How much of the different voice stylings of Prince are actual his and how many are computer generated sounds?

early stuff was not done with a computer but the old fassion way...playing with the recording or play back speed and pitch and stuff like that.

in some recent songs he has used filters such as auto-tune... but i think most of it is his real voice.

Prince has hit some pretty high notes over the yrs so I'm just wondering.

oh man! the org ate my post:

I said 87 octaves!

Documents the astounding vocal range of the one and only Prince Nelson Rogers, which expands 4 Octaves, 3 Notes and 2 Semitones. His is E2 - C#7.

Are we talking with or without falsetto. Cause if that is withiut the falsetto, it's about the double or more of a normal range. A normal range is usually about 2 octaves and maybe a few notes

WITH falsetto, of course!

And 2 octaves and "maybe a few notes" certainly isn't "normal" range It's the range of a good singer with a powerful chest voice.

Not sure about his range, but I wish he would experiment more with his voice as an instrument (through alterations and distortions, combined with a capella elements to juxtapose).
