why can't people these days just understand that it's still possible to be a good singer without auto-tune? like seriously, it's not that hard of a concept to grasp.
You don't have any idea the kind of engineering it takes to use auto tune live. Kenny Chesney or some country singer, Brad Paisley?, uses it live and has NINE vocal processors to keep him in tune. Auto-Tune is completely unnatural. There is no pitch correction on here.
It doesn't really sound like auto tune to me tbh. In the chorus, in the line "And you can't find nothing at all" the last bit of this is always a tiny bit out-of-tune
Still the lead singer has a beautiful voice. This is a lovely song too.
who the fuck are you to tell me what to do? I listened to the song and enjoyed it, and then commented. If you don't like my comments, then you can just shut the fuck up because no one wants to listen to your pissy, moany complaining
No Autotune my friend, Ben is just a great singer, whether he's sick or healthy. I detect some parts in this video where, if Autotune was used, it would've been used.
Probably a mixture of a cold, the recording and the mic which make it sound slightly like it would be, and also that it's not that common today to have singers who can actually sing very in tune.
"At the 51st Grammy Awards, Seattle band Death Cab for Cutie made an appearance wearing blue ribbons to protest the use of Auto-Tune in the music industry.[10]" Quoted from the wikipedia article on auto-tune....that makes me sad if it is auto-tuned, and makes me have alot less respect for DCFC.
are you not understanding what the article is saying? dcfc is against the use of auto-tune. i.e. they wouldn't be using it. no need to lose respect mate
yea auto tune sucks...sometimes you can litterrally just tell itsauto tune, to be honest alot of singers sound like they use auto tune..this one sounds pretty convincing that they didnt thouh :P
something is telling me that at that certain time he was insecure about his voice, and was trying to sing deeper becuase he usually has a higher voice.
(His regular voice is just fine).
Love this band. They're awsom. I have the advantage of living in Seattle. :)
i'm definitly not hearing things, i know what an auto-tuned voice sounds like. and i'm not questioning ben gibbard's talent, i think he's an amazing musician but there's definitly auto tune on his voice. i'm not even saying it was his decision to add it, maybe it was the record label's...
omggg I feel heartbroken :( I mean I really like dcfc and I have a lot of respect for Ben Gibbard as he writes amazing music but this is auto tuned :( His microphone has a thing in it that keeps his voice in tune, except it's not so good here which is why it sounds pitchy. Listen to 1:48 - 1:56 it sounds electronical in places and that's why.
A lot of bands do it, Blink182 were well known for it and Hayley Williams has used it in the past as well.
DUDE BASS IS LIKE THE BEST part of this song! or at least a very cool part that gives it lots of the song's flavor. C'mon man bass is the best here! Lol sorry just love this song
your right, its a 72 thinline reissue. i have one except its got the natural wood finish on it...their alright, more of a rock country type sound which i personally dont play, but they play and feel great
Would it kill some of the other yutzes to pick up a microphone and sing some effing background vocals?? Jezus, Ben's songs are so good when fleshed out, it's a crime there's no harmony when they're live!!!
