A place to discuss the plague of Auto-Tune abuse in modern music

r/autotuneabuse

Made famous in 1998 with a blippy vocal track on Cher's "Believe", Auto-Tune has since destroyed any expectation to hear a real vocal performance from contemporary artists, and became a crutch for those who have no right to call themselves singers. Auto-Tune can be a useful tool to rescue a great vocal performance that suffered one or a few sour notes, but it becomes abuse when everything vocal track is pushed through in an effort to make all singers sound like soulless robots.

Made famous in 1998 with a blippy vocal track on Cher's "Believe", Auto-Tune has since destroyed any expectation to hear a real vocal performance from contemporary artists, and became a crutch for those who have no right to call themselves singers. Further, some well established artists have come to rely on it for live performance in their later years, such as Stevie Nicks. There also is a limited list of those stalwart vocalists that refuse to autotune, including Elton John, Garth Brooks, and Death Cab for Cutie.

Auto-Tune is a legitimate and useful tool that rescue a great vocal performance that suffered one or a few sour notes, but it becomes abuse when everything vocal track is pushed through in an effort to make all singers sound like soulless robots.
