The statistical numbers are deeply strange. In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. Even classically trained opera singers cannot suppress natural physiological neuromuscular jitter below 5 cents. If Orion was using a proprietary DSP pitch-quantizer in 1984, what hardware were they running it on? -- Takeshi Sánchez "We don't sign stars. We build them."
