Default Autotune live

Hello

When I was on a forum for fans of a popular singer an argument broke
out between this guy and these two girls about a particular song that
was included in the 2nd leg of the tour. One of the girls (who I know
is married to a vocal coach so she should know what she's talking
about) said when they sang a particular high note in this song at
times it was pitchy. She was up close and went to a few of the
concerts.

However this guy said that during the tour, on the upper range of
their voice he thought he heard naunces that people have told him what
autotune does to your voice. He did say that these were very few and
far between and that he doesn't think that they use it that often, if
at all. Then another women said that at the end of the tour the
singer had gone sharp on the high C.

So taking all this into account do you think it was possible that
autotune was in use on a low setting for certain parts of the tour or
maybe it was on such a low setting that it didn't correct the high C.
This guy did say that he couldn't be sure that this was autotune that
he was hearing and certainly at a big concert it could be anything
which he heard. Do you think it was possible that the singer on some
night fet their voice was a bit rough and thought autotune would help?

Also, the women said that they have never seen the autotune boxes at
their concerts. Does this box have to be situated in the PA area or
can it be under the stage?


Why so coy? Who's the singer? You would probably get a better answer.
Vocal effects/shapers are starting to be sold like guitar pedals so its not
really the shameful thing it used to be.
