Shannon's Journal Discussion Thread, Vol. 8

[Shannon]

Shannon, so the usage pattern for UMS v3.1 is gonna be different from v2, right? Back in v2, I could repeat stages 1, 2, 3 without needing stage 4? Then, if I mix UMS v3.1 with DRS that has different volumes, is there a trick or an app that can tweak the volume automatically?



And, if it’s already time to move to stage 2, but the money for buying stage 2 isn’t enough yet, can I just repeat stage 1 again?

The usage patterns for UMS v3.1 have been published, as far as I know them.  I am aiming for as close as possible to one month for stages 1, 2 and 3, and then 3 months for Stage 4.

You will need to do all four stages for this one. 

As to mixing UMS with DRS and handling the volume, I don't know of any such trick.  I suggest that a good way to handle it is to set a daily alarm for each program which is separated by some amount of time, a couple or a few hours, and then just set up each one when that alarm goes off and listen.

You cannot just keep listening to Stage 1 if you can't buy the next stage just yet.  If that is a concern, then you can either wait until you have purchased at least the first two stages to start, or you could subscribe instead, or you could purchase Stage 1 and then subscribe to any stage you need before you have the money to buy it.  But if you want the desired results, you need to follow the usage patterns specified in the instructions.
