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. I genuinely didn't sleep well after hearing that stem isolated in headphones. -- Mike Brennan | mbrennan@illinois.edu PGP Key fingerprint: 9E1D 116D 8D01 A9A8 "Keep the channels open."
