notes about the audio from log date! long post below:

update:

saturniancat found other uses in diff shows. this implies that this is a standard audio clip used by sound engineers for fast forward and rewind effects. see their post here! http://saturniancat.tumblr.com/post/136967010666



i’m not a sound engineer nor do i know any, so i can’t confirm. but it seems to be the simplest reason? unless… there’s an International Canadian Pharmaceutical Conglomerate Council Corporation out there that’s taken control of the world’s media and has been injecting old subliminal advertisements for the past 40 years…??? !!!



so lauren zuke dropped a hint about the rewind/fast-foward record audio from the log date su episode: https://twitter.com/laurenzuke/status/685731433030156288

long story short

there’s a 1970s pharmaceutical commericial overlaid on the audio from the rewind/fast-forward sound effects in the ‘log date’ su episode. it’s done at various speeds and even reversed sometimes. a google for some of the speech doesn’t turn up anything unique. maybe someone else can find something? i think aivisura were just playing around with nerds like me with too much time.

general notes:

skipped until steven holds the recorder

used audacity (free audio tool) for all this



the audio clips are uploaded to clypit, check the links

1:47s: .25x

forward: a man’s voice. sounds like a commericial: “??? leading ethical pharmaceutical practice. we have reason-”

reverse: peridot: “I can’t believe i just did that. i’ve commited a crime on galactic levels!”

2:14s: .25x: nothing, but there’s def a voice in there, lets try slower

.125x: commercial guy: “as one of canada’s leading ethical pharmaceutical companies we have researched and developed products of the finest quality -speeds up here-”

3:21s: .25x: nothing, but there’s a voice in there, lets try slower

.125x: hmm, closer, but still fast. lets go slower

.062x: the first half is bassy, means there’s something at a faster speed. but the later half you hear: “today ??? that depends on our goals”

.1x: “the well being of the nation”

reversing at .0625x and .1x didnt yield any discernable voices

3:50s: .125x: commercial guy: “the well being of the nation. today ???” speeds up.

4:49s: nothing until .062x: commercial guy: “we are about to launch the first major anti-h??? since 197?. a product that will reaffirm our ?? rest of the market. a product with considerably significant ??”

5:04s: .062x: commercial guy: “?? depends on our goals to make the right move at the right time. we are about to launch the first major anti-”

5:39s: .062x: commercial guy: “?? depends on our goals to make the right move at the right time. we are about to launch the first major anti-”

6:46s: this is the hint lauren zuke gave on twitter.

.25x: peridot: her rant. a good trancript is at: http://crystalgems.tk/post/136936179821

but you can here some fast high pitched gibberish as well. this means there’s an even slower track overlaid on this audio so lets go slower.

.062x: that man again. it’s hard to get a clear transcript, but from what i can tell, it’s a mix of what we’ve found so far and it repeats every so often. his voice seems to enter the mix at around 20s and again at around 1:20s of this clip.

i put this clip through a strong high pass filter (hpf) at 500hz with a rolloff at 24db/8ve so peridot’s track can be removed/deemphasized to make the commercial guy clearer. hpfs block low sounds, so peridot’s slow bassy slurred voice is mostly removed using this effect.

6:59s: .062x: commercial guy: “?? depends on our goals to make the right move at the right time. we are about to launch-”

8:20s: .062x: commercial guy: “?? depends on our goals to make the right move at the right time. we are about to launch the first major anti-”

10:25s: 0.25x: two tracks each in diff directions here.

forward: commercial guy: “one of canada’s leading ethical-”

reverse: peridot: “i’ve commited a crime on galactic levels”



dbdbdbdb that’s all folks!
