It's about 59 downloadable (legal) WAV files that can be used to test audio equipment.
Info and files can be found at: http://www.binkster.net/extras.shtml#cd
Here's how the author, Michael "Bink" Knowles, presents his work:
"I was always unhappy working in live sound with the usual recording studio or home audio test CDs I've seen in the last 20 years so I made one of my own. I believe it is better suited than most for the Live Sound mixer to carry around.
Do you have a fast internet connection? You're in luck! you can download the Bink Audio Test CD from a server in Ireland. Here's the full collection of zipped WAV files -- this single download is 423 MB and will take anywhere from 40 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your speed."
You can also download individual files if you prefer.
When the download is complete, you can:
- unzip the files and burn a CD
- or save the unzipped files to a folder on you hard drive, if you use your PC as a transport
Please make sure to read carefully the "Using the Bink AudioTest CD" text file BEFORE playing the WAV files. Volume should be set very LOW at first because most of the WAV files are recorded at high volume and contain tones that could be destructive. You have been warned !!
Enjoy!
