[FEEDBACK] Estim Maffia Property

[jgrants]

First of all thanks for putting it together!

I've tried it with my DIY and found that I've had to crank up the volumen to the max of my amp. For example on the Estim Tower I can only use it half volumen and it will be rather extreme.

Am I the only one? I don't feel "safe" having to do that and made me leave it for now even though the signals felt amazing.

Thanks again!

Try voicemeeter bananna from voicemeeter.com yes spelling is correct. anyway this gives you amazing control over volume, fade, and more, should let you preboost the signal, or bypass anything weird being done by your system.

also watch out for volume balancing settings for communications, in the sound control panel, it crops up and changes things without you realizing if it thinks there is a "phone" program running.

Thanks, but I running Mac here. It's weird that all the other teases work fine. Also tried different browsers with the same result.

I have tried this yesterday, a fun time overall!

I have a DIY

the 2 first girls that "try" to make you cum, a black hair lady and the blonde in the office: the Estim signals are really lower than the rest of the tease. in no way I would ever cum to those signals, even if I boost x2 the signal.

the pain ones were overall good. 2 of them seemed underpowered: the one with the whip (hiding her tits), and the psychologist (the ramp is starting too low, and ramping not hard enough)

no rewards?

I really liked the concept, I would play again for sure!

great job, my critics were aimed at bettering, not whining :)

Keep up the great work. We definitively need more estim-teases.
Tag your tease with the TAG "ESTIM" please, so other users can find it better.

i use this as my link in, https://milovana.com/webteases/?search=estim, then browse from there, as long as estim is mentioned somewhere (tags, titles, etc.) it shows up, saves me some time hunting.

I gave it a brief try. I like the theme but I also had problems with very low signal levels using a Stereostim. After getting very little signal, I switched over to the Tower and confirmed things at my end were working.

I'm really cautious about playing any Tease with very low volume levels.

Tips:
- aim for ALL your signals all around the 70-90% volume area as observed in Audacity before you upload them.
- perceived signal strength will vary somewhat with the density of the waveform. Steady chords feel stronger. Choppy amplitude modulations will feel weaker so can be played louder. Phase shifts are perceived in a non-linear fashion.
- use a common Javascript routine in your Tease to set/control signals consistently on each page.
- don't rely on the Stim box to calibrate your 100% signal
- lastly, unlike other boxes, the 2B can't track any rapid changes.

I don't get this.. I use a Stereostim myself. For this tease I set pc-volume to 90% (standard Win10, no sound-modifying apps), my amp to about 50% and my volume knobs on the DIY to about 50% during calibration, which is exactly where you want your calibration point to be I imagine?
All signals in the tease are played at 70-75% with the exception of maybe 4 or 5 of the 101 signal-files (eg: the blonde at the desk is played at 30-37% as those files are not normalized).

Could you elaborate on your suggestion: "use a common Javascript routine in your Tease to set/control signals consistently on each page"? I'm not sure what you mean exactly. If there is a better, more consistent way to play sounds than using the 'Audio: Play' option in EOS, I'm interested to learn.

I wanted to, but there is no selectable tag "E-stim", that's why I put it in the title.

Andrus is talking about the amplitude inside the sound files, not the volume at which you play them back with EOS.

I had a look at a few random files in your tease and most seem to hover around 25% amplitude, which is quite low compared to other teases.

For example, here's one of your estim files in audacity, compared with one from estim tower:

@JBK this is an incredible estim tease! You put so much effort into the stroy telling and I love how often stim signals changed and how things kept moving at a fast rate. I had collected 4 clues to escape but finally lost to the psychologist who kept punishing me to brainwash me. Fantastic job, thanks so much for such a great ride. Are you on the estim discord yet?

I will say that although the files were quieter in the tease than other teases, it was very well balanced from file to file, I never got any unpleasant shocks that felt out of sync with the volume from other files. I think if all the files were to be increased in volume by somewhere around 25% or more it would be perfect, but I think the harder part is preventing perceived unintentional "spikes" which you pulled off with flying colors!

thanks again for such a fun tease!

I noticed that too, but in the tag-list I get when publishing there is no "E-stim" to be found.. Maybe the tag was removed?

Thank you! The balancing was indeed challenging. I'm glad you enjoyed the tease :)
From the comments I've noted that I should indeed download Audacity
And yes, I am on the discord.

you should compare to estim bondage, a more recent tease you can even compare several files apples to apples. you are right about the internal file amplitude changing, it was done on purpose at one point just to smooth out quite a few bumps and spikes. while I know some folks liked the originals, they were really hard to tune in a tease for the 2b so another author along the way dialed them down to make his own equipment work better.

[hkmonsterp7]

That was great!! I really like the overall concept, lovely selection of models, and some great estim tracks.

I ran it on a ET-312, because it was already set up. I also noticed some of the same comments - redhead trainee too soft, blonde noticeably louder than the rest. On the 312 the pain files were perhaps less painful than they should be, but I attribute that to how the 312 processes the signals. I've got to try this on StereoStim, and see what it's really like.

Job well done - can't wait to run it again!

I was going to do this exact same thing as output amplitude is very low. the 2B will place most files to some extent but even at max PC volume output it barely registered on the 2b scale. To this i didn't play any further as it would have meant a significant output hike from the 2B that if there was something unknown it would hurt.

Was there any beta testing before this was released?
