Do you listen to music while playing Trainz?

[Truemac]

Call me weird, but I found a new genre to listen to while playing Trainz. That is Video Game Music!!!!

Actually, I've been doing that since 2006.

Now I'm back on Trainz after a gap a while back which was erm.... a DAY long :hehe: :hehe: !-I do listen to music while playing Trainz. I listen to a variety of stuff thru WMP11. From metal and rock, for example I have about 5 different versions of Smoke on the Water, each played by a different band. But I also have that coupled with a variety of Irish and Celtic music too , some Banjo and Fiddle Bluegrass music from Ireland and America, and several different versions of the beautiful classical song, Greensleeves (my favourite being the one played by the Transiberian Orchestra).
:wave: The musical side of James :wave:
(or at least some of it, since I play percussion and am looking to get on the ladder of musical famousness (if that's a word ) )
:wave: :wave:

[Amtrak72]

i love listening to songs from the 80s. (Weird Al, Heatwave, etc.) It helps when i'm buildin routes.

 

[PereMarquette1225fan]

ROCK ON!!!

While working on my own personal route, the BNSF Tramford Subdivision, I find that pop, R&B, jazz, fifties music, rock and roll, heavy metal rock and Metallica seem to help me power through the route building.

 

[Thad09]

I listen to Movie Themes, Blue Grass, Boston, Mumford & Sons, Videod game, and a little bit of everything except rap. I have weird taste so says my friends.

I have really acute hearing so I usually spend my time listening to the radiowaves produced by distant stars.

It does get quite boring.

 

[peghorse]

Anything that requires a degree of musical talent to produce, which eliminates most of the *coughs.. music of the last decade or so and what is heard on radio today. Plop music isn't it? :hehe:
I do like trance though. Especially with female vocalists is gooood.

 

[nugget2225]

quick fix

Straight from your computer, game system, or mp3 or stereo player? Even the radio will do.

It gets boring with no music so I usually pump up my iPod and jam while creating routes.Strangerly enough I tend to listen to disco and rap more when playing Trainz than during anything else.

fire up winamp before you start trainz and put a couple hundred songs in random the start your game lol, its a railroad simulator not a music box

 

[Firefighterdan]

I like to listen to the BNSF on a internet scanner. It is fun to run down the rails listening to live radio chat.

 

[SD45T-2]

I don't do it in Trainz, but I like to listen to WipEout HD Fury Music when reskining modern locomotives.

It started with AWVR 777 and 767 for MSTS.

I usually do listen to music when building routes or just playing Trainz. My favorite Genres seems to tend between when playing on Winamp are: And yes I gave a quite a long thought before posting this.

Warning! Nostalgic Bomb may go off during Video Game Sample Music
(Every one I listed has hyperlinks to different songs for examples of course except a few that isn't considered G rated, ye got to look it up ye-self.)​

(Not in the exact Order 1,3,4,2,5 all depends on my mood)​

1. Orchestra - Bach, Chopin, Erik Satire, Wagner, Zipang, UnknownWW2inColor Soundtracks and usually music from TV shows (Hogans Heroes) and movies (Steamboy, LOTR, Star Wars) that are orchestra, yet most of those come from Japanese Anime like Haruhi, Day of Sagittarius 3 *Making an MIDI version of this for my own personal use on Trainz*, Elfen Lied or (Hellsing Parent advise on this video part). Too many to list.
2. J-Pop - Vocaloid(Hatsune Mike/Rin Kagamine only), Broken English(Hellsing OVA 5), Strike Witches and Haruhi Suzumiya soundtracks too many to list, most comes from the Anime songs and old retro ones as well.
3. Video Game Music - WoW *Its scary haunting music*, Titanic Adventure Out Of *See where I like Chopin at* Time, Train-town, Resident Evil, Mario, Sonic, Metal Gear, Parappa The Rapper*Not really rap*, Um Jammer Lammy *I miss my brain*, Old School musics and the works. Also way to many to list but just a few for example.
4. Classic (not Screamo) Rock and Roll - Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, The Buggles, The Beatles, AC/DC (Advised), Don Felder, Riggs, Black Sabbath, all whats played on classic rock stations etc.
5. Others - Daft Punk, Nyan Cat, George Clinton and the goombas, WW2 Das Englandlied like songs etc., it all really depends on my mood what I'm creating and what I am playing on Trainz or any other game for that matter.

I have over 10,478 songs listed ATM on my Winamp, 85% I don't even know what it is. I try listen to anything but I just tend to stay away from Hip-hop/Rap, or any of the modern music. I'm a 1920s - 1990s man myself but with a few expections on the music today in Television shows like orchestra I'd considered it more a 1910s-2000s(so far) myself.

Long story short: I like many different kinds of music when playing except the 2 I listed and put hyperlinks to them all, if any is not G rated please let me know and I'll remove the hyperlink.​

I watch the boob toob while Gmaxing but my wife and I both enjoy classical music when I knock off for the day (better known as beer time for her and burbon and water time for me). I was in the band in jr high school, high school, collage, and even a US Coast Guard band for a while so I loved tooting my tuba. We have a baby grand in the living room and both of us play. Music is great (tho when the fat lady sings opera I think someone should shoot her to put her out of her misery, lol).

Thanks to youtube, i can listen to whatever the hell i want, while playing trainz, i usally listen to country music. But depending on the route i am making, i am listening to alot of different music, if i m doing an 180's railroad route, i listen to old music from that era, if i am doing a 1960's early disel route, i listen to music from then, if i am doing a bnsf route, which i am about to, i listen to anything from 2000 to now

 

[klambert]

When route building I find theres a lot of repetivity in it like when placing lamp posts, or adding station benches, so I like to listen to stuff like the clash for a decent rythm.
