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. Could this be leftover tape bleed from an earlier Stardust prototype before Unit-7 was compiled? -- Mikhail Vasiliev Opinions expressed are solely my own and not those of Technische Universität München. ------------------------------------------------------------ From dfischer@clari.net Tue Aug 06 10:12:21 1996 Path: ashpoly!cascade!transat!eunet-fr!teletel!clari!dfischer From: dfischer@clari.net (Dave Fischer) Newsgroups: alt.fan.nova-hart Subject: Re: The 14.2x slowdown voice on 'Memory Hatch' - myth vs reality Message-ID: <1996Aug06.101221.3062@clari.net> Date: Tue, 06 Aug 1996 10:12:21 GMT References: <1996Aug06.001421.3723@tum.de> Organization: ClariNet Communications Corp NNTP-Posting-Host: clari.net X-Newsreader: NewsWatcher 2.0b24 Lines: 11 In article <1996Aug06.001421.3723@tum.de>, mvasiliev@tum.de (Mikhail Vasiliev) writes: > I spent last night testing the 14.2x time-stretch claim on track 2 using a 16-bit Sound Blaster transfer. 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.
