Analyst: Britney Spears Recording Was Doctored

The Britney Spears tape upon which Jason Alexander claims his ex-wife detailed the beating she took at the hands of Jason Trawick appears to be bogus.

Alexander told Star that Spears' boyfriend beat her up, and she didn't call the cops because she feared a leak. He then leaked the tape to Radar Online.

But a highly-respected audio expert tells TMZ that Jason Alexander's tape of Britney Spears "has been electronically stepped on," i.e. doctored. A lot.

Britney and Jason in a show of public solidarity yesterday.

Tom Owen of OWL Investigations is Chairman of the Audio Engineering Society Standards Committee of Forensic Audio. He says the tape was altered, badly.

So much so, he can't even do a meaningful voice-recognition test.

Owen says the tape has been "stepped on at least 3 times" with noise reduction, equalization and removal of aspects like timbre, sibilance and tonal qualities.

So did Alexander get punked or was he in on this from the get-go?
