Do you need music to create? Or you prefer absolute silence?

[Kross]

I know of some people that are always at their creative best when they have some music playing in the background. Others can only create well when everywhere is silent.

Where do you belong to here as a creative person?

Depends on my mood, but most of the time I need a little music playing to keep me focused.

I prefer to create to while listening to music as music tends to help me remain productive. Without music, I'm not so much creative. I don't like creating in silence.

When I’m working on something I’m definitely someone who enjoys music. There’s something about sounds that improves my concentration. So, complete quietness actually distracts me more because I become aware of every tiny noise.

It depends on what I'm working on. If I'm working on a video, I need to focus on the audio of the video or have silence while I record a video. If I'm working on anything else then I definitely need music playing in the background to keep me motivated.

I listen to music when I am doing household chores or while walking, however, when I am working on my projects I like silence. I find music to be a distraction while working.

I personally don't want any form of noise when I am in my creative zone. If I am making music, the only sound I want to hear is the current music that I am making. If I am not making music but doing other forms of creativity, I prefer absolute silence.

It 100% depends on my mood, somedays I need silence, and others music helps me with my creative thinking.

The majority of the time, I want to create content in silence as playing music could be a source of distraction. I can only play music when writing when it is clear that I am bored and can't handle creating content without playing these songs.

I always wonder how people are able to create with music. I know some people that would still be able to create even as loud music is playing. Just maybe, their focus level is high and the music aids the flow of ideas.

I generally play my music on at 55%-67% volume when I'm on my laptop, but when I'm on my phone, I play it at max volume.

It does help me focus and helps aids the flow of ideas, tbh.

However, I used to play music directly through headphones, I generally don't do that too much anymore. What about you? What's your preferred preference?

I like playing music when I create content. It is not a big deal because I like playing jazz when I write as it is a form of inspiration for me to keep pushing with my writing.

I like soft music in the background, it shuts me from all other distractions including noise

 

[Milla]

I don’t listen to music when working but I like listening to music while exercising or doing chores

Most times it's absolute silence for me. I always prefer being focused without distractions. So I look for secluded area and do my thing.
