"By auto-tune, you mean the singers, right? To me, that means that they are not good singers, so I don't listen to them."
Not necessarily..... Auto-Tune is being added indiscriminately to even classic singers on remasters. Frank Sinatra has been a big victim here. (On another forum, someone stated he mistook Sinatra for Michael Buble.... I'd bet he listened a remaster with Auto-Tune applied. I think nobody would mistake unadulterated Sinatra for another singer, especially an Auto-Tuned one.) The producers/engineers think nobody would notice, but we notice it, and I've actually tossed CDs in the trash......
I've also heard Auto-Tune applied to violinists and symphony orchestras..... Anything where deviations from perfect pitch is an issue. Once again, not necessarily poorer performers. But indiscriminately, the engineers think they're doing the listeners a favor, where they're actually doing just the opposite.
