My home spa in progress

allezhopI started putting together my vibroacoustic bed - a setup where you listen to relaxing music /binaural beats and feel the frequency vibrate through the bed for relaxation purposes - build last night, and it went pretty well. I got farther than I expected. I was just planning to get everything out of the boxes and make sure I had the parts. Before I knew it, I was connecting the bass shaker to the amp, and the amp to the laptop. Then I cut up just enough of my futon fabric to expose wood to mount the bass shaker. (This wasn't perfect, but it works great.)
Then I hit a wall, trying to figure out how to get the amp to pick up from the USB-C, and my headphones to also play the music. I tried a work around using Sound Mixer, but that didn't work, either. So I got as far as downloading Soundmeeter, but my brain was feeling frazzled by that point; and I had already made way more progress with it than I had planned.
When I got home from work today, it took less than 2 minutes to get everything running the way that I wanted it to ! Definitely pays off to wait till I'm less frazzled. (Give that brain a break from head injury recovery, I guess.) And then I had 15 minutes of deep relaxation, because it really felt so good. ( I would have done more, but I have CPR training tonight. So tomorrow will be in a whole hour.)
I'm really pleased with how it worked out... and that I can do this whenever I want at home, instead of driving 20 minutes to the place and only getting to do it once a month for free.
