Hi folks,
Looking for rig test tracks so if anyone has any recomendations for different genres itd be good, perhaps we could compile the ultimate rig test cd. My favourite all rounder at the minute is peter gabriel sledge hammer. Some of the lord of the rings stuff is good as well. |

Depends what you think makes a good test track, I would be much more interested to see transient response of a bass bin when driven with a complex signal and how a system deals with distortion in tracks more than low end extension which is irrelevant for most music but useful for home theatre, you wont have heard of it but I think a track by Phillip Thompson (Kiki/ILL) called Berzerkey would work quite well - its a breakbeat style, with samples from detuned metal and a nice sub bass rumble in the middle over a 16th note programmed hardcore kickdrum, I picked up his CD after hearing it in the Cyberdog clothes shop in Camden and it rules very hard.

I'm gonna do a list of my fav's
this could be good for all of us to put a list up.
Rog has some goodies, but i think he could do with some more.
try Grace Jones...SLAVE TO THE RYTHM. Ccan anyone remember that opening sound ....TIIIINNNNGGGGGGGGGGG? great to test your tops.
Normaly the first thing i chuck on is a bit of Clapton, that voice and guitar does the trick.
But just lately i've been putting on BOLLYWOOD MOVIE MUSIC their voices just do it for me.
And all the Indian instruments are lush.

system check by ed solo + brockie goes through all the sweeps, has 33hz, 50hz and 66hz tones, phase check then drops into some utterly disgusting drum bass - jeffrey cranked that over the 9bar stack at carnival and i think he may have loosened a few bowels . . .

But I can tell you he has some Joni Mitchell tracks.
It took him 25 years to collect that lot, do your own and impress us. Edited by mykey - 11 September 2007 at 11:40am |

There are a few test CD 's about one of which is the Alan Parsons CD. apart from music which we don't use, we use the guns and trains track to impress. There is a CD made by a HI FI brand called Usher This is for checking ultimate fidelity. So, no crazy exaggerated bass on this one. We have been playing THE SMURF for years both vinyl and cd. Excellent to show off dynamics and fidelity. The rest of our demo cat is too large to mention |

One of the vocal tracks used on the Stasys is Stacey Kent - What The World Needs Now. Might be worth buying one of her albums, very nice.

well, i think this is a very subjective matter... for testing i would use (in no particular order):
Depeche Mode - The sinner in me (from Playing the Angel album)
Depeche Mode - Precious (from Playing the Angel album)
Jack Johnson - Breakdown (from In Between Dreams album)
Jack Johnson - The three R's (from Curious George album)
Dire Straits - Money for nothing (from Brothers in Arms album)
Peter Gabriel - In your eyes (from Real World album)
Pink Floyd - Wish you where here (from Pulse album)
Pink Floyd - Comfortably numb (from Pulse album)
Pink Floyd - Run like hell (from Pulse album)
Beck - Elevator music (from The Information album)
AC/DC - Hells Bells (from Back to Black album)
Alan Parsons - Mammagamma '04 (from A Valid Path album)
Wagner - Ride of the Valkyries
OST from Gladiator movie
Vangelis - Mythodea album
and many more... but these would be fundamental...
cheers,
Matías
