Test music suguestions

[Bazz1111]

I thought it might be nice to get some suggestions on what other people use to test their subs.
Not looking for any problems with royalty or copy write issues.
just suggestions for some cool music we can purchase or acquire legally.
I know there are those few go to songs we each listen to.
Ive had to use my epicenter to get that big low end on allot of stuff.
Any and all types welcome.
today I'm listening to:
-Joyful noise by the Derek Trucks band.
-Renegades of funk by Rage.
-Cant find my way home . Clapton ,Winwood
-Streamline woman , Gov't Mule


What are you listening to?

If you play a good recording of the 1812 overture it will really test the transient response of the low frequency drivers.

 

[Bazz1111]

Thanks, I'll give that a go.

Iron-clad sub tightness test: Dire Straits, Money for Nothing. There may be a lot that goes deeper (much deeper), but that track will sure tell you when you've got the PA dialed in correctly.

 

[BWRX]

Be careful if you get a recording with a lot of sub-20Hz content and your system doesn't have high pass filter. You could easily damage a subwoofer.

 

[Bazz1111]

Yeah, re. 1812 overature. What better than an actual recording of cannon fire to test transient response

I use this one, though I prefer sultans of swing for dialing in the mids.

Bela fleck and the flecktones flight of the cosmic hippo is classic test track for victor Wooten's low bass notes
Mickey hart endless river and psychopomp are two great tests of a sub and system

Any of those not thoroughly cooked by the engineer or producer?

I was reading Plato's Cave parable from The Republic this afternoon. That's why I ask.

[Bazz1111]

Quite a nice variety. I went through and listened to most. Thank you. I like the way you provided a super convenient link for instant access. Very cool.
Look forward to checking out the ones I missed.

 

[Samps]

Surprised nobody mentioned "Bass I Love You"

Unless that is one of those that we are assuming was already on the list.

With no HPF it will ruin your day.

 

[Bazz1111]

My day is already ruined. I will check it out. Thanks

"Bass I Love You" drops in octaves down to 8 Hz IIRC...
