I tried it and it sort of worked. For some reason since last evening I’ve only consumed extracts and water, but have yet to have an organism. ---

> [@Budget\_Player\_Cadet](#): > > It’s a control and bondage thing. On one hand, people really enjoy the feeling of not being able to control their own body, of losing the ability to orgasm for control purposes. On the other hand, a lot of people really enjoy the feeling of edging, of being stuck right on the edge of orgasm. It can be a fun feeling to ride that edge, and some people prefer it to actually tipping over. It can get pretty weird, I will _freely_ admit. > > Augh, copied the wrong link.

Links aren’t working. Otherwise I’d be happy to give it a listen. ---

> [@Chefguy](#): > > Still doesn’t work. > [@Plumpudding](#): > > Links aren’t working. Otherwise I’d be happy to give it a listen. Yep, I deleted the beta track. It wasn’t finished; I added a few bells and whistles and fixed a few of the more glaring audio problems (like me audibly yawning during the recording). Here’s the full, finished version.

Okay, first: It’s too late here to play on speakers, so I’m on a cheapo headset. I’ve also been skipping back and forth (I suspect I have ADHD). There’s a faint hum that I think is distracting. I don’t notice it after the hippie stuff starts, but cheapo headset. The recording is otherwise fine as far as I can tell (on my cheapo headset), apart from: Breathing into the mic! I realize breathing might be part of the thing, but it stands out to me. I’d need to get on my monitors to be able to listen more carefully. As for subjective critique: 😕 If I’m ever to DJ, I’m gonna try to fit this in somehow! 😃 ---

> [@Plumpudding](#): > > There’s a faint hum that I think is distracting. I don’t notice it after the hippie stuff starts, but cheapo headset. Faint hum that _stops_ when the tanpura starts up? I don’t hear that at all in my speakers or my headset, but neither is particularly high quality. > [@](#): > > The recording is otherwise fine as far as I can tell (on my cheapo headset), apart from: Breathing into the mic! I realize breathing might be part of the thing, but it stands out to me. [del]Is it just the very audible ones, like at 1:12, or…[/del] Nah, I see what you mean. There’s a _lot_ of entirely unintentional breathing sounds and I should cut out. This is going to take some practice and breath work to do better next time. > [@](#): > > As for subjective critique: 😕 If I’m ever to DJ, I’m gonna try to fit this in somehow! 😃 LMAO 😃 Please don’t subject people to hypnosis without their explicit consent. There’s a reason I put that content warning at the start of the file. ---

It’s just background noise. It’s pretty low, try turning your speakers up and listen to the beginning. ETA: Roger that! I will not hypnotize unwilling subj… objects? ---

A friend of mine who does this kind of content recommended a sound gate, I think I’ll try that when recording for my next file. Also, if anyone wants to get into this stuff, feel free to shoot me a PM and I can point you in the right directions. ---

Okay, so… I made another file! This one is… different. NSFW audio and text! [https://www.patreon.com/posts/fuckpet-17922857](https://www.patreon.com/posts/fuckpet-17922857) Being treated like a human is so overrated. In this file, I’m going to show you how much fun it can be to let go of all those pesky human thoughts, and just be an obedient little fuckpet. Featuring my voice, as well as the voice of my wonderful Princess Fuckpet Ross. CW: contains themes of dehumanization, pet play, and degradation. This file will stick a mantra in your head that reminds you of how to be a good pet. It will also leave you with a trigger that makes you feel wonderful and make animal noises whenever someone pets you in a safe place. Male and Female voices. Full script available to patrons shortly. Again, any feedback on the audio or content would be greatly appreciated. I think this one went a lot better, and that I got a lot better at working with audacity. I finally learned how to use “Noise Reduction”, and it turns out it’s _basically fucking magic_. So that’s nice. Also: rolling pan, gradual pitch shift, etc. I’m learning a lot in this process, and it’s a ton of fun. 😃 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/looking-for-critique-on-my-first-hypnotic-audio-file-nsfw/809977.md?page=1)
