Post by: qazser on April 01, 2016, 02:42:45 pm
Been listening to heaps of movie/game soundtracks to stay focused, what are your go-to study music?

On Reddit, common suggestions:

Anything uploaded by HDSounDI (I suggest just going through their Popular Uploads)!

Otherwise it's Proximity!

I don't like listening to mainstream music because then I concentrate on the lyrics and not on my homework (:P) but instrumental tracks are too boring for me. That's why I prefer this playlist:

This.

But I'm probably more of a BBC or ABC radio (ie. no sick beats) man while I study :)

I just listen to random albums I haven't heard before straight through. That way I don't anticipate lyrics, and it doesn't mess with my concentration.

Currently listening to: Make Yourself by Incubus

I mainly listen to some chill old school rap - it really gets you in the mode...

I also listen to some vocal/melodic EDM, in other words, this.

Hi there,

The soundtrack to Hotline Miami 2 is very good to get pumped up to do work and is mostly instrumental, meaning you won't be as easily distracted. It is on spotify, though, so.... ;D

I was actually hoping you would post, #WeTheBestRadio :))

I mostly listen to:
All Jazz styles - John Coltrane, Raw Silk, Miles Davis
Gospel music - For King & country, capital kings, Casting Crowns, Royal tailor etc.
Rock - Breaking Benjiman, Downplay, Killswitch engage etc.
Some rap - (artists like Hoodie Allen, Logic and Em) and old school guys
70s,80s and 90s music - Bon Jovi, The Who, Survivor, Sly and the family stone, Marvin Gaye, Queen, Journey etc.

Pretty good variety actually

Edit: And some classical stuff. Gotta be reppin guys like Mozart and Beethoven. Their piano game too strong!! But I usually just stream this over spotify.

Lol, as an intense classical freak I could do Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Chopin, Rachmaninoff, Brahms, Dvorak and so on all day (this right now).  RainyMood is also great when I'm too emotional for music (because classical doesn't mean that meandering emotionless Mozart junk they always tell you :P).

For times I want something a little more modern (not often), I listen to Lindsey Stirling's Take Flight, Song of the Caged Bird or Transcendence (Orchestral) on 1.25 speed and on loop.
(Note: I don't usually listen from this genre, but she's an exception.)

Study music for me is electronic dance music (vocals preferred).

No matter my mood, listening to this type of music makes me happy.

Happy me = effective study!

Mozart's "emotionless meandering junk" happens to be what I play best Heidi  >:(

Nah but seriously, classical is great for study, Tchaikovsky is awesome, tbh don't like Beethoven much. Rainymood and classical at the same time is perfect :)

Ooooh. Another classical freak.

I'm a bit meh about some Mozart pieces but there are some pretty wicked Mozart pieces! Never heard Dvorak. Must google. Tchaikovsky's my go-to for study music or boredom or anything really. I <3 Tchaikovsky. Get weird looks from everyone who claim they always thought I'd be more Mozart (cuz y'know, apparently Mozart is the pinnacle of classical music  ::) ).

I second the Hotline Miami sound track - but I prefer the first Hotline Miami OST than the Hotline Miami 2 OST.
And other than the classical already mentioned, I enjoy Jake Chudnow. You might recognise his music from VSAUCE videos.

I tend to listen to whatever I'm into at the time, but quite often I'll listen to Spanish music rather than English. Spanish isn't my first language, so I can zone out of the lyrics, such that it doesn't distract me too much. +who doesn't love Shakira?

I admire all of you humans who have the ability to study with music- it would definitely make the process a lot more enjoyable.
I study in a closed door room with Zero Noise  :o

In my HSC I went through a massive Woodkid craze, fantastic artist!  ;D though I could never listen to music while doing intensive study, and if I'm sort of just chill studying, I usually prefer to pop on a good Podcast or Youtube video  ;D

This is too deep lol. Great music but I'd be studying then I'd be sidetracked by his course voice and mesmerising violins :P

I've heard baroque is very useful when studying and helps your concentration?
Title: Re: Your Go-To Study music
Post by: sweetiepi on July 06, 2016, 09:53:15 pm
I try to use classical (such as Ode to Joy)
But if it's really mundane 100% use 80's rock  8)

I've read this too! I believe the thinking is that the slower tempo is better, I know music with less BPM (Beats Per Minute) is generally better for concentration compared to something like this!

It is almost definitely better than listening to music, you'll be able to concentrate more for sure! But if you are like me, unless I am doing a past paper, I like to have a little something on in the background to keep me entertained  ;)
