Your Response: What is it with Auto-tune?

[eenish]

Very interesting video :) I don't have too much against auto-tuning, just depends on how they do it. Being creative with it, and creating your own sound is very cool!

...brought up in this video. And I thought it was interesting to think about how people yearn for substance (sometimes in the form of gritty, unfabricated muic/talent), espeically when surrounded by polished made-by-a-factory tunes. I'm not sure the link will go through, but here it is:

I've never been quoted in a vid before, so that was asweome. Thanks! Makes me wish I'd been a little more eloquent though, lol.

Anyway, two things: I really love that you compile a vid that discusses the responses to the topic you introduce. Really makes it feel like an interractive discussion, where everyone actually has a voice and is listened to, etc.

Secondly, the article "China's YouTube: How a New Kind of Chinese Pop Star Gets Made" by Damien Ma made me think of the topics you...

@faerietaleredux I'm really glad you like what I'm trying to do :) I found the article, I'm gonna have a look at it. I find China really interesting because it's so different from the west but it's becoming a bigger and bigger cultural influence on the rest of the world.

I really like that you compile response follow-up videos. I think it's a great tactic for further engaging an audience. Also, thanks for the mention! :D

@Nsnick88 That's what I'm trying to do, I'm glad you like it!

YES!!! You're my favourite now. XD

Was interesting to see some of the other arguments for/against auto-tune too.

When they say we're having tea and cakes....what type of tea and cakes? Are cakes and crumpets the same thing? Very curious about the foody habits of those on the other side of the pond. =)

[senselesslyuncommon]

@Qwazier3 That's a slightly odd question but tea would be "English tea" ie black leaf tea with milk. And cakes are all kinds of cakes that you'd find in a British cafe or tearoom. Crumpets are something you have for breakfast and to be honest I've never really "been for tea and cakes", I think that's a bit old fashioned.

[Qwazier3]

@senselesslyuncommon I'm almost 50 so I guess you could say I'm old fashioned. No offense was meant by my question. I work with many people all over the world at my place of employment and British aren't among them.  So since your asking for questions , I'm asking. In the USA it's the melting pot of the world. Our language and food are comingled with those that arrive here. I get to taste all kinds of home cooking from Egypt to Bosnia to Ethiopia and all other points. I've learnt so much. =)

You should work up to a 2 video-per-week schedule, one response, one new topic.

[senselesslyuncommon]

@themefund I might think about that at some point in the future but right now I need the whole week to get a decent level of response. Also I'm quite busy at the moment and I don't want video making to become a chore but thanks for the advice :)
