Artist description Frequently Asked Questions How long are the programs on MOODTAPES videos? All MOODTAPES programs are the same length as a regular long play Compact Disc, between 46 to 60 minutes. Do MOODTAPES continuously loop so I don’t have to rewind? To the dismay of many... there is no such thing as a continuous loop VHS tape as there was with audio cassettes, though if someone was to design one... there is a market. However, DVD’s can be programmed for continuous play video and CD’s for continuous play audio. How fast do the pictures change on a MOODTAPES video? I have always wanted something like this...where can I buy MOODTAPES ? All MOODTAPES products are available at MOODTAPES.COM at prices unavailable elsewhere, or at select gift stores and shows, or by calling our 800 number printed on the back of every MOODTAPES product, to order. Does MOODTAPES have music on them or natural sounds? Some of the MOODTAPE titles have music only...some MOODTAPE titles have music and natural sounds...and some MOODTAPE titles are available with natural sounds only...see the individual product descriptions for details. Is there sound on the MOODTAPES video or do you need to buy the CD separately? Each video has its own unique soundtrack that is available on Compact Disc for listening in your home, car or office. Are MOODTAPES subliminal? NO. MOODTAPES are NOT subliminal. Subliminal material is illegal unless you are informed it is subliminal and informed of the contents of the latent messages or images that are present. Are MOODTAPES Guaranteed? Yes. MOODTAPES are Guaranteed for replacement of any product that is defective due to a manufacturing defect. Simply call the 800 number on the back of the product for return instructions. Are MOODTAPES in Stereo HI-FI? Yes. All MOODTAPES programs are digitally recorded and mastered in Stereo HI-FI. How do I make the sound from my VCR go to my stereo home entertainment system? There are many varieties and combinations of inputs and outputs...these instructions cover the most common consumer setup. Most stereo systems have some sort of VIDEO or AUXILIARY input with RED and BLACK or WHITE and BLACK RCA input plugs. If you have a stereo VCR there should also be a RED and BLACK or WHITE and BLACK RCA input plugs. By purchasing a cable long enough ( I always buy cables longer than I need and twist tie them which allows movement of either component in the future ) from your local electronics store or Radio Shack and connect output of the VCR to the input of the stereo and you should be good to go. Typically you will use a dual lead RED and BLACK RCA male to male plug patch cord. Some systems have a single output or input for audio...you can either get a single RCA male plug to single RCA males plug if appropriate...or a dual RCA male to male plug patch cable and a splitter with RCA male plug to dual RCA female input. If in doubt ask your local Radio Shack or electronics store guy...most of them think they know what they are talking about and can walk you through this. Are MOODTAPES good on big screens? MOODTAPES are made for big screens... and they look great on any size monitor... after all a postcard is only 3" X 5" and it still wonderful to receive one... but it doesn’t beat a life size poster. What is the difference in quality between a VHS and a DVD? As with any replicated product ...quality of the master is the most important part... (the copies get no better than the master...there is degradation of some type in every part of any replication process)...it should be digitally recorded and mastered ( the only reason for wanting analog recording/mastering/replicating is when you are capturing the natural ambient sounds for programs that are directed to true audiophiles with a $20,000 Plus audio system and a room acoustically designed to allow the presence the sound possible of the system with no outside interference...another $60,000 to $500,000). Otherwise the average consumer with an average to superior sound system would not be able to detect the lack of sounds caused by the sampling process of digital transfer ). From that point on it becomes the replicator’s responsibility to faithfully duplicate the master, given the natural degradation allowed by specifications in each step of the process. A VHS is an ANALOG tape with tape to head contact along with stretching the tape every time you stop or start the tape in the program. It will sound different every time it is played on the same system in the same room...degrading after each play. A DVD is digitally transferred from an analog or digital master...from that point on unless the process is flawed and adding to or modifying the program ...minus loss of program from the sampling process which is undetectable to the average consumer on an average system...the program will be identical in quality on the same system in the same room every time played unless some radical material or process is out of specification or the disc is radically damaged. Currently for most people, except for the enormous programmability options, improved audio