Song Track is off key flat

[Ron Vermillion]

I can understand how a group of musicians playing a song for recording on a CD+G could pick the tempo up and play it at a tempo they are feeling at the time. It shouldn't happen, someone in this business should have a copy of the original song, and before ever getting to a recording session have the key, correct chord changes, any specific solo's etc and the tempo notated for the "band".

Maybe some guy is sitting in a little room with all his synth equipment and voice modifiers and doing this stuff all by himself, and on that day every piece of equipment he had was about a quarter of a semitone flat. Not likely. I'm just baffeled about how you could even do this. OK eveyone tune down to here ! TwanGGGGGGgggggg. Now that we are flat by about a quarter of a semitone, Ah One and a Two and a Three.
