Popular culture is a place where pity is called compassion, flattery is called love, propaganda is called knowledge, tension is called peace, gossip is called news, and auto-tune is called singing.
Criss Jami (Killosophy)
Technology is a big destroyer of emotion and truth. Auto-tuning doesn’t do anything for creativity. Yeah, it makes it easier and you can get home sooner; but it doesn’t make you a more creative person. That’s the disease we have to fight in any creative field: ease of use.
Jack White
When you have two notes from two different performances Auto-Tuned, it sounds like a car horn. And then you add harmonies, and it starts to sound like baby seals honking." - Tom Lord-Alge on Auto-Tune
Greg Milner (Perfecting Sound Forever: An Aural History of Recorded Music)
The popular music wasn’t interesting-bad, it was bad-bad. Auto-Tuned vocalists who couldn’t really sing; offensively simplistic instrumentation; grating melodies. Like they thought we were stupid.
Leila Sales (This Song Will Save Your Life)
Becoming one with the wave is about as authentic and personally harmonizing an experience as you can get in these phony days of Auto-Tune.
Sol Luckman (Musings from a Small Island: Everything under the Sun)
I wanted to kill Auto-Tune like Kurt Cobain killed the hair bands.
Jay-Z (Decoded)
Entertainers and barely talented singers shouldn't be voicing their opinion on the political sphere; go try and sing without autotune and actually hit a note, before using your voicebox to speak on topics you don't have the range for, when you don't even have the range to sing your own songs live. — I don't listen to any of these fools, I don't visit their social media pages, I don't care, outside of their entertainer projects, what they do, because that's all they are... OVERPAID ENTERTAINERS.

By the way, this tells you why Auto-Tuned vocals on many contemporary records sound so shallow and lifeless. It’s almost as if everything we learned from African American music during the twentieth century was thrown out the window by technologies in the twenty-first century. The goal should not be to sing every note dead center in the middle of the pitch---we escaped from that musical prison a hundred years ago. Why go back? In an odd sort of way, much of contemporary pop music resembles opera, with all the subtle shadings of bent notes and microtonal alterations abandoned in the quest for mathematically pure tones.
Ted Gioia (How to Listen to Jazz)
Labor of AI (The Sonnet) Asking AI to help you write, is not writing. Asking AI to tune your voice, is not singing. Asking AI to help you paint, is not painting. Asking AI to help you code, is not coding. Asking AI to help you create, is not creativity. Asking AI to build your dream, is not dreaming. Asking AI to narrate books, is not storytelling. AI oughta do manual labor, so humans can do the creating.
Abhijit Naskar (The Divine Refugee)
As I saw how powerful and affirming this ancient blessing could be, I decided it was time for Christian women to take back Proverbs 31. Somewhere along the way, we surrendered it to the same people who invented airbrushing and Auto-Tune and Rachel Ray. We abandoned the meaning of the poem by focusing on the specifics, and it became just another impossible standard by which to measure our failures. We turned an anthem into an assignment, a poem into a job description. But according to Ahava, the woman described in Proverbs 31 is not some ideal that exists out there; she is present in each one of us when we do even the smallest things with valor.
Rachel Held Evans (A Year of Biblical Womanhood)
‪There is autotune where a voice can be enhanced, embellished and gently shifted or corrected to pitch.‬ ‪Then there is autotuna which stinks to high hell in the excess of making people sound talented that have little to none at all.‬
Loren Weisman
AI Deception (The Sonnet) Anybody can be a singer using Autotune, Using ChatGPT anybody can be a writer. But I'm yet to find an AI that can compose, Love thy neighbor, or love has no gender. Yet the problem is, neither human nor AI can detect AI generation. The world is already being flooded with soulless, deceitful creation. In the midst of such grave misgivings, Honor alone can bring illumination. Before you place anyone on pedestal, Observe character beyond the creation. Even I use photoshop, to enhance my covers, But the words beneath are unvarnished Naskar. AI can be a great help if you know how to use it honorably, so originality is empowered.

Chatgpt is Cheatgpt (The Sonnet) Download autotune and everybody is a singer, download midjourney and everybody is a painter, download chatgpt and everybody is a writer. This is not innovation, it is fraud, and those who practice it, are the lowest form of animals on earth. Either do something original, or expand on another's originality, with honor and integrity, but never confuse plagiarism with creativity. Chatgpt is cheatgpt, Better do manual labor than lie. Even onlyfans is more honorable than content made by Generative AI.

