(Sorry this journal intro is a little longer than I expected but itll help anyone new that wants to follow me understand my story and for anyone else as a reminder as to what im trying to achieve and perhaps why).

OFv3 is out and I have just read its sales page, downloaded the US FLAC track to my laptop but not to my phone as yet. I then thought its best to get the journal up and running for now.

So according to my OF v2 journal, I had listened to that sub for 56 days. I stopped and left this site for 2months only to return by chance and see to my utter shock, amazement and joy that OF v3 was being released. Something I never ever thought would so kudos and applause to @CatMan for truly making this happen for us all with suggesting OF v2 and now suggesting OF v3. 

I havent had any success at all with any subs so far since being here in 2015.


A quick back story:
My reasons for coming here are primarily to become a better student. I am a mature student back at university and the procrastination around self study that hit me in my teens seems to have never left me. Pre-teens I dont think I ever procrastinated when it came to self study and homework etc.

Since trying all sorts of subs which are all listed in my Profile Signature (to be updated) it finally became clear from Shannon that procrastination is a fear and since UMOP hadnt worked perhaps its better to smash and go through the window approach with a sledgehammer - OF, rather than through the door approach with UMOP.

I thus moved to OF, then OF v2 came out soon enough and I went to that and now at OF v3.

No subs have as yet worked for me but im happy to pay even though money is extremely tight for me as its my success, my advancement and my developement that im eager to work on and I do believe that these subs once working for me (and they will im sure) will then lead the way for others to work for me.

OF v3 when removes my fears will then allow all other subs to work for me as is my understanding. I have many dreams and goals so I really am hopeful this sub will work 6years after the very first I tried which had much less tech in it.

OF v2 I had listened to using my Samsung s10 phone as this was the easiest way for me to get it done however OF v3 for now has a listening protocol of 1 loop (60mins) which I can do with my S10 phone but also with my Audio Engine A2+ speakers that I have at my uni apartment. 

I return back to uni in a few weeks, having had 2 months of nothing but stress due to exams and covid.

So as I listen and update my journal I shall include what im using to listen through so that all this data helps Shannon.

If I use my phone, I will begin with volume 13/15 (unless @Shannon tells me otherwise).

If/When I use my speakers ill just adjust the volume to calibrate with the trickling stream track.


My Fears:
Ive come to realise that I have many fears and I am full of subconscious fears. I either am confident to not show the fears publicly, or im egotistical to not show it, or I become apathetic and avoid the fear entirely.

1 of the fears im aware of are those around studying (academic studying).

I also have oneitis when it comes to girls and neediness/clinginess as well as hate being rejected by females especially when ive made efforts so I dont know if this is in anyway fear based but oh well.
 
I have many other fears and realised no need to share everything as this journal is already too long lol - However as per the sales page, once my fears are removed then im really looking forward to my new life of freedom change and success.

So I shall stop there. If anyone has any questions, suggestions, tips or advice as always I welcome them all.

So good luck to us all!

What's the reason behind the 13/15 notch volume, Jake? Just curious. Because for me that's way too high and I'm often use Shannon's subs through speakers with only 30%-40% volume max and that's going very well. Anyway, thread subscribed. Fight!

Hey buddy so this is what was advised to me (perhaps to others too) by Shannon for those using US on their cell/mobile phones. I use a samsung (like shannon) and its max volume is 15clicks, so was told to start with 13 out of 15 and see how that goes.

If you arent using such a phone but use speakers then yes you must calibrate the volume as the instructions state and NEVER use US with headphones/earphones etc.
