The BIG Brainwave Generator topic part III

Thanks for your responce, unfortunately i’d already tried what you suggested and neither option threw anything up so i have no idea what the hell is wrong.

I’ve re-downloaded the file from various sites, and i’ve run spy-ware programmes (including Ad-Aware) and still had no luck. As you said, i can think of no reason it would need to alter internet settings so i dont know whats going on. I might try and E-Mail the webmaster or something?

Thanks again, it’s appreciated

You should understand that spyware/malware scanning and removal tools are only about 60 -70% effective at best, and most are significantly poorer. In the free versions, LavaSoft’s Ad-Aware and SpyBot Search&Destroy are among the best, so you should use at least both of these. Together they will be more effective than one alone.

Based on your description, I personally wouldn’t use this BrainWave Generator program – unless one of these scanners found and removed the nasties that are almost certainly there.

(also worth noting; it’s not unknown for such “failed” installations to nonetheless succede in installing their true payload).

hereticmagpie,

I had the exact same problem. Eventually I gave up and deleted the installation file. A few weeks later I decided to give it another try, so I downloaded it again, and this time it worked. I don’t know what had changed with my computer, so sorry I can’t be more helpful, but hopefully it should work eventually for you too.

same with me, I had the exact same problem, couldn’t do anythin, waited a few days and it worked!

Does anyone know how to turn a preset file
into an mp3 file?

Export to WAV and use an outside encoder such as LAME.

Thanks.

I’m not sure though, if converting the wav to an mp3 would mean that some of the vital frequencies for it to work would be lost. Mp3’s work by removing the frequencies that the human ear can’t hear, hence lowering the file size. If you remove certain frequencies from a brainwave mp3, surely it won’t work ?

I’ve tried out two presets - one that focused on delta waves, another that focused on theta waves. I’m not sure which is strictly better though - I’ve read conflicting information on various sites. Some claim that theta waves are good for lucid dreaming, others claim that they reduce the amount of dreaming you do! As for delta waves, some sites claim that delta waves are synonymous with deep, dreamless sleep. If this is the case, delta waves can’t be a good idea for the sake of LDing…

Has anyone here got any experience with BWGen presets and/or good knowledge of the appropriate brain waves and their effects?

dreamless sleep?, why anyone would like that?.
Anyway, I have tryed a lot of Brainwave Generator presets, they don’t work to me, maybe I didn’t gave it so much effort. If Brainwave works for someone please post your experiences.

drteamless sleep, but also LESS sleep :razz:

Hi Xine.

I have not used brainwave generator a lot, but I do know a bit about brainwaves. Theta is the stage at which you dream most, so this would be the perfect setting to experiment with. Delta however as you mentionned, is deep dreemless sleep, so besides from making you very relaxed, (which theta also does bw), it is not gonne help a lot. Im not very sure how brainwave generator interacts with our brains, but if the brain somehow synchronises with the frequency of the signal, then the above is certainly true. However it might also be that the brain merely lowers the brainwaves a bit, depending on the signal. So perhaps the brain lowers its waves faster on delta because these are the lower frequency waves, with the result that with the delta setting, you reach theta faster! So, if I were you, I’d experiment a bit. Good luck!

Best way to use the Brainwave generator is to print out all of the help files, go through them, and learn how to build your own presets instead of depending upon the presets of others, most of which are built by beginners like yourself.

By learning how to build your own presets you can set them up to put you to sleep by using a low binaural beat and and low pitch, and then raise the binaural beat and pitch at the time you would normally expect to be dreaming, say after 90 minutes, to help you either wake up and remember your dream or else become lucid in your dream.

Brainwave generator is a tremendous program capable of producing all kinds of sounds and beats other than just the high pitches ones that are included with the program, although many of the included presets are excellent for learning how to do things from, especially the ones in the other category, that show how to produce various sounds like a helicopter, shoveling sand, etc.

Take the time to learn how to build your own presets. You won’t regret it. :grin:

If you haven’t already, take a look at the Bwgen tutorial (written by philthemn), which discusses some settings that might be helpful.

As for using a delta setting to get into theta, I don’t think that would be very helpful. But I don’t know too much about this subject. What I gather, however, is that in general it is harder to entrain to a frequency that is very different from your starting state, so I would guess that aiming low would merely make it less effective, and might even give you a headache – again, I’ve only read a little, and experienced even less, so maybe someone more experienced will confirm or correct what I have said.

Another useful tool for creating binaural beats is Adobe Audition (formerly cool edit), it has its advantages in being alot more versatile, for example, you can copy and paste a whole section of binaural beat. You can also add multiples of the original voice to create interesting effects; I have recently created a binaural beat sound that contains 5ths and 3rds creating a more easy listening sound than the normal presets.

I have written a small introductory guide to creating binaural beats for anyone who is unfamiliar with the software here:

Not sure how good these are, but here’s what I found following some links on the Brainwave Generator site that advertise a book containing Brainwave Generator presets in it for Out of body experiences, and there are four presets in this group of presets that are built for lucid dreaming.

Hm, I experimented quite a lot with presets some years ago but never had success with it. I tried both bwgen and cool edit. However, if someone finds a preset that works please tell :happy:

The only preset I know that might work would be one that a person created for themself, since each person is different, so will respond differently to the different tones. And even at that, a normal persons sleep patterns are likely to vary so from night to night, with one night the person possibly sleeping very deeply with hardly anything being able to wake them, and another night sleeping very lightly, that even a customized preset for a specific person may only work part of the time. If there were a magic preset, I’m sure we would all know about it, and be lucid, as news like that would not stay quiet for long.

as the title says , is there any i remeber downlaoding one a while back and well lost it sum where lol, any ways my m8s having trouble sleep past few days and i thought one woulod help him.

ty in advance jimmy
