i'd use a test cd but if you want a more subjective approach using songs...


violin + piano
that can usually be found with most any violin sonata.
common ones are Brahms Violing Sonata's in different keys.

i use the same few songs for different audio tests (car / computer / home theater etc).
for hip hop-type bass, i use Gone by Kanye West since it has a rolling bass line of two main bass notes. One is in the 30 range (approx) and the second down note is imo in the 20's. Good way to see if you can hit the lows.

I also like to use drum solos or intros to tune since a drumsets toms can be a surprisingly good source of range.
Dave Matthews Band - "Say Goodbye" has a sweet caribbean-feel drum intro that goes from 8-inch toms to 20-inch floor toms + bass drum.

for vocals, i'm partial to female voices but that's your call. I like looking for vocals+piano or vocals+acoustic guitar

when testing, I try to stay away from music w/ distortion guitars. Not because I don't like the music but it's not necessarily the best source to test clarity. BUT - to test limits of how loud the music can get in terms of the 'rocking-out-potential', i prefer guns and roses or the black crowes.

Aww man, don't give me that....
1st i've googled and most sites were MP3's like "....in x seconds there's a thone xxKhz high " OR they were xtremely low quality ( 96kbps )
2nd For the spelling; I know I could've made some spellingmistakes but none were that bad, right?
And i haven't got any english lessons in 3 years I am dutch speaking....
so plz a little mercy? I'm seriously starting to think you dislike me because 1) I ask a little to much ( obvious ) questions or 2) because I like sound and music but don't know anything technical....might be wrong though...PM me if so.

As for Stormshadow, TY v much...appreciated^^
