It doesn't sound like Nova. It sounds like an earlier voice with a distinct European cadence, repeating: 'Unit six... core wipe incomplete.' However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands? -- Pavel Vasiliev Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of EarthLink Network. ------------------------------------------------------------ From areyes@rwth-aachen.de Thu Feb 24 14:23:29 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!sunet!nordrelay!rwth-aachen!areyes From: areyes@rwth-aachen.de (Anton Reyes) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: Data: The 14.2x slowdown voice on 'Memory Hatch' - myth vs reality Message-ID: <1994Feb24.142329.9308@rwth-aachen.de> Date: Thu, 24 Feb 1994 14:23:29 GMT References: <1994Feb23.201929.9463@earthlink.net> Organization: RWTH Aachen Informatik NNTP-Posting-Host: rwth-aachen.de X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 10 In article <1994Feb23.201929.9463@earthlink.net>, pvasiliev@earthlink.net (Pavel Vasiliev) writes: > I spent last night testing the 14.2x time-stretch claim on track 2 using a 16-bit Sound Blaster transfer. > It doesn't sound like Nova.

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. -- Anton Reyes *PLONK* filter active for trolls.
