AUTO-TUNE
What is Auto-Tune ?
If you've ever removed red-eye from a
photograph.
Or used a Spell Checker to Correct an Essay
Then you know how computer software can... well, "enhance" your
raw material and Life.
It is actually a brand name - owned by Antares, a
company based "a stone's throw" from Silicon
Valley in California - and there are plenty of
competing products that do a similar job.
First Appearance
Auto-Tune was used to produce the prominent
altered vocal effect on Cher's "Believe",
recorded
in 1998, the first major hit song to employ the
software for this purpose. When first
interviewed about this, the sound engineers
claimed that they had used a vocoder, in what
Sound on Sound perceived as an attempt to
preserve a trade secret.

How To Auto Tune?

Software
The Core Auto Tune Software.
AutoTune Evo
Audacity Plug-in
GarageBand
iPhone app (I am T-Pain)
All of them require
the user to know
what key they were
(supposed to be)
singing in.
Not This Key!!
Its Music key
In music a key is the major or minor scale around which a piece of music
revolves. A song in a major key is based on a major scale. A song in a minor key
is based on a minor scale.
The software then scans their vocals, finds any notes that
don't adhere to that scale and pulls them back to the
"correct" pitch
It's pretty much used in 99% of
recorded music now
Artists Using Auto-tune list too long to be Displayed.
CriticismOpponents of the plug-in argue Auto-Tune has a
pervasive negative effect on society's
perception and consumption of music.
Cant Sing!
Cant hold a note!
But I am Rich!
Thanks to Auto-tune…
We now love to listen auto-tuned robotic sound other
than a PURE human vocal. The dedicated artists
preventing autotune and still giving their hard to get back
the music industry on track..
Artist Jay-Z released a song D.O.A.
(Death Of Autotune) against this
technology.
In the End…
Enjoy Music.
Feel It.
Music is like a time-machine.
