Just finished recording the second song I wrote in 1975
A War protest song from someone in the military at the time
It's only a demo for the singer, so excuse my vocals

Better vocals than a demo I did the vocals on--much better.
I don't know how I missed this.
Sounds quite 70s-ish--which for me is a good thing.
Cool.

As with most things, the more you do it the better. I am also persevering in not using the autotune stuff. I go out of tune on a 'Too'; around the 2:50 mark.

Nice job- and please DON'T use autotune! I won't. I have been trying to learn how to use as many features as I can in Logic, so I will take a look and then forget it.

I am sure we have heard songs where auto tune was used the way it was originally intended, but we either don’t notice or if didn’t bother us One note was corrected & had little bearing on things But used as an effect I find it grating

Yes, the whole auto-tune as an effect is extremely annoying. When autotune songs are on in stores I want to leave the store- literally.

I believe I have mentioned my Doctor’s office plays a station where almost every song uses auto tune as an effect I have learned to tune it out sometimes But when they play a pre auto tune song, I am happy about that

I stopped listening to stations that play “light” rock and pop. Like you guys, some artists use it way too much. You have to ask if it’s because they can’t sing in tune or what? I was listening to a Christmas music station during Christmas time and all the newer versions of tunes done by the current up and coming stars were all using auto tune and they sounded horrible.

That's awful I ‘m not sure if it’s her fault or the producer’s fault, or some combination But who do we bring a class action lawsuit against for the assault on our ears? ;(

Somehow it is even worse when they wreck Christmas music with autotune. Is nothing sacred? (Pun intended)

That's awful You can’t blame Cher as she used it as an effect on one song. Suddenly everyone was using it on entire albums.
