 		[Trailhead?]Me Whoknows
MP3 with strange beeps...
Others have received the similar email, and as a result of the following exchange, I dub-thee either an ARG or related to something else. Until proven otherwise... trailhead, no?

Original email:

Quote:
from: Me Whoknows <whoknowsme212121212121212>

Hello :3.
I am looking for an email pal.
I have met 1 of your friends!
I also have a song for you to hear.
Listen Carefully.


(MP3 attached)

So, I decided to play stupid...

Quote:
Sorry... do I know you?

Nice song... but what am I supposed to be hearing for?


...and their response...

Quote:
The song.
Listen CAREFULLY.
Put your speakers to the max if you have too.
Also, You will get to know me.


...so I played stupider...

Quote:
OK, there's something in there, I see that... but I don't have the
tools to get it in better shape.

Plus, I have to admit something: I'm 40% deaf in one ear. :/

I'll keep seeing if I can make anything out. No matter, I'd like to
know more... Tell me more!


(For the record, I really am partially deaf)

Their response...

Quote:

Strange Beepings on the song.


My response. God, I'm stupid...

Quote:
Well, OK, yes... I got THAT... Just hard to make out what they are.

It's 1am here, so mayhaps I'll look at it tomorrow with a fresher
mind. I suggest you reach out to more people so that a larger
concerted effort can help you out.

Or something. Wink


..and their last response...

OK then, MP3 is attached. Sure enough there are beeps or something that's prominent in apparently one channel, but the music itself is so overwhelming I can't get them to be very precise. And I'm not that good with SoundForge to do special things with it.

Anyone?

(MP3 to be attached in a bit... unless someone's got better upstream bandwidth)

 		Ah good you did start a new thread with this, yeah I'm running the MP3 through Audacity right now, to see if I pick anything up, I kinda hear the beeping, but it doesn't seem to stick out like I had thought it would. I figured it would be Morse but I'm not 100% sure yet.

 		Damn the beeps are harder to pick out than I thought, Because I hear Acoustic Guitar whines too.

 		First off, yeah, this song was nice and pleasant to work with.. the first couple thousand times..

I'm trying to work with it a little bit, but it's hard to pick out the morse because it's so very low on he tracks. I have to jet, but I'll work with it when I get back.

G'luck.

EDIT: Googled the filename, came up with this. It looks in-game, check it out.

 		There's definitely Morse code buried in there, but damn it's hard to get at.

 		the morse code is low?, as in low frequency(bass) or low volume?
I'm currently using crap-ish speakers right now and its doesn't produce much low frequency sounds,
and what part(timestamp) of the song does it have the morse code?

ETA:

The song is "She could be you" by Shawn Hlookoff.

 		Well, found the song at least...

Quote:
What is the name of this song (if it is a real song), it's from Kyle XY and it is always playing, it was left on Jesse's bed. Adam and Sara left secret messages in it.

The lyrics are something like, I'm haunted by this photograph I don't know why


http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/shawn_hlookoff/she_could_be_you.html
http://artists.letssingit.com/shawn-hlookoff-lyrics-she-could-be-you-x6k12p1

If we find the original MP3, can we somehow subtract the audio?

*EDIT*
Beat me to it...

Quote:

At 0:16 there's a single tone that's very audible. At approx. 0:31 you can hear the sporadic tones in the background, and I'm not sure for how long they continue.

 		B - Low in volume.

I can see about subtracting the original in Audacity of Audition.

 		I've tried negating the channels from each other, but they're not the same to begin with.

Is it... well... proper to go hunting for an arguably illegal MP3 for a game?

*EDIT*
The guy from Yahoo Answers... he makes references to the names Jesse, Adam and Sara. Now, I've never seen the show Kyle XY, but according to the Wikipedia entry, those are NOT characters on the show...

 		Hmmm... It's on the Kyle XY soundtrack - wasn't there some KXY post around her awhile ago? Anyway, it might have been available to download through Shawn's myspace at one point.

 		I'm having trouble adding an attachment in here, what's the best mp3 file hosting site? So I can upload it there.

This is the part where I'm supposed to sell you on my music and say why its the greatest thing since Celebrity Death Match. ...But I'm not going to butter anything up because there are enough superficial, buttered up songs/artists in the music industry.


You know, I kinda like this guy.

On a side note... On his official site, he has a clip from Ellen Degeneres' show (she rakes his name over the coals), in which he says he hold the Guiness world's record for standing on an exercise ball.

*EDIT*
Bryan, email it to me if you want. Will PM you with address.

*EDIT #2*
Asked "Me Whoknows" about the Yahoo Answers post...
Quote:
I see you have mistaken me for someone else.
Although you have heard the other frequency.
Havent you?I am testing you of whats to come.
Contact me. The song will lead you to the next test.
If your ready.

Jesse is the clone of Sara. Kyle is the clone of Adam.
