Shannon's Journal Discussion

[4Kingdoms]

Hybrid format is the ultrasonic format and one of the masked formats in one track. It allows me to effectively double the data input by using different pitch and volume channels. Since it uses ultrasonic and masked, you can use it with headphones because you can hear it. However, you'll want to be careful regardless.

Is the hybrid format an experiment for now or will it be included for all subs going forward? (sounds amazing, btw)

It is no longer experimental. It will probably be standard... but, we may have to eliminate some "features" because this is getting ridiculous. I now have to create five different tracks, in two different encoding formats, per stage of each title? That's a but much.

Easy fix!! Eliminate the individual Ocean Surf and Trickling Stream tracks.
Keep ultrasonic as a stand alone, so we can sleep or go about our day in silence.

Absolutely not. I don't respond well to ultrasonic at all, even when played low. I respond best to Trickling Stream, played at a low volume.

I told Shannon to let us make our own playlist of ultrasonic/mask and to stay focused on his work.

He still went ahead and created the hybrid. Obviously to get faster results for those of us that want everything NOW...

It's Shannon's call. I'm still for making your own playlist as you so desire.
Ditch the hybrids and leave it up to us to decide how we want to listen.
