It's from a line in a movie. Resivour dogs. is that how you spell it? I suck a spelling

He he... I'm so bad at remembering movies, I've seen that one :lol:

Thanks for all the replies. I see the point of setting up a console room and monitors using white/pink noise to make sure one is getting an even amount of all the hz and also adding it via a gate onto a snare or other (mostly percussive) instrument i would guess, is this the only relevance there is to recording?

Also is this something that is done often or just in some cases where a particular sound is required or if the snare recording is no good? Should i be experimenting with it or is it not that useful?

thanks much....
