ARGH I thought you were saying it was trochaic.
I need to hear this now! I feel there is a definite variation between the two sounds -- length, obviously, but also MIDI velocity! I'm sure of it!

If it were just length, the second one cutting off the decay/release of the first, it would sound like a stutter, and artificial. But it doesn't; it sounds more like an echo than a stutter -- the sounds are definitely shaped to be different, so they read naturally. The exact same sound triggered twice ... sounds like it.
― nabisco, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:20 (sixteen years ago) link
I don't have speakers, so I should probably be quiet for a while.
I think remy's closest - the 2nd one is allowed to decay, which in some ears (mine for example) make it sound like a much longer note
― J0hn D., Friday, 26 October 2007 18:21 (sixteen years ago) link
see, i don't hear them as notes, but as percussive beats that reverb and decay.
― elmo argonaut, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:24 (sixteen years ago) link
all audio for television is compressed to fuck because otherwise commercial breaks blow your speaker cones
so the first and second are exactly the same except that the compression bites off the decay of the first hit completely, making only the second hit sound sustained.
it's really not like a big fucking puzzle people. Although I am going to start telling people it's based on the I Ching for "incomplete" because it's used to remind viewers that the show is not over yet.
― El Tomboto, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:26 (sixteen years ago) link
yeah, with a lot of reverb, the second sound will seem to persist longer, but i don't think they are different in any other way.
― gff, Friday, 26 October 2007 18:26 (sixteen years ago) link
oh wait never effing mind, I am dumb, I'm talking about the opening notes of the theme song. Which are to me "the Law and Order sound." Y'all are talking about the interstitial/chapter-change sound. I think those have identical note values (percussive beats are also notes!) and emphases.
― J0hn D., Friday, 26 October 2007 18:27 (sixteen years ago) link
I love the theme song and its slap bass so much.

Her hair is Logan brown Her lips sweet surprise Her hands are never cold She's got Jerry Orbach eyes She'll turn her music on you You won't have to think twice She's pure as New York snow She got Jerry Orbach eyes
And she'll tease you She'll unease you All the better just to please you She's precocious and she knows just What it takes to make a pro blush She got Serena Southerlyn stand off sighs She's got Jerry Orbach eyes
She'll let you take her home It whets her appetite She'll lay you on her throne She got Jerry Orbach eyes She'll take a tumble on you Roll you like you were dice Until you come out blue She's got Jerry Orbach eyes
She'll expose you, when she snows you Off your feet with the crumbs she throws you She's ferocious and she knows just What it takes to make a pro blush All the boys think she's a spy She's got Jerry Orbach eyes
And she'll tease you She'll unease you All the better just to please ya She's precocious, and she knows just What it takes to make a pro blush All the boys think she's a spy She's got Jerry Orbach eyes
She'll tease you She'll unease you Just to please ya She's got Jerry Orbach eyes She'll expose you, when she snows you She knows ya She's got Jerry Orbach eyes

In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate yet equally important groups: the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories.
