Test signal that kills all audio compressors

Reply #25
Just tested this with Monkey's Audio 3.96, with no problem.  It compressed fine to 60.03% of its original size, then decompressed to a bit-for-bit identical copy of the original.  It also played fine in Winamp.

RIAA might promote extensive use of killer samples in music to foil warez d00ds in the future.

hehe, if Aphex Twin reads this, he´ll start at once. You can be sure, man, this would be something like AFX´s dream, strange sound, making music, killing audiocompressors ... And if Aphex Twin doesn´t take his chance, Squarepusher will do, so take care

This sample is very difficult for me to listen to through headphones for more than a couple seconds; it makes me nauseous. Very strange. If someone put this in real music I would not be a huge fan!

WavPack's hybrid mode handles this fine at 320 kbps, BTW.

besides this sample being absolutely unrepresentative - as others have stated before - :

1) The zip file is 3KB, not the wav file (800+ KB).

2) Because some gaga artists like Aphex Twin might begin to use samples similar to this ... sounds cool for an intro huh?

3) well, just for fun
