He's done a number of those analysis that shows just how modern music
gets modified all the time. Either pitch correction or compression of
the audio happens all the time.

I've noticed this on recordings going back to the 80s. When I play along with
film soundtracks, I often have to push the tuning slide in and make my trumpet
almost an inch shorter than it normally is because the recording is so sharp,
indicating it's been sped up from how it actually sounded in the studio when
it was recorded.
