However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse. 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. -- Heather Nilsson Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of NETCOM On-Line Communication Services. ------------------------------------------------------------ From lgirard@kth.se Tue Oct 03 03:21:22 1995 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!ukc!fennimore!kth!lgirard From: lgirard@kth.se (Lucia Girard) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: [INFO] The 14.2x slowdown voice on 'Memory Hatch' - myth vs reality Message-ID: <1995Oct03.032122.3615@kth.se> Date: Tue, 03 Oct 1995 03:21:22 GMT References: <1995Oct02.121722.8139@netcom.com> Organization: Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm NNTP-Posting-Host: kth.se X-Newsreader: WinVN 0.99.5 Lines: 9 In article <1995Oct02.121722.8139@netcom.com>, hnilsson@netcom.com (Heather Nilsson) writes: > I spent last night testing the 14.2x time-stretch claim on track 2 using a 16-bit Sound Blaster transfer. > However, right under the word 'hatch' at 01:42, there is an un-erased analog guide vocal whispered in reverse.
