Yeah autotune is for fags (unless used like in the video above)

I posted this in EE chat yesterday, it's autotuned.
Inb4 "well that's different". Well it's not. Just because you want to lump auto-tune with R+B/rap/hip-hop doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Is T-Pain using autotune different from Lil Wayne using autotune? How about different from Imogen Heap using autotune? She has a good voice, and T-Pain (IMO) doesn't.
I don't care how it's made, just the quality of music provided. If I enjoy T-Pain's "bartender" where he uses autotune, does that mean it's terrible music or he has no talent? Who cares, I like it, and I don't give a shit what you think.

well I can guentee that if there was a real voice behind any one of these songs(my computer at work doesn't have sound) that it would be a hundred times better.
no, most of them would be even worse.cpt.fass1 wrote:

I care because autotuned voices (like that video you posted) are incredibly obviously manufactured. If they sounded completely realistic then great, but it's sort of like the 'uncanny valley' of 3D art. There's a certain point where it's attempting too hard to be human and ends up not seeming human at all.Bevo wrote:

As long as you take it at face value, it's not an issue. The video I posted is clearly and obviously autotuned and makes no attempt to "hide" it. It even uses the autotuned voice layered ontop of itself to create harmony, something that isn't typically done.Hurricane2k9 wrote:

It's kind of like saying "metal is terrible 'cause i cant even hear the lyrics and its always so angry". Well yeah sure, but that doesn't make it any less music. Personally I wouldn't mind if deathmetal/metalcore/whatever was eradicated. It's not my cup of tea so I don't listen to it.
I think the "issue" that people are recognizing is the switch from regular voice to autotune (see Lil' Wayne). T-Pain never came out without autotune, so t-pain "is" his autotuned voice for the majority of the time. Taking this at face value, you can either like it or dislike it. If you dislike it, don't listen to it. Lil' Wayne on the other hand is "new" to autotune and some people really dislike that, and I can see that. It's just another musical trend that will come and go like the rest of them.
Fair enough. And yeah I wouldn't care one way or another if autotune was eradicated. I don't like it, but as such I don't listen to it.
Quite.
I think part of the discrepancy is autotune tends to lend itself towards R+B which tends to be more club/radio/"mainstream" whereas the voices that remain "un-tuned" are more hip-hop/rap, where the vocal tonality and rhythm have a much larger presence.

It's really not the autotune in R and B that really annoys me.. It's the bands and people that obviously don't have any talent, paris hilton, Jeffery star, Merly Cypus, and others that get music probably written and produced for them cause of a tag.. It's annoying there are alot of great lyrical people out there, that might not have the voice to sing.. I guess I'm really just saying I hate corporate rock.Bevo wrote:

Which is fine, but really has little to do with autotune.cpt.fass1 wrote:

Autotune isn't the cause, profit is.
