With female only programs, I always use a female voice only; likewise, with male, I use male only. It's much more effective that way. Otherwise I use both genders.
I don't remember which one I am using in the female voice.
Thanks, I happened across a method of hearing the gender of the voices for the subs. Yes, the female subs use female voices, the male subs use male voices and other (non-custom) use both. I thank you for using male and female gender voices based on the name of the custom embedded subs. Additionally, I was surprised to hear the gender of the voice in PSE2 (I do not know what is said and the gender may play a key role, I was just surprised). You mentioned that PSE1 did a better job than PSE2 and I suspect that its because the PSE1 component in PSE2 is drowned out by the voice. The voice is strong, the PSE1 component is faint (my observation only, I'm not telling you how to do your job).
My post was not to announce to the world that I knew the gender of the voices but to focus on the resistance I've had to selective subs. If I hear a female voice say "It is extremely important to me now, that my surroundings be neat and clean." and I don't like being told what to do and I resisted every time my mother told me to clean up my room and the voice is a familiar female (Crystal16), it might be that I'm resisting this script. If the sub however neutered the opposite gender of the voice by prefacing the gender "If I am female", "If I am male", that might keep me from thinking that my mom is telling me to clean my room. Since I don't know what the sub is saying, and I don't really want to know, its most likely that this is not a issue. As I look back I believe I responded better to the all male voice subs, but this also might be that my customs use a male voice.
So back to the original question. Is there an negative affect of hearing and opposite gender voice in the sub.
BTW, wow the difference between the 3G and 4G is day and night. I see why you say 4G uses big guns.
