Is this cat real?

Is that cat real or fake?
I have software that could do that, but it would be hard.
I vote fake.

It would be hard?  I think even the free Audacity software could do it fairly simply, as far as I can tell you would just drop the pitch, right?

It shouldn't take much to alter the meow, but it would seem kinda pointless.  I find it credible that a cat could make that noise, if just because its vocal cords were damaged.

Just asking, did this make you crack up?

[Vulpes Jarr]

Well, fairly hard to match the mouth movements to the sound. Dropping the pitch would be hard, because then the man's voice would be crazy deep. You would be able to tell if they dropped the pitch in just the part where the cats voice was, probably.

It's not really difficult to isolate a cat's meow from a human voice. The power spectrum would be completely different. Audacity has a menu item that calculates this for you directly.

It sounds like someone saying "bo" to me, and it wouldn't be difficult to sync up sound and picture to replace the cats meow. Meow is probably fake.

Evenly split!
