We should definitely throw away auto-tune that is a scourge on humanity.
My point wasn't that all tools are bad, but we need to be wary of the trade offs that happen when we use them and realize more or better tools aren't always the solution.
In the last paragraph,
"So what I’m saying is that tools are great, but dangerous. Be wary of them. They are often a trade off and not always what they seem. When choosing a tool always falter on the side of more control. Never make the process of creating about finding the ‘right’ tool make it about creating the ‘right’ thing."
- stephengillie 14y agoYou think it's a scourge on humanity that people who can't sing are now always in-tune? As an amateur musician, it means I don't hear out-of-tune musak anymore. For performers, it's another tool with which their audience can be entertained. For you, it's obviously a tool about which you can complain. See, even you find it useful!
- tenpoundhammer 14y agoI can understand why you like it, but I find the sound it produces to be annoying. I am also an amateur musician. I find it mostly creates a homogenized vocal sound and promotes laziness. That being said, I never considered it's role in amateur musicianship. I was mostly thinking at the level of popular music.
