ok; this question is really f**king important
what the hell do you master AVSers listen to when making presets?!??!!??!?!?

i mean; i need beat to tell how the thing is gonna look; but usually that kinda music (heavy in bass) doesnt help me to think too much

but i cant just turn my speakers off becuase i am american and i need sensory input for my eyes and ears ALL THE TIME!!

;p

Techno's always good for AVS...

You can always use Minimalistic Nothingness for relaxing presets, but even then, beats are needed...

I choose the 7th, hidden option, movie themes. From people like Hans Zimmer, Harry-Gregson Williams, etc.

Variety is the spice of life.
I think most people use techno styles because of the nice clear beats. Personally, i like to expose my presets to as much as possible.

I listen to a lot of metal, though, so in the end my presets probably seem a bit unresponsive to some people.

In the end i'd have to say the music that really shows me what my presets can do is a short assortment of Led Zepellin tracks. Almost any of them will do. I think it's something to do with how they're recorded or something because they just work. I don't know why. Tool is pretty good too, especiallly if you want to test a range of volumes, big crescendos, combined with subtle moments.

A bit of folk is surprisingly good, too.

I basically creat emy presets based on what looks good when it reacts to what's currently on. THat's how most of mine were done, especially some of my very early presets (except for the "Transitions Intro" AVS, which was inspired by work done by Jaheckelsafar - and I credited him for his isnpiration).

Prodigy mainly, a nice mix of rock/techno that'll give you a nice understanding of what practically everybody will see.

That is the best way in my opinion since you can see how it reacts to different types of music. I also like to make mine do something to nothing I often test my presets with no music too just to make sure that they wont look like cack with calmer or quiet tracks.

No as I said, it's really the subliminal messaging which does the trick.

Try searching WinMX for "I Love Techno" (a large techno event in Belgium). You should be able to locate some DJ sets.

It depends on how I feel

When I really try to make a beautiful preset i use something with a loud, constant beat such as Darude, but Darude is way too commercial for me. Otherwise i play the music i like such as Metallica, Nirvana or KoRn.

Hey, for some weird reason I really want to download Jheriko's AVS pack...

Sorry, but you'd need to use superliminal messaging to work on me.
