sharke,
 
I focused on the bass.
 
And since the JazzyG was synth bass that was hard one.
 
The classical piece, for me, was hard..... just because.

No bass?
 
Weird. I had a 4/6 and the Jay Z piece got me too, but I do not listen for an instrument when listening to music, more often than not ... to me, even Jimi would not be that good if his "orchestrating" of his instrument was not right. And too many folks, specially in prog, take advantage of that and forget the orchestration of the piece ... while I like Dream Theater, I find this the weakest part of their work ... it has to have the flash moments, and it dilutes the music.
 
That's how I see it more often than not. It was the same type of comments I made to Bapu years ago, about how I heard the first CHB piece.

Well, I just confirmed why my entire library is done at 192 kbps and why I'm happy with it at that level. 

I'm gonna wait till tomorrow and listen in the mix room. Bet I don't even hear music playing. Just voices inside my head.

Maybe, but are those voices compressed or not? 
 

They are limited with a WAVES L1. I cannot detect any overs. But when they are speaking I can't distinguish what anyone else "on the outside world" is saying to me. As if that mattered. The message is always the same.


FLOSS!!! You Idiot!!!!

That was too easy.  Of course...DISCLAIMER...I was listening in the voiceover control room which is expertly monitored and treated.  So really not very fair.  It would've been much tougher on my office laptop or...gawd forbid...my crummy iPad.
 
PS: I also agree with Bit regarding JayZ.  Sheesh.
