I am so fed up of autotune/mechanised singing in songs

Is anyone fed up of singers/rappers sounding like robots in their songs?
It just sounds so ridiculous and annoying, please tell me I'm not alone D:

You´re not alone. A lot of people are fed up with it.

I´m not gonna´ moan about it tho, it´s a problem that´s fairly easy to solve. (:

I don't like it, but its rare I listen to the music with autotune on, I avoid it if I can.

That's why I listen to metal...Power-metal.I love real singing.

yep im fed up with it. anything that has auto tune that is not electronic music is ignored by me instantly.

I don't like it, but its rare I listen to the music with autotune on, I avoid it if I can.

LOL, no no no

cher used it in a couple songs. friggin T Pain and Kanye decided everyone with a microphone in their hands on the west coast needed autotune.

Hmm....well I don't listen to that music. But I wouldn't like it if I did....

If its a background effect for background vocals its okay but there are entire songs that are pretty much poster songs for autotune.

Unfortunatley that seems to be the case. I can still listen to it though, I just dont prefer to.

Here's the deal, Im not for, or against autotune. I hate the whole t-pain electronic voicing, sure, but listen:

Autotune is much much more complicated then just "t-pain". We studied them in music technology class in school.

Lets say your singing a song in a studio, and you hit 550/551 notes, why would you re-record the whole song if you could just fix the one mistake on the fly? Its that kind of stuff Im okay with.

Also, when it comes to pain-to-tune instruments like the Piano, some notes could be a couple of Cents out of tune, eventhough your singing them properly. Autotune can help adjust the tuning very slightly, so all the instruments match up.

I'm against the "t-pain" and the whole like, if you cant sing, autotune can help. and also, they shouldnt be used in a live setting, thats cheating.

That's why I listen to metal...Power-metal.I love real singing.

Sadly that is getting infected to. Mastodon is already using it and it is getting closer and closer to Power-metal....the end is nigh when we get O Fortuna...

I think it's a sad cop-out used by talentless people. Why in the world are we stuck listening to people who have to use autotuners to be able to sing when there are actually talented people out there?

It doesn't really bother me and it depends on who is using it. IE: I can listen to DP for hours but if it's Lil Wayne, not so much.

YES! That's why metal is the way ;)

It is horrible, and I kinda find it as an insult to actual talent in music. That is why I don't like most rap or hip hop these days.

It doesn't bother me as long as it sounds good.

"Do you believe in life after love...after love...after love"

Yes! Ever since the first time ive heard it.

Ugh. I hate it with a vengence.

Is there really any skill in singing crappy and changing using a program to mak it not crappy?

YES! That's why metal is the way ;)

I dont like it when they use the same effect over and over again, at the end they all end up souding the same, while some of them have actually devent voices

unfortunately, it's almost all my roommate listens to, so I'm drowning it out with Rush right now. My roommate listens to talentless piece of **** musicians.

I despise it.
