Need multiple audio tracks playing to maximize enjoyment and to further challenge my listening & comprehension skills

[Naer]

Used to just have one audio track playing. Either a song on youtube or internet radio, or a podcast or documentary or video game audio. Just one at a time

Now I've tried combining them. Using my PC's multi tasking capabilities to it's potential

Currently have a Korean song playing, while playing an Ai motivational video, both outputted to same headphones.

May try three audio tracks sometime in the future, maybe four.

The tracks sound rather interesting when combined, regardless whether some of the tracks are musical related or not.

Also use my audio interface's nob to change the volume levels and use the volume bar to change levels on individual webpage windows.

One time I somehow ended up opening a shit ton of vlc instances each playing something different. My cat was on my bed, and she pinned her ears back, and had a 'WTF?!' look on her face. I still think of that every so often.

BTW, "multitasking" is bullshit. That's a way of doing a bunch of stuff halfassed instead of doing one thing right. Anyone that says they can "multitask" is either delusional, or a liar.

I do not consider listening from multiple audio sources as multitasking because it isn't you inputting.

My PC is multitasking, I am not.

I feel it challenges my listening skills if there's a bunch of things going on. Seems chaotic but it does sound very nice and unique when you blend it all together.

Your cat may not like a bunch of audio since they are more primitive and less secure. Bunch of things going on can be dangerous when you need to be looking out for dangers or when it needs to catch prey.

I've always listened to multi tracks but it was always music related. Discovered adding lectures, movies, videos, youtube, asmrs, and all other non musical audio with music. Sounds very unique when they are blended together.

I've been blending ASMR sounds (mic scratching, tapping) with minimalist ambient music recently. It's sooo good. Maybe some insect noises too. 3 different videos playing.

Hmmmm. Back in the day we would get stoned and watch TV with the sound down, and the stereo on. Pretty cool but but that's audio/visual, not what you're saying.

That's more creating a soundscape. I have an android program that does that, but I don't really use it.

Sounds terrible. There's a lot of good music out there that already has enough different layers/tracks one can enjoy rather than cramming your earholes with a cacophonous din.

Something like this is cool, but the rain & effects are turned up too high.

Why would you intentionally make your brain work harder?
