Sweet Songs for Soundcheck?

Hey! I do the soundcheck at a club and I love to quickly pop something on that really shows off the speakers. I’m wondering if any of you do the same and if you have any wicked tunes that would be great for rocking out for souncheck.

I personally like to you use…

Or the last part of this song…I mean it evens says “Let’s go ahead and test out the speakers” at 2:55

I’ve been doing the “splash test” with every new piece of audio equipment since this track came out.

or

Are two of my personal favs lotsa frequency range in use on her majesty’s secret service makes for a great rig demo.

4

WHAT A TUNE!!! Sasha - Expander!!! absolute class!!

5

To determine how much we can push levels of the mixer etc i normally tend to use:

Steve Angello - Teasing Mr Charlie for the heavy bass and for other things sometimes Afrojack - Take over control.

Great Tunes guys! Keep em coming! :slight_smile:

Well produced, clean and deep. Perfect tester. Ive been using it for years.
Would suggest getting the disc or a good copy as the you tube file has some nasty artifacts hanging around the bass notes

Usually this:

Mainly because it’s the first tune in my collection alphabetically, but it also has great bass.

pick something you know really well, preferably with big changes in dynamics and frequency content. And be aware that some clubs have rotten resonances, one club i play cant have Christina Aguilera’s “aint no other man” the bass note just causes the room to resonate. Repitching the entire track could solve it but i’m inclined to just not play the track.

I like these two for checks

I always thought I was an atheist, but this might just be proof that there is a god.

???

god has given you a room where C.A. makes every surface vibrate and you’re happy?

you make me sick!!!

the club hasn’t a policy on it, i just made a mental note after playing it for DA LADIEZ!!!

12

I’m sorry if I caused you to vomit. Can I pass you a handkerchief to wipe your mouth?

13

i chat so much sh*t that no one will notice a little puke

14

My ringtone :slight_smile: has been since it was released its the only song I can hear

15

I Need A Dollar (Pristine Busters Remix) - Aloe Blacc

incredibly chill house vibe/ starting beat imo

I’m really digging the “splash” test. I like the variety that I’m seeing with all these tunes. nice!
