Title: What is this sound on my tape?
Post by: super-phat-al on March 15, 2004, 07:06:57 PM
There is a skip that occurs about a little less than 10 seconds in.  What is that skip.  It happens more than once on the tape, but not enough to make it horrible.

can someone host this for me?  I have a server but it wont work.  See if you can get the link to work.

ftp://route9ba:theband@host140.ipowerweb.com/bridge2004-03-12d10102.mp3

i figured it out.  you need to copy and paste the link above and add a / between the .com/bridge.  for some reason it doesn't pick up on the /.

I listened a few times and if anything I think the drummer fucked up. :P    I tried concentrating on the rest of the band and IMHO they don't skip.

Either way.....I don't think most people would notice.

Whats your setup? It's hard to tell for sure but i think it is a skip. It would likely have been from loosing digital signal for a sec, deck goes into pause (unless it is locked in "hold") for a second and starts recording again a second later when it gets signal back. I had this happen before and now try to put the deck in hold so that there would be a missing space instead of a skip like that. Then I know it happened and either can fix it or not depending. Is it time for a new coaxial?

I blew it up in audacity and it sounds/looks like the drummer added in an extra beat that was not in time w/ the rest of the groove.   I cropped to to 5.5 to 7 seconds of the track and sounds like the drummer just does,  tap tap pause tap(this is a technical term right?) and the other instruments don't miss/add a beat.

+T sounds good
