> I would like a recommendation/discovery engine that eliminates that anxiety. Is “anxiety” the right word? This is an unexpectedly serious way to phrase things and I’m not sure I understand you correctly. If you’re viscerally bothered by the presence of autotuning, I can see why that must be very frustrating. > I just want the option of filtering on artists whose creative vision _is_ the original vocal recording. I think the idea of “original vocal recording” gets weaker the closer you look at it. You want something that’s not autotuned, fine. You want to logically explain your personal preferences in terms of preferring the “original” audio recording? The logic doesn’t hold up. That’s okay, you don’t need to logically explain your personal preferences. In fact, I’d rather you didn’t. Pet peeve of mine. Maybe if you get a visceral reaction to bad autotune, I get a visceral reaction when someone explains the “logic” behind their personal preferences. It’s aesthetics. Maybe someone can bridge the gap between logic and aesthetics someday, but I haven’t yet met somebody who has succeeded. > The only reason that man has a career is because his geriatric target audience is too old to know what autotune is (hence his denial is plausible). The reason I brought up Bublé is because it illustrates that autotune is sometimes used even when the singer denies it, even when it’s unnecessary. Please don’t lay on the hate.
