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? -- Sven Rodríguez -- Technische Universität München "Do not worship the copy."
