...but i'm not quite sure. decide for your self:
http://www.myspace.com/boniver
the new EP "blood bank" is streaming on there for the time being and the track i'm refering to is "woods". it is such a ridiculous exploitation of auto tune that i think i like it. oh, AND it is only vocals, AND it is one line repeated over and over for about 5 minutes with various harmonies and such added as the song progresses.
John Cage once said: "If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all."
this is kind of how i feel about this track. anyway discuss amongst yourselves...
i think Bon Iver made me like autotune...

Funny, I was actually thinking about posting a sorta similar thing. I just got an Ayria CD (bad dance-y industrial is my biggest guilty pleasure), and she uses autotune in really cool ways on some songs, just to make her voice sound more robotic in parts (at least, that's what my ears are telling me). She can definitely sing without it; she doesn't autotune the parts that are hard to sing, she just autotunes the beginning of some lines to make the vocals sound sorta different. And I found that I really dig it; it's using that "autotune sound" as a effect rather than using autotune as a pitch correction tool, and it works really well for what she does with it imo.

yeah i think some of the later parts definitely sound like some vocoder action going on now that you bring that up, i just went back to try and compare, but alas the song is gone, so now this thread is dead in the water until people get the record and start debating it again.DrummerMan wrote:sounds like a vocorder to me, but I could be wrong...
maybe, we'll just turn this into a good examples of mechanized vocals thread???
