FLAC Master race?

Is that the same race that used the Fliegerabwehrkanone in WWII?

JK. Good on your for not telling every person how to blast music. I like it sometimes, but most times I am trying to asses a situation or communicate with my squad.

To all Mumblers, please only use this when being transported.

Thank you.

I remember crawling up to a FOB on Yamalia and just as we reached the edge of the tree line someone started to play Miserlou (Pulp Fiction). It was insanely epic as we engaged enemies with the song blaring and people calling out contacts, was extra immersing somehow.

I'm a bit of a PR DJ, but I try to keep it respectful.

Examples of when music is okay:

1) In a tank or other armored vehicle in which only your crew and/or other PASSING vehicles can hear you. Quite often spamming music while stationary is a bad plan. CAS will sneak up on you, or if you're near INF they will become annoyed by it. But the road out of main is the perfect place or some confidence-instilling tunes.

2) In a transport helicopter ONCE AIRBORNE. People almost always enjoy music played during insertions by helicopter. It adds to the mood. Sitting on a pad in the base, however, is not quite the same. See below.

3) In a vehicle that is not normally spoken to or addressed. I.E, Bombcars/Garys. Some of the very best music spam comes from the garbage truck filled with high-explosives blasting some track.

Examples of when music is certainly NOT okay:

1) As an Infantryman. There are exceptions to this of course, but generally it is more distracting and annoying than cool. Generally.

2) In a situation of heavy combat in ANY vehicle. As much as you may like to hear "Highway to Hell" in your M1A2 while engaging a pair of T-72s, it really is a bad idea. You'll be killed much easier that way.

3) In main. There are almost no exceptions to this. Sitting in a technical, APC, or Logistics truck while spamming music at the repair station is a flat out d*ck move. In main, there are squads planning attacks, CAS helicopters talking to pinned-down troops in the field, and the Commander is talking to many men at once. Interrupting this is disrespectful and SHOULD get you banned. There are very rare exceptions to this. Spamming "Beyond the Sea" on the Vadso Helicopter Carrier or USS Essex might get a few laughs, but that's a main base , so refrain in general.

All of these are case-sensitive. Playing mumble music anywhere can draw some hate, and hate leads to kicks and bans. Nobody wants that.

One final, but very important note: Spamming music over a bad mic or out of small or poor quality speakers is a terribad idea. That will get you yelled at (by fellow troops or by Admins) regardless of song or situation.


If you see me in-game, the timing is right, and I happen to have my laptop hooked to my speakers, shoot me a request. I'll play it

i love music on mumble

if your speakers are coming into play you are already doing it wrong and it will sound bad.

digital to analog coming out your speaker, captured and turned into digital again, then compressed and sent over mumble to be converted to analog again and heard = sounds like shit.

i say dont do it if you dont know how or can't do it right. it will just be annoying, its bad enough that its low quality through mumble. digital straight to mumble is the only right way.

I disagree. I play speakers - to - mic and literally everyone who's said anything has told me the sound quality is incredible and people ask me repeatedly "how do you get mumble to play music?" When they try it sounds atrocious. Dunno why.

You can't get in a huey in vietnam without someone playing ride of the valkyries it adds to the mood so much, there are cases when music is not ok like in a large firefight but if ur buzzing around in a transport heli music is only going to make it cooler

At any rate, I find it's generally more acceptable during insurgency because insurgency tends to be a clusterf**k anyways. The funniest thing I remember from all of PR was a group of civies blasting Arabic music and dancing. A helicopter came in and strafed the group of them, about ten people. Corpses were flying every which way, and the music stopped. After the dust cleared, the civies came back out and put the music back on and just continued dancing. My friend and I laughed our asses off

Grr from invader zim today after smashing on Muttrah <3

can you still talk in mumble? can you still hear others in mumble? if you can hear others mumble that means it gets echoed to them again. sounds like a fail idea even if all the randoms you asked said it sounded good. which it doesn't, and you can't test because you are playing the real thing on ur side. there is only one good way.

'[R-DEV wrote:AncientMan;1783345']Hey, even at the moment, I alone am paying for the PR Mumble server out of my own pocket (I don't get the donations ), and I'm a poor Uni student (thanks to all those people using up bandwidth playing music!)... It's not exactly pocket change...

I guess I'll just leave this here in case it was otherwise missed...

Mmmm raving on pavlosk in the tower over west. Yea buddy.

i'd play my music, but im not sure if anyone would like it, lol.

it's always comical to pass a vehicle and hear their boombox turned up to 11, good for morale.

Dat BF: Vietnam

thats why they do it.

They did it in iraq too, but it was disrespectful apparently, so the marines and army had to stop

Well it's a morale booster/releases some of the tension.stress. I fail to see how the local populations would find it disrespectful aside from it being loud when they blast their little "Prayer" music over the intercom from mosques.

Tutorial. Now!

Here's a song you all can play. Fitting when driving out from main in a HMMV/Land rover.

Outlaws In Vietnam - CD Recording Of Actual Helicopter Missi - YouTube

Play this sort of music if you're a pilot, I doubt the passengers will mind.

I don't mind it, but some people just get too crazy and annoying. STFU already! lol
