[Discussion Thread] Music and cubing

[miniGOINGS]

I listen to the killers or 2pac.

The Killers = Alternative rock, post-punk revival, indie rock
Tupac = Hip hop

Anything in between?

have you tried classical remixes?
(like the metal/rock remix of Canon in D, the POP remix of Toccata and Fugue, etcetera)

That's an electronic remix of Mozart's The Magic Flute.

Actually, there's really not much in between those two for me, 2pac is the only rap I listen to.

lol darn! and yeah That's why i'm gonna try out some songs of differetn speeds. right now... DRAGONFORCE!!!!!!!!

 

[Zaxef]

My playlist while cubing consists of..

Pendulum
Eminem's new record
Random Trance
and Rise Against

I seem to do best while listening to Pendulum, I assume it's because there aren't really lyrics and it's just upbeat tempo

Yup, looks like you do, there are so many genres of music to choose from.

 

[calekewbs]

yeah. lol Maybe this might be too broad of a spectrum.

 

[miniGOINGS]

yeah. lol Maybe this might be too broad of a spectrum.

Thats what I'm thinking. Narrow down the types of music but increase the number of solves per genre, perhaps 20?

 

[calekewbs]

ok. well, I think I'll just start over with a new experiment. This time I'll plan it out XD and yeah I'll do more extensive averages.

Make sure that you are accounting for lucky and unlucky cases by excluding the best and worst 2 or 3 solves out of 20 or whatever.

 

[calekewbs]

yeah good point. lol will do.

 

[miniGOINGS]

yeah good point. lol will do.

I'm not trying to be mean or strict or anything, I'm just pointing out, from one cuber to another, what I would do.

 

[calekewbs]

of course! yeah that's exactly what i thought. lol hey. Check out the thread I put up on a new F2L alg. It's pretty beast.

It looks good, but I don't use Fridrich so F2L means almost nothing to me, sorry.

 

[calekewbs]

ahhh yeah i figured by your signature.

 

[Tortin]

Tyre Tracks and Broken Hearts - Bonnie Tyler. And if you can't finish an average of 5 in that time, Holding out for a Hero - Bonnie Tyler.

I listen to Bonnie Tyler and Billy Joel when I do big cubes. I get better times when they're playing.

the only way to make this consistent is you have to do the same scramble, but before you even start you have to get the scramble down good, other wise 1: you could get use to is 2: different scrambles = different difficulty. but i will love to see the results!
