Yeah i'm just done with auto-tune.
The novelty is done.
It never was a novelty, just annoying. If you can hear Autotune and are not a 20-year veteran mixing engineer or Bob Ludwig, you're doing it wrong.
What is Autotune? Old Fart speaking here.
It's the annoying part of Cher's song, 'Do you believe in love', OK specifically the annoying part where her voice pitch is altered.
Autotune, to me , sounds like someone isrunning their voice through a keyboard. Sorta like peter Frempton's "Singing Guitar thing, but much, much more unpleasant. The most entertaining use I can think of would be TPain on "I'm on a Boat" Look for the youtube if you're interested.

Oh come on. You can't isolate Cher to only one annoying part.
According to the know it all Wiki:
"Auto-Tune uses a phase vocoder to correct pitch in vocal and instrumental performances. It is used to disguise off-key inaccuracies and mistakes, and has allowed singers to perform perfectly tuned vocal tracks without the need of singing in tune."
Or in layman's terms, it's why you know who Britney Spears is.

That's why I edited it to say specifically the annoying part
just watched a clip, suprised i didnt hear the rappers trying to integrate 22 inch wheels and Cristal...
rappers don't drink Cristal anymore. They are racist frenchies...
(basically, Cristal said that rappers were not portraying an image that the company was stoked about.) Their sales have since fallen drastically.
In reply to maroon92:
haha, that shows how much i know about rap music
Agreed.
Unless we're talking "Compter Love" or "I Wanna Be Your Man" or Herbie Hancock's entire "Sunlight" album, in which case, berkeley off.

It just needs to put in the right context:
"Auto-Tune The News:" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKe_1NQ5QXE
a radio show took a 50-something coffee shop worker with ZERO singing talent, had her screech through a current hit song, did autotuning and turned out with this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQbpF0_5-c8
(definitely helps to play the 'original' to see how close it is)
There are some songs that I like it on... But I also notice that the songs I like it on, its used to make a weird/unique sound that the human voice is not capable of making, not make the (already good sounding) artist sound good. The one that comes to mind is George Straits cover of Stars On The Water, where its used in the chorus to make it sound like his voice is underwater.
And I thought it was the neat feature in the hydra Nemesis software :)

I think it's alright when used as a novelty, but not when it's used to make someone with no talent sound good.

the sad part is its now pervasive in pop music. Now all you have to have is a look. They can fix your voice.

Whoever let Taylor Swift on stage at the Grammies without patching her mic through Auto-Tune should be forced to listen to her performance until blood flows from their ears.
Taylor swift....

The talk box rears its ugly head once every 10 years or so.
"Do You Feel Like I Do" "Sweet Emotion" "Rocky Mountain Way" (OK, the 70's really abused it) "Livin' On A Prayer" GnR's version of "Hair of the Dog" "Man in the Box" and "Rotten Apple" "Beverly Hills"
Herr Frempton's talk box sins aside, autotune is the dirty little secret of the recording industry. If you turn everything up to 11 you sound like T-Pain. If you use it more subtly, you sound like... 90+% of the pop singers out there. Why do another take when you can just auto-tune it.
Hell, Chester Bennington from Linkin Park sings live through an entire ProTools rig.

God, I can't imagine trying to make through a whole gig without a ProTools rig crashing...
