Let your creative instincts paint your own Multimix.
Try adding different tonalities, high and low, for example add some Birds for the high frequencies, Whales for the middle-frequency spectrum. Or try designing an “Outer Space” environment, using Earth, Delta Waves, and Submarine. Your imagination is the limit!
* note: if you are on this page because your music has certain unwanted sounds while playing your Calm Radio channel, please check the layers (+) first to be sure that only your music is playing!

***Sometimes using the port 80 works when direct connect is not performing, please experiment with this solution if you can’t hear anything.
- Start playing a channel
- Click #1 from image 2 (the “<” icon) and then #9 from image 1 (settings- bitrate and direct/port 80 playback )
- Adjust the audio stream bitrate (HD, NORMAL, MOBILE) and or the connection method (direct/port 80)
Again for playback issues experiment with using the port 80 connection and start at mobile for audio, then see if that plays consistently.
If so see how high you can dial up the audio quality!
