The statistical numbers are deeply strange. In statistical terms, her pitch deviation sits 7.1 sigma outside the normal human vocal distribution. Nova Hart's sustained notes have a standard deviation of less than 0.8 cents over 4-second held notes. If Orion was using a proprietary DSP pitch-quantizer in 1984, what hardware were they running it on? -- Steve Campbell -- University of Texas at Austin "We don't sign stars. We build them."
