[Discussion Thread] Music and cubing

[Yuxuibbs]

when i do listen to music when i cube, its either coldplay or some songs that are related to NCIS (as in the two NCIS soundtracks and stuff)

 

[Igora]

LOL metal.

I am determined when I listen to this.

Lol Nu-metal

I am determined when I listen to this:

Note: no offense meant, I just really dislike nu-metal/core.

 

[maggotcuber]

I can't listen to music while I time my solves, it slows me down by a good 3-5 seconds =X

I listen to jazz, metal, and classical music

SKRILLEX

I tried cubing to skrillex once, but got too into it and threw my cube at the wall just as equinox
dropped lol

Music while Cubing

I usually tend to listen to music while doing cube.. Do you also do that?

Listening to music while cubing.. Is it better or worse?

 

[jeff081692]

I do mainly because music puts me in a good mood and I am willing to cube much longer if I am listening to music. The argument as to whether music is good or bad for your cubing depends though. It may be true that with no music you can fully concentrate your attention to the cube and possibly get better times but really if you did an average of 100 listening to music and an average of 100 with no music I don't think your average would get significantly better so you might as well do what makes you happy.

Just set my pb ao5 listening to music. Though I don't think it makes a difference for me.

 

[Ninja Storm]

I'll switch back and forth with listening to music. Sometimes I won't, sometimes I will. It doesn't really seem to make a difference, though. My 3x3 PB Single, Ao5, and Ao12 were without music, but my OH PB was.

 

[Cool Frog]

I listen to music while I cube, Even when doing BLD

 

[fastcubesolver]

It only makes a difference fo me for BLD. I haven't noticed a great difference for other puzzles. When I am listening to music, it's almost always Avenged Sevenfold, Rise Against, or Metallica.

 

[Cheese11]

Music makes me win.

 

[brandbest1]

I feel like music distracts me while cubing, so I never do it.

Off-Topic: My sig.

 

[JohnLaurain]

I sometimes listen to music when I cube, but only when I'm alone and I have no background noise. I usually listen to big band jazz like Count Basie, Mingus, or Buddy Rich.

 

[Daryl]

Any music help me to concentrate while cubing except for BLD, where the music will be distracting

 

[HelpCube]

Always listen to music while cubing, and 95% of the time it's dubstep. Dubba Jonny, Mantis, Arkasia, and Skeptiks are the best.
