Mar 27, 2020  In the studio, Melodyne really has no competition for accuracy, but if you need tuning in a live scenario you need something that processes the audio in real-time so Auto-Tune is your only choice. Since Auto-Tune’s processing is zero latency, to achieve absolutely no latency whatsoever you’ll need a powerful enough computer to run it.

Beatles

The following sentence might come as a huge shock to teens and Millennials, so stop tweeting for a second, kids, and get prepared for a totally outlandish statement. Here it is: Once upon a time, pop singers were actual singers.

  • Apr 02, 2011  Auto-tune is a type of pitch correcter that was invented in the 90s. It was first used in underground house music but was first in a pop hit in Cher's Believe. In the song I am The Walrus, John Lennon is actually singing through a Leslie amplifier.

    1. Autistic ballerina dances her way into hearts

      In a popular YouTube video, the beaming little ballerina dances an entire four-minute routine seemingly perfectly, matchin..

Yes, I know. That’s hard to comprehend since the pop charts are now dominated by artists who use Auto-Tune, the software plug-in that corrects the pitch of those who can’t really cut it in the vocal department and turns their vocals into robo-voices. While everyone under 30 recovers from that revelation, here’s what I mean by “actual singers.”

Back in the day, pop artists like Frank Sinatra and the Beatles used to be able to record albums in just a few days. Country musicians like Patsy Cline and George Jones trudged through grueling tours in out-of-the-way rural locales yet still missed nary a note. R&B musicians like the Supremes and the Four Tops navigated their way through complex choreography but still belted out songs out like their lives depended on it.

And while today, we still have singers with massively impressive pipes, a whole lotta them could never have rocked it for real like the Motown gang. These days, artists are able to get by on looks, publicity and aid from Auto-Tune.

You can hear the robotic, processed sound of the plug-in on recent hit records like “Blame It” by Jamie Foxx and T-Pain, “Just Dance” by Lady Gaga and “Right Now (Na Na Na)” by Akon. It’s also heard on tracks by Kanye West, Britney Spears and Lil Wayne. When West attempted to sing “Love Lockdown” without the plug-in on “Saturday Night Live,” the results were none too impressive and got ridiculed online. You can hear 10 examples of “Auto-Tune Abuse in Pop Music” on Hometracked, a blog geared toward home recording enthusiasts.

Paula Abdul also uses Auto-Tune on her new song, “Here for the Music,” which she performed (i.e. lip-synched) on “American Idol” May 6. It was evident just how artificial Abdul’s vocals were when she was followed by Gwen Stefani, who gave a warts-and-all live vocal on No Doubt’s “Just a Girl.”

Country and rock singers are said to use Auto-Tune to protect themselves from hitting bum notes in concert. Pop singers use it when they have a hard time singing while executing complicated dance moves (raising the question as to why they’re letting their dancing take precedence over their music). Auto-Tune has become so ubiquitous that indie rockers Death Cab for Cutie wore blue ribbons at this year’s Grammy Awards ceremony to protest its overuse.

Building the ‘perfect’ beast
The prevalence of Auto-Tune comes from two longstanding pop music traditions — the desire to alter the human voice and the quest for perfection at the expense of real talent and emotion.

The first of these can lead to inspiring moments, as the New Yorker’s Sasha Frere-Jones noted in an essay last year. Pioneering voice tweakers include producer Quincy Jones, who punched up Lesley Gore’s vocals with double tracking on “It’s My Party,” and George Martin, who gave us a childlike sped-up John Lennon on “Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds.” Later on, Peter Frampton wowed audiences with his talk box guitar effect and a decade later, vocals were being put through harmonizers to get jarring outer space effects.

Of course, to pull off any of those effects, you had still had to be able to sing. With Auto-Tune you don’t.

Then there’s the quest for perfection. By the 1970s, producers were able to edit or splice together vocal takes from various tracks and eventually they started to use hardware that corrected vocal pitch to create “perfect” performances. When the sound editing program Pro Tools became the industry norm in the 1990s, kludged-together vocal tracks became the norm.

But too much meticulousness in pop music strips away passion. And the very reason we listen to music, noted the late rock critic Lester Bangs, is to hear “passion expressed.” Auto-Tune makes people sound like robots. And if there’s no feeling, why listen at all?

Some people apparently aren’t listening anymore. Sales of major label CDs are down. But more authentic sounding music still has fans. Paste magazine recently reported that indie music is selling more, and the one area of commercial music that’s remained popular is “American Idol,” where you can’t fake it (unless you’re Paula Abdul).

The producers speak
A lot of producers like to use Auto-Tune because it saves time, says producer Craig Street, who has worked with Norah Jones, k. d. lang and Cassandra Wilson. “If you have a smaller budget what you’re doing is trying to cram a lot of work into a small period of time,” Street says. “So you may not have as much time to do a vocal.”

Craig Anderton, a producer and music writer, observes that Auto-Tune “gets no respect because when it’s done correctly, you can’t hear that it’s working.

