Tatakata,

After looking through your posts on this thread, I couldn't help but notice that you haven't taken a single stance on the issue of whether or not the video you posted is a splice. It seems as if all you're trying to do is lay the groundwork for a huge argument. If this isn't the case, then by all means prove me wrong. Based off the information everyone else has submitted, why don't you go ahead and tell us what you think?

This is clearly Manny and Manny/Dave Bamonte!

You all need to clean your ears out.

My guess is that the late night cleaning crew at the factory got their hands on some Rajas and filmed this deception.

What an outrage!

I think it clearly is not Manny and Dave. I'm surprised we all hear different things.

Maybe we should argue about a mouthpiece like old times

Sherlock,

My initial reaction is the video is spliced based on what I hear and SEE.

Thank you Tatakata for being the "voice of reason."

Bravo!

In another thread about Eclipse MR I showed how tatakata is a troll so now he bashes Monette.

This is clearly someone that invents a name just to cause trouble. I'm sure that he or she has a different name on the site. I have seen this before. They come in and make a few good posts and then start the trouble. Then they disappear. No big deal for them because they have a different name.

Usually when some one is new they are a little shy. Think back to your first couple of posts.

Here is his/her first post "Thank you for that video."
No, "I'm new" or "I just found this place."

Here is the second post "Really cool Derek. What program did you use to put all those pictures together?" Like he/ she has known us all along.

Just a troll looking to start trouble and disappear like so many others.

So the fact that the guy in the youtube video of Mahler 8 chips the first attack doesn't do it for you? What about how Manny puts more of an emphasis on the F natural (the fifth note of the excerpt)? And even though there are TONS of videos on youtube and google where the video and audio don't line up, you think that makes this one automatically a fake? Using your logic, I've found a couple of other fakes already. Look at these jokers! That guy's obviously wearing a maynard costume, and those are the fakest blue devil uniforms I've ever seen. They're not even blue! Good thing you were here to start us on the path to finding all these frauds!

Judging by what I SEE here, the only way you can argue your point is by insulting my intelligence. I'm done here. I've made my point.

I found your first post B15M. Very suspicious

Instead of attacking each other, and being immature (as all these threads seem to go...guess there's a reason I only mostly lurk on these sites anymore), why doesn't someone who knows Dave and company (Trent?) e-mail one of them the link, and ask who these guys are. If they are legit Raja players, I'm sure they'd immediately know the answer.

FWIW, I think they sound pretty good...but I'm inclined to think that it's actually them, and not Manny Laureano and Dave Bamonte. Manny plays with more front on his attack. That being said, there are some great audio editors out there that this could be fussed with, but I think it's legit.
