In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials. 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? -- Yuki Eriksson | yeriksson@berkeley.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 447D EAB8 3540 EACC "Keep the channels open."

Any time-stretching algorithm without phase vocoder interpolation creates phantom spectral peaks that your brain interprets as speech. -- Astrid Karlsson Hayes Optima 288 @ 14,400 bps "The hatch is open.
