Well. It doesn't work like this.
I'll start with the brain waves. They are putting you into a certain state. Alpha waves are supposed to put you in a common trance state, you may experience while reading a book or during a long and boring commute.

Self-hypnosis audio is an oxymoron. If it is audio that helps you to enter the hypnosis state, it is not really "self", is it?
In case of audio it should put you in the same state as the alpha brainwaves or similar. Now the purpose of hypnosis is to give instructions to the subconsious. What are the instructions on the audio? Do they have anything to do with being calm? Even if they are or if you would truly hypnotize yourself, it would take time for the instructions to become part of your personality. Subconscious has a very peculiar relations with time.
Even when it works, it's not gonna be miracle and change your personality overnight. You'll probably just notice, that, you would be more calm in a situation when previously you would blow up.
Or it would be easier for you to control yourself, but you still would be able to have a heated argument if you want it.
