autotune

[johncomic]

I hope: that autotune is like disco -- something that lends an electronic sameness to popular music, making pretty much all artists sound interchangeable... something that enjoys a brief vogue for a few years [although it feels like it drags on forever] but eventually everyone gets tired of it.

I fear: that autotune is like multitracking or click tracks -- something that is seen as an indispensable tool for making recorded music sound “good”... something that those who record popular music will never voluntarily do without, now that they have it at their disposal.

Time will tell, I suppose...

“Pretentious hipster twaddle”? :D I dunno if I'd say that -- I usually have a low tolerance for such. Arty and odd, sure, I'd say that.

Mind you, I didn't read them all, maybe I just picked the “wrong” ones, and narrowly avoided the PHT. :D
