#Autotune studio software#

Since rising to fame as the weird techno-warble effect in the chorus of CherвЂ™s 1998 song, вЂњBelieve,вЂќ Auto-Tune has become bitchy shorthand for saying somebody canвЂ™t sing. So much for showing the world the authentic Ke$ha. вЂњShe may be able to sing, but she or the producer chose to put her voice through Auto-Tune or a similar plug-in as an aesthetic choice.вЂќ

вЂњThatвЂ™s pitch correction software for sure,вЂќ wrote Drew Waters, Head of Studio Operations at Capitol Records, in an email. Warrior starts with a shredding electrical static noise, then comes her voice, sounding like what the Guardian called вЂњa robo squawk devoid of all emotion.вЂќ вЂњNo, I got, like, bummed out when I heard that,вЂќ said Sebert, sadly. вЂњPeople think theyвЂ™ve heard the Auto-Tune, theyвЂ™ve heard the dance hits, but you really have a great voice, too,вЂќ said Guthrie, helpfully. вЂњAbsolutely,вЂќ Sebert said, gripping the mic nervously in her fingerless black gloves. вЂњWas it really important to let your voice to be heard?вЂќ asked the host, Savannah Guthrie. She was there to promote her new album, Warrior, which was supposed to reveal the authentic her. Yet this past November on the Today Show, the 25-year old Sebert looked vulnerable, standing awkwardly in her skimpy purple, gold, and green unitard. Sebert, whose label did not respond to a request for an interview, has built a persona as a badass wastoid, who told Rolling Stone that all male visitors to her tour bus had to submit to being photographed with their pants down. Much of her sound is due to the pitch correction software, Auto-Tune. Her style is electro pop-y dance music: she alternates between rapping and singing, the choruses of her songs are typically melodic party hooks that bore deep into your brain: вЂњYour love, your love, your love, is my drug!вЂќ And at times, her voice is so heavily processed that it sounds like a cross between a girl and a synthesizer. In January of 2010, Kesha Sebert, known as вЂKe$haвЂ™ debuted at number one on Billboard with her album, Animal.
