description Description

A very long, seamless loop of phaser-like sound recreated using Analog Box and Cool Edit Pro. The Analog Box circuit was designed to create phaser-like sounds from the original Star Trek series, but in this case, I adjusted the settings very differently and used frequencies higher than were typically used in the series (why? because it sounds "good" to me). I then used Cool Edit Pro: FFT filtering to extract the lower range -> distortion -> looped dynamic delay -> mixed back over original -> channel mixed to adjust stereo spread. This is more phaser than anyone can stand, so the fact that it is a seamless loop is probably overkill. But, you can re-sample this to get different tonality. For example, it starts at 44100 Hz so if you treat it as though it were 38000 you get lower tones. If you go down to 11000 (1/4 speed) or so, you get a rather different sort of background noise that is still very complex and sci-fi sounding. I originally named this PhaserContinuous5_STTOS_recreated, but since I was not actually trying to recreate any sound from the series directly, I decided to take out the "recreated", so I changed that to Loop here. Its the kind of sound that a phaser could have had in one episode or another, but I think it was generally closer to 45% of the main frequencies I used here. As with any phaser-like sound, this is way too annoying to listen to it for very long.
