Which type of music do you listen to while playing a sub sim

[Canovaro]

I play the grammophone tracks ;)

[Huskalar]

For me the GWX grammophone tracks plus some other WW2 songs.

[Space Cowboy]

I copied all of the 688(i) music and converted to ogg vorbis. I loop it on the gramophone. Cold War sub music for a WWII sim might sound weird at first, but it fits great!

[FIREWALL]

Haveing Classic WWII subs naturally I listen to Classic Rock. :D :rock:

[Dau-U-42]

Trust me, the French (Piaf) or German (Dietrich) chansons of the era, although they sound horrible, are great! It's just the authentic atmosphere. :oops:

[d@rk51d3]

Ultimate Grammophone:rock:

[Kpt, Otto]

For me the GWX grammophone tracks plus some other WW2 songs.

Same here! :)

[frenema]

Beethoven or WWII songs. I wonder where those options went :doh:.

[Sailor Steve]

Period music only. If it's on my gramaphone it will be from 1900 through 1945.

Haveing Classic WWII subs naturally I listen to Classic Rock. :D :rock:
Pretty close - only 20 years too modern.:rotfl: Don't get me wrong, I grew up in the '50s and '60s; but it's just too new for me to play on a u-boat.

[fair_weather]

"It's a long way to Tipperary!" :arrgh!:

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

not lissening to the gramophone. i always have itunes runnign with various music.
the only things you wont find is (c)rap/hiphop and RMB :down:


i like music with whatever i do. and if i play the gramophone tracks and go to windows the music is gone till i go back to SH3. wich isnt funn. thats why i use itunes :up:

[headcase]

Mostly 30's and 40's jazz/ swing/ bigband. But throwin' 105 down range while Anders Osborne is "Trippin' in Montana" ain't to bad. :rock:

[Spruence M]

I forget who posted it, it was a long while ago.

Someone said:

"Just sank a freighter and put on AC/DC. My crew went while and asked me where I got my music. I said, Your captian is from the future, and it is good."

Something like that anway.

I've got enough going on with my 2 year old, I have to cram my game time and music time into 1 time.:cry:

[Morts]

my gramophone is loaded with sabaton:rock:

[desirableroasted]

I have lots of old Delta blues from the 20s and 30s... some early big band stuff... lots of Bach, Beethoven, Chopin, and while not "authentic" (most are from the mid 40s,and they would not have been available on wax) I have a lot of American old-time radio stuff... early Abbott and Costello, Great Gildersleeve. the Goldbergs. And lots of American war radio recordings from the old networks.

Lots of this stuff is available for little or nothing on the Net at "old time radio" sites; you can assemble a 12-hour gramaphone in just a weekend for $25 or less. It won't be 100% authentic -- most of the stuff out there is English or American -- but it helps with the immersion.

Lest I sound the purist, my boat goes into harbor with Led Zeppelin's Immigrant Song cranked up so high .....

[Jimbuna]

Now approaching 1000 tunes....varies....war era, classical, movie tracks :arrgh!:

[Kaleu. Jochen Mohr]

my gramophone is loaded with sabaton:rock:

and AC DC :yep:

[Morts]

[johnm]

Period music.

I've also got some wartime radio tracks.


If I feel adventurous, I sometime play Jazz tracks on another machine (being weird, I've got half a dozen old machines rather than a up-to-date games setup).

[Iron Budokan]

I listen to music from the period so that's why I voted "Other".

[Saldiray]

I prefer Das Boot Soundtrack. It really suits the long voyages in the Atlantic.

[Jimbuna]

Don't disagree with you.......but do yourself a favour and listen to the end title track off Crimson Tide :rock: :up:

[Brag]

I listen to the GWX track and plan to add some other period pieces

[Cezbor]

I listen to gramophone tracks and Lutzow II and III mods:up:

[Petsman]

GWX Grammophone.

[ReallyDedPoet]

Period music plus some famous speeches mixed in.


RDP

[Jimbuna]

I agree.

The worst one has gotta be the Chamberlain "peace in our time...." :p

The best IMO would either be Roosevelt "woken a sleeping giant...." or Churchill "never in the annals of human conflict....." :arrgh!:

[ReallyDedPoet]

My crew begs me all the time "Please herr kaleun, play the 'Yellow Submarine' one more time, please..."

So that's what I listen.. like I have a choice... :-?

[HunterICX]

My crew begs me all the time "Please herr kaleun, play the 'Yellow Submarine' one more time, please..."

