I am pretty ecstatic to hear others taking a stand against a product that has had such a negative impact on the music industry. Others may have a different opinion depending on what perspective you have. To some AutoTune has been a lifesaver and has saved hours and hours of studio time, as well as saving millions of dollars in costs.

But at what price??

Most simpleminded people think that Autotune simply corrects a pitch. But that's far from the truth. If a person sings off key, it gets corrected by destroying the natural dynamic and replacing it with an artificial note. But it gets worse.

Its a pitch corrector, right?

NO ONE SINGS PERFECTLY ON KEY.

Therefore...

Autotune perfectly corrects every pitch that is thrown at it. This will include EVERY pitch that comes out of a person's mouth. So from a technical perspective, every note that a person sings has at least "some" of its natural characteristics destroyed and replaced. So in the end, if our voice doesn't become a representation of Cher's Believe, it will at least become a partial robot. So, we all end up as humanoids.

If you listen to the High School Musical soundtrack you will see how bleeding obvious it is. Obviously those kids couldnt sing very well, so it had to be severely corrected.

I can tell you more.

MELODYNE is another example of the ruination of music. It allows a creator to take a singer's vocal track and perform micro-surgery on it, adding note bends and such. Basically you can completely change the vocal part altogether. But in the end, you still end up with an artifical representation.

Some people might say, Who Cares? It sounds pretty.

They dont care about art, truth, and what is real in this world. During the 80s and before, a singer had to be talented. They worked for their album. They were PROUD!! It was a spiritual connection. This was the sum of the music industry. A lot of work was involved. Just like fixing a big dinner at home, its work and their's a level of pride that goes into that. There's meaning.

But now fast food joints make people lazy and senseless and FAT till they die of cancer and heart attacks!! This seems to be the frame of thinking everywhere these days. Nothing is real. Its superficial and amounts to PROFIT.

In other words, MONEY has become the most important thing even more so than human intervention.

SAD SAD SAD.

Autotune has had this kind of impact on music. Its serious because the 80s showed us what music was meant to be like and it moved mountains. HOPE.

That is gone for now because of AUTOTUNE and idiots who love it.
