Preseason Testing​

As I did during Season 2, I will be hosting testing sessions for the next season on Mondays @ 9:00pm Eastern doing a series of short practice sessions on various tracks that I will use to determine the voting combos. This will also help in producing the upcoming season promo videos. All series drivers are welcome to attend these testing sessions.

That said, Season 4 will feature the following cars:

​

Monday 9/8 we will be testing the 2001 Volkswagon Golf IV GTI Touring Car
Monday 9/15 we will be testing the Honda CR-Z Touring Car
Monday 9/22 we will be testing the 1997 Honda Civic Type R (EK) Touring Car

Thanks

So Dragonwhiskey recommended the music that I used in the Season 2 highlight reel. I need to choose the bgm for Season 3's highlights and I'm asking for some help in picking something new to use.

Bleed together by autumn offering has always been a good bgm in my book. 👍


EDIT: I listen to some very hard metal and this is probably the lightest song on my playlist.

Ty Cobb by Soundgarden.

 

[Zii1993]

Or the theme to Dragonball Z budokai 3. Just the instramental. I love guitar work like that.

Ty Cobb by Soundgarden.

Just kidding, that's a really bad idea.

 

[Zii1993]

Just kidding, that's a really bad idea.

I didn't have a clue what it was so I went and looked it up. Lol

 

[euclid58]

I didn't have a clue what it was so I went and looked it up. Lol

I've had an attitude check recently, and don't think like that (lyrics) at all.
That entire album is good though.

 

[Wardenclyffe]

If you're looking for heavy guitar music, I suggest Baseball Furies by Buckethead (please note this really isn't a video; it's just the one pic, or at least that's what it was for the 30 seconds I had it playing before I grabbed the URL):

 

[Fallen_log]

Are you looking for any length like 5:00 mins or more? @brntguy
Linkin Park-Never Back Down

 

[euclid58]

There's an instrumental that Deftones did around 10 years ago but cant remember the title to it.
I'll have to look it up, it's good though.

 

[brntguy]

The longer the better but usually I edit the song to match the length of the vid as I did with the glitch mob bgm. Thing is I have to watch out for copyright issues also on youtube so that they don't mute the whole sound totally and I think that will happen with anything Linkin Park, which totally sucks.

2 ways to approach avoiding copywrite, put all information on song (even record company) in the video so you give credit and make sure you state you do not claim as own...or slightly speed up song and call it a remix lol, I've done some editing for a couple years, what programs do you use?

 

[brntguy]

Yea Jay I've tried it all and still have problems from time to time. But must say that youtube is at least calming down on bit on it's restrictions. Where it may just let you have a claim on the vid/music but still allow it's play and just advertise the music on itunes etc. Some countries tho have stricter rules and will block the vid. Giving credits etc. keeps you from getting in trouble but usually doesn't do a whole lot whether they restrict or not.
Been doing these things for quite some time and quite a few on my channel and have used varied groups/artists. Was looking for newer groups/less heard/cutting edge. Trying not to reuse. If you look at my stuff you get an idea of where I'm coming from. https://www.youtube.com/user/brntguy/videos
Introduce me to something new and awesome kinda like Dragon did. Never heard of Glitch Mob before and liked what I heard and used a song. Next thing I know I hear that song in a trailer for Sin City 2 and I'm going hey I know that song!

 

[brntguy]

So maybe this will work.

[Dragonwhisky]

NBCSN used Can't Kill Us in their F1 commercials last spring too.

There's a ZZ Top song that might be appropriate for one of the season 3 highlight films. Soon as I find the exact title I'll post it up.

 

[Parcells2]

Parcells feels old...know of ZZ Top, the others mentioned sound made up

 

[Zii1993]

So maybe this will work.

This just reminds me of Brian from family guy lol.



Edit: Megadeth, fast lane. Definitely a good song all about racing and fast paced.

 

[Dragonwhisky]

Parcells is old if he actually remembers this tune from 1972. The title is simply "Chevrolet" from the Rio Grande Mud album. It's about as early as you can get in ZZ Top's more than 30 years.

EDIT: I have about an hour and a half down time before I have to get off for about an hour to run some errands then I'm free all night for some practice. Wednesday or Sunday either works for me. I just can't host.
