i don’t think so. autotune does not make a bad singer good or otherwise generate new content from existing material. every artist uses a variant of autotune, but it is an editing tool, not a replacement for skill.
autotune does not make a bad singer good
This is precisely what autotune DOES. You’re confusing the creative usage of autotune to create a specific sound, like what T-Pain (an actually great signer) popularized. But autotune wasn’t created for that, it was specifically created for correcting signers who can’t keep a key.
…yes, i know what Melodyne is thanks lol. it still cannot do that. it will be incredibly bad sounding and obvious if the singer isn’t able to sing on key consistently enough and the errors aren’t minimal.
With the amount of editing possible, I have to say thats inaccurate. You can take a mostly crap singer and make them unbelievably good.
i’m sorry but i am a musician and know producers and this doesn’t pass the smell test. what you think of as crap may be decent lol.
Autotune makes a good singer bad
it can lol i honestly think it can also be used effectively. there is an interesting way to go about it.

Pitch correction totally is a replacement for the specific skill of singing on key, though. While it’s not the only skill that goes into singing, it’s one that society used to admire in a good singer. Pitch correction also removes many small deviations in pitch that may have been appreciated by listeners as part of the artist’s performance. Just because everyone’s doing it now doesn’t mean something subtle and real hasn’t been lost.

you’re not wrong truly it’s about how you look at what is being created. a lot of studio albums are polished because they want to represent the artist’s closest vision. it isn’t necessarily about being raw, that’s for Live. they want to make the song they know is there in the exact way they hear it. pitch correct will not take somebody who is truly bad and make them sound good because the worse they are the more the effect has to be adjusted. it becomes really obvious and you’ll hear sharp corrections.
