Fun with Autotune Feb 10, 2009
There was a great article on Time.com about Auto-tune last week. It talks about how Auto-tune touches all pop music you hear over the radio, making silent and not-so-silent tweaks to songs. Basically, it applies autocorrelation to make any singer sing in tune.
There was also some great discussion on Hacker News.
I decided to fire up GarageBand and apply its version of Auto-tune (Enhanced Tuning) on my voice. It’s actually incredibly easy to sound just like most modern pop artists, sans the great audio equipment. Here I present you the first verse of Kanye West’s Love Lockdown, as sung by me. Please keep in mind I did this in 5 minutes on my Macbook Pro mic.

Hey James – I’d like to talk to you about the MoodApps Facebook application you created. Can you email me so I can ask you some questions? Thanks Dave

I found your music site while browsing thru google and read a few of your other articles too. I’ve just added you to my yahoo rss Reader. Just wanted to say” keep up the good work” and congrats on a job well done! I am looking forward to hearing more from you in the future!
