Shannon's Journal Discussion Volume 3

[Have at ye]

@Shannon


I started to listen to MLS 5.5G, I'm only a few minutes in of my daily 4 loops and I noticed something.
I hear a constant trickling stream with a constant volume and after 20-30 sec I get a drop in volume or something. It's a constant volume with descents in the volume, is this how the program is supposed to work?

I downloaded the FLAC file and I've uploaded the file to my Iphone 8 plus on VLC player.

Could someone chime in and tell me what's wrong with the file? I don't hear a constant volume, I keep getting drops in volume, minor drops for like 1 sec.

Have you checked the MD5Sums?

@Shannon

I don't get it, what do you mean with the MD5Sums? the notes that come with the zip files? What is MD5SUms?

It's basically a way for you to verify that the file you downloaded is "byte for byte" the same as it was originally created. Errors can sometimes happen when you download/write the file onto your hard drive. There are other potential reasons as well. Those errors can cause audio glitches. There is a more detailed explanation in the FAQ section under "About Subliminals", and download links for the software are included there as well.

And I know what you're saying, I'm getting those as well with the trickling stream version. And I'm using a different subliminal. I think that is because the masked audio of the stream is looped and the beginning and the end don't align perfectly with each other.

I haven't verified my copy yet.

EDIT: Mine matched

@Shannon

I get this when running the WinMD5 application:




What should I do?

Something isn' right, but I downloaded straight from the links on your webshop, I don't get it. Do I need to download everything again? How do I fix this?

Also I ran 2 days of this broken file, is this a problem? Should I take some days off? Yesterday was a listening day but I didn't listen to the files because there's something wrong. How do I proceed? Do I have to take days off? Anyone please chime in.

EDIT Don't mind me, follow the advice in the post below.
