Binaural Forum

I am a beginner doser, and I have done about 10 doses total, in varying situations, times and strengths. I have read lots about meditation and preparation -- I would dress properly, in my room, without having any major distractions on my mind, in the dark, listening to a dose on my bed with my eyes covered but not closed. I can perfectly blank out my mind and zombify myself for the dose, and absorb the sounds, with good headphones and high volume with actual .drg files. I don't think I've actually had any success with any of the doses I've tried, ranging from half-assed doses of QuickHappy to full-blown well-prepared hour sessions of Condition>Acid, Condition>Peyote, and Condition>Heroin.

I have a short questionnaire for whoever wishes to partake -- please answer honestly, and only if you've had success before:

1. As a beginner, do I need to constantly repeat doses until I feel an effect? If so, how many repetitions can it take for a quick or long dose, and can this work by simply looping a dose?
2. Condition is 20 minutes long -- Is it really worth doing to assist the effectiveness of the dose, and if it does, could Condition perhaps be done without full preparation (on the computer surfing around, and then get in position for the real dose)?
3. An awkward question that I hope I don't need to go into much detail for -- I'm a very logical, controlled person, with atheist and nihilistic beliefs. Are traits like these going to make my mind less susceptible to doses, even if I feel I've made my mind susceptible and more free?
4. Although possibly contradictory of question 3, I also have ADHD. I have read a thread about this, but my actual question is this -- How does it effect the effectiveness of a dose if I'm well awake, had a strong coffee already today, and on Concerta (extended-release Ritalin)?
5. Assuming I do get more success from doses, will I be able to reach a point with some specific doses where I could make them work in less-prepared situations (ie. Doing Heroin more and more times, getting more and more success, then trying to do it passively at my computer)?
6. My computer is very loud, although barely noticeable with my headphones in. Although just a slight whisper, it is constant and still faintly in the background -- does this effect a dose at all?
7. Adjusting my headphones while in my ears makes the entire sound sound slightly different, with every movement. I try not to move my headphones much, but will this effect my dose?
8. Do you know a dose that has a very high chance of producing actual, noticeable effects for a beginner doser, that in no way could I mistake it as a placebo or a brain trick (ie. a dose that in no way makes your mind slow down or calm you)?

1. I had to repeat a dose once, but that was it. That being said I started on the strong and very strong doses.
2. I don't know and won't pretend to give you bs advice.
3. I myself am not atheist however I am EXTREMELY logical to the point of being nicknamed Spock or the vulcan by some circles of friends but it still has an effect on me. The brain can be manipulated by either sound or light waves at varying frequencies so focusing on the scientific, specifically biochemical, possibilities of it working seems to help me.
4. I have ADD and they work fine for me.
5. I am not entirely sure. I know I can use the Gamma dose while writing a paper and it helps clear my mind and the cocaine dose certainly has an effect. I believe it is mostly dependent on the dose.
6. I have been dosing when my friends are screaming at the tv playing trials and it works fine.
7. I have had the same problem and I now use over the ear headphones. That has helped a lot. I have skull candy aviators and dre beats.
8. Hand of God would be my suggestion. It is unmistakeable.

1. No, but it is is recommened if you don't feel any effects with 10mins.
2. Yes
3. Your religion or beliefs will not affect dosing,
4. I to am on Concerta, if you truly feel like it will affect it try dosing on a concerta holiday, and then try dosing on concerta or a caffiene pill (I usually don't dose while I'm Concerta, I usually just take Vavarin or something like that, it is a caffiene pill, that helps me to concetrate when I need to for a little.
5. Yes, also with better meditation skills,
6. As long as it is constant and doesn't change it should be fine

@Agent_Smith1206 & SpaceMiNd
Only had to repeat a dose once? This is the kind of answer I like to hear! Focusing on the actual scientific possibilities, yes, I definitely do this, and I am still quite sure that i-Doser can affect me. Knowing my ADHD wont hinder things is also really great, and my PC (it is a constant noise). I'll take note of all the doses you've listed. Headphones I'm not sure I can change, but I suppose I can be careful not to move them. I'm wary of using Condition, but I suppose I can still keep that up too. Thanks for the responses you two, I'm actually rather pleased with what I'm hearing here.
