wagner Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I have a couple of projects I am going to be working and and want some input. Very simple question: What kind of music sounds the best on racing videos? Now we all have different tastes in music, so I personally avoid trying to use one extreme of the other (death metal, techno, shit rap music).

SRTurbo04 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 x2 on zerrrrrrooo but if you MUST use some suttle classical music but shut it off or way low when actually racing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ansonivan Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 +4, ambient sound. Oldie repost-astic but best use of ambient sound ever: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hmmm not the response I was expecting. I have used music in my videos to try and cover up the fucking dumb things people say. I did not use some cilps from Milan because of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 If you absolutely must add music, please mute or turn it almost all the way off when the engines are running. kthxbye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 x2 on zerrrrrrooo but if you MUST use some suttle classical music but shut it off or way low when actually racing... That is actually a good idea. Dependig on how the video is cut it can really have a good effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wagner Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I would use some when things are building up but actual racing I would shut it off or dull it down quite a bit. I have also wanted to start play with the music volume too in the background. It can be a good tool depending on where in the video you are at. The project I have in mind will actually need music to really set the tone. I think playing the song in the background will be a requirement, but it will be turned way down in certaint parts.

Kryptok Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 +1 for music then shut it off completely before racing or dim it down alot. Otherwise, just do not do music at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex L. Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Get a basic idea of what the video will be, then use your choice of music and build the video around the songs. When I was big into videography, I would sit on Youtube/iTunes until I found a song that fit what I'd visualized and then ran with it.

99BlownYellowGT Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Static X or Powerman 5000 in the background....something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJdidit1738 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Music is good in the background, its also good when its not to loud and it is mixed correctly. Watch johnquick302 test and tune video, it has a good song in the background Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dre2013 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 if its an f-body video, i think some bluegrass or some hank williams III would fit it perfectly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFKINPowerz Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 I like music through everything except the cars launching, turn it of when they are pre stagging or have it fade low so you can hear the cars and then bring it back in after they go through the traps. Also having the music shut off completely, long enough for a quck saying from someone or shit talking and then cut back in to music/racing. I like heavy stuff or rap though.

wagner Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 Thanks for bumping this thread. After playing with the gopro I do not like the sound levels with the case on and I will not be using an external mic. I will need to mix in music when using the gopro this year.

Not Brian Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 cool. Figure out a way to turn down the music levels when a races start and you're good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagner Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 cool. Figure out a way to turn down the music levels when a races start and you're good. With the software I want to buy I should have that ability.
