For a typical, non-live music sound check I used Ghost, or Dio. If it was a speaking sound check I used a JFK speech.
The only time I sent audio from the auditorium to the lobby, and thus the elevator was a live band or a speaking engagement. Otherwise it was filler music.
The elevator was really only used by staff, so thinking about putting music on in it was such an afterthought that it very rarely happened.
One early morning sound check during an event hosted by a coalition of Baptist schools I played Ghost’s He Is, and the head preacher was grooving to it. That was amusing. They did yell at me for doing a sound check with Dio’s Rainbow in the Dark, and Holy Diver. I firmly reminded them they were in the auditorium early, that the space was mine until their rental started.
Did you ever consider blasting some high energy beats like hardstyle, EDM, euro dance, or something like that?
