Hi

 I'm planning to develop my own binaural beats software.  I’ve used Brainwave Generator for many years, but I think it’s a bit out to date and it’s not free.  I have some ideas to improve it.

 So…  Anyone here has used that kind of software?   I would like to have your suggestions or ideas.  If you think about nice features, please feel free to write them  :D

Hi PhantasyMan,
I haven't used binaural beats software so far, but a multitrack audio program with a sinus wave generator would do it too, wouldn't it? Even with a simple mastering program you could at least create two (stereo) tracks, and there are many for free. Of course you must know the right frequencies. With a multi-track audio program you then could mix the tracks consisting of the binaural tones and masking tracks with pink noise or music or other sounds. I have heard that in Hemi-Sync audio they change from time to time the frequencies (while the frequency difference stays the same) to avoid a saturation-tiredness-effect. As well HemiSync, as far as I know and heard, has more than one binaural beat.

Sorry if i sound a bit thick but what is 'Brainwave Generator' and what purpose does it serve?

Senote:

From what I can gather, it is a software package that creates and allows the user to create beats similiar to TMI. Some have success with it, others do not.

Hey Spooky, what do you know about the saturation effect ?   I heard about that few time, but I didn't find any valuable information about it.

Hi PM, let's say you want to create a HemiSync frequency of 7 Hz; you then would chose two audible frequencies with a difference of 7Hz, let's say 700 Hz for the one, 707 Hz for the other side. Now what I've heard is, in the beginning it can be measured that a brain get's pretty active, responding to the 7Hz; after a while (as far as I remember it can begin after some 10 seconds, maybe 30 seconds) it calms down, as if it's not "interested" anymore. This is the case with many other perceptions also, what stays more or less the same, is "vanishing" into the background. To keep the brain tuned into the desired frequency, you can change the carrier frequencies, so in our example you could change them into, just for example, 1000 Hz and 1007 Hz. Which carrier frequencies to choose, and what role harmonics/chords do play in this whole process, is another question, I don't know much about this. But the carrier-frequencies should not be set too low (under I guess 80 Hz) or too high (above I guess 1000 Hz). (Only my guesses)
