I still can't find anything better to program to than Nujabes. I'm going to give this a genuine shot, but Jun Seba really left his mark on me for life. I find myself listening to his albums and songs at least twice a day. I think it's because of his repetitive beats, smooth strings and soft instrumentation. There's a reason there are 10 hour 'homework' edits on youtube for almost all of his songs. Counting Stars: htt…
I love Nujabes too. I also highly recommend Boards of Canada: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0fSIHcxJhECMV53Llj23...
Checkout "Christ." as well. 3rd early BoC member, he's sort of struggling but his music is amazing. He's one of the only artists to ever get an encore from John Peel. He's reissuing one of his best albums on vinyl and is only 64 preorders away from fulfilling the goal - https://www.diggersfactory.com/project/203/christ-curio-volu... 1) Christ. - Pylonesque - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXipXsYg1_U 2) Christ. - Gl…
Thank you much for pointing me towards Christ. I'm listening to the John Peel session past couple of days, it's perfect!
I subscribe to https://www.focusatwill.com/ I would like to see a comparison of the two to understand the pros and cons of each.
Oooo.. would love for you try brain.fm vs focusatwill and hear your review! here's '$25 for life' deal to brain.fm: https://brain.fm/hackernews junaid cofounder, brain.fm
Thank you for this, already had 3 sessions today, it's very good!
I also want to discourage the use of "sessions." Lost one because I didn't change the time limit. Lost one because my computer/browser restarted. I'm wary of clicking things like 'skip' now, despite knowing that I could just incognito it. A thirty or even seven day trial would be much better!
Completely agree! We're on it. :) Definitely don't want you to be wary of the skip button. That's an important feature. You should love the music you're playing. So here's a pro-tip: as an anonymous user, play the session for just a little bit without moving the slider more than a minute or two. Click skip within that time period and you're golden. The skip does have more leeway if you just register. It's free! Plus,…
For me it's just not worth it to create an account for 7 sessions. And paying is not an option either, after using it quite successfully for 1-2 weeks I am still not convinced to drop 7$ a month on it. As a college student that is a lot of money. With those 7 sessions it is not possible to estimate whether the app can actually create a lot of different sounds or not. With intense focus I have been through all of them I think and it was like 10-15 30 minute sessions. Nothing to spend money on.
I use this service for a few days and I can say that Intense Focus helped me to concentrate. Might be placebo effect, but as long as it works, I don't really care. I'll definitely use it.
Now thinking about buying sleepphones to try sleep sound. I don't have problems with sleep, but everything could be perfected.
