Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[dissonance]

Hey Shannon and everyone. Hope all's good. I been out of the game for a while. Just noticed there's a new LTU 6.0! I purchased LTU 5.0 when it came out, and wondering is there a discount for the upgrade from 5 to 6?

Our policy is that if the new version is in a new technology generation, there is no discount unless there was a discount specified at the publication of the original version.  That did not happen in this case, and we have advanced to a new technology generation, so no discount.

However, if you think about it, the price right now is the introductory price, which is significantly lower than the end price will be, and the price is being held where it is because people are having more difficulty because of the corona virus.  Given what the end price will be, you effectively have a bigger "discount" this way than you would even if I was offering a 50% discount to upgrade.

Ah okay thanks. How many minutes are each of the LTU6 loops? Just to gauge how long a day's set would take.

 

As stated above, each stage has a different ASRB and thus a different length, as well as a different number of loops per day.  You can find that information on the description page.

Also, if I'm using the masked version, the mp3 vs flac would make no difference since the sub content would be below the freqs that mp3 would cut off, right?

 

MP3 is lossy; FLAC is not.  The difference has nothing to do with frequencies in this case, or I would have to use only FLAC.  The difference is in the amount of fidelity and thus clarity of the resulting subliminal, and that will still be degraded an estimated 3% to 7% on MP3, compared to 100% fidelity/clarity on FLAC.

Finally, when using the masked version, how would you describe how soft it can go while remaining fully effective, while sleeping? I'm using on speakers about 1.5 ft - 2 ft away from head.

That gets into a lot of variables, especially if you're using speakers.  What is playing it, how many volume controls exist for the whole play chain, what are they, how well does the supporting software and hardware function, are there any background controls influencing replay fidelity, and so forth.  If you can hear the mask, you should be affected by the program, but I suggest keeping it at a moderate level of volume for the mask, at least.  Whatever would be comfortable to use while you're awake will probably be best.

Thanks!! gonna be goin at it hard with OF 5.75 startin tonight. Removing that fear vibration for GOOD!!
