Bryson Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 I particularly like the filtered drums at the beginning of Faint by Linkin Park for fooling the sound engineer into checking the bass bins are plugged in... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robloxley Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 There's one called Sound Check. Last time I looked it was still in Canford's special offer list at £5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jony*5 Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 After spending time demo'ing expensive hifi - and listening to hifi shop material I've decided that unless the album was recorded and mastered at top quality, it's going to give you a second rate sytem check. for this reason I use some of the above material plus: Michael Jackson: History (one of the world best production albums (or compilation of others)) George Michael: Older and last but not least POP Idle: the album (this is great with accoustic double bass, jaz drums, brass, strings,(full orchestra) and great recorded male and female vocals. It's amazing on how many possitive comments are made from an album that most poeple would never consider listening to, never mind buying J5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delicolor Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 It's a long time ago, but I used to use "I feel love" by Donna Summer. I was a Davy Doubledecks at the time, and it was the only vinyl that I had two identical copies of, owing to an accident with a Store Charge Card and a time machine.

sound_engineer Posted October 12, 2003 Share Posted October 12, 2003 personally I use anything that winds people up (particularly musicians) The Final Count Down By Euope is pretty good at that along with Gold By Spandau Ballet but if you want somethinga little heavier then Limp Bizkits second album is pretty good at rattling peoples brains, put it thru 30k and it'l knock ur socks off!
