Classical music & G-Force

Post by gpvillamil »

Well, I tried something that should have been obvious...

Mozart & Bach do FANTASTIC things with G-Force. Unlike most dance (techno, trance) music, which seems to mostly drive overall amplitude (beat), the classical music seems to evoke more complex responses.

In particular, waveshapes which reflect a spectrum show activity along their entire length, not just a regular bouncing at the low end of the spectrum.

Well worth a try.

I agree! Much of the classical music has a wider range of dynamics than most all of today's music. The changes in dynamics (loudness vs. quiet) really make G-force jump. (Currently listening to Beethoven's awesome 3rd Symphony.)

:D GF seems to really like choppy classical music. Try some Vivaldi... great! Or some good classical guitar, flamenco, whatever you want to call it, the choppier the better.

Classical music & G-Force: voice is cool

Post by robtb »

Voice is cool especially.
G-Force even picks up the dynamic pulse in each bar from a singer with good rythm. As well as massaging the backs of my eye balls, it's even helped me sing sensitively.

I am just learning to drive g force but do know I want to learn to control color palette for various moods of music. Stravinsky looks silly in yellow and beige and ombra needs greens.

:D Even Charliz Theron would look silly in yellow and beige, and she looks WONDERFUL in anything! You can't expect Stravinsky to look any better.

Just something worth sharing....

This may sound odd; but I am quite an enthusiast of air-raid sirensm i.e. how they work and (apropos of this thread) how they sound.
Anyway, I have a small collection of mp3 clips that I have experimented with using G-force; and it's interesting to note, especially with a simple line waveshape, how symmetrical the display is.
It's also fascinating, for me at least, to see how it looks when you hear a clip of a dual-toned siren, i.e. a WW II British air raid. In this case, it's not always clear as to which part of the wave display is reflective of which tone.

2¢ observation to kill my time with.

EDITED FOR TOPICAL RELEVANCE:

I've observed that when I play classical on my machine, some of the Waves really don't respond that well. 'Course, this is because such ones are designed for louder/busier genres. The simple tack would be to increase the signal pickup level ([]); but this somewhat endangers throwing the rest of your visual experience off-kilter IMO.
