Shannon's Journal Discussion

[dissonance]

Dammnit Shannon, is there no protection against creepy women, a creepy woman pinched me on my butt, and I am only on Stage 5 AM 6, SM scares me somewhat.

wtf lol? elaborate pls.

You're gonna tell me you're running AM6 and you're afraid of a woman assertively expressing the desire to fuck you? YOU are the protection against "creepy" women pinching you on the butt, Mister! What kind of alpha whines about creepy women pinching his butt?

Dammit, AlphaReal, an alpha gets butt grabs from time to time. It means she wants you. Being sexy as hell sucks, I know, but you're going to have to deal with it. Next time, tell her not to do that if you don't like it! Assert yourself! Just like she did.

OMG all these women seeing you as an object! What ever shall you do I suggest you enjoy it hahaha

I took it as a joke, I hope it was a joke atleast. :z

[eternity]

i saw shannon's response to alphareal as responding with the same kind of humor alphareal used to shannon

[Benjamin]

hahah ok I guess I missed that myself.

Yes. tell her "oh please don't grab me anywhere else either missy!"

[Shannon]

This will stop her dead in her tracks:

Loudly state, "That's more expensive than you can afford to pay for, so hands off." If she asks what it costs, tell her it's $5,000 an hour - if you like her. And you don't.

Another way to stop such things:

Loudly state, "Stop molesting my ass! stranger danger! Stranger danger!"

Of course, if you do the latter correctly, it will result in laughter from everyone around you. And sometimes, actually get you more of what you're objecting to.

Finally, there's the "Too far, too fast"/"alien life form" response. When a woman pinches your butt, turn around and look her in the eyes, deadpan serious, and say, "I understand by your actions relative to my gluteal musculature that you wish to reproduce right here and now. Please undress right here and now so I can reproduce you."

Never fails. lol

[Shannon]

Shannon do you think it would benefit me if I bought more high quality speakers? I'm already getting results so I know my speakers are working but they're laptop speakers from 2006 so Idk maybe I could do better lol.

Oh no, speakers from 2006? They must be out of date! Quick, get new ones!

Seriously? lol If you have speakers that pass the speaker test, you're fine.

And so that your answer can benefit more people: do better speakers make a difference in results? Or is it like, as long as its working then there's nothing beyond that point?

Higher frequency response on the top end is better at reproducing the ultrasonic audio with higher fidelity, and therefore gives you slightly better results. Slightly.

Also do different audio programs make a difference, ignoring effects you can toggle on or off? Edit: but also would any effects help results?

They do indeed. I use Audacity on my laptop. VLC also works well. I don't know any others, so I can't comment, but I can say that WMP (which I hear is deprecated in W10) was terrible for playing subliminals.

Effects help results? What effects? Reverb? You don't want reverb.

[Shannon]

What's your current ETA on AM7? I know this is a very premature question cause your answer will probably change once you know more about 6g, but I think a very rough approximation could help me and others plan a little bit ahead what subs we run. Also would you work on the magnets right after AM7, and what would be the ETA on those. I understand if you can't answer this question though since its so early.

I'm expecting to be finished with primary 6G prototype development in the next month or two, depending on how the prototype version I am working on pans out in RL testing. The one I have produces astonishing results, but not the ones I need yet. The next one is blowing up the models, so we shall see.

After that I need to rip it down and write up a step by step plan in detail of how I did it. That will take an estimated 3 to 6 months.

From there I have to choose AM7 as a target to work on; may or may not be my first 6G. Probably won't be, since I'll want to refine the build methods first.

Then I have to take the current master key script for AM6 and strip it down.

I have to thereafter add in everything in my build notes that I have been collecting.

From there, I hold a community suggestions thread to see if there's anything else I think is worth adding. Then I add that.

Then I have to add in everything necessary to make it 6G (there are literally dozens of technologies now), and remove anything that conflicts or is now deprecated.

After that I have to verify grammar and spelling, and optimize the wording.

Next I build the self optimizing prescript and the internal ramrods, and add them in.

From there I have to tag each statement as to which stage it goes in, and then weave the statements out into each stage script.

Then I tag them again for each stage as to which voice it goes in, and again weave it out as to voice.

From there I record the audio for each stage, and process it into a quad-base file, which I can then build into the ultrasonic and masked variants of each stage.

After that I have to verify the audio for each one, and then encode them as both mp3 and FLAC.

That leads us to tagging the audio files.

Next, I re-verify audio quality and then create a .zip file, which I verify by decompressing it, and then I verify the audio quality on the extracted audio again.

Then once I have the mp3 and FLAC files and the .zips, I rename the .zips to work with our back end servers and calculate the MD5 hash for them all and create the text file of those values.

From there, it's time to upload, and then I have to call on Ben to build the page and link files.

The next step is writing the instructions, followed by the description in the store.

That leads us to the final step, which is editing the description and instructions.

From there I can announce it and release it.

Now, the only accurate answer I can give you is... "However long it takes me to do all that." And I left out a lot, because a lot of the 6G stuff is, and will remain, secret.

Once I am done with AM7, I will be deeply exhausted mentally and emotionally, and I will not be interested in building another multi-stage 6G for a while. So I'll probably take a week or two off and then maybe build some single stagers.

But it won't be too long after AM6 that I build SM and WM in 6G. Just don't know how long this will take more specifically than that.

[Shannon]

It'll be a while. You know that I have to do this very slowly, carefully and methodically. Every time I improve my skills and put out better than before, I have more people's trust to uphold the next time I release something. That's important, so it has to be done right, and that means as close to flawless as possible. Which takes a long time...

[lokko]

I just got an Idea for you Shannon. Since EPHRA 2.0 is the cloest sub you have to 6g I would suggest make ephra 6g once you figure out how to build it to how you want it. Not only does it seem lkke you're half way there with 5.5 but it seems like it would be easier on you. And for people who already bought ephra 2.0 they would be allowed to upgrade to 6g free or at a much reduced cost. This will push ephra 2.0 sales to the roof, when people find out your first 6g sub would be ephra.

[Daredevil]

His first Sub in 6G will be ASC and most likely he will jump to AM7 to get it out of the way. Most people wanted AM7,SM4,US,WM3. He said he wil be done with AM7 by late 2017 hopefully but I think it's early 2018.

I've been using WMP the whole time.
So I downloaded Audacity, and it looks pretty complicated. Do you need to change any setting or you just play it?

[kenpachi]

Is the default iTunes player on an iPhone okay? Or is there an app we should download for better playback? Questions open to anyone, not just Shannon.

AlphaReal, I work at a coffee bar at an AA club and there's this one old lady (late 60's?) who gives me the CFM eyes every time she walks past. It's kinda creepy and I feel what you're saying! sometimes I feel safe behind that coffee bar

so i get it! i'm right there with you
