Centerpointe used to use the Silent Sounds method to put silent affirmations on their lower levels.Basically they paid Silent Sounds a fee to put their technology on the lower levels, but have recently started using what they think is a more effective technology called Autofonics.Needless to say Silent Sounds is not too happy with this decision.Anyway, I e-mailed Centerpointe recently, as I'm getting ready to begin AL 4, about ehat was going on here and this is what they had to say:Greetings,
Frankly, it seems that Bud Lowery has some hard feelings about the fact that we no longer use his technology. Without meaning to disparage Bud, it's a little odd that he's claiming to have done any testing on Autofonix since it's not actually been sent out yet. Plus, we had been dealing with so many production problems with the materials Bud had been sending us, that we just weren't willing to risk errors in production with people's affirmations. It was creating delays, and our studio engineers felt that the quality of what we were receiving was not very good. Several times, we had to send back large batches of affirmation recordings to have Bud do them over due to poor quality, bleed-through recordings, and in some cases, totally blank tracks.
So, we don't have any hard feelings toward Bud. We simply decided it was in the best interests of Centerpointe and our Participants to use something we think works better, and that we can have more direct control over in terms of quality.
Autofonix uses a pattern of filtered frequency modulated signals (pure, not spread spectrum) to encode the affirmations. I was fortunate to be able to try them myself as we were testing them, and I'm extremely impressed.
Take Care,
