I also don't think engineers and producers should use auto-tune in the studio if the singer is going to go on stage and sing very out of tune. that doesnt work for the audience. It also creates a false "ego boost" for the singer to think "well thats one more person that thinks i sound great".<BR/><BR/>I dont mind out of tune for the sake of the effect or song genre, but out of tune "off pitch" because they cannot sing is still hard for me to listen toDavidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02445532116493317782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34202578.post-53013153988245648492007-10-23T18:00:00.000-05:002007-10-23T18:00:00.000-05:00i think it's a fine line between laziness, lack of...i think it's a fine line between laziness, lack of skill, and/or artistic genius. pick one or all three. music can be so sad. LOL<BR/><BR/>like today i was reading on my favorite hip hop producers message board, and there was this "kid" claiming to have the new hot beats. a lot of the time these posts are just kids trying to be someone, boasting they are the best. the myspace page this was linked too looked terrible. the thought was in the back of my mind that this was a joke. the music was pretty bad. a lot of the beats were off tempo, out of tune pre-set keyboard sounds, etc. it had to be a joke. but there was this one song entitled "neo soul jump off #1" or something like that. once again, the drums were all sporadic, the chord change was crazy and intermittent. when compared to the typical sounds that come out of the "neo soul" genre, it was almost a genius musical parody, almost. it's like the dude set out to make the most awful beat he could and maybe stumbled onto something.<BR/><BR/>i don't know. a lot of the times, i tend to read into things way too much. one person hears a track or a song, i hear a concept or an idea or a tribute. i hear and interpret the pieces.<BR/><BR/>hope that somewhat made sense.<BR/>--money05Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
