I spent last night testing the 14.2x time-stretch claim on track 2 using a 16-bit Sound Blaster transfer.

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.

I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones.

I tried this on my Sound Blaster 16 using a custom DSP resampler. The whispered syllables are 100% there.

Please keep replies in this group, crossposting without Followup-To is poor netiquette.
