Now there's many different theories and methologies of how this works and how it's done. Here's what I'm trying and how I do it:
Based on the idea that a sleeping mind still takes up auditory input, I thought I'd try it with the 'Thinking in C' CD-ROM based seminar that is included in 'Thinking in C++' by Bruce Eckel. It's a nice multimedia presentation consisting of aome HTML slides and most importantly a spoken commentary. The idea is to listen to that speech while in a state of high relaxation, maybe even sleeping. To make relaxation easier, I'll mix in some soothing and relaxing music. I choose Anugama's ' Environment 1 Ocean ', which fits the description very nicely....
Now, I'm aware that learning C might not be an ideal application for this method, and also that the seminar contains some C source code that is NOT spoken in the commentary. But I think that this should none the less deepen the understanding for the core concepts etc.
Technical setup: I converted the .asf files from the CD to .wav for easier handling, and made one long track out of the individual sound files for each chapter. I then mixed a rip of the mentioned music CD and arranged each chapter to result in a harmonious track with some pure music at the beginning (~2min) and a clean fade-out at the end. I want each chapter to be self contained....
I ended up with several tracks (9 chapters in total) with playtimes between ~40 and ~20 min. in PCM wave format. I originally planed to burn those tracks to normal audio CD-R for easy playback with my discman, but the lenghts of the tracks would have made that slightly un-efficient. I then rememberd that many DVD players can also play mp3 (mine can)
tools:
dMC - the dBpowerAMP Music Converter for converting and ripping. It's free and
will most likely do what one needs done.
MAGIX MUSIC MAKER (silver edition)
for multitrack arragement and mixing / fading.
I got mine free on a Magazine Cover CD, and it does what I need.
It can even mix AVI and stuff, but I don't need that. I don't think I'd buy
a full copy though, I guess I'd go for CoolEdit.
Once one get's used to it's UI, it's actually rather usefull.
