Default The Power of Autotune!

So I just downloaded the Antares Autotune Evo 5 trail. This program is, to my knowledge, the industry standard Autotune. It's a very simple program to use and is compatible with most common producing programs.

It's power is amazing. It's basically a piano roll where you just put the notes you want to hit and it corrects your pitch and viola! As long as your settings are properly adjusted (the hardest part) and your original track isn't WAY off, you have yourself a decent vocal track

An example of Autotune at work, a cover of Jay Sean - Down:

http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/307417

Thats me singing (I am fully aware of the suckage, thank you). Both tracks have the exact same original vocals and exact same beat. I exported the original and then autotuned it and exported it again.

The autotune track also has some Delay, Compression and Equalization added to it as well to make it sound as good as possible.

That was done in about 10 minutes and I've been using the program for maybe 45 (Settings took a while)

the way I see it there is a simple solution to anyone's tone problems. Learn how to sing or don't sing.

Why?
I picked a song that I know the vocal melody to on piano.

As bad as my singing is, I still feel it's easier to listen to then say, Cannibal Corpse.

Some of you seem to be missing the point of the thread...

The scary part about all this is there are people making millions off what you just did. They can't sing well, they don't write their songs, they just look good in front of a Ferrari with a fan blowing on them.

This was a great example of how auto tune is making a joke of the pop music industry right now (in my humble opinion of course).

No your right. T-Pain is nominated for 4 awards. Clearly the music industry is messed up.

No, this is definitely not easier to listen to than Cannibal Corpse. Wow, I can't believe you posted that.

Long live talent, instruments and practice. Die hiphop die!

Yup. Tupac, Eminem, Biggie, JayZ... They're all talentless hacks!!!

This guy is where the talent is...



Just a heads up Riff > Palm Muted Power Chords > Riff > Alternate Picking/tapping =/= talent.
