I don't like the sound of it, and it takes too much time. If the vocal does not need it, then NOOO I don't use it. The quickest way to make a recording sound unprofessional is to have timing issues and off pitch notes.Īnyways, back to your question. For metal, it was just too sloppy.so I beat detected it all. The drummer could stay with the click really well, but not right on it. I just did a session this past weekend recording a Heavy Hard Rock/Metal band.

One of the most asked questions from bands is "do you have auto-tune and beat detective." Hopefully you can say yes, and know how to use them if needed. I don't care what anyone else says about "No I don't ever use auto-tune.if they can't sing, then let them suck." Good luck to you then as a modern engineer today. You are hired to do a job.and that is to get the artist a great recording and make them sound good.

crank em out, get em out.Ĭould phasing issues or other random artifacts introduce themselves? One writer said a lot of the producers that she works with will have autotune on everything. Lately, all the sessions I have (pop) are people with deadlines and they need X song by X time. These sessions aren't really for an artist per se, more about getting the take as good as it can be in as little time as possible. I usually do everything by hand as well via melodyne. I'm definitely in agreement with this, I am also more about the performance than anything else, and (even tho it may hurt) have no problem comping. So do I use it on every sing vocal track? No, its just another tool in my belt that has a time and place. When you have so many vocal parts in harmony stacking up, its not always easy to make sure they are perfectly in tune. I also almost always autotune the oohs or ahhs or woahhs in the backgrounds of choruses. Its when I get an artist who either requests autotune or has one day to do vocals on a 6 song EP that I'll end up autotuning the shite out of it to save time. The vocals seem to actually "live" that way. If the artist has the budget and time I crank out each line, phrase by phrase so that it is naturally in tune. Like immortal gropher says, if its a little flat who cares as long as it sounds good. Seriously though, I only autotune when i NEED to.
