Looking forward to this premiere 😄

[@DanJonesHypnosis]

It is Mandy's story... Obviously you know that already and have heard it on Patreon already, but I thought it would be nice to do it as a premiere as it is her story and be present for the first KZbin listens...

@@DanJonesHypnosis it is nice, I hope Mandie can attend. I enjoy the story livestreans/premiers and it feels like its been ages since we had one.

Request: if you do another one like this, would you please consider naming them either Clark or Lois after mine? (Jk, but not really) :)

Just watched Postcard Killers, was pretty good though opera singing was a bit much 😆

Do you use binaural or any other enhancement in all your videos or just ones that are noted in the title? Thanks

[@DanJonesHypnosis]

Only where I say I do. It is very rare for me to use binaural beats in videos, for a few videos I've recorded them with my 3D audio microphone and have the audio in binaural audio, many of the nature sounds effects I use in my sound effects versions of my sleep stories and other videos are recorded with my 3D microphone in binaural audio, but usually the vocals are just in mono or stereo. In my sound effects versions of videos I don't normally state that some of the sound effects are binaural audio because there are also many sound effects being used which also maybe mono or stereo, but if I ever is binaural beats I mention this. It is very rare for me to use binaural beats though. I have a couple of music tracks using binaural beats but can't think of any spoken tracks on any of my channels where I've used them. For tracks like this it is just my voice, no enhancements or changes etc, with the tracks with background music, unless I use my sleep piano music for the background the music doesn't have any binaural beats etc, it is just my voice and music, and in the sound effects versions it is my voice track plus whatever sound effects I can find, sometimes recorded by me in stereo, mono or binaural depending on the microphone used, and sound effects by others are the same, they could be mono, stereo or binaural but often don't specify, they might just say 'train on tracks' for example and it won't say how it was recorded, although you can often tell when listening. Obviously there is a difference between binaural beats and binaural audio. Binaural beats are where you have a carrier frequency played to one ear and a second frequency which is different played to the other ear and the brain picks up on the difference and entrains to that non existent frequency. So if you have 250hz playing in one ear and 258hz playing in the other ear the brain entrains to 8hz. Binaural audio on the other hand just means that the audio was recorded with a 3D microphone or two stereo microphones that were placed about the distance apart of the ears on a head and the audio is encoded as a stereo track with spacial information so that sounds sound like they have a location in space around the listener (like listening to a Dolby Atmos demo video through headphones), rather than what stereo normally sounds like where it normally doesn't sound like it is coming from a specific location in space around the listener. In my old stuff I used to often use various techniques like layering vocals with my voice layered to come from different locations around the listener, I used to also use specific sound effects for anchoring where I would for example have a specific bird sounds which would be linked to a specific state so that hearing that sounds triggers that state etc, but I don't really do this nowadays.

@@DanJonesHypnosis very informative and interesting! Thank you for that! I never really understood how those things worked but you explained it really well! Ppl w epilepsy are sensitive to those things including the 3d mic which i now understand since its recorded as binaural. I appreciate your reply🙂

[@DanJonesHypnosis]

binaural audio from a mic shouldn't be any different to listening to normal sound. Binaural audio just means that the information encoded in the stereo is move advanced than in normal stereo recording so that it sounds more realistic, so that you can hear the location in space in the recording. It is a way of trying to recreate the sound you would hear through something like Dolby Atmos surround sound speakers, but through just two speakers. It isn't the same as or related to binaural beats which are a very different thing. Binaural beats are creating a frequency which encourages the brain to respond by developing that frequency. Binaural beats can have an unpleasant experience for some people, usually depending on the frequency being elicited and the carrier frequency. The frequencies encouraged in most tracks are normal frequencies the brain takes on. For example, if the binaural beats are encouraging alpha brain waves, this could be done with sound using a binaural technique of a different frequency being played into each ear (binaural - for two sounds), or a single sound frequency at that frequency (monaural) where you don't need headphones, or perhaps flashing lights, which can be the same, it could be two different frequencies of lights with a different light at each eye, or a single light - for example, UK TV's flash at 50hz's, US TV screens/monitors flash at 60hz, so watching a TV screen can encourage the brain to develop this frequency. If you slowed the flashing down to 8 flashes per second, then you would be entraining the brain at 8hz using the flashing. The same can also be done with electrical impulses. You can attach an electrode to your ear for example and have a pulse of electricity at a frequency for the brain to match. You can also use multiple of these. You can also use other strategies, so if you want the brain to be 8hz, you can close your eyes. This slows the brainwaves down. You can then do things to trigger relaxation, like relaxing breathing or visualising something relaxing. This has the same impact on the brain as using something like binaural beats, etc. Where people can be uncomfortable is when a carrier frequency is at an unpleasant frequency or too strong (in the case of electricity - for example, I have devices that do all these option and the electric impulse device makes me feel sick when I have it turned up. Turning it up makes it more effective at quickly changing brainwave frequencies, so there is a balance between how high any one person can have it where they get the benefit without feeling sick). For binaural beats, I find it unpleasant to listen to high pitches and so prefer lower pitches used as the carrier pitch, but someone else may find the opposite. I made a video about this recently on my The Mind Changers channel, talking about this and ASMR. my colleague Dr David Lewis has also made some recent videos about this. But although the names sound similar there is a big difference between binaural beats and binaural audio. Binaural audio is like listening to natural sound in every day life where the sound of a bird two metres away over your left shoulder sounds like a bird two metres away over your left shoulder and if recorded in 3D audio and played back as a binaural recording (so designed to be able to be listened through through headphones (two speakers) rather than in the 3D audio it was recorded in where you may listen back through perhaps 9 speakers to get the 3D effect), it will sound through the headphones like the bird is two metres away over your left shoulder, rather than it sounding like it is just coming through the left earphone, as you would normally get with normal stereo. Most things you listen to nowadays are binaural audio if you listen to them through headphones rather than TV speakers, and either binaural or 3D audio when listening through a surround sound system. For example, most computer games have 3D audio and if you listen through headphones you are listening to binaural audio, that has been one of the selling points of the latest consoles, that they do a very good job of this, especially through headphones. Most films when you watch the 4K versions and some in the HD versions have 3D audio and will often state Dolby Atmos or similar and if listened to through headphones, again you will be listening in binaural audio. I've just recently finished watching a new David Attenborough documentary about plants that was 3D audio and so binaural through headphones and often buy 4K documentaries because of the 3D audio sound. 3D audio (binaural when listening through headphones) makes the audio sound more real and immersive, rather than normal stereo.

Thank you so much for taking the time to explain all that! So interesting!! I sppreciate it 🤗
