New listening settings

In essence, mono is like hearing everything from a single point, while stereo is like hearing a wider, more dynamic soundstage with distinct left and right perspectives.

@anon78457040 cracked the code to Zero Point Mono by receiving subliminal input through the Singularity of one point!

Zero Point Mono sounds cool, ice cool :slightly_smiling_face:

I set my audio player on my phone to mono and listened through my earbuds.

What audio player you use ?

The default one on my phone. It doesn’t really matter what player you use as long as your phone’s speaker is set to mono.

Doesn’t seem to work well on me. I’ve been listening LotS for half of the cycle already, been getting good results, used headphones. And today tried mono - got very sleepy, and couldn’t muster up the energy for the workout

Looks like you’ve overexposed, mate. That might suggest the subs hit deeper when played in mono through phone speakers.

I’ll try with other subs in the next couple of days and report back, with less listening duration

Is the experiment and the resulting difference in experience more from using mono or phone speaker?

I notice with speakers rather than headphones I begin to take spontaneous deep breaths throughout listening to the loop.

Have you tried mono also on headphones?

Interesting to see how these other approaches can make a change to the impact of the subs.

It’s more about using mono. However, I imagine that it only makes sense when you’re using speakers—I don’t think it applies to headphones, although perhaps it does.

So far, looks like you were right. Today I did 6 mins of Mogul with mono (and 3 mins of Khan ST2 using headphones like normal, without mono). When I tried mono with LotS, I did full loop

Currently I’m feeling productive and energized after loop, and halfway into the loop I started having some TRE-like tremors and also thinking “Money, money, money” in ABBA-like fashion lol

Mono also works with headphones since it just balances or blends both channels into one, from the settings in your phone, not the music player app. This means that what you are getting in each ear is 100% identical.

Since there is no difference of scripting in left or right channels, this should not cause issues.

I’m going to run it this way and report if I notice an improvement or other effects.

I looked over this thread again, and you never shared your results, @anon78457040
I’m curious - What did you experience with this listening setting that prompted all of this?

I still have no tried it but would be curious to know why this would even change something, a small shift in the audio engineering and it totally shifts results? That is very interesting.

@Sydney - a post being flagged doesn’t mean that said post will be deleted. It will be only be done so after being reviewed by admins like RVconsultant, Fire or Saint and if it goes against the Campfire policy.

Did you continue using Mono?

Yeah, it’s my go to for now. But I plan to alternate between mono and regular whenever I feel like.

Mono can also be used for headphones or not?
