AA3 - Week 5 - Production Outside the Square (2)
This week Luke and I teamed up to experiment with the Antares Auto-tune plugin. I have used this quite extensively in the past, so we tried to use it out of its intended context. Note - my MP3s are the same as Luke's.
For this first example I sung a glissando line from low to high, then used auto-tune set to C minor with the retune speed set to fastest. The result is more humorous than it is useful.

The next example took the previous concept a step further. I sung a guitar solo, then we added auto-tune with the same settings as before and ran it through Amplitube to add distortion. The result is a fairly believable-sounding guitar solo.

Finally we tested out auto-tune on my cello. I purposefully did not tune it beforehand, so the results would be more obvious. Auto-tune was set to D minor with medium retune speed. Pitch-correction can be heard on the second note, which means the G string was probably out of tune.

AutoTune? Worthy of a university lecture?
You'll be asking that question a lot...
Love your lead guitar samples... you're going to put us guitarists out of business. Or were we even in it to begin with? Hmmmm yes, hmmm
F'N' Maaaadddd!! I love the way autoTune creates very guitar like trills, plus the distorted hiss that Amplitube added to your breath noise upped the perceived authenticity a notch..
