Re: Transcription

I know that this video seems to be largely abandoned by now and that I'm a new user. However, I'm fairly caught up on the story and I have an idea. No one has transcribed the 10 note tune we hear in the background. I'm a music person (I'll leave it at that) and I could transcribe this - is that something we're all interested in me doing? Although the musical alphabet is only A-G, it could lead to something interesting.

Also, I discovered this last night and have spent every waking moment reading up on this. I'm a tad obsessed.


PLEASE do. More likely than not it won't lead to anything, but at least it's a lead.

Alright, so the whole thing is a little hard to transcribe - and i can't promise that all the tinkering done with the speed of the sound didn't somehow morph the pitches. However - this is what I got:

F G F F G C F G F E

Now, these are the pitches assuming the piece is in the key of F.

If the piece was in the key of C, however, we'd get:

C D C C D G C D C Bb

So...I'm really thinking this is going nowhere but at least I helped covered one of our bases. *sigh*

I also don't recognize the piece at all, 10 pitches isn't much to go on.

So it looks like someone cracked the slashes puzzle for this video. I got this from Facebook:

Ben wrote:
The first response by totheark "Regards" shows squares of slashes. There's 11, 11, 11, 15, 15, 15, 12, 12, 12, 12, and then it says closely. Going by letters in the alphabet... it spells LLLOOOKKKK. Therefore, look closely. We can assume this means look closely at entry 9, because that's what the response was for.


Damn, this guy is clever.

Even more interesting because the next video says "LISTEN" in easier-to-decipher code.

Welp, I'm off to watch Entry 9 again.

Stupid idea:

"Deluge" featured a flashing fluorescent light. Fluorescent lights actually flash extremely rapidly, giving the illusion of constant lighting instead of emitting a continuous stream of light. In "Regards" the boxes of slashes flash kinda quickly, yeah. But maybe TTA's message in "Operator" and the implicit meaning in "Deluge" (which I may be imagining) serve to imply that that flashing should be looked at closely?

Anyone tried slowing it down? Seeing if the slash-boxes are… how shall I say? "Micro-flashing?"

Not to necro an old thread, but I have a huge favor to ask!

Does anybody still have a file of the Regards audio, sans most of the static? I am not very good with sound (the best that I can manage is to change the speed and pitch!) or else I'd work on that, myself!

Thanks so much for the help -- and if you guys happen to have it linked somewhere and I'm blind for missing it, please toss me the link?

Many many gracias!

Some time next week I could try to analyze it for you and get you a copy. Right now though I'm not supposed to be on. Bums aren't allowed on the computers.

Computers are generally not where bums go. I can't even imagine how you're manipulating the keyboard with that thing~ Razz

It's not so much for me, as another person had PM'd me and I didn't have a clue about it!

Alright, first thing is first, here is the Audio clip.

Now, listening to it without any edits, I have come to the conclusion that it's probably distorted backwards. I feel this because the sound goes from loud to instantly softer to a crescendo. This is a very common thing in reversed audio clips.

All those days of back masking have paid off.

Figured I would bump this thread because of the reference in Null.

Also, someone in a different thread "solved" the puzzle. This person said it was morse code for Jay. FWIW

Was Jay just the key person needed to bring them all back into the game after 06?

The Marble Hornets Wikidot says it decodes to "Look closely". Unless we get some clues on the audio I feel like if the reference was intended at all, it was probably only a "full circle" thing - suggesting "Null" could be the last TTA video.

@Sha Noran, If Jay was indeed that key person, how did TTA manage to do just that? I mean, Jay sat on these tapes for 3 years, right? And although we have an evidence that things might have transpired other than Jay remembers, we have no indicators that TTA, Hoody, Masky or TO were involved in Jay going through that tapes. It's likely that TTA him/herself only became aware of Jays doing via youtube.

I might've misunderstood you, but it's impossible that TTA didn't know of Jay until he started his youtube journey. Most people are in agreement that it's TTA (whoever that is) that's filming in 'Exit' (the one where Jay runs back to the car for some tapes) - and that piece is filmed during the summer of 2006, before Jay even thought of starting youtube or looking through the tapes since he didn't have them at that point. So Jay clearly had TTA stalking him from way before youtube.

Well, I guess my hands were faster than my head on this one. Of course the person(s) who is(are) TTA knew of Jay before the youtube channel. No doubt.

But my point was addressed to Sha Norans comment, which I read as a hint towards a theory, on which Jay was deliberatly choosen to "bring them all back into the game". That is, his uploading etc. bringing the crew from '06 or what is left of that back together was the intention of TTA or Hoody. In light of that thought I meant that TTA "only" became aware of Jays doing via youtube. I assume that whoever is TTA didn't do much about Jay between '06 and '09, or at least is not responsible for Jay to go through the tapes he didn't bother with for 3 years. It could be possible, but right now I see now hint towards that.
