Auto Tune

Sadly I forgot to copy the screen shot of what we were doing with Auto Tune... So heres a pic from the net.


This is a pretty cool plugin. I can see how it can be applied not only in a standard fashion to put things in tune, but also its creative applications to add interesting elements to a sound.

Each example has the clean version, followed by the Auto Tune version directly after.

The First example is an example of Auto Tune being used creatively. Auto Tune has forced Ben's vocals into a minor scale. Then we used Amplitube and Rcompression for extra coloring.

The second is Forcing bens vocals into a major scale. Its used so heavily that the 'Cher' effect is quite evident.

The final example demonstrates a conservative use of Auto tune on a plucked cello. Listen carefully to the second note in each recording to hear the difference Auto Tune has made.
