Auto-tune - what is it?

12 years later and auto tune is still yet a pervasive cancer within the music industry. Artists have just taken this software for granted and don't even question how incredibly stupid that it makes their music sound.

The auto tuning is most noticeable when the vocalist (usually male) suddenly sings at a really high octave with varied pitches.

Auto tune is the reason why I don't listen to anything on the radio.

Auto-tune - what does it mean?

It is used to disguise inaccuracies and mistakes, and – due to its increasing use in modern music – has allowed many artists to produce more precisely tuned recordings. While Auto-Tune is only one out of many commercial pitch correction packages, auto-tune is frequently used in the media as a blanket term to describe any audio processing with a similar effect, perhaps because it was the first product allowing pitch correction in real time.

In the hit single lollipop, Lil Wayne used auto tune.

Auto-tune - definition

Pitch-correction software that's been plaguing the music industry, mainly pop and hip-hop. Was created in the late 90's, and the first song to use it was Cher's hit "Believe". It was a novelty back then, but as time went on and talentless hacks like T-Pain have made the practice of drowning their voices in it popular, it's now both extremely overused and also allows pretty much any random schmuck to have a hit song in no time.

T-Pain uses so much Auto-Tune that he sounds like a freakin' robot now.

Auto-tune

A software program created for those who have absolutely no musical talent whatsoever, used by idiots who wouldn't know what real music was, even if it kicked them in the head repeatedly. Also applies to someone who believes music that relies on this technology is actual music, even though they are uneducated as to what real music takes to make.

"Did you hear (insert untalented "artists" name here, usually an egotistical rap "artist" who has no IDEA what music is)'s new "song"? He can't sing, so he relies on Auto-Tune to make him feel better about himself".

Auto-tune

A computer software program that will correct minor imperfections in a person's singing pitch. Contrary to popular belief, Auto-Tune does not make terrible singers into great singers. Auto-Tune simply snaps an out of pitch note to the closest semitone (meaning if the singer is completely out of key, Auto-Tune can actually make them sound worse by snapping the pitch of their voice to the wrong semitone).

1st guy: Pop music sucks. All it is is talentless nobodies that use Auto-Tune to make them sound good.

2nd guy: Idiot. Shows how much you know. Auto-Tune isn't the miracle worker people think it is.
