Even a beginner need only spend a minute to 3 minutes tops entering the accelerated learning state. Relying on external sources is not recommended since it just slow you down.
Definitely don't use the Memory Supercharger in the background while PhotoReading. Some people like having music playing and I recommend something that won't create an anchor.
Quietude aims for brainwave frequencies that are not activated during the PhotoReading step. Reserve it for activation... in the beginning, if you must.
