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.

    autotune does not make a bad singer good

    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.

            That may be, im pretty forgiving of most singers really because it is hard. I see why they use the tools. But there is a MASSIVE amount of editing in your average song today.
