Sleep Frequencies

Below is the first version I have of the completed file. Upon sharing with my team, the general consensus was that, yes, this audio track DOES aid sleep, however there were varied complaints about the white noise levels being too high, and the binaural waves being too loud in places and too quiet in others. […]

Here is a small sample of the track with the finished audio. However, I have muted the binaural waves in this instance so that you can hear an example of the music on it’s own. I’ve tried to create a certain sound with LPFs, the sensation of being submerged. The Glockenspiel is very difficult to […]

This is just a quick sample from the latest version of the track. As you can perhaps hear, this is a combination of the binaural waves, the heart beat, white noise and human chatter. When given to my bar team, many complained that the binaural waves were far too prominent, and in trying to hear […]

The binaural waves are designed, I now just have to start adding the other parts to this one. One of the other fundamental parts of the track is the heartbeat. In my opinion, I believed that the heartbeat and the binaural beats alone would be affective. I created a quick MP3 and gave it to […]

I decided to remove the currently used hum sound created through an instrument MIDI plug-in, and I decided to use the Signal Generator to produce the separate frequencies needed to create my binarual waves. To make my alpha wave, I sent a 130Hz sine wave into the left speaker, and a 118Hz sine wave into […]

Something I am doing a lot in this track is automation, not only within plug-ins but also on things such as pan and volume. This means that control can be taken of all volumes throughout the whole track, even as it progresses through different stages of sleep, so no stage is more noticeable to the […]

To create the submerged effect, I have primarily been boosting the low ends and reducing the high end of audio, in some cases adding Low Pass Filters. I have found, however, that in the case of the Glockenspiel, as the instrument consists so highly of high end frequencies, this submerged sensation just isn’t effective on […]

Through the Massive AAX Plug-In, you can add White Noise to a key, and you can also change the ‘colour’ of this ‘noise’. I turned the power of each OSC down to zero and turner the power on the noise to full to create my own white noise wave, rather than using an easily available sample […]

To get the effects of binaural waves, two separate frequencies must be present, one being played through the R speaker, the other being played through the L speaker. The gap between the frequencies, eg. L = 130Hz, R = 118Hz, Gap = 12Hz, will create an audible oscillation which can match up to your brainwaves […]

  Though the internet is rife with pre-existing heart beat samples, I wanted to be able to create my own sound effect, not only for copyright, but because there was a certain sound I wanted to be able to achieve. I used two separate kick drum hits, the second one slightly louder than the other, […]

This is another example I have created to give an idea of the sort of sounds we could be getting. There is a sample version of the Glockenspiel combined with white noise and a low frequency, and with an example of a heart beat in the second version.

While trying to think of a way to get around any copyright issues by using an Oasis track, I took the time to go back over my own work. While playing a through suggested videos about adult lullaby therapy, I noticed the similarities between adult lullaby songs and child lullaby songs is that the adult […]

using two different kick drums, and adding reverb to them through Massive AAX Plug-In, and working at 70 bpm , I have created a very basic heartbeat sound. However, I then decided to experiment with it slightly. By rendering the track and then reversing it and adding a low pass filter, I created this sound. […]

To increase the ‘potency’ of the hum, I’ve tried combining the original note with a the same note sharp. This creates an effect where you can hear the oscillation. Though in this example, I have just combined them through a plug in, in the final I will have the hum separated into its two notes, […]

According to the an earlier post, 40dB is the sort of intensity of sound wave that a sleeper can comfortably share an environment with. According to the Decibel Sound Ruler at TLC Direct, this can be compared to a refrigerator humming. This triggered a memory of my second year at University where I actually had a very […]
