Yes, NP2 includes some binaural beat sessions and if you have NP2 Professional you can create your own. In fact, using the session editor in NP2 you can create an unlimited number of voices. However, binaural beats are not the only way to stimulate brainwaves, and we have actually found that other methods tend to be more effective and more flexible, such as Isochronic tones and filtered noise or background sounds.

Binaural beats are specially generated sound frequencies that can be used to alter your brainwaves and influence your moods. You can use binaural beat recordings to bring about specific states of consciousness, such as relaxation, creativity, or being "in the zone". You can read a full explanation of how binaural beats work by clicking HERE.

Binaural beat recordings work by sending certain slightly different tones to the left and right ears. This creates a third "binaural beat" inside the mind at a specific frequency. This frequency is specifically chosen to generate a certain mood, such as relaxation or creativity. The binaural beat frequency may change multiple times during a session to give you the best experience possible. You can read a full explanation of how binaural beats work by clicking HERE

Absolutely! In fact, it's hard to imagine a safer self-development tool. Simply put on your headphones, press "Play" on your CD player, and you're ready to go. Binaural beats are neither harmful nor addictive.

Using two sound synthesizers and by specifying slightly different sound frequencies for the left and right channels, it is possible to induce a third frequency which is the difference between the left and right in the mind of the user. This is known as a binaural beat frequency generation. The perceived beat frequency is especially useful as an entrainment tool when paired with pulsing lights.

In 1980, Tsuyoshi Inouye and associates at the Department of Neuropsychiatry at Osaka University Medical School in Japan found that photic stimulation in the alpha range produced hemispheric synchronization. Dr. Norman Shealy later confirmed the effect, finding that photic stimulation produced "cerebral synchronization" in more than 5,000 patients. In 1984, Dr. Brockopp analyzed audio-visual brain stimulation and in particular hemispheric synchronization during EEG monitoring.

Yes. Because both channels (left and right) are absolutely synchronised, the only error that can creep in is an error due to the sampling rate clock. If your sample rate clock is running at 44200Hz instead of 44100Hz (unlikely, but I'll use this as an example), this would give a 0.2% error in the frequencies. However, it would give exactly the same error in both left and right, so it would only give a proportional change in the beat frequency.

People have tried different things. Some people use tools such as CoolEdit on Windows to generate brown noise or other sounds to use as a background. Another person suggested commercial nature sound recordings, such a "Echoes of Nature", a cheap 10-CD set available in the USA. Commercial binaural CDs/tapes use their own special background recordings based on rain or waves or running water sounds and/or bells or chimes or tibetan bowls and/or music and/or whatever else seems good to them.

Yes we can and have done it for many rap/pop/electronic artists. Regular studio rates apply. One song can take anywhere from 1 hour to 8 hours to compose beats for depending on the complexity and length of the song. Bringing in a sample of the beat or sound you're looking for will help speed up the process.

We use PC based work stations, Sonic Foundry Acid + Sound Forge, Midi keyboards, VST Plug-Ins (virtual synthesizers, virtual instruments), as well as turntables and a collection of vinyl dating back to early 1970.

We make mostly club type bangas, however, we do produce other styles and we will make custom beats as well. Click here to view our custom beats/production pricing and terms.

It is recommended (by The Monroe Institute, etc) to mix binaural beats at a low level with some kind of background sound, e.g. pink noise. This is why pink noise is provided in sbagen. However, a better alternative would be to mix in some other kind of soundtrack. From version 1.4.0, SBaGen supports randomly-loopable OGG files, and two files of river sounds are provided. These can be mixed in using the -m option (e.g. -m river1.ogg).

No. Only exclusive beats are available for reselling or major distributionClick here for exclusive beats.

The microphones that we have been using in recent episodes on the street are the SP-TFB-2 Sound Professionals In-Ear Binaural microphones. There are two models, and we are using the less sensative one.

By all means, if you have some music already prepared that you just want to put your vocals, or something else to, then just bring it along. If you are interested in having some original music/beats put together for your project, then this also is possible, just get in touch so we can discuss further your individual requirements.

Yes, you can. The generated binaural beats and pink noise can be used for any purpose. However, if you mix them with audio from external sources such as the included OGG files, then you need to pay attention to the licensing terms on these. For example, the two river sounds OGG files which I produced are released under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license.

The K3 AFX (audio effects) creates the illusion of added space, similar to stereo, and has user adjustable settings. The binaural mode is similar to binaural I-Q (please see March 99 QST). We also monitor the SWR bridge in receive mode (forward/reflected power). If a signal large enough to cause front-end damage appears in the main T-R path (a "reverse transmit" condition), we quickly open the PIN diode path to the receiver, typically in less than 1 ms.
