Tuning a PA - what songs do you use as a reference?
For anyone that has anything to do with live sound, just curious as to what tracks you use when tuning your rig before the show?

I'll set up the stuff and run some of Steely Dan's Two Against Nature album through to dial in the highs and lows and then a little Yes 90125 for some punchy rock action.

Steely Dan's Two Against Nature Nice. I've been using a bit of Tom Petty lately and some of Keith Urban's latest tunes.

Barracuda doesn't have synths in it Magic Man, perhaps ?
