Apparently, they are using binuaral beats to alter the brain waves. I wonder what this will sound like on a big system??? :noob:

The effect can be quite pleasing and possibly emotional (once you get into it), if not feeling a little weird / phasey at first. :)

BT used this technology throughout his This Binary Universe DTS DVD. I had a chance to listen to it through a dual SVS setup...comfortably loud. :wink:

Got a laugh out of the article. :loler:

That "Gate of Hades" is child's play.

Put that technology into the hands of an artist that knows how to use it like BT (mentioned above):

(Must be heard live, start-to-finish, in 5.1 to fully appreciate)

or an engineer like John Bedini:

This is actually quite a point of interest for me. I help out with a halloween show every year, and part of the event involves an entrance through a haunted house. The first year I stepped up the haunted house by adding my AT to the system, and the next year it was two ATs + a number of hidden speakers throughout the house, plus some infrasound tracks I created to lay under the running thunder/lightning track. Last year I altered the infrasound track by separating the ATs to opposite ends of the house and including some low-level low frequency tones that combine to create harmonics in the 3-6hz range. While testing it out I was told by my friends who were building out some of the rooms in the house that I needed to turn it off because they were becoming increasingly uneasy and agitated with it running. I'm going to do some more testing and experimentation this year to see if I can take it to another level of disturbing. :)

Haha, I want to do this!!

I haven't helped out with a haunted house since college. Loved doing them, whether it was setup or performance. Now that I have the rig, I'd *love* to do sound for one of them.

Maybe I can find a local charity that's going to do one.

is there anymore info on these effects. im interested in how it works. using subsonic sound to scare people/animals is interesting. i have noticed that people with subs in there cars tend to see less kangaroos on the road. also could explain why there are some home theater systems with 2 sub woofers i always just thought it was for marketing reasons.
