I would like to know something more about the content of the "Genius Mind" package, it would be great if somebody who has allready tested it would share his impressions.

Thanks in advance

I was curious about playing these on an IPod.
I ordered a couple of Paraliminals and listened to them on my IPod and while listening to them was interesting I didn't get that much out of them.
I also did not know about Holosync technology at the time. However,now I am ordering the Holosync product and what I read on their site said you could only rip it down in AIFF format.
Is Steve using AIFF format for the paraliminals?

I dont know how Steve did it, but i called and spoke with centerpoint and spoke to their sound guy. He said you can also use windows lossless format which is a wma format.

They had it listed on their fqa page.
Centerpointe Research Institute: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can I listen to Holosync using a Digital Music Player, iPod, or MP3 Player?

Simple Answer:

We don't recommend compressed formats like mp3 for your Holosync/Autofonix soundtracks. Compression can diminish the effectiveness of some binaural beat technologies like Holosync.

You can copy your Holosync/Autofonix soundtracks to your iPod or other media device using the following audio file formats without losing effectiveness:

* WAV
* AIFF
* FLAC
* APE (Monkey's Audio)
* SHN

Note that the above list includes commonly used lossless or uncompressed file formats. Your media player may support other formats not listed.

(Not all formats listed are supported by all media devices. See your owner's manual or help menu for your media device to determine which formats yours supports and how to make the necessary changes to your media player settings when converting audio files.)

I riped everything via wma lossless and it works great. This and AIFF were the 2 two centerpoint makers of holosync recommeneded the most. I called them because i wanted to know if you have to use lossless wma or just wma. He said lossless is best but regular will work at lower levels.

paraliminals (and even the first couple of levels of holosync) are fine for playback at .mp3 compression levels (this was addressed on holosync's faq page, and probably somewhere on this forum as well).

i rip all of my paraliminals to itunes in apple's aac format, simply because that's how i rip all of my music. i can tell a little bit of difference in sound quality (but i'm a recording musician), but nothing that would impact the effectiveness of the technique.

uncompressed audio will be exactly the same as the cd, but it eats tons of memory and is unnecessary for paraliminals.

I ripped all my paraliminals with iTunes in 192K VBR AAC, including the new Sonic Access, and to my ears they sound fine. I can hear the holosync entrainment etc. I think one could probably get away with the default 128K, but I wanted to make sure I didn't lose anything.

I don't mean to be pushy, but doesn't Steve usually give us the run down of a product and why he's recommending it before he does? I don't really have enough info to be interested right now.

Just in case you missed it, there was a link to his original write-up in the first and third paragraphs. It looked in-depth to me.

He was talking about the Genius Mind DVD, not the paraliminals.
