Well ain't that just a shitter :(

I suppose I'd only notice it when used for deliberate effect (or Vocodered or whatever - fiddled about wiv wiv knobs and that anyway). I wonder if all those cracked and out of tune kinda vocalists I like are actually pitch perfect and use it as an autountuner? Absolutely would not surprise me for a second sadly :\
 
I don't think it can be used in reverse, without just talking, which will create a kind of Kanye West effect. I think so, anyway. He did a whole album using that horrible robot voice effect. For example, the tune where he's ripped off Daft Punk - who already use autotune, but in a good way (IMO). I hate that cunt.

Sad but true. I'd say more than 99%. It's just an adopted part of the production process now and virtually undetectable when used as a correction tool.

Sad but true. Even in the days before 'Autotune' itself, pitches were bent and played and played around with in the studio, and nobody complains about it happening with percussion do they? It's alarming how many 'real' drummers out there can barely keep time.

To those of you with Smiths / Morrissey records, go back and play a game of 'spot the pitch bend'. You didn't think he could really hit and hold those notes quite so smoothly, did you? And that was nearly thirty years ago on an independent record label.
 
There you go, if you want to shout that Kanye West "ripped off" Daft Punk then you really need to start shouting about Daft Punk "ripping off" Edwin Birdsong, especially as that is practically the same song haha. What have they really changed there? Chopped it up a bit, put that compressor effect thing on the sample/kick & added the (likely also sampled from something) "Work it harder, do it better..." vocal to it.

If anything Kanye's track is much more different from the sample source (& therefore less of a "rip off") than Daft Punk's is.

Sorry, I get a bit annoyed at people referring to tunes containing a sample as "rip offs" just because they recognise where the sample came from.

Pretty much! You could achieve the same sort of thing using basic programs like Recycle and Reason in about 30 minutes! It's gotta be up there with 'RUN-DMC vs. Jason Nevins - It's Like That' in terms of deviation from the original. Hats off to 'em though, they probably made more money from that one song than Edwin Birdsong did in his entire career.

Slightly off topic, but this is a great resource for DJ's. http://www.whosampled.com/
I like to make my own little loops from the originals then use them in the sampler function on traktor.

This is also a great site for getting free acappellas to overlay on instrumentals. http://www.acapellas4u.co.uk/
 
Continuing with the general offtopicness, has anyone got an acapella of Beastie Boys' 'Fight For Your Right...'? My own sources draw a blank, I don't think it exists. I've got a terrible urge to mash it up with a couple of things.

I'll get it for you now if you like?

Edit: Actually, you're right. It's not on a the database. :/

Crackhead: I honestly should have said sampled, there. I know it's a sample - I just hate the cunt, and wanted to voice that. I don't believe you're a fan, are you? I might be wrong, but I'm sure you've said before that you dislike him. Daft Punk's version is called Around the World. :) I know they just do stuff with samples and synthesizers, but I think they do it well. Anyway, way off topic. Fuck, I abhor him. Haha. :D
 
A lot of the best bands of the early 90's where "cockrock" bands that saw the light. Soundgarden were basically a hair metal band before 1991 when it all fell into place with Badmotorfinger. Page Hamilton of Helmet and Tom Morello from Rage Against th Machine also gave away a lot of their roots by putting in those fret wanky guitar solo's. Then take Alice in Chains. Theres stuff on Dirt that sounds like Bon Jovi (chorus on rain when i did for instance)but we "hear" it differently because its Layne Staley, the smack lord that was too fucked up to record anything worth listening to post 1992. Dont get me wrong, i'm not saying its all "listeners perception" or some post-modernist relativist wank speak, i just think it has nothing to do with genres and all to do with attitude and artistic sincerity. Gun's n Roses went from Mr Brownstone to November Rain in about that same time frame ad Dizzee Rascal went from I Luv U to whatever mess was on Maths n English (cant even remember a single track title off that one). I dont know if the Rascal qualifies as rap but fuck it i'm even older than Part time Crackhead at 28 ans therefore must be given a reasonable amount of slack due to my old timer status. Fuck, if anyone thinks musics all gone to shit now they ned to turn off MTV and Tinie Tempah or whatever and get downloading Burial's complete discography. In fact, the day that music dies is the day i'll pull the plug, just to get us back on topic like.
