I love listening to uplifting music, especially Christian Rock. All positive, and it definitely puts me in a good mood, which I need when I'm editing for 3+ hours and suddenly, it's 1 am!
Absolutely....I have to have some music on in the background while I edit photos. My favorite?....Over the Rhine!
GREAT Giveaway Isabelle! Love all those stuff <3
I do not listen to music while editing. I am so focused that I probably wouldn't hear it anyways. ha
I love Christian music, so that is usually what I listen to while I'm editing! I sometimes listen to radio dramas while editing too! lol :)
The music sometimes affects my editing style though... if I listen to heavy metal music, I will tend to edit my photos more dramatically and add extra contrast! The opposite happens when I listen to quieter, or more soothing music!
My music depends on what type of session I am editing and my mood. Luckily I have an extensive music collection and have lots to choose from. When I sit down at the computer I scroll through the music and then find what speaks to me at the time. (But I have found that when I am doing more "glam" type photos I tend to favor Gwen Stefani.)
I absolutely have to listen to music while editing. It almost puts me in a trance. Soundtracks like "last temptation of Christ," or "Cirque du Soleil," or Brazilian Bossa Nova.
I have 4 kids, so my music is THEM! I have to have an ear out for any mischief that might be taking place!
Usually it's something melodic and calming. My day is so hectic with 4 kids that my editing time is my break time!
I don't listen to music while I'm editing. :(
I actually prefer it to be totally quiet when I'm editing. But occasionally I will put on music, and when I do - It totally depends on the type of session I'm editing!
I am a follower on Cozy Comfy Couch's blog.
I liked Queen Roses fb page.
I like listening to talk radio while I do my creative stuff. Weird, I know but I seem to work faster when it's in the back ground.
I sometimes listen to music when I edit but not all of the time. When I do listen I just put my ipod on shuffle. Wonderful giveaway! :)
I liked Blistful Lights fb page.
I liked Linda Jackson Photography on fb. Beautiful work!
I liked D & S Inspred on fb.
Fantastic!!
I love peace and quiet when I edit.......no music, just something warm to drink, usually coffee, and my sweet basset Lola at my feet !
I don't usually listen to music as I'm editing. My computer is in our living room so I'm usually at the mercy of whatever my husband is watching on tv that night :)
I liked Sylvia Cook on Facebook!
I liked Chic Pretties on facebook!
I love listening to the Glee Cast station on Pandora. It gives me so much energy and life!

I sometimes listen to music while I'm editing, but since my computer is located in an open area, I usually have to wait until nobody's around. When I do, I listen to upbeat/contemporary Christian songs. KLOVE stuff.
I enjoy classical music while editing - or sweet silence. Either/or.
This is a wonderful giveaway!
I don't listen to music while editing. I like the quiet.
What Inspires me to edit...Wow, I listen too Hip/Hop to Rock anything that has a very good beat is my inspiration to edit. Also, the wonderful pictures I took and uploading them and seeing the great big smiles or goofiness in the photos that is what inspires me to get in the mood to edit....I love the feel and outcome of each photo and how it tells a story. Some of the vendors I have already Ilike on FB but there are a few that I will for sure check and and may have to ilike...Coming back shortly to say I've liked them...Thanks for this opporunity!!!!
I do not listen to music while editing. I do listen to the television tho... I hope that counts!
babblebabe0@yahoo.com
I don't usually edit to music. If I do, it would be something to suite the mood I was trying to portray through the photos. Helps to focus sometimes.
Thanks for this wonderful giveaway!
What I listen to... hmm, either something classical (I love The Magic Flute, anything from Vivaldi or Vanessa Mae) or I listen to my favorite German radio station over the Internet.
I rarely ever listen to music when I'm editing. I usually listen to whatever TV show my husband happens to be watching since we're in the same room :)
I forgot to say thank you for this giveaway and all the other kind things you do Isabelle! Happy New Year.

I don't listen to music as I edit I'm sorry to say. I usually have the TV on, and I have been browsing the internet in a lot of the sites you've mentioned here. These sites inspire and motivate me to try new things, which I get excited about. Love it!

As anyone who has ever met me (or even read my blog) all kinds of music inspires me - it just depends on my mood. Today while I worked on photos I listened to Band of Horses.
I don't listen to anything while I'm editing...just silence, sweet silence.

I often listen to movie scores (Any of the Harry Potters are great, as is The Holiday, Pride and Prejudice....) so I don't sing too much! It's a distraction!

Sylvia cooks blog is just divine also liked her on F.B
also loving the Lunar eclipse set on D&S Inspired Photography's F.B page. It was so cloudy in NZ that night no one got to see it.
I have also liked QueenRoses more for my daughter than myself as I am of the short haired variety. Miss just loves having a hoard of pretties to hold back her mane. She is a Leo after all.
I usually like quiet since I try to edit while baby is asleep! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love to listen to the old Sixties music, which takes me back to my younger days. These packages are wonderful!
I sometimes listen to Pandora Radio and I prefer to listen to soothing music, while editing. Too many to list, but here are some of my favorites....Bethany Dillon, Brooke Fraser, Meredith Andrews, JJ Heller, BarlowGirl, Christy Nockels, Jimmy Needham, Nichole Nordeman, Natalie Grant, 33miles, Michael Buble and the list goes on. Lol
My favorite type of music is anything that keeps me pumped up and moving. This keeps me excited and I can be more creative when my mind is not wandering off!!!!
I liked D&S Photography. Great stuff!
Usually the TV is on as background noise. If I am lucky enough to be alone (LOL) usually it's contemporary christian, country, or classical music. I know, that's an odd mixture.
