How to Use the Binaural Beats Generator: A Complete Guide

Welcome to your personal sound laboratory. Our generator is designed to be both powerful and simple, giving you full control over your mental state. This guide will walk you through every feature, from using presets to crafting your own custom frequencies.

The Main Controls: Your Sound Dashboard

The generator has four main controls designed for intuitive use:

  1. Binaural Beat (Hz): This is your primary control. It sets the target frequency for your brain. For example, a 10 Hz beat guides your brain toward an Alpha state (calm focus), while a 2.5 Hz beat encourages a Delta state (deep sleep).
  2. Carrier (Hz): This is the base tone of the sound. While the binaural beat is the "message" for your brain, the carrier frequency is the "voice" that delivers it. A lower carrier (e.g., 136.1 Hz) feels deep and grounding, while a higher one might feel more ethereal. Experiment to find what feels best for you.
  3. Left (Hz) & Right (Hz): These fields are read-only. They show you the exact frequencies being played in each ear. They are calculated automatically based on the Binaural Beat and Carrier Frequency you set. You don't need to change them manually.

How the Frequencies Work Together

The magic happens through a simple formula:

  • Left Frequency = Carrier - (Binaural Beat / 2)
  • Right Frequency = Carrier + (Binaural Beat / 2)

For instance, if you set a 10 Hz beat and a 200 Hz carrier, the generator will automatically play 195 Hz in your left ear and 205 Hz in your right ear. Your brain perceives the 10 Hz difference and synchronizes to it.

Step-by-Step: How to Create Your Perfect Sound

1. For Beginners: Use a Preset

The easiest way to start is by selecting a goal from the "Choose a preset" dropdown. We've crafted these based on scientific research and harmonic principles.

Simply select a preset like "Anxiety Calm" or "Focus Enhancer," put on your headphones, and press Play.

2. For Advanced Users: Manual Mode

Ready to explore? Follow these steps:

  1. Define Your Goal: What state do you want to achieve? (e.g., deep focus, light meditation, etc.). Refer to guides on brainwave states (Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta) to choose your target binaural beat.
  2. Set the Binaural Beat: Enter your target frequency in the "Binaural Beat (Hz)" field.
  3. Choose Your Carrier: Start with a carrier around 150-200 Hz and adjust it up or down. Notice how the "feel" of the sound changes. There's no right or wrong—only what works for you.
  4. Set a Timer (Optional): If you're meditating or falling asleep, set a timer in minutes. The sound will automatically stop when the time is up. Leave it at 0 for infinite playback.
  5. Press Play: Put on your headphones and enjoy your custom-tuned experience.
