Mind Stereo

Believe it or not, all of our senses are affected by the computer, or enhanced in some cases. For instance, audio plays an important role and can be used to fall into deep states of meditation, relax, or even focus better on your work, at least so they say. Mind Stereo wants to let you achieve such performances, but also act as a regular audio player.

Since the application aims to bombard you on an audio level with different high and low sound frequencies, it’s only normal that the first thing you pop into is a warning, just so you don’t get into serious problems. Other than that, accommodation is a walk in the park, thanks to the clean interface, with separate, snapping windows for playlist, equalizer, as well as playback controls, much like Winamp presents its set of features.

You can go ahead and use the attached playlist window to create a new one in a matter of seconds, either by dropping songs over it, or using the built-in browse dialog. The application can play URL radio streams, if you don’t really know what to listen to. These can be saved and exported, as well as manipulated to play random items from the list.

The settings menu holds several tabs that can enhance the whole listening to music thing in a few ways. For starters, the entertainment tab gives you the possibility to adjust a few sliders to add pulse, pitch, cross, pan, and L-pas effects to any song that’s playing, making it feel like binaural beats.

Moreover, a 8-band equalizer can enhance any song you play, just like modern players do, with options to add more effects, and even save configurations to custom profiles. The same can be done with visualization, which brings up another window with various visual effects you can edit.

Moreover, an abundance of preset sessions can be added as layers over any playing element, with entries for relaxation, meditation, motivation, and more. You can still perceive the original, with the only thing modified begin frequencies used to deliver sound waves. However, for the best approach, it’s recommended to use some powerful headphones, as well as high-quality audio files.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Mind Stereo is a nifty application that comes bundled with tons of effects that is sure to calmly put you to sleep. It can either be used as a regular audio player, but it also helps achieve different states of mind, given you use quality headphones and are able to relax your mind or heavily concentrate.
