Sorry for the delayed reply. I'm trying to be far more active in the online LD community but am in the bad habit of wasting time on nonsense before bed instead of LD which is more beneficial.
I don't know exactly who's more effective than the others, and probably need to try more out. I do use a YouTube channel called Susannah IsThisADream a lot, and have had some success with it. I think my horrible journaling habits(or lack thereof) and lack of devoting enough time per day to other factors are the main issue, though. Don't hesitate to let me know if you'd like me to look at my playlists and see what other channels I have LD-inducing audio from. Like I said, I might as well be more active in the community for my OWN LDing's sake anyway, so I'm happy to reply.
It will greatly help if you can listen while sleeping for many people, because that entire time you're dreaming you might potentially hear the track and recognize what it's for, on top of the isochronic tone's properties that are also helpful. Embarrassingly enough, I've had dreams where I recognized it as such, yet somehow STILL failed to achieve lucidity. It's amazing how bad my awareness seems to be in dreams...but then, that's a main reason I'm on these forums.
Depending on how much you think you can stand, I'd try to leave such tracks playing all night. Or, maybe you could ease yourself into it, or only listen after the first time you wake up(after 5 hours or so for most people.) There's more REM later in the sleep cycle anyway so it's far more likely to be effective. I understand that you don't trust it, but I highly recommend finding out what can be done to keep it from making things hellish. It has a lot of potential as a technique, and if I had my priorities straight I'd probably be able to help more here!
Oh, and I really am unsure if there's much benefit to listening to anything *before* sleeping, though there are more knowledgeable people here than me by far. You're trying to get these effects while you're brain's in REM mostly, so that's a major handicap and it has literally never worked for me--my results got better once I A) started taking a supplement and B) combined that with audio while sleeping. Also, since the closer you are to the end of a sleep session the more likely you are to become lucid, listening merely before sleep is on the very opposite end of that session and therefore way less powerful.
