Here, on a forum for a product that replaces, enhances, stretches and pitch shifts the work of musicians we find a thread that addresses the enhancing, stretching, shifting of the work of musicians that attracts the ire of folk who use the former but abhor the latter.

Some responses suggest the poster didn't get beyond the video description.

Confusion will be my epitaph as I crawl a cracked and broken path, if we make it we can all sit back and laugh, but I fear, tomorrow, I'll be crying.

The video quite simply and effectively exposed how the program is, mostly, unsuited to the purpose of trying to make real vocals perfect, (whilst expanding on the notion of perfect indirectly), as it & the user ignore certain conventions and natural habits/inflections of performers. Mr. Neely does this with humour, as demonstrated in his sarcastic intro.

Adam opts for the use of the software as an audible effect and demonstrates why/how.

Those of us who overdub, edit, compile and mix are committing a significant faux pas in the view of those adherents of Direct To Disc recording, (no, not direct to HDD!).

Me? I'm a grumpy 64 year old white Anglo Saxon male who uses software to approximate correct pitch when left with my own voice as the tool for the moment. I always hope for a collaborator to do the real thing.


Cheers
