Did Someone Mess With Mel Gibson's Audio Recordings?

Every day this week has come with a new, expletive-laced rant from Mel Gibson. Audio expert believes the taped phone conversations may have been altered.

In the latest recording released by RadarOnline, he berates ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva, the mother of their 8-month-old child, for not giving him oral sex and screams that he'll burn their house down. "You're dishonest and you're f **ked up!," he growled. "So you stay the f **k away from me! Take care of your f **king son and I better have my daughter!"

But is it possible his rants aren't qutie what they seem? Grigorieva denied she released the tapes. Now some question their integrity......

I watched the video, and he doesn't explain very much. I've done some audio editing and mixing at home, using patch-cords and tape recorders, as well as digital recording. Nothing fancy, but I know there are tools that would let you do this sort of thing readily available.

Audacity is one tool for windows computers that lets you split and combine tracks, for example, and it's free. I don't know what all is available to professionals, but I wouldn't doubt that there is stuff that will let you do the audio equivalent of photoshopping my head on Mel's body.

I saw a report in which manipulation was suggested.It doesn't really matter.If the voice is his and he uttered the words/phrases he sounds,at the very least,like a guy who needs a tranquilizing dart and just might indicate that he's a worthless bum.

... The other thing I do wonder about, assuming the tapes are real, is if he’s got a tumor or lesion on the brain, or something like that.

Makes ya wonder doesn't it? I really hate to see people self-destruct, and Mel is doing it with the pedal mashed to the floor. He's done some truly great work over the years, and all of it will be tarnished by not just what's happening now but what's about to happen. He's not done yet. I'm pretty sure his downward spiral has only just begun. He has a lot further to go, and may not survive it. I just hope there's nobody else with him when it finally happens.

“He’s bipolar. He said so in an interview.”

Which is controllable with appropriate meds. Maybe he's off his meds, and maybe he's being set up. Who knows which at this point?

He could, for example, be bipolar as heck, and still innocent in this particular case. Or fully controlled, and guilty as heck. Anybody know anything about her in regards to mental stability? She could be a factor in more ways than one.

I think the jury is still out on if he fell, was pushed, or jumped. If he’s had help, it isn’t self-destruction. If he’s done this to himself, yes, it’s very sad, and I’m with you regardless in hoping no one else is harmed in the process.

Watch a close friend take a bunch of Ativans then watch him drink a bunch of Beers.

I’t not a good sight AT ALL.
It would turn even Mother Theresa into a RAGING MONSTER.
These rants kind of remind me of that.

That was pretty good.

It also shows how easy it is to alter something like this.

Do you know for sure? We know he has a therapist and that usually goes hand in hand with medication.....

Come on...this is Mel’s lamest defense to date.

Even without the tapes, authorities have the photos from the girl’s dentist of how Mel messed up her mouth with a few punches to the face. The dentist will testify.

I hope the young wife gets as big a settlement as the old wife did.

Mel Gibson is a racist sexist pig, and his glory days are over forever!

Audacity, although a nice enough free cross-platform audio editor, is child’s play compared to what is out there for the pros. I am a musician with a just enough experience to be dangerous, and it is almost scary how powerful some of the professional software is. Think of what you have seen photoshopped and apply it to audio only.
I have gone into a studio, sung and/or played a few takes I wouldnt have wasted a cassette tape on in the past, and seen the studio gurus turn it into something fairly listenable.

Anybody know anything about her in regards to mental stability? She could be a factor in more ways than one.

She hangs with Hollywood and seems to pass from man to man. She has 12 yr old son with Timothy Dalton. And now "accidentally" gets pregnant with Gibson. Who "appears" to be out of control. And rich.

Another thing is if this is the "real" Gibson, she didn't see this before? I'm not buying that one either.

There's just too much here that doesn't smell right. After these tapes were allegedly made, they went to Russia together. She never called police. He accused her of shaking the baby. They had an agreement through a court mediator on support and visitation. She reneged and the tapes appear. AFTER a judge sealed them. Something is rotten here.

To my knowledge Gibson has not offered a defense as yet.

He said in an interview that he’s bipolar. He’s also mentioned suicide which is scary. I’d bet he doesn’t always take his meds. We know he drinks.
