BTSE: Anawan Audio

[aneaglesangel]

After reviewing the evidence, I was a bit disappointed with the quality of the audio I recovered from the recorders. There was a lot of noise from the cars going by on Route 44 and they drove me crazy listening to the audio. The guys with the white coats and the pink bus tried to take me away, but I fought them tooth and nail! After going over these, I guess I shouldn't really be that disappointed, the quality isn't that great, and there was probably more that the cars covered up, but if you listen carefully and think about it, these are actually pretty good captures considering the circumstances. So here it is. I'll give you a run down of what I think they say. I've learned more about audio work and have found that it is a practiced art. These are not the highest quality and I've also included some cleaned versions of the originals to help you hear them. I don't have the greatest software and am looking into something a bit better to improve the quality of the clean ups. (I hate the blurps and beeps, but the words are much clearer with the clean up in most cases, so ignore the robotic sounded beeps if you can.) The new storage site I use requires you to download the files to listen, or if you have the plug in, I believe you can listen on-site.

Aunan is a Wampanoag word that means "deer" and we sure were talking about the little critters. Chomping and stomping all over the place, making noise!

I was actually on the phone with Tim when this one came up. I believe it says..."friend.....friend." We're honored they call us friends!

This one sort of cracked me up when I heard it. I had taken a cigarette break after speaking with Tim. I mentioned how they added a chemical to keep fools from burning themselves up in their beds. I also admitted that I smoke in bed while I read. Guess they don't like that idea, they call me "bad Luann."

I reeeaaallllly love this one! I was contemplating with Gabby whether or not the apparition I had seen on our first investigation at the rock was Anawan himself or not. I've learned a few things and the hairstyle of the man was one of high position. Toward the end of our conversation I said that I guess I'll never know, meaning that I'd never know if it was Anawan or not. This makes me wonder if it really was. I believe this says, "I'm here, dear."

This I believe is a Wampanoag word, "nompoae" pronounced nom-pay and it means the morn, or morning. I think it is sort of significant, they were the People of the Morning Light, after all. We'll never know if he said more, a dang car drove by after. To save your ears, and mine, I clipped most of the car noises off if I could.

This little guy sounds awfully young and I wonder how he plays into all of this. With so much history behind Rehoboth, we can't say if he was even involved in the Anawan Rock scenario, or just some other piece of history. It says a name, "Nathan."

I'm not sure if this says, "Comet" and may be short for Metacomet or if it is the Wampanoag word "keemat" which means "your brother."

Not sure why, but this one says, "mama" I almost wondered if poor Nathan was looking for a mama.

Like I say, I don't like to clean or alter my audio, but with many of these clips it did help a lot to remove the car noise. I hope you enjoy!

I guess you need an ear for these ane I couldn't make out a thing, but thanks for posting them. Craig

I played with these with my new software which is a lot better than Audacity. I've cleaned the ones up that I could. I may have to re-record these when I have time, but some of them cleaned up quite nicely. Enjoy!

I can hear them now. Good catches. What software did you move to?

[aneaglesangel]

Adobe Audition, I love it! It's very easy to use and really you don't have to do much with these, except remove hiss.
