What is Autotune? If you were to ask this question, you would get millions of different answers. If you were to ask one of those big-shot producers, they'd tell you that it's the whole backbone of there business. But if you were to ask me, I'd tell you this. Autotune is the Downfall of all that we all call music.
"But seriously, what does Autotune do?"
Good question. Autotune is an editing program that practically grabs your voice and AUTOmatically corrects the TUNE and pitch of your voice. Making it sound good no matter how bad it sounds.
Next question.
"What does this have to do with the Epic Fail that we now know as music?"
Another good question. Which deserves another good answer. You see, with the creation of Autotune. Singers have relied more and more on Autotune than ever before. In the 80's you'd have to have a nice beat AND an angelic voice. Now, all you'd have to do is make a nice beat and have Autotune ready. I'm not saying that there are NO good singers at all in our generation. I'm just saying that we RELY too much on Autotune. I mean, you don't even need to sing to get onto the top 100. (Look at Ke$ha.) Now I'm gonna hammer home my point by using the singing leopard (Look up) as a reference. I mean, you can record him growl for all you want, then just Autotune it and add a beat. Then voila! Another masterpiece.
Conclusion.
I'm not saying that Music is going to die. All that I'm trying to say is that if we will all rely on Autotune too much. And reject the old-fashioned method of SINGING. Music will be doomed to nincompoop. And maybe get round-house kicked in the face by Chuck Norris.
So I guess this is the end of this post.
My name is Enzo, and I approve this message.