Probally because you scared the crap out of them with Angela Gossow.....;)
and her songs in Arch Enemy

[Dowly]

WELL I AM THE KALEUN, I can do whatever I want! :smug:

[SmokinTep]

No music for me. I get into the other sounds, etc.

[Blacklight]

Period music only for me. I AM however getting tired of that song that goes "All over the place... he's all over the place.." It seems to come up every time I start that damn gramaphone regardless wether or not I have SH3 Commander set to scramble the play list.

[Avatar]

Death Metal. Cannibal Corpse, Morbid Angel, Suffocation, etc.
The music makes me want to dissect the entire convoy then feast on their entralls!:rock::rock::rock:

edit: but... for the most part the music on the gramaphone. I have GWX1.3 and SH3CMDR and no other downloads added.

[joegrundman]

And then a bit of beach house when sailing around the Canary islands

[Indiana_Jones]

Mainly my 80s music, on my turntable next to the computer :D

Just got the 'Das Boot' LP today!

-Indy

[Jimbuna]

Ah!....those great days of vinyl records :yep:

Brings back a lot of good memories :up:

I enjoy the sound better then CD :)

Plus it feels nicer

If I sank some ship I always listen "Going Down" perfomed by Chicken Shack! :rock:

-Indy

Yep....still hung on to my rarest albums :yep:

[Jsbl]

I usually listen to Richard Wagner's operas.
My favourites are:

Der fliegende Holländer
Tristan und Isolde
Parsifal

[Indiana_Jones]

I also listen to "Jeff Wayne's musical version of the War of the worlds" :D

I think Thunder Child works well!

-Indy

[EZeemering]

I play all kinda stuff, whatever i can find on my pc. Tho when missions get serious and tense I switch to historic music to get in the mood a bit better. The gramaphone is nice, but i added extra ww2 songs plus alot of classic (Dvorak mostly).

[baggygreen]

I play U2 mainly, on the stereo near the computer. When i slow TC down to 8 or lower, I turn down Bono and throw on the headphones to listen to the sounds etc. Especially when im being DC'd, i dont look outside then and have to rely on my ears.

[Capt. Shark Bait]

other=stock. i like that they included Panzer Lied, got the lyrics here somewhere, Battle of Britain, Lili Marlene, and a piece by Wagner used in John Boormans Excalibur

[Capa]

Mostly experimental, minimal, or intelligent electronica in the vein of Murcof, Robert Henke, Vladislav Delay, Deaf Center or the post-classical ambient drone group Stars of the Lid. All might sound a bit weird for a WWII U-boat sim but it makes it feel like a contemporary pondering of the subject.

[mengle]

for me Piaf, Dietrichn, Tino Rossi, Luis Mariano, Vera Lynn and other stuf like german propaganda, LA MARSEILLAISE FROM PIAF IS FORBIDDEN :cry:

[ChrisG2100]

For me the GWX grammophone tracks plus some other WW2 songs.


Same here.

[Manucubus]

just distracts me :down:

[Jimbuna]

You want to try a surface chase of a convoy in rough weather with Wagners 'Flight of the Valkyrie' blasting............most exhilerating. :up:

[deepboat]

Horst Wessel Lied and other "Stirring and Emotional Songs"

[Checkmate King 2]

:sunny: Victory At Sea :sunny:

[Blacklight]

Durring travel time in Silent Hunter III, it's all period German music for me. I think it adds to the immersion a lot.

When playing other naval games like Dangerous Waters, Sub Command and so on... I don't like to listen to any music. I much prefer the ambient sound of the submarine's engines and the realistic sub sounds. When I play these games, I tend to crank the volume so the ambient stuff is loud and with the surround sound system I have in this room (It doubles as a home reccording studio), when the door is closed, it really makes me feel like my room really is 1000 feet down moving through the water like shark hunting for prey.

Immersion is a BIG thing for me when playing a sim.

[Sigurd]

I generally dont listen to music much while playing SH3. Every now and then I throw on Long way to Tiperary or something, but usually its silence. I usually watch TV or something when I play, and then ignore everything but the screen whenever something is sighted.

But if I ever listen to anything outside SH3 (like on my iPod or something while I play), its usually some sub-genere of Metal, but I'm also strange that way.

[Capitan_Viejo]

I deleted all the stock gramaphone tracks and put a collection of WWII original songs, german war songs, soviet war songs, etc, it gives a lot more WWII ambient. The best song is "Tipperary" (red army version) played at "Das boot" :rock:

[Kraut]

For me it's nordic death metal. Perfect u-boat music. My favorite band is Emperor.

