Do listen to music while playing warframe? What are your favorites?

[Deshiel]

I've been consinstently playing warframe since it launched on steam for many years and so while grinding I had to come up with something to spice up my grind. 

That something was simply killing the ingame music and firing something from my Winamp or Youtube playlists. I also make my own music specificaly for grinding, but I won't be showing that here.

So here are my top 5 songs/compilations that I fire on repeat while I grind in warframe and I am also curious about your choices, maybe I'll like it and borrow it :)

MDK 2

 

The entire soundtrack of Unreal Tournament 2004

Ginnugagap from Therion

This anime and its composer

For some reason Half of Blood Dragon soundtrack turned my warframe run into pure coitus

There was a thread in off-topic about the music people like. It is not specifically for playing Warframe but I've found some good music to listen to from it: 

 

[Voltage]

I listen to a lot of the music from Wirtual's "Wirtual Vibes" playlists. He's a Twitch streamer who plays Trackmania :).

Wirtual Vibes
Wirtual Vibes 3

Yeah, ended up muting Warframe through PC settings. After all this time, it just gives me headaches. Especially if I'm using headphones. 

What I listen to is random. Could be the soundtrack to Life is Strange, something peaceful like the music from Stardew Valley.

Sometimes just some 3 hour video of k-pop. Other times I just put autoplay on YouTube and let it take me to whatever song.

Not to picky with what I listen to, it's just background noise.

I go over dozen tracks a day myself, these are favorites that I come back to after listening to hoard of other stuff and they also sort of summarize my genre preferences

[SneakyErvin]

Ah I see Therion. I love the whole Secrets of the Runes album.

When it comes to music I'm a big metal, rock, hard rock, punk and viking rock head. It pretty much ranges from some John Fogerty all the way to the outer reaches of the extreme metal scene, like Marduk, Mayhem, Watain, Dark Throne and Dark Funeral. What never comes out of my speakers would be Hip-Hop, RnB, Rap and other crap like that.

Do not listen to music while playing. Prefer listen to ingame sound.

I do turn that back down whenever George Spanos, the DE Audio Director announces that new stuff has been added.

I used to listen to a lot of music when gaming, but nowadays I use sound cues to aid in gameplay so that I don't have to switch the focus of my sight as often as I would have to do when playing with music on.

I spent a decade playing Moviebattles 2 for jedi academy with nearly no sounds because all the heavy industrial metal and agressive dnb were always muting everything else. I didnt need to hear anything at the time because I played it so much I got everything down to a hunch, even player behavior haha

No music. Either a movie or a Twitch stream is typically on when I play video games.

Random music

[KnossosTNC]

Warframe is my "podcast game." I set my headphones down, stand my phone up, and put YouTube videos and podcasts on while I play.

[xcrimsonlegendx]

I've never been one to listen to music while gaming, I prefer to be immersed in the game world. Listen to what the sound designers worked on for the game experience. If there's in-game music that's what is played.

Sometimes I’d like to listen to music, but I rely on sound cues too much 😐. There have been times where I’d be like “That fight would have been awesome with this particular soundtrack I’d listened to in the past”, and I’ve tried before, but it was like putting a blindfold over my ears 😋.

 🤔 I forgot actually that part of the reason I started recording gameplay footage was to try assigning cool music after the fact. Just never get the time to do more than recording, which is a shame

edit: If I were to listen to music, it’d be akin to the UT 2004 soundtrack, or something with a good epic beat (although gentle music as a fight happens can be pretty cool too, like Gwyn from Darksouls 1)

[_junguler]

yes, if i happen to be light on podcasts, usually trance music. the game audio is muted or set at 10% at maximum.

if you really want one sonic music

[Esserlon]

I listen to podcasts mostly, educational or comedy stuff the likes of McElroy family podcasts or TMG. Sometimes if I don't feel like paying attention I'll listen to long playlists of cowboy music or oldies. Otherwise I just turn up the game and enjoy the ambience.

[Uan91]

I wish I could play "corrupted" in every single mission. Including at work.

Yes I consider my job a "mission"

[Berzerkules]

I listen to everything from Aesop Rock to Skalmold depends on what I'm in the mood for I guess.

 

[(PSN)DoctorWho_90250]

Rock music. Some rap. Podcasts. Youtube videos. Movie clips. Some pop musicians.

Examples:
 

 

Edit: A sampling of what I listen to while I game.

[JohnMorte]

Power Metal.

Frequently listened to examples include:

the sound of the perfect headshot and the screams of my enemies is all the music I need ;)
