First of all, many thanks for the link to Bink's Audio Test CD.
What I tune with depends on the show; if the only sound is SFX, then I'll use one of the SFX tracks. If it's mostly a specific genre or group, then I'll use that. If it's broader than that, these are tracks I use quite a
bit...
If it's bolded, it's because that
track is nothing but excellent for calibrating a
system.
Colin Hay - Overkill [Studio acoustic version]
(This
track is nice and dry, if you want to measure
reverb on vocals this is a great
track to do it on)
Keaton Simons - Everything
(Good for testing punchability of the subs, high-end clarity/intelligiblity)
Ben Folds - Rockin' The Suburbs
Ben Folds - Heist
Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Fortune Faded
Sting - Desert Rose
(These tracks
cover a wide range on the spectrum, plus they are really clean tracks to test intelligibility with)
The Cardigans ft. Tom Jones - Burning Down The House
Semisonic - Who's Stopping You
Supertramp - It's Raining Again
Linkin
Park - Bleed It Out
(Test intelligibility, high-mids, highs, but with low punches also)
Slagsmålsklubben - Smart Drag Mr. Christer
Slagsmålsklubben - Kom Igen Kommisarien
Slagsmålsklubben - Övningsköra
Slagsmålsklubben - Kasten Sten
(Test tone reproduction, full-spectrum punchability)
Fuel - Shimmer
Supertramp - Dreamer
Supertramp - Lady
Supertramp - Another Man's Woman (live)
Chris Cornell - Wave Goodbye
(General)
Kamelot - When the Lights Are Down
Kamelot - The Black Halo
Goo Goo Dolls - Big Machine
Creed - What If
(Crankability, full-spectrum tests, but with emphasis on lows and highs)
Kamelot - March of Mephisto
Metallica - Enter Sandman
Frou Frou - Close Up
Black Eyed Peas - Pump It
(Crankability, full spectrum with emphasis on high-end voice intelligibility/clairity)
Kamelot - Helena's Theme
Dave Matthews - The Best of What's Around
Creed - Stand Here With Me
(Surround-soundedness, full-spectrum)
Dave Matthews Band - What Would You Say
Duran Duran - Notorious
Ocean's Twelve OST - 7.29.04 The Day Of
(Surround-soundedness, high-mids, highs)
Now of course I don't use all of them, but I use them when I need them. So long as I have those with me I'm never at lack for good calibration material to combat whatever situations I may need to work in, solve, or be prepared for.
