Automatic level-dependent pitch correction of digital audio

A system comprising:

• a computing system comprising one or more processors and a data storage system in communication with the one or more processors, wherein the data storage system comprises instructions thereon that, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the one or more processors to:
• receive a digital audio signal from a recorded audio file;
• analyze the digital audio signal to identify pitch distortion caused by changes in momentary sound level;
• determine an amount of compensation of the audio signal to correct the identified pitch distortion;
• dynamically adjust the digital audio signal by the compensation amount to correct the identified pitch distortion;
• and
• output the digital audio signal to an audio transducer device of a listener to improve a listening experience for the listener of the recorded audio file.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by computers, cause the computers to perform operations of:

• receiving a digital audio signal from a recorded audio file;
• analyzing the digital audio signal to identify pitch distortion caused by changes in momentary sound level;
• determining an amount of compensation of the audio signal to correct the identified pitch distortion;
• dynamically adjusting the digital audio signal by the compensation amount to correct the identified pitch distortion;
• and
• outputting the digital audio signal to an audio transducer device of a listener to improve a listening experience for the listener of the recorded audio file.
