WHAT pitch discrepancies? I hear people talking about "half a tone
flat" and whatever, but I don't see how that can be. If you speed up
or slow down the whole soundtrack by 4%, every single note will be
raised or lowered in pitch by the same amount. The whole thing will
be in a slightly different key, but there won't be seemingly wrong
notes (sharps or flats) within it, as far as I can understand it.
How many people have absolute pitch, where they can tell that a song
they learned in D is being played in D sharp or D flat? And even if
they can accurately identify it, does it actually bother them, the
way it would if individual notes were actually off key from the rest?
