There was (and still somewhat is) a big uproar about auto tune usage in music. But guess what? You haven’t heard a song NOT using it since at least 1998. Unless youre friends with every sound engineer out there and can ask them specifically if an artist did or did not use it (unrealistic).
The same will happen with ai. People wont notice, and it will go on to be the norm, with a very small pocket of purists.
i don’t think so. autotune does not make a bad singer good or otherwise generate new content from existing material. every artist uses a variant of autotune, but it is an editing tool, not a replacement for skill.
Autotune makes a good singer bad
Pitch correction totally is a replacement for the specific skill of singing on key, though. While it’s not the only skill that goes into singing, it’s one that society used to admire in a good singer. Pitch correction also removes many small deviations in pitch that may have been appreciated by listeners as part of the artist’s performance. Just because everyone’s doing it now doesn’t mean something subtle and real hasn’t been lost.
This is precisely what autotune DOES. You’re confusing the creative usage of autotune to create a specific sound, like what T-Pain (an actually great signer) popularized. But autotune wasn’t created for that, it was specifically created for correcting signers who can’t keep a key.
…yes, i know what Melodyne is thanks lol. it still cannot do that. it will be incredibly bad sounding and obvious if the singer isn’t able to sing on key consistently enough and the errors aren’t minimal.
With the amount of editing possible, I have to say thats inaccurate. You can take a mostly crap singer and make them unbelievably good.
i’m sorry but i am a musician and know producers and this doesn’t pass the smell test. what you think of as crap may be decent lol.
