pitch correction
Fixing off-key notes
Pitch correction is the use of audio processing to adjust a singer's or instrumentalist's notes to the correct pitch.
Software analyzes the audio and shifts off-key notes to where they should be: The vocals were run through pitch correction before mixing.
When applied subtly, it's inaudible; pushed to extremes, it creates the robotic warble associated with Auto-Tune.
Once a studio secret, pitch correction is now ubiquitous in popular music production.
