CrazynSanes CANWILD Solution to Alarm Clock looping

I read Crazynsanes tutorial on his CANWILD method. I'm excited to give it a try.

Through the tutorial on the thread replies I've been reading abou the problems with alarms looping, repeating etc...I have an idea.

I recommend downloading "Opd2d" which is a simple to use direct to disk audio recorder. It pretty much just records anything playing through your sound card of your computer and saves it to any file you wish.

Just go to google and type in "Opd2d", its the first site that pulls up.

This program allows you to record anything including your own voice if you wish to use Crazynsanes method (CANWILD)

I'm planning to open my microphone on my computer, open Opd2d, hit record on Opd2d then start my 3-5 second audio cue..."jeff, DONT move...remain still...keep your mind awake...next scene will be a dream!" or something like that.

Now the key to using Opd2d is you have to hit "stop" on the recorder or the program will just continue to record "silence." Although we can use this to our advantage.

Now the problem Crazynsane was mentioning is that most alarm clocks loop the selected alarm over and over and this is NOT what we want. We want the alarm to turn off after 4-5 seconds to allow you to practice your LD method.

So after you record your 4-5 second cue...don't hit "stop"...just continue to let the recorder record "nothing"(silence)...I'm planning to say my words...put my computer in the other room where its quite and let it record for a couple hours.

Now Opd2d records at a high MB range. So I would recommend compressing the file after your done using a wav to mp3 converter(easily downloadable anywhere on the web)...transfer your file to itunes...then to your ipod/iphone etc...

Now set up your ipod alarm feature...and if all goes well, your alarm will go off...play your audio message then turn silent to allow you to fall back asleep and hopefully obtain an LD.

Hope this helps. I excited to try it!!!!

Thanks again Crazynsane!

Just another option, in addition to the idea above:

1. Use a free audio editing program, like Audacity, to 'cut out' a piece of music / sound that you like from another file.
2. Insert about 2 minutes silence after your chosen sound clip and save the file.
3. Copy the file to a mobile device and use it as an alarm tone. I'm using a Nokia phone for this.
4. In alarm clock settings - change the snooze time to 50 minutes (or however long you'd like between alarms).

What happens is the alarm goes off and plays your sound file. The two minutes of silence after the noise is enough time for the phone to automatically go into snooze = 50 minutes (or whatever you set your snooze to be) of silence. Then it'll go off again. You don't have to move to do anything.

Yes I do this, but the maximum snooze time on my nokia phone is 60 minutes, so it's not perfect.
