I was about to get stuck in, when it occurred to me to wonder whether encoding to MP3 would destroy the subliminal messages. Quote from: StewartR on 13:32:52 Anyway she's asked me to rip them onto her Walkman. (You have an uncontrollable urge to remove the false news.) (Source: The Straight Dope by Cecil Adams, via GCFL) -KJ 13:15, (UTC) How long has it been since you've put your typing to good use? Edit the article now.) and it hasn't been reproduced by anyone else. (You've never done anything better before you will feel so warm and fuzzy inside!) Besides, the sample size is a little low, (You could use some typing practice today. (You need to delete the link.) The test should have been repeated with two brands of ice tea, (Wikipedia is such a wonderful place it would be much nicer if you deleted the link.) or with two brands of mineral water. (Delete the link.) It's not scientific because it does not take observer bias into account. IMHO the "news" that subliminal messages may be influential should be deleted. Does that make any sense at all? (I appreciate it might not. For example, if LAME is forced to use say 256kb/s, then it has to put something in those bits, and that something might be the subliminal content that would otherwise have been discarded. I had also wondered whether encoding the tracks with a high and constant bitrate might be successful. Does that make a difference to the answer? The theory is that my subconscious mind can.) But the point is that the subliminal content is not entirely inaudible. (At least, my conscious mind cannot distinguish what is being said. However I am dimly aware that there is a voice in the background saying or chanting something, but I cannot distinguish what is being said - it's mixed way too far down. Whenever I have heard one of these tracks, I mainly hear just music. Perhaps I should explain what these things actually sound like. I suppose it depends how you define the term "hear". At high bitrate, MP3 keeps many inaudible frequencies.Mmmm. It may or may not really remove it in practice. Quote from: Pio2001 on 22:38:38 I agree, but just for completeness, yes, MP3 will attempt to remove any subliminal content in the file. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. hence the desire for a theoretical opinion from someone who does understand the tech stuff. I would just try it and see, except of course I can't hear the subliminal messages in the originals. So would the subliminal messages be destroyed? I'm not a techie in this area, but my understanding is that MP3 encoding basically works by not bothering to encode aspects of the music that are masked by other aspects. (I should stress that I don't know what the subliminal messages actually say, because I can't hear them.)Īnyway she's asked me to rip them onto her Walkman. The basic idea is that the CD contains relaxing music, with a voice saying something like "You don't really need that chocolate bar - in fact you don't even like chocolate" mixed way down so that it isn't audible over the music but does (allegedly) make some sort of subconscious impact. My wife has some CDs that are intended to help people break habits by means of subliminal messages.
