Antonio,

In recommending tuning forks I was merely making the point that ANY two sound sources that are relatively clean and a consistent number of hertz apart can be used for binaural beats.  Thereare a few things that may make your experience easier and more productive.

First off, step between frequencies and never ramp.  Entrainment takes a few minutes to happen (like 5 or so) on a stable frequency.  A ramping frequency gives the brain nothing to entrain on since the frequency is constantly changing.  This is a reason that some people have trouble entraining on files found in the library.  Many are constantly ramping (with multiple voices, etc) and giving the brain nothing to entrain on - any results are placebo effect (or something taken earlier in the evening).  Let each tone play for 5 minuts and then drop 2 or 3 hz - let it play for 5 mins and then repeat until you get where you want to be.

Second - Keep it Simple - Two tones, x Hz apart = binaural beat.  In your example of the 'x box harmonic method' you have carriers at 500, 480, 250 and 230 hz.  When you mix the 500 and 480 and the 250 and 230 hz carriers - you will also have a new 20 hz tone included from the 500=480 and the 250-230.  If you are looking for a highly alert state, this might be what you get - or maybe the brain picks up on the other.  If you are ramping from 15 hz to 8 hz, your brain will choose the stable 20 hz to entrain on.  Also what is a 'normal binaural'?  A binaural is a sub-audible tone produced by mixing 2 audible tones (carriers), one into each ear and the mixing is done by the brain.

As far as subliminals, while the other than conscious does work without the constraints of human language, it does understand it and keeps track of what is said as well as body language, inflection and other factors in communication.  It is the ability to transcend human language that allows the other than conscious to operate at super high speeds at breaking the codes used to mask subliminal suggestions in print, audio and visual messages.  As the messages and the keys are discovered they are filed away and used to create your belief structures that influence your behaviors and view of reality.  That said, I am always interested in hearing about new methods that seem to work.    In all honesty though, you need to find work in a place other than a bar if you wish to remain clean and sober.  One week can be done on will power and placebo effect.  Two years is still done day by day for many.  Don't kid yourself, if alcohol was your mistress then she's not done with you yet and keeping her close is no way to end it.  Geta job where the sights, sounds and smells are there to constantly beat on your will power.  Sooner or later you'll hit one of life's bumps and they'll crash down.

As far as money - use open source.  Usually better quality anyway.  Try downloading Audacity and reading the help files.
