Tips for Selecting the Right Binaural Beat Recording

Selecting Binaural Beats Recordings

Back to Step 3- Fine Tuning and Using Binaural Beats or to Introduction page of Free Guide for Mixing Guided Meditations with Binaural Beats for Free.

The quality of the binaural beat is very important.  Many of the binaural beat recordings that you will find online are poor quality.  This can be due to several factors (the signal not being a true sine wave, nyquist frequency problems, poor conversion algorithms,  etc).  Another problem is that it may be very difficult to determine that they are poor quality.  Why?  Well,  just because these problems exist, they are not necessarily audible.  To make matters worse, placebo effect can make it very difficult to determine if the product is truly effective.

It’s also important that you have a binaural beat recording that does not already have any music, sound effects (like wind, water, chimes, etc), or voice on it.  Why?  Because we want a clean slate that we can use with our large selection of guided meditations.

Another thing that you should look for is a recording that is available either with pure sine waves, or with noise masking (the pink or white noise we discussed earlier).  This will let you tailor the track to the guided meditation that you are recording over the top of it.  If you have a very consistent sound on the track you’re using, such as wind or water sounds, you probably won’t want to use a track with any masking, because the track you’re using will already have the effect of masking those somewhat irritating sine waves.

On the other hand, if you’re using a Guided Mediation that includes only a person’s voice, you may want the noise masking to help conceal the binaural beat.

For binaural beat recordings, I highly recommend a product called My Mind Shift . I have used these binaural beats and they work very well with a track recorded over them as we are discussing here.  The package contains almost 30 tracks related to creativity, focus, deep meditation, reducing stress, and others.  In total, there are about 14 categories which you download with and without background masking.

That’s it!  You’re ready to roll! Enjoy the binaural beats and may they be as much of a blessing to you as they have been to me.
