Homemade Subliminal CDs

An anonymous reader writes "Hello Slashdotters, I am totally stumped on how to do this. I would like to create custom subliminal CDs for my own use. I don't trust the CDs for sale in the stores, after all, who regulates that industry and ensures there actually is a message on them, and if so, what is the message? I would like to create positive motivational CDs, or even recite text from study guides/trivia, you name it, and lay it underneath tracks from a custom CD of my favorite bands. What is the best software to use to create such a beast on Windows, Mac, and Linux systems? And conversely, has anyone used any of the music software on these platforms to actually analyze the contents of commercial subliminal CDs? Any advice would be of use...thanks!"

  2. subliminal messaging doesnt work... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Redundant

    The reason that people think that it 'helps' is that you work so hard at concentrating on getting the information to be subliminal and 'not think about it' that you memorise it.

  3. Why would you do this? It doesn't work by FurryFeet · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Yo do know, of course, that subliminal advertising doesn't work. What makes you think subliminal CDs will?
    Really, if you want to learn something, read. If you want to change a habit, grow a character. Remember, TANSTAAFL.

    But that sort of subliminal advertising is flashing an ad on-screen for a fraction of a second. This would be underlaying one track beneath another. I don't know how effective it is, but it's not a snapshot like the movie "urban legend", it's immersive. Can't actors memorize lines by recording them, and then playing back while they sleep?

    I use a three-pronged approach: subliminal, liminal, and superliminal.
