How important is it to have NO gaps in the listening?
Depending on various circumstances, it will take me between 45 minutes and 2+ days to figure out the ideal ASRB for each program. It can actually require more time than building the program did. If it was not sufficiently important, I would not do that much work on that one point.
Quote:e.g. if I get a phone call and I was listening to the loop on my phone does that mean I need to start over or just resume where I left off? Should I roll back and pick up a couple minutes before the interruption?
Life happens, and few of us can predict phone calls and plan ahead. When life happens, do your best to minimize the interruption and then just keep going. Don't add time or try to start over.
Quote:If I need to switch devices from one I'm using at my desk to my phone and I'm in the middle of a loop, does it do any harm to more-or-less switch to where I left off on the new device?
You can switch without major issue by setting your "switching to" device to a specific point say a minute or two ahead of what is currently playing, and then turning it on and the other off at that point in time. I suggest you do this during a period of silence in the subliminal audio. You can see where these periods are by loading up the hybrid or ultrasonic tracks in Audacity. Audacity is a free audio editor that is available for Linux, Windows and Apple operating systems.
Thank you for this, Shannon! Just the answers I needed. I'll download Audacity and make a note of the ideal momentary breakpoints. Much appreciated.
I may have posted similar questions in a recent post, we overlapped... so feel free to ignore them.
It's nice to know I haven't been 'breaking the rules' too badly.
My next question is simpler...
Is there any harm in turning off the loop in the middle? e.g. I have finished listening to the 4 loops but forget to turn it off after the 4th one until I'm about 1/3 to 3/4 of the way through it. Is this an issue or should I listen through to the end of the ASRB section on that 5th time through?
