It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

RE: I'm Not Blaming NPR.........

"My 15 year old daughter does not know the difference between a banjo and a guitar. She likes pop music..., on the way to school last week I asked her why do singers use Auto - tune and I waited for her to ask me what is was.... To my shock she said everyone uses auto -tune...."

No shocker there........

"I asked her how did she know about Auto tune.... She said everyone knows it..,she said singers use it to sound 'modern'😀. I was stunned that she knew what it was."

I've encountered singers even younger, who've stated the exact same thing.

It's a culture that seems harmless on the surface, but I think will in time ruin music as we know it. Unless listeners are familiar with the songs being played, they'll have a hard time recognizing who's singing what. Auto-Tune takes the unique character of an individual singer's voice and makes it sound like every other modern singer.

The worst part of Auto-Tune is that it makes singers think they can sound great with minimal training. As I stated many times before, this is why we no longer have great singers like we once had. And singers who would likely refuse to sing in public without it. In my opinion, it is the single worst thing to happen to music, during my lifetime.
