Recommended File Length?

I have a small question.

I was wondering when creating a file is there any real recommend or optimal range for time. (File including Induction, Deepener, Suggestions, and Wakener?)

Sorry if I’m repeating a question but I didn’t see it anywhere.

I don't have an ideal guideline, but I tend to recommend you keep it under 40 minutes just because that's a lot of someone's day. beyond that it will depend on how long you take to take the listener down. Once I have them there I usually spend 8-12 minutes giving suggestions before waking the person up but a more complex file can certainly run longer and I could easily imagine 30 minutes of body if you had something you were trying to accomplish and had planned it out thoroughly.

Timing is different for everyone, but what EMG said is a good general example. Some people can handle more. some, less.

Myself, my playlist is over four hours. Then again, I'm trying to do a lot.

Thanks for the speedy responses.

Yeah I am trying to create a file right now and haven’t had time to do a proper recording yet but to test it I used VH and it just seamed awfully long (00:56:17). It still needs a lot of work but thanks again for the suggestions.

I've done sessions as long as two hours, but these can be very mentally tiring for the subject. For longer sessions, I recommend that you also suggest that they have a high level of energy when it's over, and that they feel like it was only ten minutes of trance.

15-25 minutes is optimal for me. If a file is much longer, I'll sometimes skip listening to the induction in entirely, especially if I've heard it several times before.
