The lead singer's voice just sounds so thin, and unnaturally on-key (no vibrato).
I think you'd be hard-pressed to find verifiable examples because those higher settings are probably mostly used to cover up poor singing, and so nobody involved is going to volunteer that information.
- superpope99 9y agoThis is definitely auto-tuned, and I would guess that 90% of auto-tune goes unnoticed as it can be applied a lot more subtly than this.
- criddell 9y agoAs someone who isn't a fan of vibrato, I've always suspected that some singers use it strategically to cover up pitch issues. FWIW, I don't think modern auto-tune plugins have a problem pitch correcting singers using vibrato.
- vkjv 9y agoMelondyne is great with this. Complete lack of vibrato is usually an obvious sign. I think auto-tuners get a bad rap. As an amateur musician, subtle corrections in post-production can save me days of recording to get the right take.
- vonseel 9y agoI didn’t listen to much of this, but the two seconds I heard “I guess it’s all the..” there’s definitely clear artifacting from either auto-tune or compression on the word “all”. And I’m listening on an iPhone. Not a pro editor, but I know my shit.
