[Dave Blackburn ] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Thu, 26 Apr 2012 08:53:31 -0700 From: Dave Blackburn Subject: Re: auto tune? Auto-tune, which is a software plugin by Antares, has existed since 1997. Much better (ie more musical) pitch correction is now available in a plugin called Melodyne Editor. Before 1997 you had to sing well to sound in tune. Joni almost always did. She has said her ear is particularly sensitive to pitch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-tune It is viewed as a blessing and a curse by the whole music industry and has been prohibited by Simon Cowell on the X-Factor, on which they were using it to make the show slicker for viewers. A lot of singers in the studio these days insist that their pitch be corrected, not wanting to sound less polished than the competition I suppose.
