Speaking of trance, I am completely amazed on how it makes me. If I put on trance when programming, speed goes up a 100% and i get much more focused (or else the background tasks i do just speed up a huge deal).

Amazing. And I am not really that good at concentrating, but when listening to trance it goes blop


why do i say this now? At the company, working on a little tool to output pdf's for mailing to customers (making a good looking pdf from some data) and just put up DI.FM Trance.. Just realized how quick i was to spot through the code hehe

You fool.

To fool or not to fool

Actually, its a true story

As of Monday, the CD single "Baby Baby (Luvya Girl)" has rocketed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 on its debut week, despite the fact no one has claimed credit for singing, composing, or producing it.

The wispy whine of the female's voice sounded a bit like Britney Spears doing a comeback attempt—the tune certainly seemed up her alley—but she sounded black, so then I considered that 'Milkshake' girl. But really, I can't tell. I'd bet the guy's not R. Kelly, but then again, I've worked in this business for 15 years and I'm still not sure what he sounds like."

Trance or electronica type music allows the listener to concentrate better because it has a steady pulsating type beat and no lyrics to distract.
Well thats my opinion anyway.
Symphonic type music in the background is non distracting too.

Its not just your opinion, its the answer

Except for one thing. Trance. Surely the beats yes. But the melodies.
The uplifting trance melodies. But yes apart from that, the steady 4x4 beats are surely the reason.

Trance might have lyrics, though. But if used as an instrument, and compressed with the rest of the track it will just add (not feed the lyrics to a sidechain, but compressed compressed), it will blend in.

Symphonic music might be non distracting, but surely does not have the same effect on me as anthem trance

Not into symphony myself but some people I know have it in the background when they work.
Have not listened to a lot of trance, I think the lyrics are used more as an instrument rather than being the main focal point of the song. I get distracted by songs with focus on the singer, but have no problem with lead lines produced by instruments and sounds.
Talking about that song, I wonder if it was computer generated, type of artificial intelligence.
And I wonder who is going to start claiming money for it.
I can see it coming, half a million people claiming it to be theirs.

Have you seen this site. http://www.freesoundeditor.com

FYI, The Onion is a "FAKE" news site.

Thanks for that.
That explains all then. :roll:

The onion is perhaps the best site for fake news ever made. GREAT stuff

about the program: I think i saw it a while ago. havent' really tested it, though

There is some other interesting stuff on there too for muso types.

Okay, the start of my personal definitive "these people made a real change" list:

1: Robert Leroy Johnson (naw's lead)
2: The Beatles

The start, but not the finish of it, I still have to chase a few dozen groups and individuals down.

Lots of interesting paths and byways. Lots of things evolved from various situations and grew from folk stuff, like gospel in the southern states. African influence in American music and thus world music is major!

Strangely, I haven't tracked down anything that is distinctly Asian but exploded in an international sense.

I also took a detour or two, eg, to see how "crooning" started (Frank Sinatra et al) but haven't tracked that yet.


It's like traumatic suggested, so many fuzzy areas that this is just about impossible. But it is fun and there are some folk made a major impact.

number 1? barely heard of him

I hadn't until naw's post.

But followed up on him and I reckon he's made a major impact.

Still going. Haven't got to kraftwerk yet.

Edit:

BTW, #1, #2 etc is not how I am prioritising them. Just based on era.