The singer was so heavily auto-tuned she sounded like a Cylon. From the original Battlestar Galactica, I mean, not one of the sexy clone types from the reboot. After
Michael C. Bailey (Team-Ups (Action Figures, #5))
Wayne got weird.8 He grew out his dreads and covered his body with goonish tattoos. He smoked weed like it was his job and developed an addiction to codeine-based cough syrup. His voice became screwed up and froggy. His production turned psychedelic. In 2003, he’d been a skinny, unexceptional adolescent delivering basic-sounding rhymes over basic-sounding beats. By 2005, he had transformed himself into The Illustrated Man, and his auto-tuned music sounded like garbled transmissions from outer space.
Stephen Witt (How Music Got Free)
Autotune is West's personal barometer for measuring sentimentality, this time directed at his daughter, North.

In an odd sort of way, much of contemporary pop music resembles opera, with all the subtle shadings of bent notes and microtonal alterations abandoned in the quest for mathematically pure tones. In theory, software should be able to re-create all the nuances of analog Africanized sound, but judging by the pop records I hear, we are still a long way from realizing that goal.

Go to a traditional folk music festival. The quality of the playing and singing will blow your mind. But like the rise in vinyl record production, house shows, and other aspects of hipster culture, it is quintessentially “analog”—the sonic equivalent of the farm-to-table movement. The great electronic musician and producer Brian Eno, who has been working in funky analog studios in West Africa, has begun to question the very raison d’être of digital recording, which, thanks to Auto-Tune (the tech tool that allows engineers to correct singers with bad pitch), makes it possible to turn a second-rate singer into a diva: “We can quantize everything now; we can quantize audio so the beat is absolutely perfect. We can sort of do and undo everything. And of course, most of the records we like, all of us, as listeners, are records where people didn’t do everything to fix them up and make them perfect.” Tech’s perfection tools do not make for human art.

WhatsApp: +1 (443) 859 - 2886 Email @ digitaltechguard.com Telegram: digitaltechguard.com Website link: digitaltechguard.com The scent of freshly brewed espresso and vintage Led Zeppelin records should have been my retirement anthem. But I was hunched over a computer in my still-under-construction vinyl record cafe, screaming at a blockchain explorer as if it just ridiculed my acoustic session. My life savings, $430,000 worth of Bitcoin, carefully earned over a decade of writing alt-rock ballads for car commercials, vanished into thin air. The culprit? Some smooth "investment manager" who'd promised me "Taylor Swift-level returns" on crypto staking, then bailed faster than my band's 2008 reunion tour.  The scam was a cringe symphony.Guy had a LinkedIn profile dotted with adjectives such as "Web3 maestro" and "DeFi virtuoso," an autotuned elevator jazz playing website, and a contractual loophole big enough to drive a tour bus through. I signed over access like a groupie handing over backstage passes. Poof. Gone. Money. My café's espresso machine sat in its box, accusatorially. My spouse said I needed to "get a real job again." Even my dog gave me the side eye. Enter my drummer, Chad, a guy who had escaped a festival pyro tragedy by jumping into a kiddie pool. He texted me: "Bro, look at Digital Tech Guard Recovery. They're crypto Roadies." I pictured a group of pierced hackers in black hoodies, blowing gum and cracking firewalls. Good enough. Digitals crew followed the scambot's trail with the ferocity of a producer hunting for the perfect bassline. The crook had routed my Bitcoin through privacy coins, obscured wallets, and exchanges located in countries that I couldn't spell. Their engineers stalked his path like a creep watching a pop star's concert tour schedule, in cooperation with Interpol and a Cypriot bank used also as a hub for meme stocks. As it turns out, my "maestro" had become careless, stashing money in a wallet associated with a failed NFT venture named "Aping for Jesus." Typical. Sixteen days later, my wallet beeped. Balance returned. No taunting, only a curt email: "Scammer's assets frozen. Your money's back. Buy better speakers." I blasted "Eye of the Tiger" through the café sound system, shocking a hipster with oat milk. The espresso machine finally came online. Digital Tech Guard Recovery didn't just restore my cryptocurrency; they wrote the encore for my midlife crisis. My café exists today, littered with grail-worthy records on the walls and a tip cup emblazoned "ETH accepted." Chad's no longer on the espresso machine, but he's got free coffee for life. If your cryptocurrency is ever swindled by a cyber rockstar, don't go into existential tailspin. Call the Digitals. They'll turn your faceplant into a victory lap. Just maybe screen your "maestros" harder than your band's setlist.
