greyhoundgirl Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 please could someone tell me what 'autotune' is. i heard them talking about it on Radio 1 this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 please could someone tell me what 'autotune' is. i heard them talking about it on Radio 1 this morning. It's when computers are used to make something sound more harmonious . It's mainly used to change the pitch. For example.... is Charlie Bit My Finger normal... and is Charlie bit my finger Autotuned. ( ) (Sorry, unable so say wether or not comments will be clean, comments on both of these videos get added so qucikly that they will have changed by the time you watch this.) This Wikipedia page will tell you more Hope that helped . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 Please could someone tell me what 'autotune' is. i heard them talking about it on Radio 1 this morning. As LCL said, they put the vocal through a computer to make it sound pitch perfect ... but its just sounds obviously autotuned with the kind of autotune twang it puts on If you listen to 'G and S' singing Don't Stop Believing ... they've put an autotune/vocoder on her line (and not his) to make her sound better. Can hear it particularly when she warbles. I get it being used on recordings and things, but not for live singing auditions trying to find talent...

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I get it being used on recordings and things, but not for live singing auditions trying to find talent... That's exactly what I thought! . They all sounded slightly autotuned to me, especially the G and S girl, (like you said), the girl with a flower in her hair and the mercy woman. RELEASE ME!

susanbb Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 I wonder if they'll use autotune the whole way through including the live shows. Mind you on last year's show I'm certain that they were lip syncing(?sp)especially in the group numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greyhoundgirl Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 ' They all sounded slightly autotuned to me, especially the G and S girl, (like you said), the girl with a flower in her hair and the mercy woman. Do the contestants know they are being auto tuned do you think? It can't be great for the morale if they know that they need support to sing well. Or maybe it has the opposite effect; they know already they are in with a chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Posted August 23, 2010 Author Share Posted August 23, 2010 How horribly written was that?! - repeat yourself 100 times over and then once more But yep, was so obviously autotuned Sure they won't have time to sort it out for the next couple of weeks but see if they sort it soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Shirlena Johnson the Mercy singer is apparently going to leave the show as she has mental health issues. There is talk that the blond girl with the big hair that got through after fluffing her lines (I thought she was annoying and fake) already has a US record deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuckyChickenLover- Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Did a quick google, yes Katie Waissel does already has a recording contract under the name of Katie Vogel Her YouTube show is called Green Eyed World, I haven't seen it, but I assume that that's about singing too.
