Songs With And Without Auto Tune
No Autotune Vs Autotune
Over the years, I don't think I've ever seen a topic more beset with assumption, conjecture, and sometimes, idiocracy. Whether Taylor Swift uses Auto-Tune in either the live or recorded formats is not an opinion. Either she does, or she doesn't, and the evidence we have to make those conclusions in many cases is obvious.
If the label wants it tuned you'll tune it or you wont get paid. It a sad state of affairs when the hottest trend in popular music is crazy brickwall limiting and auto tune. Some of these country guys even use racks of auto tune live. Each one tuning the vocal a little more than the last to try and preserve the natural sound. 'I was ready to cringe, but this is good!' Leaked version of Britney Spears' Toxic without auto-tune wows listeners, who say the 'flawless' song is even BETTER than the original. Lil Wayne backed up partner-in-crime T-Pain and stamped his co-sign on Auto-Tune by using the software in his Hot 100 No.
T-Pain snatched wigs and knocked off socks when a video of him performing without Auto-Tune hit the ‘net today.
Who knew T-Pain could actually sing?
We sure didn’t. But damn it, these celebs are full of surprises nowadays.
Although T-Pain typically records all of his songs using Auto-Tune, he does have a little less than a dozen records where there’s no noticeable voice synthesizer. We dug through four album’s worth of music, but it was worth it.
In Mr. Teddy Penderazdoun’s early recordings, he created classic ballads like “Suicide” and R&B bedroom bangers like “My Place,” which is vastly different from club hits “Buy U A Drank” or “Up Down.”
The rappa ternt sanga can actually sang, so listen to T-Pain’s short and sweet Auto-Tuneless playlist below.
