Pitch, and the hearing thereof
I came across this Adam Neely video wherein he pitch-corrected several classic songs.

It turns out that I cannot tell the difference. I first thought it was my speakers, so pulled it up on my phone and used my airpods, and still no difference. He mentioned a bonus video he put on the Nebula streaming service, which I ahve a subscription to. I called it up on my phone, and there was definitely a better sound quality, but still no difference.
I would occasionally hear something that was more or a warble which I think was the program doing the actual shifting, but not the pitch itself, I think, and I'd not have noticed that if I weren't trying to listen for it.
The video's divided into chapters, with the chapters linked in the description, if you want to skip to a specific song. He also interview his mom, who is a vocal coach, about the difference between singers today who grew up listening to pitch-corrected songs and singers of yester-year who grew up without that. (Spoiler: there's a difference. It's not bad, it's just a thing.)
Anyway, do any of you notice a difference? (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
yhlee, I'd be very interested in your experience! It's easy enough to skip around if you don't want to listen to the whole thing.)
