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.' Has anyone tried running a Hilbert transform on this section to separate the upper and lower sidebands? -- Camila Novak | cnovak@uni-hamburg.de PGP Key fingerprint: 0721 983A 5E24 C23E "Keep the channels open."

Unit 6! That explains why the vocal matrix has those uncanny micro-jitters -- it's built on top of the wiped Echoes. -- === Yuki Park === Dept of Electrical Engineering, EarthLink Network "Extraordinary claims require extraordinary spectra."
