I play with bw sounds off, even when I don't have any music. I feel I play better with upbeat music on though.

I listen to Hans Zimmer soundtracks while I play, but I don't claim that it makes me play better. I just enjoy the atmosphere it sets.

For what its worth, my macro goes from shit to acceptable when I listen to music while playing, and so does warming up with Osu! or whatever (I usually just leave Osu! on and start playing).

Yeah, I might have missed a DT sound or whatever, but my macro gets sooo much better its often worth it.

If youre listening to music it needs to be fast paced 100%, for me atleast it gets me moving fast and more rythmic listening to something like that. As well as music fromv arious highlight videos also helps

I usually play with just sound on during the game, as it helps in letting me know what is happening around the map. But, if I start to get bored or play UMS, I usually just load up some music.

Loool.

From some of the early replies, something tells me that the kind of people who play SC and visit this particular forum aren't the kind of people who are wired towards music in that way.

I also think they are rigid sort of people. For them there is a "right way" for everything and everyone and that way is their way. ^_^

Oh well, zerg rush.

Listening to music (and any other rituals) is a great idea if it brings you into the "zone" sooner and stronger. For that effect it improves focus. It should also keep you confident even when you're losing - silence broken by your units dying sucks.

Beyond this though, it is a distraction (your brain can only do so much at once). You are best off listening to something that doesn't get your mind thinking too much about lyrics, melody, or development.

Trance, "ethnic" beats, baroque music - all good choices. Metal is good when you're about to all in someone hard, or as liquipedia classifies: your mentality should be "aggression."

Well, playing fast-paced music makes people eat faster, so...

I guess something like that should work for apm?

I listen to outside music, but then again it sucks when a DT kills half your army and you can't hear it

Thank You for that post., yes, last.fm works i would think. Thank you for that suggestion for those outside of the US. Also, for those who listen to KPop, there isnt much to say about it, it all sounds the same to me... just get stuff like Epik High, Wondergirls and other stuff like that and choose your favorite music =D

It's funny I did what you did with pandora earlier this year. I had this 50 song playlist from song suggestions that I would rotate just for starcraft. However I'm on the fence about what's more effective:
-BW Music
-My Music
-No Music

I personally don't like no music because it's boring. I sometimes like listening to the BW music, but I would prefer the quick pace of the Terran music as opposed to the Protoss music. Sometimes my music drags (sometimes slow songs get into the playlist) or they outshine Aldaris and I miss key things (like building a robotics facility or templar archives).

Death metal always gets me in a mood to thrash people ^.^
Although lately playing with no music at all has been rather appealing, but I think that is just because I like to hear the probe noise over and over again while i spam hotkeys

Well if u like the Terran Music, then find the Soundtrack for it and add it to your playlist!
