about
his
use
of
auto-tu e,
eveali g
that
he
has
elied
o
the
tech ology
fo
some
of
his
so gs.
His
admissio
comes
as
a
su p ise
to
ma y
fa s
who
have
lo g
associated
auto-tu e
with
si ge s
who
may

vocal
abilities.So u
discussed
how
the
evolutio
of
music
p oductio
has
cha ged
the
way
si ge s
app oach
eco di gs.
He
ack owledged
that
he
was
fo tu ate
to
t ai
a d
p actise
without
tech ological
assista ce,
but
believes
auto-tu e
has
its
ow
place
i
today’s
music
i dust y.
He
said
i
a
i te view
with
Game
Cha ge s
podcast,
“The
e a
of
auto-tu e
has
ce tai ly
b ought
a
lot
of
cha ges.
People
say
a
lot
of
bad
thi gs
about
it,
but
I
say
‘Jo
bhi
hua
hai
aacha
hua
hai
(Whateve
has
happe ed
is
fo
the
good)’.
I
ea lie
days,
you
had
to
si g
without
auto-tu e,
a d
we
a e
lucky
to
iyaaz
(p actise)
without
it,
a d
ow
we
do ’t
eed
it.”
Despite
this,
So u
admitted
that
he
occasio ally
uses
auto-tu e
himself.
He
explai ed
that
mode
music
is
heavily
digitised
a d
follows
a
much
mo e
p ecise
pitch
st uctu e
compa ed
to
the
days
whe
si ge s
pe fo med
alo gside
live
musicia s.“But
still,
I
would
say
I
use
auto-tu e
o
ce tai
so gs
of
mi e.
Eve ythi g
ow
is
so
440;
p eviously,
eve ythi g
was
live.
We
had
live
sa a gi;
live
st i gs,
so
somewhe e
ou
pitch
did ’t
have
to
be
pe fect.
Eve ythi g
ow
is
digitised;
eve ythi g
is
goi g
i
a
st aight
li e,
a d
you
voice
will
sou d
off
if
it’s
aw.
P eviously,
with
live
music,
we
used
to
adjust
acco di g
to
the
live
music,
but
ow
you
so g
will
sta d
out.”So u
also
d ew
a
clea
li e
betwee
usi g
auto-tu e
as
a
fi ishi g
tool
a d
usi g
it
to
make
up
fo
a
lack
of
si gi g
ability.
Acco di g
to
him,
si ge s
should
fi st
delive
a
st o g
pe fo ma ce
befo e
elyi g
o
tech ology
to
make

co ectio s.“It’s
ou
espo sibility
that
we
do ’t
use
the
esou ces
to
fix
the
voices
of
those
who
ca ’t
si g.
You
give
you
99%
a d
b i g
it
to
100%
with
auto-tu e.
Ma y
acto s
use

fo
thei

a d
it’s
absolutely
fi e
if
they
