A Living Prayer 3

A living Prayer

The reason I have been posting these is because There seems to be some harshness in Alison's voice when She starts singing loud in my favorite song. I've been trying to figure out what the problem is. And it could very well be my hearing.

A Living Prayer

The upper section of this graph is a classical piece the lower section is Ron Block & Alison's "A Living Prayer"

I inserted a line and the word "here" to mark where Alison sounds harsh to me.

To do this measurement I ran a CD player into a line level input on my sound card and then started the Spectrum Lab software..

Now, do I understand this correctly, that the amplitude graph shows peaking in both pieces of music but more so in Alison's song? And certainly where I notice a harsh sound? Couldn't this cause harshness?

Current project

I've been busy over HERE working on our churches sound system.

Plasma, wall mounted :)

Here's the new plasma TV and the shelving I built for our components.

LED POWER

I've got my nifty LED light in the background. Actualy it looks even cooler than it does in the picture. It has a remote control that will change colors, program color changes, dim and other stuff I haven't figured out yet. You can get one at http://www.ledpower.com/

Stands

I veneer the center section of the stands then add the tops and bottoms. I do this to get a decent edge between the two. I use the Duplicolor spray-on truckbed liner for the tops and bottoms giving them a matte black textured finish. The veneer will get a medium stain and polyureathane that will match the speakers.
