Auto Tune Will Kill The Music Industry

So. We were editing a video in iMovie and stumbled across an update that gives an "Auto Tune" option. It made me sick. I have never made a "rant" video but I just have to speak my mind on this one.

@HansonDreams My point exactly :p

Haha whats up J rock! Yea man I agree, artists that use it TASTEFULY, absolutly cool. But "singers" that use it to mask the fact that they can't sing? Ugh can't stand it!

[TonyTyler]

I absolutly agree with you there Zed. Like that Cher tune "Do You Believe" or whatever it was called. That was tasteful use of Auto Tune. Its the people who use it to mask the lack of talent that ruins it for me. The fact that some one can go into a booth, lay down a "vocal track" that is VERY substandard, and have the engineer press a few buttons and it sounds pitch perfect. No talent there.

Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm really hoping our generation will tire of the polished slick junk and get back to the roots of real music!

AMEN!

I love your natural voice, it made me think of John Lennon

I first heard that when Cher was lousing what little voice she ever had. She sounded like she was blowing Sponge Bob Square Pants.Sponge sings better than that stupid bitch.

Mate so true!!!!! Defeats the purpose of free music!!! Right on man

Things evolve. Automobiles changed the horse-drawn cart industry. My wife and I hand-make jewellery, but the glitzy factory-made stuff makes ours look overpriced. We're having to think and develop to keep the income arriving. I gotta say though, that I've just seen your performance of 'Wagon Wheel" and I reckon that there is no computer program that will ever bring the same magic to a performance like you guys achieved. Keep channeling that good stuff!!! Best wishes from NZ.

Hes right!! You are a musician if you have a good voice!! Not like every stupid guy that you see on MTV that sucks but he is using autotune!!

[HansonDreams]

Haha to be honest, I thought you sucked on auto tune XD

What you're saying, my brother, is SPOT ON! People these days are so obsessed with perfection till the point where they'd be blinded with falseness. Look around us, it's not only in the music industry, it's everywhere; plastic surgery, auto-tunes, airbrushed images... No wonder our generation suffers so much from psychological issues. PERFECTION IS BORING, not to mention an ILLUSION!

I like your voice without auto tune...but they have other means to change people's voices with auto tune beside just tuning it don't they?
