How are you determining results?

Hi Apollolux

Im determining them based on how I see a change in my behaviour towards studying.

When I have exams or a test or any such pending deadline then the will to take action is suddenly and always there, but when there is no pressure I am as content and relaxed as any one.

Day 8 - Thursday 7th April

So far haven't listened to the track at all. I had a paper to hand in today and that meant studying all night with a few hours sleep.

I was so out of it and so unprepared for the pressure that getting any listening was impossible.

It is now 4.30pm. I could manage 8hours with headphones but this would take me past the midnight time and into day 9.

Do any of you think this would matter in terms of getting minimum 8hours listening in a day?

Subliminal audio, especially the ultrasonic variety, is meant for passive listening, not active. Just turn it on and leave it on in the background while you study. It's been said MLS specifically benefits greatly from this approach.

Apollo thanks but if I do that then won't it be more than the 8-12hours recommended listening a day?

Also my 23khz speakers are in my bedroom, on either end of the bed with the wiring behind the headboard. I can only listen to silent there.

I have a laptop, a mac book pro and can't listen to silent on this I think so try to listen to the trickling stream on this and try to with headphones as I've read its more powerful.

Please advice and thank you for taking the time to both read my posts and reply, its really encouring to feel and know someone is reading my efforts thank you much appreciated

can anyone help me out with the last few messages where I am querying my listening regime please?

thanks

It says 8 hours a day minimum and 12 + hours being optimal. This means you can do more than 12 hours up to 21 hours.

You could listen to silent or masked on the speakers on the headboard.

Headphones are the most powerful way to listen, followed by stereo speakers at either side of head, followed by stereo speakers in the room, with a mono speaker being the least effective.

I would presume you could listen with a macbook pro, see the above paragraph, just not sure how effective it would be.

dB should be between 55 and 65 for optimal listening.

As far as hours a day, I do it in calendar days, but if you're getting sleep time (8 hours there) anything else would be a bonus. Shannon has said that a similar amount of hours a day is best. As Apollo says listening while studying is good for this sub as it has state shifting technology.

Was that all the questions?

Hey so sorry for the late reply, wasn't feeling well so spend some time in bed (flu/cold etc)

I really appreciate you taking the time to help and please allow me to reply now


oh really? what about 24hour? its unlikely I can get that amount of time in of course but it will let me be less stressed about it I guess

Yeh the speakers basically are on either side of my bed and their cable/wires go behind the headboard to 1 side where the plug socket /power point is. I bought these specifically to use the silent track all night or all the time I'm in the bedroom. The thing I'm never in the bedroom unless its to get dressed or sleep. The room isn't where I study etc. that means the time I'm in the room is an easy 5hrs but a tricky 8hrs due to uni and the amount of sleep that I get. I know i need 9hours sleep but to get that means to lose a chunk of my day/evening time which is an issue.

Anyway so yeah I can play the silent on the speakers but I can't take the speakers out of the room due to the set up and then bring back and plug in, otherwise id have the silent playing 24/7 whereever I am in the apartment.

The laptop which is a macbook pro 2015 mode, I'm sure isn't 20khz etc which is why i have never played the silent on there. The masked tracks I have played on there but rather play them via headphones, only problem is that they get annoying after a while, or in the way of when I'm trying to listen to a youtube song or video/lecture or annoying when I need to study - not always, I have used will power to over come this but at times it is that way.

The only solution I can think of is that when I get home, then to simply play the masked track via headphones (or earphones which I haven't done at all yet) which I have been doing as explained above.

But having headphones on for a few hours while listening to the track and trying to study, chill, cook etc gets tiresome as explained above.

I could play the masked track without headphones on my laptop but then it has to be very loud for me to feel I'm able to listen to the low sounds on the track which means its loud and sounds like thunder even if its trickling stream or ocean lol

I am committed to this its just trying to get atleast 8hours in which is troubling me.

I can't leave the speakers playing 24/4 either because
1 ) I don't know if its a safety hazard, whenever I'm not in the apartment and at uni then leaving it playing may be a risk
2) I have the mp3 playing via a sony walkman mp3 which is a simply mp3 that looks like a small tube, and plays limited time maybe 16hours before it dies, so it needs to be charged up anyway.

For now I would be happy if I could get 32days play minimum, any advice please?

i never knew about the db thing, please can you explain this further and if this is for silent or masked track

I have tried listening while studying and found it to be zero help, I mean its with headphones (wireless bose - maybe I need to plug it in and not use the wireless feature?) and study but I don't feel any shift, I just seem to get motivated by pressure and all other times I AM procrastinating so not sure how this sub is helping

Macbook will get you your hours Shannon said mono is better than nono and I imagine macbook is stereo. All good.

Use headphones when you can, you can also bump hours with phone in top pocket on flight mode if ur worried about rads.

Not dure about speakers on all day and danger up to you.

dB is for both. If you can get a soundmeter its best, maybe 20 or 30 bucks otherwise guys on here use apps. Calibrate masked to dB then use ultra or bit quieter. I dont use ultra personally.

I actually heard someone on here say wireless loses content but not sure.

Anyways hope this helps.

You probably need to bump those hours if its not helping as is.

Hey again sorry for the late reply and again thank you for replying

What is E2?

So use silent on macbook or masked tracks are you saying?

Mobile phone ill try in my apartment, as sometimes wearing headphones for hours can become too much at times

yeah I'm now wondering if wireless has its issues so will try listening with the cable that came with the wireless, but then ill have to always be near my macbook due to cable length so you've just reminded me to try the mobile, or even the small mp3 player I have bought. I have been so stressed to figure out how to listen thank you you've given me some more ideas to try out.

Ah okay so do you know the name of any android phone apps I could use to work out how to calibrate the db, and what level?

thank you so much
