JPF Home Page Forums Musician Gear and Techniques Microphone and Vocalist Forum Using Antares Autotune 4

This kinda comes from the whole thing of picking out pretty girls & boys and making them into 'bands'. There's no process, and no artistry in that. But back to autotune - in a 3 minute take, with an expressive vocal, that is slightly dull on one or two pitches, then I think it's acceptable to adjust those one or two pitches.

However, I think if more is necessary then the singer isn't doing their job. Part of the problem is, the majority of 'professional' singers don't have the training to stay on the bright side of the pitch, nor the training to understand how poor diction can make them sound off pitch even when singing the right note. Or perhaps they don't care enough to prepare for recording. So they pay producers to fix up their recordings.... and disappoint the audience when they sing live.
