Driving Sounds New Content Alert!

Home Sweet Home

Howdy Club Members. Welcome to our new look monthly newsletter. We do hope you will all continue to stick with us. As you will have noticed (hopefully), we have a new website. This allows us to quickly upload new magazine content. We have no plans to go to print any time soon and so this feature means we can share new stuff with you quickly, digitally and free of charge(ly). We intend to release at least one new article per month.

Carry on reading to find this month's article, which of course, you get to hear about before anyone else!

Hidden track? We have gone back to properly hiding it. The picture of the hairy's above could be a bit of a clue as to its location though!

You can read an analysis of the track and how it performed in this month's feature article, which you can download for free, below.

Take Me To The Answer

This month's Top Five came from Colin and Andrea, whose car is the star of our featured article.

Money for Nothing - Dire Straits

White Wedding - Billy Idol

Eye of the Tiger - Survivor

Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

Levels - Avicii

Why not send us five tunes that you have enjoyed in your car recently? They don't need to be lifetime faves, just tracks that have got you nodding your heads!

Send them through to: My Top Five

If you have an upgrade in your car, let us know all about that too!

We really enjoy listening to music in cars. We also enjoy reporting what we can hear in a track. This is because it helps our readers to assess their own cars and whether or not the system they have allows them to hear what we hear. Of course, not every car we listen to is the best that we have heard. We listen to cars with all kinds of levels of equipment and installation. We are also faced with different renderings and mixes depending on the medium

This month's feature article is a case in point. The Lynyrd Skynyrd track we reviewed was played from a WMA file on a USB stick (source unknown) through a standard head unit to the upgraded system. The link we have used in this newsletter is to a YouTube rendering and it sounds quite different. We would rather point you at a good quality stream but not everyone has Qobuz or Tidal, our streaming services of choice, but You Tube is available to just about everyone.

We often check our reference points on different renderings to ensure that our perceptions are repeatable/recognisable. We hope we succeed more than we fail and we further hope that you all get some value from these reviews.

By the time you receive the July Driving Sounds Club Newsletter, we should all be moving around without restrictions. Hopefully, we can all return to the lives we had before the first lockdown.

In the meantime, do take Care
