Sound is such a fundamental aspect of human life that we often take it for granted.\u00a0 In all its forms it affects us very deeply in so many ways.\u00a0 As my wife shreds old documents by the dozens, the sound of that machine sets my teeth on edge, causing me to feel a bit stressed.\u00a0 On the other hand, the sound of water gently flowing or wind blowing through the trees has the opposite effect on my mood.\u00a0 Music is a great example.\u00a0 It can motivate, calm, or induce almost any emotion.\u00a0 I could go on with this but I’m guessing you get the idea.
\nOnce you can record and create good quality audio from you home recording studio, you may wonder what, other than songs and voice-overs, can you do with this capability.\u00a0 Here are few powerful uses for recorded audio you may not have thought of.<\/p>\n

Hypnosis<\/h3>\n

Hypnosis tapes\/CDs are common ways to help people improve their lives.\u00a0 Now you can customize these recordings for you own use or as a product to sell on line.<\/p>\n

Binaural Beats<\/h3>\n

Related to hypnosis is the practice of biofeedback to help people control their heart rates and induce certain brainwave frequencies known to be associated with certain moods.\u00a0 One method for achieving this is called “brainwave entrainment,” which is the practice of inducing specific frequencies through the use of audio.\u00a0 By listening, in headphones, to two different tones (one for each ear), you set up something called binaural beats<\/em>.\u00a0 If you want more focus, you set up beats in the “beta” range.\u00a0 For relaxation, you go for “alpha,” a slower frequency.\u00a0 Once your brainwaves start to match the beating rhythm, your mood begins to follow that change.

White Noise<\/h3>\n

White noise sounds a bit like a TV tuned to a channel it doesn’t get.\u00a0 I’ve heard it described as sounding like: “Constant wind whooshing through the leaves of lots of trees. Water continuously falling down a waterfall. Sssshhhh…”
\nFor better sleep and relief from tinnitus<\/strong>, white noise can be a god-send.\u00a0 I can attest to the effectiveness of this!\u00a0 In fact I might go so far as to say that the best purchase I ever made, that impacted my life in the most positive way, was a pair of earplugs that generate white noise.\u00a0 This is not an affiliate message either.\u00a0 If the company HAD and affiliate program, I’d be more than happy to support them, but as it is I’m happy to support them anyway.\u00a0 The product is called “Sleep-Eze,” as basically, it’s a pair of “reverse hearing aids.”\u00a0 They run on hearing aid batteries.\u00a0 When you put them into your ears, the world basically just drops away and all you can hear is the pleasant and soothing sound of white noise.
\nWhen it gets quiet, I get a fairly loud ringing in my ears…doubtless from playing loud rawk music for too many years.\u00a0 Anyway, the white noise earplugs completely mask the ringing.\u00a0 But where these babies have REALLY helped is to drown out the sound of other people’s voices!\u00a0 This is especially useful in airports or any situation where you are surrounded by others and you want\/need to focus.\u00a0 And the coup de grace <\/em>has been the drowning out of my wife’s snoring at night.\u00a0 We love each other deeply, but I was on the verge of having to have a separate bedroom at one point, due to lack of sleep.\u00a0 But once I got these earplugs, I literally could not hear her snoring right next to me.\u00a0 It was fantastic.\u00a0 I loooove me some Sleep-Eze earplugs!
\nAudio… sound<\/em>…has so many applications we may never think abou<\/strong>t.\u00a0 Some of these applications border on the life-changing for some people.\u00a0 If you aren’t interested in learning to record and create your own audio for musical or voice-over reasons, then consider the compelling therapeutic uses of audio.\u00a0 I named just a few.
\nIf you want to learn how to get started recording and producing audio from your computer, or just to improve and expand on what you already create, come visit Home Brew Audio on the web.\u00a0 They can show you how to get started for $5.00 or less, and will guide you step-by-step with easy-to-understand video tutorials in plain language.\u00a0 So get started creating something powerful!
\nCheers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
