Hi all, I know this topic is "out there", but I was wondering if someone can answer a technical question from a "dyed-in-the-wool" newbie? I'm a clinical hypnotist and I'm working with a client who experiences hyperarousal to the slightest noises in the background. In order to help him to achieve sufficient trance depth for the work we're doing together, I'm hoping that I can have him wear noise-cancelling headphones plugged into the audiogram 6. Then, I would be able to speak into a microphone directly into the headphones.
Does this sound like it will work? Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer me!
Robert

Hi Robert,
Noise canceling headphones work by blocking out a repetitive, predictable sound, like the humming of an engine, or similar constant sounds. They don't block out new sounds, like an unexpected car horn, or a phone ringing.
If you want to block out all sounds, you could get isolation headphones, and then you'd still be able to speak into a mic hooked up to them.
Have Fun! Peter Gannon PG Music Inc.

Thank You Peter, Do you know if the microphone/headphone configuration I've mentioned above (with the Audiogram 6) will work?

I had a look at the specs at http://usa.yamaha.com/products/music-production/interfaces/audiogram/audiogram6/?mode=modelLooks like a nice interface. I'm assuming that you want to just use the microphone and headphones directly, without using a program, such as a DAW. So you would need to verify that the interface works in this manner, in that it would route the input microphone to the output headphones. If it doesn't, you'd need to run a DAW program ( like Audacity -free) that would route the mic to the headphones. Maybe others could comment on this...

They don't block out new sounds, like an unexpected car horn, or a phone ringing. No, that would require some very clever headphones. The way noise-blocking headphones work is by creating generating sound that's 180 degrees out of phase with the incoming sound, so that it (in theory) sums to silence: (Image taken from here). The only other think I know about them is that my kids break them really quickly.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
