Whether creating subliminal recordings for your own use or for others, you should be aware of the side-effects this may have on you personally. Each step in designing and creating a self-help recording of any type requires different types of action. It is almost impossible to avoid the consequences these actions will have on you as a recording creator. This article discusses how this can affect you in ways you may not have expected.

You likely already understand each of the steps involved in creating either a subliminal, supraliminal or paraliminal recording. The steps having the greatest effect on you will be the creation of the message tracks, the brainwave tracks and the process involved in mixing each of the various tracks together to create the final recording.

How Creating Message Tracks Affect You

For each of the self-help subjects that you target in your recordings, you will need to properly design and write the message script. It may take anywhere from a few hours to several days to refine it so that the statements have the greatest impact.

The message script will of course have to be either recorded or generated as an audio segment. Several copies of this audio clip will need to be sequentially mixed in order to achieve the desired message track length.

As you build the message track, you will be exposed to each of the statements in the script repeatedly, often to the point where they may become almost annoying to listen to. If you find this happening to you, it is best that you take a break or switch to a different aspect of the recording creation process, or even work on a different recording subject. The suggested reason for this is that if you are unable to focus clearly on what you are doing, then you are more likely to make a mistake and the quality of your recording may suffer.

The other side-effect you will likely be aware of is that repeated listening to the messages may affect you with respect to the target subject. If the topic you selected for example was overcoming the fear of heights, then you may become less fearful of heights, but only if two conditions are true.

First, you would have to already have a fear of heights. Regardless of the self-help topic targeted, a problem cannot be resolved if it does not already exist. This is an important principle you should remember not just for yourself, but for your listeners as well.

The second condition is that even though you will be listening to the messages repeatedly over the course of perhaps several days, it may still not be long enough to impact your own subconscious. Even after progressing through the mixing process in creating the final recording, this can still hold true.

As a creator, you have the option of not listening once the recording is completed. Your listeners, on the other hand, will choose to listen to the recording frequently and perhaps for months until it achieves the desired affect.

How Creating Brainwave Tracks Affect You

If you choose to create paraliminal recordings, then it is very likely that you will incorporate a brainwave audio track to introduce an alpha, theta or delta state, or a mixture of these. The purpose of a brainwave track is to induce an altered state of mind so that the message track becomes more acceptable to the subconscious. These tracks can be significantly more powerful than simply using a relaxing sound track to achieve this state.

You will usually have to create and listen to different versions of brainwave audio tracks until you are satisfied that you are obtaining the desired effect. When doing this, you should be aware of the two possible consequences.

By listening to a brainwave track repeatedly, and even not in conjunction with the message track, it can render you so relaxed that you are unable to focus clearly on building your recording. You may find yourself listening to the track and forgetting about what you were intending to accomplish. For this reason, it is suggested that you restrict your exposure to any brainwave track to a minimum. Even if the track you are creating is designed to move between different states (alpha, theta, delta), you need only listen to each segment for at most a few minutes.

The other consequence of listening is only relevant if you have a neurological condition such as incidents of epilepsy or similar conditions. If you have any form of this, it strongly advised that you consult with your doctor before attempting to expose yourself to brainwave recordings. Doing so may trigger seizures or other undesirable effects. This is not only important to you, but also your potential recording listeners and you should provide a disclaimer in your recording descriptions so that they are aware of this. This will also help protect you from a legal perspective.

How Mixing the Different Tracks Affect You

When you arrive at the point where you have completed building the individual message, sound and possibly brainwave audio tracks, you will need to spend some time mixing them together and adjusting volume levels until you are satisfied with the final recording version.

The effects of listening to each component audio track become even more amplified and you should be aware of this. It is important that you listen to the intermediate versions of your recording, but this doesn’t mean that you need to do it all in one sitting. Pace yourself and review your recording components or revised versions in moderation.

In conclusion, building subliminal, supraliminal or paraliminal audio recordings can affect you personally. But if you are aware of the potential side-effects and manage yourself appropriately, then these will not affect you undesirably. It may even help you in being able to create your recordings in a faster and more effective manner.
