Is there a CD available specifically used for tuning your system?

[grampi 10+ year member]

I've tried adjusting (setting EQ and crossover points) my systems in the past using music CDs, but because the sound is consatntly changing, and because every CD or sound source for that matter has a completely different sound, it's impossible to accurately tune your system in this fashion. What do you guys use to tune your systems? I obviously don't have a spectrum analyzer, but I would think there has got to be some type of a setup CD available specifically made for system tuning. What do the guys who compete use?

Is that the one that goes across the stage?

If so, when I talked to Andy Jones about that track he said it was no good. Something about the drums aren't in the same location the 2nd time it plays. Another couple reasons, too.

Yes. That's the one.

When I heard that accomplished at IASCA WF, I thought it was the greatest thing ever. I'd be interested to hear the complaints about it.

I have the autosound 2000 disc. I am not a big fan of it.

So what sounds do these CDs actually play, and are you able to use them to set the system up by ear? Do any of them come with instructions on how to use them?

yes

I found the autosounds 2000 instructions to be not so good. They do have a few tracks that are pretty helpful.
