Using Your Computer To Record Auto Suggestion Programs

Using Your Computer to Record Auto Suggestion Programs

It should be the easiest thing in the World to record an Audio File with a Microphone using your personal computer. Every computer has one or several microphone jacks, and so there should be some program or another that would allow you to create the appropriate audio file. I just couldn’t find the appropriate Program… oh, it was there, but Bill Gates hid it so well that it took me an awful long time to find it.

At first I looked in the obvious place – Windows Media Player. It was not there, and Media Player Help would give absolutely no guidance on where to go to find out how one could make an analog recording using a microphone input.

At one time I had loaded Real Player from Real Networks, and their Player DID have a microphone input option which was pretty handy, but I had to buy it, and then I found out that they were charging me every darn month for it. I had to finally cancel my Credit Card to shake them off my ass. And then they stripped me of my microphone option, as though I had not already paid them enough for it. What ripoffs!

So I went back to looking for a Microsoft Product. But those Microsoft Merchandising People are idiots. They know how to force products down the throats of unwilling buyers, but if you are actually looking for something, they don’t know how to deal with it. Whatever it is you want, that is exactly what you can’t find in that tangled jumbled mess which is Microsoft Company.

So I resorted to blind Search Engine searches using “recording audio files with microphone” as my key words. Well, I found two things. “Powerpoint”, for slide presentations has the capacity for recording narration. If you have “Office” then you also have Powerpoint. You go to the “Slide Show” dropdown and select “record narration”. You can go to the “set up show” selection from that same dropdown to ‘loop’ the recording so that it plays all night if you like.

But the Powerpoint application had a serious drawback. When in record mode it would blank out your computer screen and forbid you to pull up any other application. Now, if you want to write up a script on your computer and then read it into the microphone, you need to be able to split up your screen, or put the recorder down underneath the Tool Bar without turning it off. Powerpoint would not allow one to do this. You would have to print out a page if you wanted something to read, and then you couldn’t easily edit it… and who works with paper anymore? Also, to play it you need to use Powerpoint, and again it completely blanks out the Computer Screen. Well, with Auto Suggestion Programs, sometimes you want them playing in the Background all the time, working subliminally, even when you are doing other things on your computer, such as visiting Dream Views. So the Powerpoint application has a couple of strikes against it. But it does come with a pretty good Microphone Tester routine.

Then my searches pointed to something I never guessed existed, but does: “Sound Recorder”, right there in Accessories – go from Accessories through the Entertainment Menu and there it is – “Sound Recorder”. It is extremely simple, but it works great. Now it says it only will record for 60 seconds, but you will find that if you run it all the way to the end of that first 60 seconds, and then hit Record again, it adds another 60 seconds, and on and on ad infinitum. And it turns out that it becomes very easy to edit what you are working on. In this case ‘simple’ means user friendly. It records in a WAV file which you can play with your Media Player, and loop all night long if you like.

...Leo... you didn't know Sound Recorder existed?

Oh well I'm glad you found it eventually

I have a great idea! Post your voice!

Hey I can do that with Audacity. It's a simple program that uses my PC screen-Microphone, but it does the Job. I could add some echo, reverb and Delay to make it sound Deeper and more Penetrating. I'm not sure what AutoSuggestion I will use this for. But when I've figured out a couple of good lines, something a little poetry-ish perhaps, I'll record it.
Maybe with some very soft, near silent, easy Ambient music on the background. I've got a good Synthesizer so I just might do that.

My booming deep baratone rumbles too much.

If one keeps one's Auto Suggestion Programs running in a continuous loop all night, then one soon finds what the Dream Higher Mind thinks of the content, as, sooner or later, a Dream will be structured around your narrative. You might have a dream that some Wise Man in up on a podeum delivering an a speech or a sermon, using your words, but the Dream can disguise your voice just enough to keep you from recognizing yourself in it.

Of if your Higher Dream Mind should wish to criticize, then you might hear your Auto Suggestion Program coming from a homeless madman stumbling from street corner to street corner.

Well, you know the clique about old people and this new technology. For years I did not even hook my computer to the Internet but simply used it for Word Processing. Who would ever of thought to follow all those little annoying menus out to their final dropdowns.

And like I said, you can look in the internal help screens all you like and never find a reference to microphones or recording. Bill Gates must insist that his people be incompetent for a reason -- somehow there must be money to be made in it somehow -- to create a level of anxiety about all of his existing products so that all of these unhappy customers will be in the market for his future products... hoping that all of the problems and inadaqacies will finally be fixed.

But what happens is that the New Stuff strives for an even higher level of complexity, and instead of fixing the old problems, we now have the same proportion of problems as before, but now they have become stratospheric.

Microsoft has got to have problems with its Business Culture. I can guess that people are fired for telling Bill that products aren't ready for release yet, and that there are still too many problems. And people are retained by Bill who hide the truth and signoff on garbage. Bill runs a company of frightened weenies who are running too scared to do a decent job.

Oh, or there may be another Model of Incompetency that could explain it -- we may have a Middle Level of Department Managers in Microsoft who have heard that Bill Gates is looking for Talent and Merit to promote. Well, so these Middle Level Managers are careful to destroy and fire any Talent or Merit they may find working underneath them, for, afterall, nobody wants to see one's own underlings being promoted above one. And so it is that we have the Paradox of Promotion by Merit -- that Companies that make it a Principle to Promote by Merit typically, in practice, destroy and sabotage all Merit and Talent, as the people who already hold the good jobs feel that they must defend themselves from all of this Talent and Merit.

There has got to be someway we can explain the problems America has with Quality and Mediocre Product Selection. You would think that "The Greatest Country on Earth" could come out with better than shoddy crap that isn't all that wonderful anyway, even when it does work.

Yeah, I agree with you, Microsoft sucks.

My mac came with Garageband but it takes a long time to use (you have to export it iTunes, then drag/drop into a folder so it will be in .aiff or something format). Sound recorder is easier.

Adding onto what you said, I tried the lucid remix mp3. My entire dream was built around me talking about this mp3, but I'm not sure if I heard it during the dream (which is the point).

Oh, if you play and play and play these things over and over again, sooner or later the Higher Dream Mind gets a creative idea about incorporating some of the narrative into a Dream.

It is like feeding a comedian an irresistable punch line opportunity -- they can't help but to jump at the bait.