capabilities and consistent play quality...right now just about everyone has a television or monitor that is...analog. Unless you own a digital TV or monitor you will not experience much more end quality than the same master on a well replicated VHS. The consumer needs to decide at what point the features of each format benefits them most. At this point Digital Television is yet out of the price range of the average consumer. Will MOODTAPES put me in a good mood? Can’t hurt...sitting on a beach watching and listening to the waves roll in and listening to the seagulls sing...OR... sitting next to a running stream and a waterfall surrounded by sweet song birds... can have different effects on different people. If you asked this question...it can’t hurt to try...if not for yourself...for your loved ones and the people around you. Will MOODTAPES put my partner in the mood? If you asked this question...it wouldn’t hurt....Stimulating a person’s senses can be very relaxing, sensuous or erotic...depending on the mood you are trying to create... it has a different effect than say an action-shoot’em-up movie or a replay of the 1994 Super Bowl. Can I play other music to the pictures in the MOODTAPES ? YES! MOODTAPES are uniquely edited with a "SOFT EDIT" and synced to a four by four tempo...what that means is if you play a MOODTAPE and turn down the music of the video ( or leave it on if you have the "NATURAL ENVIRONMENT SERIES" leave the sound on ) and play ANY music you prefer ...and within minutes Your music will sync itself to the video...regardless of your choice in music...making your television or Big Screen a NON-distracting unique conversation piece. Are MOODTAPES distracting as background for work, office, school, hospitals, etc.? Unlike most program material that contains a plot or story line such as a movie or documentary that must be concentrated on, MOODTAPES are a vividly colorful series of flowing postcard like images with relaxing and subtle melodies, natural sounds of running streams sweet songbirds, crashing ocean waves with serene seagulls that provide that "SPECIAL PLACE" kind of atmosphere for family time, homework or reading, entertaining friends ( MOODTAPES keep a conversation going without distracting the participants ( like a movie or TV show), work, office, restaurants, retail stores, hospitals, convalescent homes, doctor and dentist offices (we have many dentists that installed VCR’s, monitors and headphones to relax their patients that have difficulty with the surroundings) or for that person that can’t get out but needs get away to their own "SPECIAL PLACE". Will MOODTAPES help me fall asleep? It won’t hurt... if you have trouble sleeping... don’t count sheep... talk to the shepherd ... and enjoy the natural beauty of creation... picture post card images...crashing waves...running streams...sweet song birds...relaxing enchanting melodies. Do MOODTAPES aid in healing? Are MOODTAPES "NEW AGE"? NO. Are MOODTAPES available without the music and just the natural sounds? Yes, currently three MOODTAPES video titles are available in the "NATURAL ENVIRONMENT SERIES" that are available in two different formats: the regular version which can be viewed with music and natural sound; or purchased separately, the "SPECIAL EDITION" that contains all the same vividly colored relaxing images and actual sounds from film location... but...without any music... "PACIFIC SURF" IS A JOURNEY UP THE CALIFORNIA, OREGON, WASHINGTON COASTLINE... ALL ABOVE WATER...LIKE WALKING THE BEACH FROM SAN DIEGO TO WASHINGTON IN ABOUT AN HOUR... WITH ALL THE SIGHTS AND NATURAL SOUNDS OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN... ACCOMPANIED BY SOFT ACOUSTIC GUITAR... OR ...NATURAL SOUNDS ONLY OR "WHISPERING WATERS" IS THE OFFICIAL VIDEO OF THE ANSEL ADAMS GALLERY IN YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK FEATURING THE MOST MAGNIFICENT SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF THE PARK...WITHOUT THE TOURISTS... TRAFFIC... POWER LINES OR PEOPLE. AWESOME WATERFALLS... SERENE CREEKS... WITH SOFT BABY GRAND PIANO BLENDED WITH THE ORIGINAL DIGITALLY RECORDED SOUNDS OF RUNNING STREAMS AND WATERFALLS... OR ... NATURAL SOUNDS ONLY. AND "ROMANTIC CLASSICS BY FIRELIGHT" FILLED WITH VISIONS OF DANCING FLAMES, FLICKERING CANDLES, LONG STEMMED ROSES AND WINE FILLED CRYSTAL...AND THE SOUNDS OF THE SENSUOUS MELODIES OF THE WORLD’S GREATEST LOVE THEMES... AND THE NATURAL SOUNDS OF A SNAPPING, SIZZLING, CRACKLING FIREPLACE... OR ... NATURAL SOUNDS ONLY. Are there vocals with the music? No. MOODTAPES contain relaxing melodies performed by sweet sounding acoustic guitars, Baby Grand piano, etc.. Are there people or man made objects in MOODTAPES videos? No. Other than in: "CONTEMPORARY CHRISTMAS" that contains seasonal ornaments and fashionably dressed people in snow sleds visible from a distance ... AND ... "ROMANTIC CLASSICS BY FIRELIGHT" that contains candles, crystal goblets and roses next to a romantic crackling fire.... ...THERE ARE NO PEOPLE OR MANMADE OBJECTS, ADDITIVES OR PRESERVATIVES IN ANY OTHER MOODTAPES PROGRAMS.
