[Discussion Thread] Music and cubing

[DGCubes]

Generally I have a YouTube video on one monitor and csTimer on the other.

When I do listen to music though (not just when cubing, but in general), I have a playlist of 50 or so songs on the music app on my phone. Basically it consists of a few dozen miscellaneous modern songs, seven Twenty One Pilots songs, six rap songs, and a few oldies (American Pie, Bohemian Rhapsody, and some Billy Joel stuff). If I want to listen to music when cubing I'll generally just pull up one of my favorite songs on YouTube and put it on loop. Right now the most likely candidate for that is an extremely underrated '90s rap song called Runnin' Off At Da Mouth. Loving that song.

This stuff is really fitting. Hard Techno. Not Techno, not Hardstyle, not Hard House. Hard Techno is a very specific genre from back in the early or mid 00's. Good times. Try it out, but beware. It's pretty hard.

Hey,

I'm looking to update my music for my YT channel and was wondering where I can find some free music?

Music that sounds like cubing music(idk what it's called) would be great!

Thanks.

I have a school project, doing a podcast about an interesting topic (and you can probably guess what topic i chose). So does anyone know any good cubing-related music?

This is the first thing that comes to me:

There is some other raps, but this is the best one imo.

Hey Everybody!

So I like to listen to music while I cube, but I'm curious if that is constructive to do during practice? I want to be efficient, so help is appreciated! Thanks!

I watch YouTube when I practice so... I don't really think it matters if you listen to music when you practice. For me, it kind it helps me to prepare for a competition because when you're in a comp it's not silent when you're solving, usually.

That's true. What do you watch?

Usually cubing videos. Reviews. Unboxings, that kind of videos. What do you listen to?

Usually Christian Contemporary Music (CCM), Instrumental EDM, Film Soundtracks, and a little bit of Country!

I've gotten many 3x3 PB singles while listening to a Harry Potter audiobook with earbuds.

This is an older bump, but looking to put together some playlists for working and cubing. Lately been listening to a lot of classical, Beethoven, Bach, etc. I've also played with white noise while focusing on deep work or something where I need to be super concentrated. Anyone else like to listen to classical music when cubing? Do you notice a difference on how you focus?

I sometimes listen to podcasts about technology on double speed while cubing. I don't think it changes my results and I would say that I still absorb most of the information from the podcast.
Just like with running I experience that if I start with listening to slow songs while warming up and then play high-energy/beats-per-minute songs while running/competing I get my best results.
Similarly while doing edge-pairing I often vocalize the colors of the next stickers and try to increase the speed of these vocalizations after the first 2 or 3 pairings even if my turning cannot keep up with my look-ahead

On that note, or perhaps for another thread, which podcasts are you listening to? Not often when cubing so much, but I typically listen to podcasts and audiobooks at 2x speed as well.

My main source for tech-podcasts is https://twit.tv/. They have a weekly show on Google, Apple and Microsoft, a general show and a fun show (and sometimes the specials or enterprise/security/law related ones). Because my work is mostly Microsoft related I also follow the podcasts from Windows Central and Brad Sams and I have followed Andrew Zarian for a long time. There is quite a bit of overlap between these podcasts but I like to here different perspectives. And this one is not a podcast but just some fun entertainment during lunch https://www.youtube.com/user/FrontPageTech (Also Mrwhosetheboss and Marques Brownlee)

Spastic hyper harsh chaotic noise, noise rock, punk, jazz, speedcore, and pretty much anything high-energy that I like. Actually sometimes I listen to some more ambient type stuff while I cube too. Actually anything that sounds good works for me.
