Who can sang? Hud Can!
September 10th! The Large Hadron Collider fires up its first pass.

I think I need to make peace with the fact that my work process is non-linear. It makes it very difficult to determine progress, but the final product always seems to arrive in time.
(#)For those of you in Northern Cal, I recommend the Exploratorium in SF. It is a kid- and adult-friendly hands-on museum of science experiments. Recently I was inspired by their exhibits on SOUND, and wished I had the Addison Roadhouse there so we could ponder together. Here are the quick tempered clavier and tone memory.

Yes. Yes she can.
Um… she can sing. So, the sound guy needs to lose the Auto-tune. Not cool.
…sorry?
There’s a real-time effects processor that will tune a solo instrument or a vocal to a particular scale (or if they’re using Digidesign Venue live sound rig, they can actually use the plug-in). If you crank up the speed that it reacts, the vocals start to sound like the famous “Do You Believe” Cher vocal. You can especially hear it when she changes notes on the same vowel.
I would crap in my pants if I had to sing an Aretha song FOR Aretha.
So…her pitch could totally blow and I’d never know it? Is her pitch blowing, Stick?
Geez. My illusions shattered.
Cerise
Ok Stick, you sound just like my husband about every pop song!
Well, I think there’s good use for such a thing… on a recorded pop song, for one. Sometimes it’s overused (say 98% of all country music), but our ears are well trained to hear stuff in tune these days. Even most rock stuff on the radio has been tuned… you don’t hear that overdone effect, but it’s been tweaked.
The wrong use is live on stage. You can get away with a lot more out of tune stuff live than you can recorded, so to slap on a singer that’s pretty good already, and then crank it down so hard that it sounds like Cher, is not cool.
Karen, I’d probably like your husband! HA!
I can hear it, but it seems irregular. There are some notes that seem tuned, but to the wrong pitch. Either way, tuning live is a terrible, terrible mistake.
And yes, you would really like Karen’s husband.
lemme just throw this out there … are you sure it’s not the compression on the flash video that’s producing artifacts? I think they use a pretty heavy squeeze to get it down to steaming size for youtube. My first thought wasn’t autotune, it was mp3 artifacts.
Mike also believes that there was no 9/11 conspiracy, so his credibility is pretty much shot.
Oops…
This is actually Chad, commenting on Paul’s laptop without checking who’s signed in. That’s what I get for being a smart ass.
Nah. It’s Autotune. That “oh” at :36-37 is a prime example. She’s just sliding her pitch up, and the Autotune is grabbing each note as she flips through them. I can’t see how mp3 compression could have that effect. This from the guy that has to Autotune his own vocals that much to sound at all cool.
Cool. I should know better than to challenge Brian “Boy Band Forever” Steckler when it comes to knowing how autotune sounds!
You know - this kind of ticks me off a bit. Firstly because Hud probably doesn’t bloody need it, especially not in the style she’s using, and third and lastly because live performing no longer perforce separates the older persons of indeterminate gender from the younger persons of same. Dammit.
Also - why the hell isn’t the lead singer of Stellastarr using this? He’s the only bugger magnificent enough that I can stand to listen to with that bad of pitch.
Geez, people. Next you’ll be telling me that my girl Ashlee Simpson pre-records her live vox.
Cerise
Hmm. If I didn’t know any better, this sounds an awful lot like a topic where Music and Ethics intersect …
[Cerise's brain powers down]
The country industry is hearing a lot of new “talent” right now that has the autotune sound to their voice already because of hearing it on the radio and singing to it so much. Shania is another one that uses the live autotune.
