Is it any wonder that with all the technological advances of the last ten to fifteen years, the music will inevitably affect the leader as well? I’m one of those people who likes music. You will find different types of music, especially classical, classical, blues and early rock. ticus wants to keep alive in every show, games, arts, traditions without any adulterations, changes, or dilutions.
What is the use of trade secrets in music has now become a serious force to be reckoned with when auto-modulating. What is auto-tune, some people wonder? I had heard of it, but I’m not quite sure what it was. It is simply a studious trick that takes a vocal and magically transforms it to hit the right notes and be pitch perfect in process. So think of it as Photoshop for a singer’s voice. If that’s what’s going on today, why bother the singers? You can also grab someone from the street, put them in studio and presto. The rest takes care of itself.
This software program was created in 1997 as a means to broadcast a singer’s voice through Auto-Tune, where the pitch .de is then . Her robotic sound became a prominent effect in the 1990s from Cher’s song “Believe”, or what is now sometimes referred to as “The Cher Effect”. The 90’s are highly experimental artists in the 70’s who used an advanced tool to correct pitch issues called a vocoder, which is a hybrid of the words “voice” and “encoder”. You could hear this on Styge in the 80s, “Domini Roboto”.
Today, vocoder and self-singing are occasionally heard in contemporary music from artists such as Back Ased Pisa to Lady Gaga Kayne West. But the artist most associated with his enjoyment of auto-tune is none other than T-Pain. This discussion reminds me of one from the early to mid 90’s, when the talk of synching was brought to the fore by the comments of the deranged Milli Vanilli. The artists making a “live” and who won Grammarly for Best New Artist weren’t the ones making the records themselves.
Thankfully, there are some contemporary artists out there who feel the same way about auto-singing. Jay-Z is far from passionate at this point. One of his “D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)” is his stance against artists using this software in musicsoftware. /a>. Auto-tuning felt off the scale when he saw it being used in a social TV commercial. Another artist, Wyclef Jean, fought his feelings on auto-tune with “Master Autotune”, a collaboration he did with Nick Cannon. He delivers a great hook that literally says it all “I’m Mr. Autotune/ If you sing off-key/ for a small fee/ I can make you a celebrity.”
Yes, I know that music changes over time. That is given. Many in the early days of rock n’ roll were fiercely opposed, traditional blues artists not keen on blues rock, and really loving traditional jazz not fond of classical fusion . But self-singing is not the formation of a musical genre. Whatever happened to the wonderful music program “MTV Unplugged”? It was a great show where the artists played in an intimate environment with only microphones and electronic instruments. Are today’s music artists afraid of what they really sound like without auto-tuning?
