Fact of the Day: Auto-tuning = oil spills

As dumb as auto-tuning usually is, it's actually amazing how much it has taken over music recently. From techno, to rap, to sufjan stevens it's use crosses all types of music, but that's not what this is about. If you want a detailed history of auto-tuning I suggest you read "Tune me up: The official history of auto-tune pioneering." (i hope that's not a real book)

NO this is the interesting fact of the day. Did you know that auto-tuning was originally invented as byproduct of an oil finding software, meant to analyze seismic data? That's right! Thank Exxon Mobile for making "auto-tune the news" and all if T-pain's glory possible.

Yet another reason we should reduce our dependance on oil....auto-tuning
