When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band. In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials. Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands? -- Katrin Schneider Tape trading list upon request. SASE required for international mail.

Unit 6! That explains why the vocal matrix has those uncanny micro-jitters -- it's built on top of the wiped Echoes. -- === Anton Smirnov === Dept of Electrical Engineering, UUNET Technologies, Falls Church VA "There are 14 nodes and only 10 countries.
