Listen to this, everyone. It is beyond beautiful.


The Jurassic Park Theme at 1000x Slower Speed Is Absolutely Gorgeous (http://www.hitfix.com/the-dartboard/the-jurassic-park-theme-at-1000x-slower-speed-is-absolutely-gorgeous)

That's an old one.

Back anywhere from '09 to '11, people slowed down music like that using PaulStretch (AKA "Paul's Extreme Sound Stretch") to slow music down.

You can use the individual program from the author or use Audacity to do that.
It grabs each sample "frame" of the music and repeats it until it matches the desired output.

1000x = 10000% = whatever naming convention.
Given that's only an hour, they screwed up the name because they're not smart enough to think things out.
It's more like 8x the normal rate.
Larger numbers is an easier way to draw attention.
Just like saying "Why pay $10 for pizza at other places when you can pay $9.98 here".
It's just a gimmick, as far as naming goes.

Jurassic Park was one of the first songs slowed down.
Justin Beiber and other pop artists were also slowed down.
You can youtube it.
Use "800%" to search since it seems like a big penis sized number.

I wanted to get an album going with a lot of slowed down music using PaulStretch.
Except maybe AAC at lower bitrates since it would be incredibly huge even in MP3@VBR-0 (screw CBR@320).
Maybe V2 for AAC? I think that's what iTunes uses as a default.... except when using "QAAC", there are multiple command switches to control quality whereas iTunes is more like "Small/medium/large penis" settings.

BUT! Nice to see a bump in interest.
It's good to see culture spreading.

Pity there isn't anything that can slow dumb trends like this 1000%.

It's an old trend.
Probably just revived due to the commercial success of Jurassic World.

Since this creates a sonic design of music, it's more like fighting over traditional music and modern new-age composers like Stephen Price and a few others that aim more for synthetic atmospheres (instead of predictable themes).

A matter of it being dumb is not that it is or isn't. There's no defining way.
It's just your way.

I see this forum hasn't changed a bit.

Hmmm. I wonder what RTO sounds like... I'll have to dig up the most recent OST and isolate the theme.
Maybe I should rip the bluray end credits or opening titles and try that.

5.1 slow motion. :smrt:

everything sounds beautiful slowed down like that. that iconic theme from dredd during slowdowns? its a fucking justin beiber song slowed down.

Why wait, go Lexapro.

Isn't is just music composed by Paul Leonard Morgan?
I read an article where he stated he composed music just to be slowed down and he revealed he used the PaulStretch code to do his bidding.

I've been listening to music in Foobar2000 with "Playback Rate Shift" DSP enabled to -7% playback rate.
It's almost similar to how my Sony portable works with slowing down music with pitch.

It tends to make music much more serious and dramatic than it's intended.

I might just create a mega thread on altered music.
Playback Rate Shift
PaulStretch

The works.
ALong with the Playback Rate Shift, I also use Meier Crossfeed on it to simulate a fake surround sound.
It gives the music some dynamics to it if you sit in the middle of the speakers where the degree they are facing, you are at the apex of their crossfeed.
It's similar to how Dolby Heaphone simulates a surround sound for your headphones.

I'll have to work this out and try things first.
I really need my main PC here, too....

Very lovely. Thanks for the link. :)

It's nice, but if I didn't know it was the JP theme I wouldn't be able to realize it for myself. It's way too slow.

The thing I find most interesting with PaulStretch when you slow it down, is that you can catch things like singing errors or instrument errors.
Everything has time for you to catch all the details put into the music.
You can hear it when it's played normally, but hearing it slowed down, it must be how Quick Silver experiences things when he speeds up.

not initially, he did use a JB song as the temporary track while he composed a similar theme. this is where i read it.
5 Bizarre Inspirations Behind Famous Movie Scenes | Cracked.com (http://www.cracked.com/blog/5-bizarre-inspirations-behind-famous-movie-scenes/)

so yeah, while not THE jb song, its still inspired by it, and sound similar. anyone who (stupidly) watched the video first, then saw the movie, might think it IS that song.

A sense of context always produces clarity.

I would have been more inspired by Jurassic Park, so I shall adjust my memory banks to accomodate that pleasnt thought.

Wow wow wow. I listened to the whole track driving through to country to my girlfriends and I've never ever felt anything like this while listening. Amazing.

Anyway of downloading this?

I love playing with Paulstretch. It's great for creating clean endings for songs as well.

Anyway of downloading this?

If it's hosted on youtube, any youtube download service will work.
Either a website service or a program.

I know JDownloader works.
It'll download the encoded AAC that's in the video.
It'll strip the AAC from the video and store it in an M4A container.

I'm currently digging through some BD's to rip some opening titles and end credits to run through PaulStretch.

finally going to see the new JP tonight... keeping my fingers cross that the score is good!

SO BEAUTIFUL

Funny, i just re-listened to this again yesterday
I even made a custom cover for it

Whoa, listening to this as we speak. Amazing so far, and I'm only 10 minutes in.