“If someone uses it tastefully just to correct a few notes here and there, you don’t even know that it’s been used so it doesn’t get any props for doing a good job,” Anderton notes. “But if someone misuses it, it’s very obvious — the sound quality of the voice changes and people say ‘Oh, it’s that Auto-Tune — it’s a terrible thing that’s contributing to the decline and fall of Western music as we know it.”

One producer who dislikes Auto-Tune is Jon Tiven, who cut his musical teeth in the punk rock era with his band the Yankees, and went on to produce soul singers Wilson Pickett and Don Covey as well as Pixies founder Frank Black. Tiven thinks Auto-Tune has led to the destruction of great singing.

“I don’t know how many levels you want to drop the bar for what it takes to become a successful musical person,” Tiven says. “You could sacrifice on some levels, but it would seem to me one of the first things you would really be hard pressed to sacrifice is if the person could sing in tune or not.”

Street says the like or dislike of Auto-Tune largely comes down to aesthetics, and likens people’s feelings about listening to unnatural sounds with the way some people feel about unnatural body modifications, such as breast implants.

And that makes sense. /how-to-input-string-in-dev-c.html. After all, today we have models and actors whose faces and bodies were never intended by nature, reality TV that’s not real, and sports “heroes” whose strength comes from pills not practice. It’s totally understandable that the commercial pop world would embrace an unnatural aesthetic. Whether audiences will someday want pop singers who are first and foremost singers remains to be seen.

Over a half a century after becoming one of popular music’s biggest superstars, Paul McCartney interviews tend to feel more than a bit repetitive. They usually feature the same types of anecdotes–ones about him coming up with Beatles megahits with John Lennon in each others’ living rooms, learning Chuck Berry riffs off of 45s, still being a normal Liverpudlian chap at heart, that sort of thing. A new GQ cover story on McCartney, which may or may not be roughly the length of Moby Dick, attempts to cut out on the tired talking points and force McCartney to spill some hot new dirt. Its title: “The Untold Stories of Paul McCartney.”

The most notable item that has already been picked up on is an anecdote about McCartney, John Lennon, and a few non-Beatles buddies masturbating in darkness and envisioning Bridgette Bardot. After a suggestive name was yelled out, “everyone would thrash a bit more,” McCartney described, appallingly.

With that tidbit out of the way (and skipping over some other ramblings about “orgies” and what was “called ‘kinky’ in those days”), we can turn to appreciating some of the other weird details of this collection of unusual collection of remembrances and Jack-Handey-esque deep thoughts from the former Beatle. McCartney claims Kanye West offered to produce his new album Egypt Stationand says the rapper periodically texts and calls him. In an interview published by Vulture in February, Quincy Jones is quoted as saying that The Beatles were “no-playing motherfuckers” and, specifically, that “Paul was the worst bass player I ever heard.” McCartney told GQ that Jones had called him to apologize, claiming that he never made the offending comments.

McCartney recalled an entire, almost-definitely-not-entirely-true exchange with Jones: “I said, ‘If you had said that, you know what I would have said? Fuck you, Quincy Jones!'” McCartney said. “And [Jones] laughed. I said, ‘You know I would say to that: Fuck you, Quincy Jones, you fucking crazy motherfucker!’…And he was like, ‘Oh, Paul, you know I love you so much.’ ‘Yeah, I know you do, Quince.'” One of the McCartney stories that may remain untold is whether or not he actually calls Quincy Jones “Quince.” /new-barbie-cooking-games-free-download.html.

McCartney also claimed the exchange occurred while he was “cooking” with “a little bit of wine going,” and we’ll certainly need some extra journalistic legwork to establish whether or not Paul McCartney has ever cooked for himself in the last 55 years.

Perhaps the most haunting detail in this GQ colossus is the revelation that there is another Ryan-Tedder-produced Paul McCartney song in existence, one which sounds like it has the potential to be worse than Egypt Station’s assaultive, middle-school-lascivious, Tedder-prodduced single “Fuh You,” which is an easy candidate for the worst song McCartney has ever committed to tape. According to Macca, the second Tedder-helmed work, entitled “Get Enough,” features liberal use of Auto-Tune. The track has not seen public release, and McCartney claims that an imagined voice of his own conscience threatened to talk him down from releasing it.

“I know people are going to go, ‘Oh no! Paul McCartney’s on bloody Auto-Tune! What have things come to?'” McCartney explained. “At the back of my mind I’ve got Elvis Costello saying, ‘Fucking hell, Paul!'”

Not to be deterred, McCartney pushed back against this Obi-Wan Kenobi-like Big Fedora-Wearing Rock’n’Roll Man apparition yelling in his skull, which I imagine resembled the “huge endless” scream Norwegian artist Edvard Munch heard “cours[ing] through nature” before creating his iconic turn-of-the-century painting The Scream. McCartney imagined what his former bandmate would do in his shoes. “You know what? If we’d had this in the Beatles, we’d have been—John, particularly—would be so all over [auto-tune],” McCartney exclaimed. “All his freaking records would be…” By way of summary, McCartney explained: “I don’t listen to people.”
