RE: If You Hear a Recording of an Oboe, How Do You Prove It's an Oboe?

Your examples are preposterous. WWE wrestlers are real - they exist you can see them jumping around on stage and they are physically doing wrestling moves. Is it real wrestling as to not knowing the outcome at the end - well no. The fact that anyone believed that it was otherwise is the problem.

As for the OBOE - yes you can prove it is in an oboe - go get 20 oboe players to listen to the track and confirm that it is in fact an oboe and not a clarinet.

I think it would be easy - get an EE to go over the Cheek to Cheek album and check every note through a computer and find variation. Her pop albums use it - she says so - you can hear it - it is fairly obvious. She claims the Jazz album claims she doesn't and Mr. Bennett and the recording team says they didn't. Since 99.99% of the music buying public doesn't care (since they bought her auto-tuned FAME album in ridiculously high numbers) there isn't much reason to lie about it. It's not like it will have the slightest impact on sales. Indeed, for Bennett's sake on several cuts it probably NEEDS autotune because well he's not "in-tune" - if auto-tune fixes being in tune then that kind of screams volume that it's not being used on the album - or can you not tell when a singer is off pitch and out of tune? I can and he is.

Illustrate the minute and second mark of the song and explain specifically which note and when there is "obvious" use of autotune. It really is that simple - if you make a claim that it is there then the onus is on you to prove the claim. It is all over Madonna's latest album and it is obvious.

You seem to be the only poster on any forum anywhere that continuously brings up autotune basically hearing it on every album.

It is frankly absurd if you don't think Gaga has a voice - I get not liking her how she rose to fame - her stances on LGBT blah blah but to suggest she can't sing or is only decent via auto-tune is idiotic. Patently idiotic.
