Newcomer questions, some technical stuff.
Hi all, thanks in advance for all the knowledge shared here.
Thanks in advance for any answers to my questions.
1: Frequency bands
Low frequencies
Audio files and frequency bands
Muscle contractions
5: Software used
I procured myself a coyote 3 with various bits and bobs and a moaner. The DG Labs device I like but was very unhappy with the flanged probe, many stings. I read more, tried different configurations and found some super mind blowing stuff going on. The only question I have about equipment is the tripple. It looks fun but I join the "I don't want it to get sucked up in there" crowd. Any opinions on that are welcomed.
- My biggest question comes down to frequency range. Using the coyote-audio app has a configurable band range. For example, one audio file has a range of 590-660hz but some peaks in the 410-780hz range. If I set my band to 400-800hz I find the player is spending a lot of the time in 10-30hz. See following.
- I do not enjoy the 'tapping' I get at the lower frequencies (10-20hz). I've been lead to believe it should feel more like a 'thrust' but I don't know if that is misleading information or not. I'm still taking it easy for starters, power has not gone above 40% (that felt amazing except for the rapid taps). But I'm having a really hard time enjoying these low frequency patterns. I have read some that the coyote spits out it's stuff at 20hz so I'm wondering if that's a piece of the puzzle to figure out.
- Coyote-audio has a frequency range type thing that I've tried setting min and max (without the plug active, but watching the output) and many audio files have extremely small ranges. For example, 620hz-780hz. If I set the frequency ranges to 610-790 it appears that I might get a more fluid HZ range from the coyote but unfortunately much of it seems to hover down in the 10-20hz zone, which I'm not enjoying. Some other files have huge ranges from 300-1800hz which I will try to configure for a 200-1900hz range but something is just off.
- I did have a session where I found a nice rhythm (pilgrimage) and started to enjoy flexing my muscles in sync to the device. It was a very good time and I could feel how far this can go with more effort. I'm still new so I want to stay safe. Everything I've read is leading me towards a pattern of "flex the muscles to manipulate the plug" -> "your brain will take over, let it in and don't override the muscles" -> "the device will really get into gear and give you a nice ghost fuck" my question is, do I need to increase the intensity? Should the device actually cause involuntary muscle contraction? Is it ok if I have no stinging to allow the power level get so high that my muscles convulse on their own (I'm not afraid of this and desire it but I'm not sure if that's how it goes)?
- With the moaner by itself, I very much enjoyed playing some audio files through the coyote-audio app. It needed some library upgrades and hacks but eventually I got it to work. I am aware of howl and many props to the developer, it's working on my tablet. That is my next setup to test. Frequency bands I have not messed with in howl, but I really feel like this is key to making it my own experience. Also, does anyone have knowledge of the DG labs coyote native app working without 'phoning home' because I have a huge tin foil hat and I do not trust software that forces me create a profile to use their device.
Thanks again for all you pros and sharers of this art.
