    My favorite of these is that in “Cuphead”, there are audio files that will trigger if the game detects it’s pirated, namely the song on the title screen, which sound eerie and demonic. If you export that music and look at the spectrograph, there are multiple images of the game’s version of the Devil to kinda say “We know what you’re doing here.”
    Also, just without trying this out to see the image, I have a strong feeling the encoded message in the episode is just the pic of Brian with fries up his nose. That or the “cow butts” photo from the steganography episode.

    spectogram is basically a visual representation of three layers of audio: noise, transients (sharp volume spikes) and harmonics (tonal data). the transients can be thought of as the volume curve of a note initially "hitting," and the harmonic data is the pitch(es) going on at a certain moment (usually shows up as horizontal lines that line up with the harmonic sequence, i.e. the actual notes in a musical segment). the noise layer is... everything else. this tech is very common nowadays in industry standard audio mixing and mastering software, allowing things like isolating acapella or individual instrument tracks, removing noise, or even creative sound design. probably the two most powerful platforms being iZotope RX and Steinberg's SpectraLayers add-on for their Cubase digital audio workstation software, both for different reasons. lots of good tutorials out there especially from Steinberg about what this approach is for, if curious to learn more. iZotope also has a synthesizer called Iris which basically uses a simple photoshop like interface (as well as typical oscillator controls) to edit multiple layers of combined spectrograms, highlighting or deleting bits, setting loop points etc, makes for some really interesting sonic potential.
    now, back in the proverbial day (90s) it had become possible to digitally convert a bitmap image into a spectrogram and play it back on a computer; Richard D James aka AFX/Aphex Twin released a track in the 90s that basically had a low res photo of his face inserted into a track as a *source* of audio; just one of many techniques for chaotically ordered noise and general oddity for which he became famous.

    You could do an "original file" and then hide images by a new file that has inaudible differences. You get the messages, by substracting the data from each other

    Same works in Images too. Any large media file, can have small noise difference, imperceptible, but if you have a clean original to run a difference comparison against, it is extractable data

    A company I worked for once wanted to be able to determine who was pirating their media content, so my solution was to dynamically embed the customer ID into the audio stream. It didn't use the spectrograph but rather the waveform itself. I created a series of peaks and valleys that could be translated into the digits 0-9, and piecing together the correct digits for the customer ID resulted in a less than half a second audio clip that sounded like a pop or glitch. So if they found pirated content, they just had to download it. zoom in on that glitch, and decode the peaks and valleys to find the source of the leak. NEAT!

    Another big thing is sounds that you mess with the phase between channels. Look up the doom eternal sound track. The title theme has screams at the very end but if you listen in mono it plays the end credits theme to the very first doom, sweet little dead bunny.

  • @1224chrisng
    @1224chrisng 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    What you can probably do, to kind of hide it in real audio, is to have a stereo track where the 2 channels are the same, but phase shift one of the channel to be 180deg out of phase, then play the other channel with the secret audio, so that when you play it in mono you'd get the secret audio

    • @1224chrisng
      @1224chrisng 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      there's probably a better way to explain it, it's actually fairly simple
      objective) hide secret audio within real audio
      step 1) get a real audio track in mono
      2) split it up into 2 identical stereo channels
      3) invert the left channel so that it's 180 degrees phase shifted in the sound wave (it should be easy to do in Audacity)
      4) combine the secret audio and the right track together
      the end result should be that, it'd sound like the real audio when in stereo, but it'd be just the secret audio when played in mono

    In either disc 11 or disc 13 or both from minecraft has a image in the spectrograph of a creeper face and I believe the numbers 12418 or something similar and twelve can somehow turn into a c which makes the numbers c418 or something similar which is the online alias of the creator of the music. I’m certainly getting some details mixed up but you get the point.

    Open Audacity. Change the Audio Host from MME to Windows WASAPI. Change the recording device to Speakers. Change Recording Channels to 2 (Stereo). Hit record and play the section of video with the encoded message, and stop recording when the encoded message ends. Then click on the Audio Track button on the newly recorded track and select Spectrogram.
