When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band. It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones. -- Graham Karlsson Practical Peripherals 14.4 @ 9600 Telebit bps "In theory there is no difference between theory and practice."
