Default Test CD

Good morning to all,

I would like to download a test CD from the net. I mean a CD with different
tracks for different frequencies to test my HI FI installation. Do you know
a site for this ?
Tank you,
Alan

If you can get a copy of cooledit or similar audio sound software, you
could create
your own wav files that can be burned to a CD-R. The program would
create the
digital sample values to generate a "perfect" (as close as 16 bits gets
you) sine or
whatever wave you want, by math calculations.

I think Fred used to have some on his site.If the current state of
RAT hasn't scared him away,he'll be around eventually. I just found a
dir of sound files I had saved.I also have a cd around (somewhere?)
with a sine wave on each track,a few tracks of white,pink
noise,etc,etc.. If I can find it I'll rip it.

If you look on Kazaa,Napster,whatever, you can search for "THX" or
"BASS" and you'll get lots of sines,and noise files,and those cool THX
sound files. pretty handy ;-) I downloaded a whole bunch of sinewaves
from like 18HZ,up to about 100HZ. useful for testing,and setting
subwoofer levels.(If your sound card can handle anything below 40hz?)

** You really need to buy a CD with the appropriate tracks.

A good one is the "Denon Audio Technical CD" # 38-C39 -7147

This has sine waves at various frequencies and many other things - 99
tracks in all.

Best of all it has pink noise in octave and 1/3 octave bands for in-room
speaker testing.

Available from several web sites like Amazon and not expensive.

Fred, Turner and some other great RATs left mainly because Phil Allison who
has the audacity to post an answer in this thread. If you want to know why
this world is in the state that it is, you need to look no further than that
unfortunately and obviously demented, lost soul.

A rare library entry. Thanks Phil

I've seen a CD on Ebay called "Audio QuickTest" that has a Windows interface
that allows you to program any sine wave frequency from 5 Hz to 20 KHz, pink
noise, white noise, sweeps bursts, etc. It even has a number of musical
instrument voices (acoustic guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, piano,
fiddle, drums, etc.) available for testing. Seems to be a pretty
full-featured program.
I haven't bought one, but am thinking this may be a good tool to have
around. Saves having to buy several pieces of expensive equipment.
There's one on Ebay right now at
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ategory=15 04,
opening bid set at $19.98 USD, 'Buy Now" price is $25.00 USD.
(No, I'm not the seller)
