Auto-tune to the Rescue

Auto-tune, it’s all the craze now a days. Just in case you don’t know what it is, it’s an audio plugin that makes T-Pain sound like he can sing. Who knows, maybe he can sing without it but I’ve never seen it. And I guess that’s the point, Auto-tune corrects your voice so it sounds like you’re completely on pitch. With Auto-tune you don’t have to be dead on to sound good.

The use of Auto-tune is a controversial subject. Some music purist believe there is not place for it. Some use it purely for the vocal effect while still others use it because without it they would sound horrible. One thing to note is that for Auto-tune to work correctly you do have to be able to carry a tune to a certain degree, you just don’t have to be perfect.

I recently put out a mix tape. I wanted to include a “diss” of a fellow DJ but I wanted to do it in a creative way. I ended up recording a song using Auto-tune, singing a “parody” of Snoop Dog’s “Sensual Seduction” track. I figured if he could sound good with Auto-tune, me a former Jackson 5 could have been should be able pull it off as well! Check out the final results below. I think I just may have Snoop beat! Well … maybe ;)
