Audio recordings of the final conversations between pilots of the missing Malaysian jet and teams of air traffic controllers on the ground were "edited" before they were made public, voice experts say.
The tapes also appear to be recorded by at least two different audio sources, one of which may have been a digital recorder held up to a speaker, they said.
The analysts cautioned that their observations don't necessarily imply anything about the investigation into the missing flight.
The quality and brevity of the interactions between the cockpit and controllers made it impossible to glean any information about the pilots' state of mind before the plane disappeared, or even to determine whether both the pilot and co-pilot were speaking or if just one can be heard.
The audio recordings were published Thursday for the first time as part of a preliminary report by Malaysian authorities. In the report, Malaysia's Air Accident Investigation Bureau said a lack of real-time tracking devices caused "significant difficulty" in the hunt for MH 370, which disappeared March 8.
Listen to Air Traffic Control Interaction With Flight MH370 NBC News
Analysts who listened to the recordings for NBC News did not know why they were edited, but discovered at least four clear breaks in the audio that indicated edits.
"It's very strange," said audio-video forensic expert and registered investigator Ed Primeau of Primeau Forensics, who has analyzed hundreds of audio recordings. He said the beginning and end of the recording are high-quality with a low noise floor, meaning ambient background noise is almost silent, unlike the middle.

NBC would know all about editing tapes.
Ask George Zimmerman.
The recordings with transcript are here. It appears they just may have edited out the dead space:

Since this flight is flown on a daily basis it would be interesting to compare these with other flights that Captain Shah has flown particularly this last part:
01:07:55 MAS370Malaysian...Three Seven Zero maintaining level three five zero
01:08:00 ATCMalaysian Three Seven Zero
01:19:24 ATCMalaysian Three Seven Zero contact Ho Chi Minh 120 decimal 9 Good Night
01:19:29 MAS370Good Night Malaysian Three Seven Zero
Is that 11:24 minute gap between levelling off and handing off without response from MAS370 normal???
No such edited audio from KLATC that I heard of. AFAIK there are 11 Al Queda terrorists arrested in Kuala Lumpur in connection with MH370 disappearance. The problem is, Malaysia predominantly Muslims, some ROP's, bla-bla-blah...
The gap in the tape is the exact same length as Arlo Guthrie’s Alice’s Restaurant, an album Nixon actually had in the White House. Coincidence? Hmmm.
Yeh -- I listened to it again as I read the transcript and it appears that this is much ado about nothing. They reduced a 32 minute recording to 48 seconds by editing out the dead air on the tape at 4 different places -- that's all. This is a non-story.
The audio recording is only partial instead of all radio communications between MH370 and ATC from clearance delivery up to Subang ARTCC telling pilots to contact Viet Cong ATC.
