I hear people that have talent doing their thing in the subways.<br /> And I had heard Ke$ha sing without auto-tune and it sounded fine.

It's complete BS. Do I edit the vocals? Of course. We comp it and take the best pieces of everything. When things are autotuned, it's on purpose -- to match the original song, like Lady Gaga’s "Telephone," the original is incredibly auto-tuned and we're matching that production style. But on "Papa, Can You Hear Me?" we didn't have auto-tune. Lea for example, she has this flip in her voice that's like her iconic thing in my opinion. People think that's auto-tuned, but that's how she sings. And it's killer. It makes her stick out. So I get really frustrated with that whole auto-tune comment. T-Pain is not allowed in the building unless it's a T-Pain song we're covering. <br /><br />THR: Auto-tune as a gimmick almost feels like an abuse of technology, but when is technology a good thing?<br /><br />AA: Say Lea does an incredible performance. You’re not going to be able to capture that moment again, but there was one note that was off. Technology is great. It can fix that one thing. It doesn't take away from this performance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-46255038447945382182011-03-15T10:49:14.004-07:002011-03-15T10:49:14.004-07:00the posting is not about digital,

A nicely illustrated point, Miss Snark...Hear, hear! A nicely illustrated point, Miss Snarker.<br /><br />You know who else agrees with you on this? Why, none other than Neko-Mother-Flippin'-Case.<br /><br />Here's a little excerpt from a 2006 Pitchfork article:<br /><br />"When I hear auto tune on somebody's voice, I don't take them seriously. Or you hear somebody like Alicia Keys, who I know is pretty good, and you'll hear a little bit of auto tune and you're like, "You're too fucking good for that. Why would you let them do that to you? Don't you know what that means?" It's not an effect like people try to say, it's for people like Shania Twain who can't sing. Yet there they are, all over the radio, jizzing saccharine all over you. It's a horrible sound and it's like, "Shania, spend an extra hour in the studio and you'll hit the note and it'll sound fine. Just work on it, it's not like making a burger!" <br /><br />You can read the rest of her brilliance here:<br />http://tinyurl.com/cpez8omaddyzerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662369540162969194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-44693472319023473212011-03-15T07:01:34.075-07:002011-03-15T07:01:34.075-07:00Seriously, Dorothy, thank you so much for this pos...Seriously, Dorothy, thank you so much for this post. What bothers me more than singers who can't actually sing or lip sing at concerts because they just use auto-tune on their cds, is singers who CAN sing, are EXTREMELY talented, and, for some unfathomable reason, STILL use auto-tune!
