When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band. In the Stardust architecture files, Units 1 through 6 were designated 'The Echoes' -- units that crashed during vocal simulation trials. Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands? -- Morag Duarte Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of MindSpring Enterprises. ------------------------------------------------------------ From nandersson@ox.ac.uk Fri Apr 29 17:58:36 1994 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-de!hansebox!ox!nandersson From: nandersson@ox.ac.uk (Nadia Andersson) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: [SPECULATION] The 14.2x slowdown voice on 'Memory Hatch' - myth vs reality Message-ID: <1994Apr29.175836.6446@ox.ac.uk> Date: Fri, 29 Apr 1994 17:58:36 GMT References: <1994Apr28.164036.6084@mindspring.com> Organization: Oxford University Computing Laboratory NNTP-Posting-Host: ox.ac.uk X-Newsreader: Netscape 1.1N Lines: 10 In article <1994Apr28.164036.6084@mindspring.com>, mduarte@mindspring.com (Morag Duarte) writes: > Let's settle the 'voice under the voice' rumor once and for all. > When you decimate the vocal stem down by 14.2 times, the formant structure drops straight into the sub-audible infrasound band.