[Ciderman]

for me Piaf, Dietrichn, Tino Rossi, Luis Mariano, Vera Lynn and other stuf like german propaganda, LA MARSEILLAISE FROM PIAF IS FORBIDDEN :cry:

Edith all the way:up:

[Big Paul]

Boomtown Rats - I never loved Eva Braun:arrgh!:

Seriously, you can't beat the GWX tracks. I have that record on my car mp3, Heinrich knows the one!:oops:

[TheBlackHand]

Most definately BIG BAND stuff. It's great when "I'll Be Seeing You" comes on as my latest kill is slipping into they abyss.

I'm fortunate to have a large collection of 1940's era music and radio clips.

The radio clips have been DL'd off the net at various places. Earthsation 1 for one. I've converted the .rm's to .mp3's.

A few years ago my dad got me a 15 disc collection of Glenn Miller wartime broadcasts. These are outfrickinstanding!

I also really like the Edith Piaf and Marlene Dietrich tracks.

Then, of course, the U-Boat Radio Mod stuff is absolutely essential.

Here's some screenies of my gramaphone juke box:

Which type of music do you listen to while playing a sub sim

On the Gramophone to SH3 I listen to period music. (Only exception is a few classical pieces, Wagner, conducted by Wilhelm Fürtwängler after the war, and Liszt, conducted by Kurt Masur.) I have several Gramophone mods which are sorted and rotated by dates of release, so I will not hear a track released in 1940 when the campaign is taking place in 1939. (If you're going to try to be authentic it should be reflected in the music as well!) The music are mainly light German popular schlagers and Tanzmusik of the time. Some German march music too. French music can also be found, but especially after the fall of France in 1940.

Although I have a decent collection, I have so far not included any music or radio from enemy or neutral countries such as Britain, America, or Sweden. It is true the U-Boats had radio and could listen to foreign broadcasts but, for the moment at least, I feel it somehow spoils the atmosphere inside the U-Boat. In time I hope to include music from the Netherlands and other occupied countries...

Besides music I can hear speeches, interviews, PK-reports, fanfares followed by OKW gibt bekannt... with front developments, entertainment. I don't have enough of this kind, so I am always looking for more.

Oh, and no music during battle!

[Ivan Putski]

Period music, with some war news broadcasts thrown in.

[-SWCowboy.]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say Hank Jr's song I'd Love to Knock The Hell Out of You and If the South Would've Won go pretty good on the high seas :up:

[Sailor Steve]

I completely agree; I do it pretty much the same way. However, are you aware that you can use SH3 Commander's randomizer function to organize them by year, so they rotate themselves automatically?

Saves much time and effort.

[Oldgamer48]

I put classical into the grammophone folder, and big band. I'm a big fan of Wagner, and so much of his works are played on my boat. I don't care if the crew likes it. I do ...

:cool:

[vodkavera]

I don´t lisend to any music at all.
I like to hear the sound of the ocean.
Word!

/VV

[Dowly]

Metal! :rock:

[Jimbuna]

I've added some lord Haw Haw broadcasts into the SH3 Commander 'date' folder http://www.psionguild.org/forums/images/smilies/wolfsmilies/pirate.gif

[Magnito]

Nice collection man!! I looked and the speeches & broadcasts of Earthstartion1 DVD HISTORICAL AUDIO must be awesome! Maybe i buy it.

I have military music of the period or before, in particular Ye Banks & Braes, Garry Owen 7th Cavalry March, Blood Upon The Risers, Ade Polenland, Flieg Deutsche Fahne Flieg!, and many URSS military music with chorus like Sviashchennaia voina, song of the plains, Rider's march, Red October Hymn, Kossack's Song, Katiusha, Kalinka..
Ochi Chernya or Schwarze Augen and Lili Marlen my favorites.

[wizardmatt]

Kaleun Hans von Schmitzen, son of WW1 fighter ace Otto von Schmitzen (get a copy of Red Baron 3d off eBay (NOT the SoldOut version!!!) and download the patches for XP compatibility), is a fan of all types of music. He's just acquired a complete set of Robert Johnson's recordings on vinyl, and is working on some Holst (Mars, the bringer of war!) and Mozart's Requiem (for dead British merchant seamen). Groovy, baby!

[Chisum]

Period music.

I've also got some wartime radio tracks.

Same for me.

;)
