First some background and then what might seem like a daft question.
Having now managed to get a sound card that allows digital transfers from minidisk via an optical lead, I’ve started going through many old disks. There’s well over 75 and quite a few are potentially sexual, but I don’t know for sure until I listen to them. The reason for this, is that when I thought there might be a possibility of getting some good sounds I would leave the minidisk deck recording in mono, so it captured the maximum 2hrs 30 mins possible. The idea being to listen the next morning, but often it seems I didn’t get round to listening. It’s quite excitin looking for any unknown captures, but each disk takes a long time and with some I’m not sure if it’s my imagination, or there is some stuff on them.
Many were recorded at low levels with background noises and aren’t that clear, so that means I have to listen to the original first and if it contains sounds of room occupants or whatever, I then have to try and find out if any sex occurred. There aren’t any shortcuts other than to listen to most of the full recording from the original, so it can take a couple of hours or more. Some are clear, but a lot aren’t. If I think I identify possible ‘sounds’ by listening, I then record to the comp (taking in some cases 2 hours or more) and then normalize and tweak to hear well enough. After that it’s a matter of going through the whole recording again and making notes.
I’ve just gone through the process with a recording of my sister-in-law alone in bed some years ago. She was separated at the time, so staying with us. At the time of the recording she was a very attractive early 30s. I also know from other recordings I have and will post in due course, that she did like to enjoy herself from time to time. Usually if she decided on a little self-indulgence, it would often occur within about 30 mins of her getting into bed. Most times after her fun she would go to sleep, but I do have some evidence that a repeat session probably happened at least once. Apart from the sex ones, quite a lot of the recordings I made were of her getting into bed and going to sleep.
This latest minidisk is a real enigma and after many hours of ‘white noise’ hell I’m still not sure. The whole recording is 2 hours 30 mins and she was in bed at 18 mins. Right to the end there are places where I think she’s started some fun, but it might be my imagination. On this minidisk, unlike others, I’m totally unsure if she ever gets to sleep. I can hear her moving many times, which is unusual as on other recordings of her, there’s very little movement after sleep. At the time of this recording she had a slight cold and sniffs quite a few times. So here is the big question for anyone who might know;
Do people make involuntary sniffs in their sleep, or are they usually associated with a conscious action?
It sounds to me very like she’s awake when she does sniff and if so maybe she was having a restless night. It would also mean that she was awake after 132 mins in bed. In that case it is quite possible she had a few rubs from time to time. I know it’s a daft question, but if anyone can help it would help me get to grips with some of the sounds I’m hearing. A slight cold while asleep, my imagination making it up, or a few real sounds!
Apologies for the length of this post and the very daft question, but thanks for reading.

Re: Need help with a daft question
I would imagine that the answer to this varies wildly from person to person. That said, I once trawled through just short of 3 days worth of audio and was repeatedly fooled by that person also having a cold. I checked and rechecked, couldn't quite believe there was absolutely nothing worth keeping when they seemed so unsettled, but in the end there was nothing...
If I were in your situation dude, I'd archive that disk assuming I had enough free drive space. If you can keep some notes for each filename and pop them into folders sorted by person, likelyhood of containing good stuff, or whichever categorisation takes your fancy, then you're still making progress and will find it easier to return to them down the line. With 75 disks to get through, you're gonna need to skip a few and return to them on a rainy day when you feel like a tough search!

Re: Need help with a daft question
why don't you import the files in a program like "Audacity" and look at the amplitude and sound pattern?
I think an orgasm has a typical pattern that snores and traffic on the street hasn't?
If there's a HD or memory restriction you could do it in 1h mp3 files ..
Just an idea.

Re: Need help with a daft question
Thanks for the suggestion and I already have imported the recording into Audition, so that's where I've been looking. Your suggestion brings up an interesting point that makes me wonder if I'm wasting my time with files like this. I don't think there is an orgasm, although I can't be sure, but I think there are sounds that might be her 'playing' with herself. Do you think it's important that the sex sounds have a climax? I obviously know it's a lot better, but sex doesn't always end in orgasms. Down the line when I post some more obvious ones of this person enjoying herself you'll hear that her orgasms aren't "Harry met Sally" in volume, but maybe that's because she was trying to be quiet.TheAdvisor wrote:why don't you import the files in a program like "Audacity" and look at the amplitude and sound pattern?

I don't want to waste the boards space, but is it worth pasting a few snippets to see what members think? Also if I did this where would I post them?
Thanks for replying.

Re: Need help with a daft question
Depends why you're doing what you're doing. If you're working on it for the personal satisfaction of improving material and tidying up your collection, then you're not wasting your time.emmpet8 wrote:Your suggestion brings up an interesting point that makes me wonder if I'm wasting my time with files like this.
Given how rare subtle solo recordings are, I think it's highly unlikely that anyone will say "nah, don't bother posting anymore of those". If they do, they'll have me to answer toemmpet8 wrote:I don't want to waste the boards space, but is it worth pasting a few snippets to see what members think?

Good question. There isn't a specific section for this subtle solo stuff because frankly we haven't received enough of it to justify creating one. Yeppie posted his most recent run of luck in Members, so follow his lead I guess.emmpet8 wrote:Also if I did this where would I post them?

Re: Need help with a daft question
Hmm, good question whether there should be a climax (orgasm) or not.
For me personally: definitely yes!
This is the clear signal that really something's happening. I give you an example. Years ago I was sitting on the toilet and the girl in the appartment downstairs moaned. So I thought: wow, she's having sex in the bathroom and was immediately aroused. It sounded good: moaning from time to time. The suddenly I heared the toilet flushing - and I thought: ohh, maybe it was just hard to get everything out on the toilet.
So climax is the proof somebody's acutally doing it.

Re: Need help with a daft question
Girl i used to see what a terrible snor-er. One day I was up watching tv after she fell asleep and swear it sounded like she was moaning in bliss. Open the bedroom door and she was out cold sawing logs. Ears hear what the mind wants to believe

Re: Need help with a daft question
Couldn't agree more with that sentiment.Ears hear what the mind wants to believe
My original question was related to her ocassioanal sniffs that were caused by a slight cold. To me it sounded like she was awake. When I get round to it, I'm going to take sc0tt-uk's advice and post a few bits in the Members section, so people can judge for themselves.
Down the line I'll also post a couple of her, where there's no doubt what she's up to.

Re: Need help with a daft question
If she had a cold at that time, as you wrote, then I bet it was only her restless lying in bed but you could upload the file and give us a chance to listen to it.
