There have been some discussions related to adding silent tracks in between products in your stack. I think traditional wisdom was that it gave the brain more time to digest the information from the first product before moving onto the second one.
Does this act actually enhance results for users ?
I tried it at some point
didn’t really notice a difference honestly
Was thinking the same i use to stack emperor and primal S back in the day. Worked so well.No silent subs in between.
@dorfmeister would you please add your thoughts and ideas to this?
@Trader I can’t remember if you were doing this silence between tracks as well. If so would you please add your thoughts to this?
I used Audacity to generate files of silence in lengths of 1, 3 and 5 minutes.
I add them in a few of each as needed to pad out enough silence.
For sleep, I put half hour between subs as they’re an hour-long (90-minute sleep cycle and all). This seems to affect my sleep less than if I just have them playing all night.
During the day, if I do it this way, it depends on how long I’ll be listening. and how long I’m in the office.
if it’s my typical 10-hour workday, and I have 5 subs to listen to, then I add in 5 hours worth of silence. Usually for that I’ll shuffle the entire thing then, so that by the time 10 hours is up, I’ll have been through the whole thing buy my brain can’t figure out the timing to be able to block or stonewall as much due to acclimation.
Thank you for your input @Trader I truly appreciate your systematic, science-informed thinking.
@dorfmeister I would encourage you to read the above post by @Trader because it might give you some ideas.
I’ve started stopping my tracks every 20 minutes for 5- 10 minutes before proceeding and I feel it assimilates a lot better. Sometimes I’ll stop at a half hour only once.
I open Ableton create a 1 hour silent track and put it before the sub Playlist.
Then I play the Playlist befor I go to bed.
Works fantastic
I can now understand peoples rational behind adding the silencers to their stacks.
Thank you everyone !
I’ve been using silent tracks to separate my loops for a while now, and haven’t noticed any improvement over running them back-to-back. But it does break up the wall of sound to give my ears a rest. Once everything uses Solace I’ll probably drop the silent tracks altogether.
Thank you all for jumping in and posting your thoughts!
Again the conclusion is you got to experiment and find out for yourself.
Since the beginning of January I have interspersed silent or white noise in between my ultrasonic or masked subliminal tracks.
Right now I have Dragon Reborn ST2 only running in my work office in ultrasonic form.
I only listen in my office so I listen from about 8 to 2 or 8 to 3 depending on the day. I only listen during the workweek. This means I get two to three exposures to the ultrasonic subliminal as I have it in a stack with 2 hours of silence. This stack runs on the mp3 player 24 hours a day continuously, but I am only exposed M-F while at work.
Thank you for contributing man!
