Chapter 42-1 Chasing Ghosts

[Gooer]

I'm talking about the characters in the show, not the listeners.

Oh. Well that was like, 7-8 months ago, im sure they thought nothing of it...

I disagree. While running this segment through the spectrum analyzer, I listened to this segment a few times...
Spoilered for gruesomeness:

SPOILER 

Despite my combat lifesaver training, I consider myself fortunate to have not needed to lend aid to a wounded Soldier in a live combat situation...
However, my training helped me pick out a few things in this short segment:
In one moment he sounds nauseous, a symptom of severe shock and he also sounds like that he may have fluid in his mouth, excess saliva from vomiting or coughing up blood from a stab and/or gunshot wound to the chest.
The labored speech may not necessarily related to being winded, it sounds labored due to pain and fluid filling his lungs... again perhaps due to a chest wound.
The team needs to hurry... Possible sucking chest wound and suffocation with fluid in his lungs. He might die before he bleeds out.

As for the suggestion that this is a prank... No. it isn't. The guys may get up to spectacular grab-ass yo-mamma shenanigans, but outside the wire on an op, you do not fuck around.

I had mentioned that he might of been wounded: i said it so many times i forgot to mention it might of been shock from a wound...

P.S. I don't understand what it is you have done: I'm guessing its good, considering Kc was impressed, but personally i have no clue what it is!

Wow. You busted out the spectrum analyzer. SOMEONE REP THAT! But that was cool. Does anyone else see a face in there?

At least 4

sooo... when Puck was playing around with the Matagun, all I could think of was what if Muldoon stepped up and lived this cartoon out?

It's fascinating, but at first blush would seem to provide no additional insight. Bear in mind, I'm not an audio engineer and I'm trying to process this on a four year old "bottom tier, entry level" machine... but here's what I found:





I need to go over it again and play with the filters and settings... maybe some plugins. I ran Equation by Aphex Twin through it to verify that I'm actually doing/using the same thing others are. I'm getting a similar result.

Y'know what? I didn't, until you said something. Previously, I was looking for the kinds of things that really jump out at you. Now the pareidolia is starting to kick in. Looking at the thumbnail inside the quotation... when Kelly is hollerin' for everyone to shut it... I'm seeing not just a face, but a face "shushing."

Red Shirt, you're the fucking man. NOW MAN UP AND JOIN THE WE'RE ALIVE CONVOY TO L.A. FOR THE FINALE!!!!

I'm planning on it. but...
I feel bad not saying anything about it til now. Not the place for bloggy things, but in a nutshell: Remember I used to live in Atlanta? I live in Nashua now. My stuff is still there. So's my daughter. My stuff is in the basement of someone who is eager to have it taken care off. Current plan is to visit my daughter and have my stuff addressed by the end of February. Current plan version might leave me with some extra funds for LA... I can't even half heatedly commit until after that.

P.S. I don't understand what it is you have done: I'm guessing its good, considering Kc was impressed, but personally i have no clue what it is!

OK, so when you are looking at an oscilloscope reading of audio, say from the visualization effect in a media player, you are looking at a composite of all of the frequencies present in a linear, one dimensional, second by second snapshot of the wave form. Spectral analysis breaks down the audio into frequency ranges and displays them separately from one another. It is a more two dimensional, over time graphical representation of the audio. It is a tool that to my understanding, is most often used in audio forensics, though musical groups like Nine Inch Nails and Aphex Twin have been known to "hide" images in audio that are viewable with these sorts of analyzers.
