Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 5

[Jake2015]

ps: depending on the listening protocol, I may ditch using my s10 phone to listen and use the speakers in my room - perhaps that will help but using those I think would mean listening at the volume of ocean sound rather than 13/15 as per my phone. So perhaps that could really work for me. I also aim to be back at uni for the remainder of the year so listening at night without any hiccups/stoppage is very likely and possible.

Hi Jake, I had been missing your posts indeed (but hadn’t realized it had been so long… CoVid time flows differently I think)

I’m not Shannon but I’ll give my 2 cents on your PS because I have used that setup a lot. I think it’s a great setup if you can stay in the room for the full run.

Remember to:
- Use wired speakers (Wireless could work but wired is the only way to be 100% sure you’ll hear the subliminal messages. Since you didn’t have results last time, I wouldn’t risk wireless.)

Only if playing ultrasonic: (I don’t understand from your post which format you’ll run)
- Check the speakers’ Specs to see if they support a frequency up to 20 kHz
- Run the speakers test
- Set the volume with masked first and then use that volume for ultrasonic (if it’s too much, you can go one notch down)
- Optionally, double check the volume with the FrequenSee app placing the phone where your ears will be.

haha Hey Fab10 thanks for not forgetting me and appreciate the welcome back

I agree yes wireless no point. My speakers are wired that I have there in my apartment's bedroom. I just need to fly back there however since this OF v3 is now released and just 1 loop per day I may try and download and start it from my phone whilst im home and then swap to the speakers once im back there in my uni apartment. I know that this 1 loop is subject to change as per the listeners feedback so for now its still a great easy starting point to begin with.

Yeah ill use Ultrasonic. Masked may affect my terrible sleeping habit so US is definately always the starting point for me.

Yes the speakers are audioengine A2+ and they told me it was able to reach 20khz frequency.

Yeah the volume setting is always a little odd for me. I prefer using trickling stream yet when I then go to ocean I feel its too low so I rather set it as per trickling stream and leave it at that unless anyone here advices its a very bad move including @Shannon

Yeah I may use Frequensee app again to check too. Thanks for that reminder!!
