bipedalist Posted December 1, 2012 BFF Patron Share Posted December 1, 2012 Did you hear me talk about train whistles and distortion, or are you just ignoring that? What evidence is there that there is not distortion. Did you care to read the early posts? Talking about frustration, geesh, hair trigger there or what?

Cool! Your opinion. All it is. Geesh, hair trigger there, or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bipedalist Posted December 1, 2012 BFF Patron Share Posted December 1, 2012 Right, thanks for helping me to make the decision that you can be safely ignored now. Oh, that's right, I already had you on ignore, silly me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DWA Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) "Good day, sir" is sometimes the best response. I use it for Ben Radford, too. Geesh, hair trigger there, or what? Edited December 1, 2012 by DWA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SquatchinNY Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 Just listened to this for the first time. Those sounds are extremely creepy, and wierd. Andy, when you get on, shoot me a PM, will ya? And about the file being slowed down, unless he only slowed down the howls, I don"t think so, because the tree snap earlier in the recording would've been un-natural if the recording was slowed. It sounded fine to me (the snap(. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest FootDude Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 (edited) The train whistles don't sound natural to me. They sound somehow distorted, describe it how you want. Go back and record another set of train whistles then, what's so difficult with that? I'd suggest that before telling a long time member with expertise that they are grasping at straws?! Listen to the background wolf/coyote/dog howls. They all seem natural in timbre. If the recording was being played back or initially recorded at the wrong speed then all the sounds would be distorted.

This gets today's "Thanks for Stating What Should Be Obvious But Doesn't Seem To Be..." award. This is just dueling opinions. Given that no one knows what the centerpiece howls should actually sound like, as no community consensus is possible at this point on what a bigfoot sounds like, doing anything with this recording, absent clear cues that it shouldn't be taken seriously, seems premature. The Chehalis Sounds were coyotes. I'd have the laugh of my life if we re-engineered these in our minds to be wolves...and followup research confirms sasquatch.

Guest Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Still waiting for any further recordings from the area. Other howls have allegedly been recorded, so let's see what the researchers call wolf or coyote howls, then we can compare those. I guess Mike doesn't have any more recordings? I'll talk to Jim and see what else they have. The problem though is that the original was recorded before the trees leafed out, so the audio could be affected by that. They do plan on repeating the recordings this sprint and we will certainly serve what we get. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Lights Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 (Mono is fine, by the way.) Mono is more than fine, he is fantastic. He just pointed out some additional analysis he did on these howls and posted them to YouTube. Absolutely a must see if you are interested in this thread. Currently only 300+ views so not many have looked this over. I would highly suggest taking a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 (edited) Absolutely agree about Mono. He has assisted me more than once, and shown me some enlightening methods.. and introduced me to a great freeware program (Sonic Visualizer).. to help get the most info out of my audio recordings.

Guest DWA Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Those have way too much volume for wolves, if this recording is what a listener would have heard. And whatever you want to call those "vowel shifts," canids don't do that. Edited December 3, 2012 by DWA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
