It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band. Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled? -- Camila Fischer Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of UC Berkeley Department of EECS. ------------------------------------------------------------ From bsato@tum.de Fri Oct 14 09:26:59 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!brgate!saturno!tum!bsato From: bsato@tum.de (Bruno Sato) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: Data: The 14.2x slowdown voice on 'Memory Hatch' - myth vs reality Message-ID: <1994Oct14.092659.5430@tum.de> Date: Fri, 14 Oct 1994 09:26:59 GMT References: <1994Oct13.131359.2030@berkeley.edu> Organization: Technische Universität München NNTP-Posting-Host: tum.de X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1994Oct13.131359.2030@berkeley.edu>, cfischer@berkeley.edu (Camila Fischer) writes: > I spent last night testing the 14.2x time-stretch claim on track 2 using a 16-bit Sound Blaster transfer. Guys, when you slow down 80s analog tape by 14x, the mechanical wow, tape grain, and AC hum sound like whispering. It's acoustic pareidolia. -- Bruno Sato "5 sigma is a discovery. 7 is a question."
