Auto-tune begone Derived from an attempt to emulate the vocoder sounds of the Seventies and Eighties, the auto-tune device employed by T-Pain andmothers is so overused now till it need to be banned.
Some used it as a talk-box, i.e. Jeff Beck in 1973, followed by Peter Frampton, Joe Walsh, Brian May (of Queen), plus useage in the vocodoer from by Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Midnight Star, Brian Eno, Roger Troutman and on and on and on... Enough already! Auto-tune be gone P.S. when Cher used it, such was cute LOL This concept of voice altering in music actually dates back to the 1930s...go figure Music Royalty in Motion | |

No, it had nothing to do with attempting to emulate vocoders originally. Autotune is primarily an automatic pitch-correction program and the vocoder-like effects are only a side-effect caused by misusing it. | |

like any studio trickery, it has its place and is a useful and interesting tool. but like anything else, when it starts showing up on every record and becomes a fad, it becomes completely useless. there will be backlash and it will go unused for a couple of pop music generations and all of these records will sound extremely dated. and in 20 years, there will be a revival... and on and on and on.... | |

THAT'S the difference. 
And it also took real talent to play the talkbox as well. Steve Wonder, Roger Troutman, & Kraftwerk were/are talent keyboardists that knew how to sing/talk through the talkbox and playing the keys to get the robot sounds within the scales of the songs they were proforming.  | |

Thanks...but I am aware of the basic intended used for the auto-tuner modules, but the useage today is to get a vocoer/talk box like effect, and that is so tired an over-used. Music Royalty in Motion | |

I think after Jay Z's Death Of Autotune became a hit there will be alot less of it especially next year. Or none at all. Straight Jacket Funk Affair
