I watched an Aretha Franklin tribute the other night and somebody
tried to put pitch correction on Stevie Wonder. It was terrible.
Stevie uses too many vocal tricks for any live autotune device I have
ever seen. It gargled through the whole performance.

Weird. I would assume that someone like Stevie can sing in tune fairly
well without any help. So why would anyone do that to him?

That was my thinking. Maybe his monitors were bad, Maybe the
engineer was really CAPTAIN AUDIO!!! Master of buttons, knobs and
faders.

I don't know who was at fault, but it was so bad my wife noticed it
before I ever said anything.

Why the hell would anybody feel the need to pitch correct Stevie Wonder?

Because the toys were in the rack, and STevie's management
didn't tell the buffoon not to use the toys just because
they're in hte rack. Had I been in the place of STevie's
management I would have made sure any and all sound people
knew to leave the autotune bull**** alone, the only place we
want it is totally out of the signal path.

YOu can suck out the frequency, but you can't frequency
out the suck.

Because the concept of knowing how and when to sing out of tune is
unknown to very many people. Intonation is a very unsimple concept.
