Changing frequencies of independant stereo channels -Sound Forge - PC

Subject:Changing frequencies of independant stereo channels Posted by: chrisd71 Date:8/8/2002 6:18:18 PM Hi, I wanted to do a "binaural beat "in the music" so to speak. And I was told what to do in Soundforge, but I don't know HOW to do it. Read this someone and see if you could help me: "To place binaural beats into the music itself, you have to seperate the stereo channels, and as bwgen does, raise one channel by half the binaural, and lower the other channel by the other half. For instance, you take Aire on a G String, you open it up in cool edit, select the entire Right channel, and raise the frequency by 2hz. You do the same for the Left channel, only lower the frequency by 2hz. This gives you a 4hz binaural beat "inside" the music." These are the instructions I got. Now HOW do I implement them in this software? Any help would be enormously appreciated :) Chris

After you've selected, go to Effects / Pitch / Shift. I presume from your description that you'd want to check the Preserve duration option to keep the two channels in sync. As far as raising it 2Hz? Hmmmm. I'm not sure that concept even applies unless you're dealing with a simple waveform. If you have a complex sound that is made from more than one frequency, you'd have to separate each frequency out and adjust them individually. I doubt there's any software available that could do this.
