FMG - To answer your question, Dynamic compression. Down to atleast -25 DB. I would suggest you do the same with inner-ear headphones as Storm has said, OR a good set of NS10's. If you can afford them, some Genelec monitors. The background noise produces almost none of the phrases he has mentioned, but you don't have to take my word for it - listen for yourself. As well as being an audio engineer who studied at the Gateway school of music, I am also a musician. But it doesn't take an engineer to just listen to the tape and make up your own mind.

Firstly, I apologise for boring you. My intention was never to waste anyones time but my own. My posts have been primarily for the benefit of anyone with an open mind. I only hope that people view your transcript through the eyes of a skeptic and come to understand, which I'm sure they already have, that the bulk of your additions can be interpreted however one wants when listening to the tape. It is my firm belief that you will truly believe your transcript as fact until proven there was no interrogation taking place in the room where the tape was being copied, which may never happen - so I'll give up on helping you to see otherwise.
To quote Jim Penniston's recent comment on your transcript on the Facebook Justice page: "I can't understand why someone would want to make things up like this. I know for a fact why there were gaps in that tape. It came from Chuck Halts mouth sitting in his office immediately after the incident. Very simple, but true explanation. All I can figure out about the person who came up with this stuff, is that they are suffering from ... that common but terminal medical condition, knowen as, “E-recto-myopia”. Having your head firmly placed up your ass! Everybody knows that can suffocate you eventually!"
While it is not my place to know the true location of your head, I feel that it is my place to draw attention not only to the inaccuracies of your additions but to the complete lack of groundbreaking knowledge gained from them. It is true that I may not have contributed much to finding justice for the 81st, but I strongly feel that muddying the waters with misinformation will not help matters in any shape or form.
Rather than attempting to assume control over any one's progress, I was simply trying to prolong the inevitable crowd of Storm Interrogation-tape conspiracy theorists that this bizarre pseudo-transcript could create. I never thought you were unwilling to edit your transcript in light of new discoveries and I believe that it is important it stay up - as a warning to others - not to read too much into nothing.
I will continue to analyze the background noise of the tape as a token of respect and personal curiosity, even going as far as continuing to desperately search for the patterns you claim to have found - I take your ideas seriously, as absurd as they may be.
I don't belong to any clique and speak as an individual with an invested interest in Rendlesham - just like all of you, I have read a phenomenal number of books that I hope will be properly plundered. I too hope we can all learn from this brief hurdle and can find the truth as swiftly as possible. Any belittling of effort, on your part or others, was purely accidental and if I have caused any upset - I am deeply sorry. Seedy is certainly not how I want to be perceived.
It's not personal - it's research.
John - you asked for my opinion, and i've given it. If you want me to refrain from posting on this site, just send me an email.
