According to professional MILF slayer, Michael Bublé auto tuning software is “overused” in the music industry. The software enables recording studios to improve pretty much any singer’s pitch and sound quality, to the point where you can basically make a pekinese dog a viable musical talent.
You can even autotune the spoken word into melody. Seriously.
Bublé wished recording artists relied enough on their own voices to record without them being tweaked. He said:
Yes it’s overused, oh yeah, I don’t even know how people sound anymore because they sound like robots.
But Bublé isn’t completely against using auto tuning in studio, but only when he’s making music that doesn’t require any kind of meaningful emotion.
I am against Pro tools because when I make a standard, I have the whole orchestra around me because I have better pitch that way, I feel like the performance is better, I feel I am in the moment. But when I make a pop song, like It’s a Beautiful Day, then I use it. I try to make it sound a little more modern.
As an effect it is great. George Michael and all those guys don’t have to use auto tune – they are trained. Generally guys are using it because it is easier to do, instead of doing more than one take or recording. It would be fantastic if artists could learn their stuff before recording, unless using it for an effect. I completely agree with Michael. The use of auto tune makes it a little unreal. Performers should use vox humana (human vocals) in a performance. Pro tools can be used for a slightly more modern sound but eventually it becomes not real. Don’t get me wrong, it is an incredible tool, but when it comes to singing and putting the singer in tune it is a different story. That singer must just learn his trade really.
