Amy Winehouse? Are you seriously using her to defend yourself Veronica? :nono:

amy whinehouse shoots up every minute of the dayy man

wow....too many posts on a thread on a person of negligible worth.

gooood point!

I am curious; how can you tell when they're using auto-tune? What effect does it leave that signals that for you?

Then don't post.

Btw,

Hi im Tommy
Im in a couple of bands
The JSBs - an electronica duo bent on classic pop and rock 'n' roll
Fire in Cairo - a post-punk extravaganza

I don't think this site really works for me, as I mainly listen to my music on CD and only really listen to works in process of either of the aforementioned bands.

Well, which would you choose? I'd pick Amy over Hilary any day. I don't think I needed to defend anything.

I went to school for audio engineering and editing, where we studied auto tune extensively.

You can pick up on auto tune on music (especially pop music, but in a lot of other genres as well) when their voice picks up an electronic robot sound. The pitch changes slightly as well (to accomodate for the actually pitch shift..) Alot of artists use auto tune as an effect, and will drench their vocals in it. Mostly in an R&B dance club track. (Chris Brown comes into mind.) It's something that alot of people can't pick up on, but if you study it, it comes out immediatly.

What did the quote from his lastfm page have to do with anything?

auto tune is interesting how chris brown uses it too much for an effect. i think thats cool.

Wtf?
 

What's that got to do with anything?
Are you seriously trying to say she is musically important?
