I responded

I run an analog room without autotune.

He answered

Everything else sound rite tho

I have no response to this, as I have no idea what he means.

This is where you recommend one or two of your local/regional competitors, then send them a message that they should expect a cryptic email from someone you steered in their direction.

They may react in any number of ways.

I?m sure you noted that the rate of capitalization decreased exponentially in the second missive. I take this as a dire omen. I?ve taken the liberty of consulting the I-Chin for you and apparently there will be no advantage to meeting the great man. The situation is evolving slowly, and Yin is gaining ground.

No, no, no, no!!!!

Can't you guys READ?!?

He wants to conduct an "Auto-Tune Sound Rite!" Candles, incense, peppermint, people chanting with sticks; odd-time meters (15/8, 24/16, etc.). Do NOT respond any further, and do NOT answer the phone (or you'll wind-up like Ringo almost did, with the red baloon full of paint and the bow and arrow and all of that; you'll be lucky if you _only_ lose your finger!)...

NO AUTO-TUNE SOUND RITES! They are _very_ dangerous.

It's all gab, disemboweling.

Correct, at least-- "Not if I get the boot in, first..."

i got one of these last year from a band in Kiev. different enough, though, to tell it was really a person.

On re-reading his first email to you, I think he's actually offering you a gig in Ohio in July, at which YOU will be singing A Chorus, presumably through Autotune (or Somethin).

Do you find it insulting that he's just ASSUMING you need Autotune (or Somethin) to sing A Chorus?

sly_h · Post by **sly_h** » Thu Apr 21, 2011 3:22 am

I would have called local EMS, it starts off coherent then I think he strokes out or he's playing illiterate to try to get sympathy from you to give him a reduced rate....

either way I bet he's the next big thing!!
