The second to last Bin Laden tape you could hear his o2 machine, in between talking.
I would like to run the newest tape on a oscilloscope type program to see how many edits.
If they edited the tape after every sentence, to cut out the sound of the O2 Machine.
There should be some free programs that do this, any experts in Co C?

=============================

Here's a little amateur analysis...

When you look at the full audio, here's what you see:



The green are spoken words, the gaps between them are the space between the words.

When you look a little closer you see that in the gaps there are some anomalies:



Note that in the gaps there are small "ticks" between some of the words. These are not spoken
words and are not "natural" sounds_ they are probably either mechanical or signs of splicing.

By going back and deleting all of the spoken words, you can listen to the "empty spaces" between
the spoken words. Below you can see a section that is selected to be deleted. Note that in some but not
all of the gaps, there are these ticks.



The result is an audio that only plays the background noise and on this audio, some clicks
are to be heard, each of the corresponding with one of the ticks on the resulting waveform:




This audio (emptyspaces.mp3) is posted as an attachment to this entry. If you listen to it
you can clearly hear the clicks. These could be any of the following:

1 The sound of some sort of breathing machinery in the background
2 Indicative that a splice was made in the content (I'm leery of this as you'd think they could have done a bettr job splicing)
3 Actual sounds created by the mouth/throat itself, which would indicate some difficulty in breathing.
4 Something completely different.

Note that these are the breaths in-between the words so the apparent shortness of breath in this audio is an illusion.

( I've had some experience with traches, and o2 condensor, and even MACHINE that breathes for you, to me this sounds
like shortness of breath AND EDITING, to cut the machine sounds out. Gerald )

That's just my opinion but it would be interesting to see what everyone else thinks these clicks might be.

fyehoo

BRILLIANT:
