Songs to test and tune amp and EQ.

What songs do you like to test the overall sound quality of your system, looking for a idea of a song to tune my amp. A song that would make clipping easy to spot.

These are useful when tuning your amp and setting crossover frequencies.

As for a song, pick one in the genre you typically listen to that has good highs and lows. Make sure the file quality is good though.
I like a lot of rock and heavy metal. I picked Bile - In league and Bile - Clones.

Damn that's not my style for sure XD
I might try different ranges of tones and confirm with a song after

For what you're doing, you are better off using music that you know very well that has a good range.
I listen to a variety of genres, so I play songs from most of them and adjust. There's a proper way to tune an audio system, but it requires some expensive equipment that not many people have.

I know using a digital multimeter (will refer as ddm) for a sub amp works fine (voltage reading with ohms law) , because it is tested at 50-60hz like the ddm is meant to be used with normal electrical house current. but for speakers, that are tested at like what, 100-1000hz for a midrange, the ddm is no longer precise. And then a oscilloscope needs to be used, and look for a flat spot on the wave sin curve. Sadly I don't have one yet, wanted to have one for a while now, useful as an engineering tool.

An oscilloscope is a great tool to have. What is even more useful for tuning an audio system is a real time spectrum analyzer. Of course, you would also need a parametric eq to fine tune everything to make sure everything is flat and even.

When you need that type of equipment, you no longer have the average audio setup
I'll use my ears for now
It's for them we do this after all don't we.

To return to main subject, I tend to like to use 80's and 90's song to do this, they got a lot a clean bass, various sounds range (using synthesizers) and some nice vocals too. it makes it quite easy to spot when something is not right.
