Wenn man genauer hinhört, merkt man’s.
Dr. Andy Hildebrand invented the original Antares Autotune software („Autotune“ is one of those proprietary eponyms like Kleenex or Jacuzzi; other pitch correction softwares don’t call themselves autotune, but people often still refer to them as such, and they use the same basic principles). A classic flutist by training, Dr. Hildebrand ended up working for Exxon Production Research for a while. It was there that he helped to develop a software to process data from reflection seismology—that is, using seismic waves to determine whether or not there might be any oil or other substances worth drilling/fracking/mining for.
