Re: What songs do you tune your PA with ?


I don't use any music to tune the PA.  Listening to music is the last part of my process.


I use a variety of music for different purposes and to expose different ''parts'' of the PA.


If I hear something I don't like, I try and see if there is anything I can do about it-or not.  Sometimes there is-sometimes not.


In no particular order-and I don't use the same things all the time.


Randy Travis-really brings out any ''honk'' in a system.


Allison Krauss-Percussive attacks of Bluegrass are good for hearing detail and seperation-smeared attacks/times etc


Janis Ian-Breaking Silence.  A well produced album with little processing and some great dynamics


AC-DC  With the ''openness of the music, you can hear room issues (reflections/reverb delay interference) in the spaces in the music.


Linn Recordings-Various Hi end test tunes my son got for me at the local Ferrari dealership (yeah-kinda odd  ) but they are well produced.


Various rock tracks for that almighty kick drum test.


Suzanne Vega-Toms Diner  Great solo vocal


I generally avoid live recordings and music that I am not familiar with-as I don't know how it is ''supposed'' to sound.
