Wilhelm Scream Tape Found

Ricardus · Jul 2, 2023

The original Wilhelm screen audio tape was found. It's cool. it has a few versions with the director giving him some instructions, and then we get the one we all know and love.

Hopefully they will capture it at high quality and release it to the world.

In other news, AUDIOPHILES will demand that it be sampled at 384Khz to enjoy on their highly RESOLVING systems.

Nice!

Resolving... ohhh man, from all the ridiculous adjectives they've used over the years, that one is probably the most annoying.

You can find me on Audio Science Review and other forums making that point all the time!

If it resolves too much does it begin to sound too granular?

Or perhaps too "forward"?

Or strident.

My favorite ridiculous mean-nothing term has to be "musical":

"That amp is just like so musical, man"

To which I reply:

Some really "knowledgeable" people will also demand that it's released in the "best format possible and that's Vinyl because the original source is analog so it needs to stay analog in order to be as close to the original as possible"

Also true!
