment: A little bit of random watery type sounds in the voice. Not nearly as bad as sample 2 or 3. Cymbals sloppy and a tad watery, but generally seem to be much more intact than sample 2 or 3. Since the voice at the beginning of the sample is probably the most acceptable of the bunch, and the cymbals seem a little better than sample 1 or 5 (less growling artifacts), this one is rated the best of the bunch.

5L Comment: Very similar to sample 1 in artifacts, except worse overall. Some of the artifacts are louder and there are more of them (particularly the growling sounds when the main music kicks in).

1R Comment: For the first 3/4, the original is clearly brighter, although the encoded file is
not very annoying or anything.. but when the drums kick in and it gets
heavy in the last 1/4 of the song.. ouch.. annoyingly distorted, and
crackles.

2R Comment: Hope I picked the right one here.. but I know I'm able to hear the difference
as ABX'ing it was pretty easy. There is slight distortion I can pick
out every here and there if I try hard, but listening to it casually I cannot
really hear it. But I feel that if I had a more trained ear, I would be
able to perceive it easier.

4L Comment: Stupid to ABX this. The original is clearly brighter, and in the heavy part, the
cymbals and whatever sound very muffled.

5L Comment: I don't know if I picked the right one here. In the ABX test, I had real difficulties,
but at times I THINK I was able to hear very slight differences.
Maybe both deserve 5.. but anyway, clearly the winner for my ears, whatever it
is. And I can't give a comment if both are 5 right? heh.
