I feel Baldr is channeling me in this message. Get out of my head, you crazy old man! :wink: Or am I the crazy old man? Hit 55 on Thu so probably.

Autotune is an invention which permits singers devoid of any singing ability whatsoever to automagically fake it as musical performers.

Is it really easy to hear autotune? Or can you make us an autotune detector? Is autotune
acceptable if it's just for danceable pop music? Do they use autotune in commercial Broadway productions?

I mean, I think I can hear autotune but then I get in arguments with my daughter.
To introduce my comments on musical theatre versus opera. I really love them both. What they have in common with stage plays is they are not meant to be read or just listened to. They are meant to be seen.
Hear, hear!


Perhaps an analogy: Vermont Craft Maple syrup is incredible. It is too bad the Canadians package many of their craft brands in plastic bottles rather than glass. (Yes I eat pancakes as I finish this) and Log Cabin is incredibly bad.

Maple creamies! One of the best reasons to go to Vermont.

Check out Adele's album 25, compared to 21. It's easy to hear on 25....the reason that album was a disappointment to me.

It all started with Milli Vanilli.
Now we have autotuned producermuppets that somehow never last longer than their third album, after which their contract states, the muppet will make more money than the producer.
Maybe we should call them arsetist because they sound like...
I hereby co opt your term!

25 is the only album of hers I tried. Maybe the vocal issues that put her into retirement - (she still is isn't she) were already bothering her? (Sorry, I don't keep up with celebrity stuff)
It sounded like the back up group was recorded at a different location and time and patched in somehow.
As many times as I tried there was some sort of distortion in that "production value" crap I've never been able to accept making it un-listenable for me even on my ultra concealing car stereo.

This is a really good example, thanks. Though I may be a little bit biased, because Like a Stone is one of my favorite songs from the high school / early college days.
