See the previous vid that I posted with Ms. Ahn. Of course, talk about your huge contrast in musical styles ;). <br /><br />Auto-tune: I don't get it. I tried running my own voice through it and it made me sound like a friggin' robot, stepping from pitch to pitch, instead of like a singer, sweeping from pitch to pitch. I also discovered I don't have pitch problems, I stay on pitch just fine, thank you very much (validated by bouncing my voice thru autotune onto the left channel, putting my straight voice onto the right channel, then listening w/headphones... other than where I'm transitioning to a new note where autotune held me at the old note for a beat then chucked me up to the new note, I didn't hear any difference).

Nice and smooth, with one of the samples being just a little out of time with the rest of the song -- which I thought enhanced the song rather than hurt it.<br /><br />And back then, singers were still singing with their true voices. These days, too many bands feel compelled to run all their vocals through that awful Autotune effect. God, I hate that effect...Jim Yeagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14614500796136679068noreply@blogger.com
