In my last post, I talked about how T-Pain was the most influential artist of our generation. You may or may not have agreed but hopefully you were at least exposed to a new perspective on this topic. T-Pain essentially began the huge trend of autotune filled music that we see filling up a large part of our music (mainly hip-hop/rap) Today, I want to evaluate his influence. Has it lowered the expectations for how talented modern day artists need to be?

This is the main question that arises when people contemplate autotune’s impact on the music industry. In most cases, I don’t think autotune is actually able to override the important of actual artistic talent. An artist really does have to have a creative spark or simply talented. If this wasn’t the case, wouldn’t anyone who has a passion for music rise to stardom?
Let’s take a look at various artists in the industry. will.i.am is an interesting example. This artist’s voice is rather average (for a lack of a better term). If you have heard him without autotune, you might really think he’s just another guy singing. Not bad, but also not that good. So why is he famous? It’s his artistic talent and creativity. will.i.am has a very unique sound and vision for his music. He truly goes the extra mile to make sure that the production of all his music has a particular sound, and that the music videos for his songs are radiating a modern vibe. Take a look for yourself!
This applies to a lot of artists. Take a look at Kanye West’s 808s & Heartbreak. Kanye’s voice is not particularly good either, but his creativity and concepts that he brought out on this album made this a groundbreaking record. This album made Rolling Stone’s list of 40 most groundbreaking albums of al time. Autotune was used all over this album, but that didn’t necessarily reduce the creativity or artistry behind the music!
Chances are that if an artist reaches a point of popularity by using autotune (and completely lacks creativity/artistry), it is by luck and won’t last long. People easily discover “fake” artists, and love to expose them. You might remember Rebecca Black from 2011. Here’s a reminder of her work incase you forgot!
Black used autotune extensively, and her lack of true talent resulted in a complete annihilation of this song in the mainstream view. The production is also rather bad, and the autotune is not used with good synthesis. Friday was also essentially the only popular song that Rebecca Black made, and it can be seen how autotune cannot make up for a lack of artistry.
Autotune also inspired artists like Future, Desiigner, Travis Scott, Young Thug, Lil Yatchy etc. These artists along with various other’s have formed a new sound in music known as Trap. The vocals don’t sound like anything meaningful and the words are hard to discern. These lyrics are recorded over a beat with a deep moaning bass and shimmering hi-hats. This new sound has gathered a new following, and while it is gaining popularity, a majority of music listeners still disregard this music because it is “trashy” and “lacks creativity”.
Autotune was originally a good thing, it just tuned singers that were out of tune. But like with everything else people find different ways to use it and you get that annoying things your talking about. But the initial use of autotune is present in 90% of mainstream music so you can’t call autotune itself annoying just the alternate uses.
But is this really talentless music? I think the idea of “talent” in music in itself is very subjective. What might sound creative and novel to one person, might sound absolutely awful to another (as seen in the case of Trap Music). When it comes to the use of autotune, it is important to draw the line between talentless music and unconventional music . Trap, for example, would fit in the category of unconventional because it is exploring a new sound that hasn’t existed until fairly recently. However, this different sound still has an authentic sense of creativity in that it is exploring a new sound. The difference still lies in that the popularity of these artists is dependent on creativity, rather than their use of autotune.
Let’s wrap all this up! Essentially, autotune has not enabled talentless artists to reach success in music. For an artists to be successful and/or pioneer in sound, he or she must depend greatly on the creative aspects of their music rather than autotune. The autotune is only ever used as something that complements the creativity.

Hey, this is Jason from Behind The Speakers and today we’re gonna be talking about all things AutoTune. I’m gonna show you exactly how to use it to tune a vocal, which settings I recommend, which to avoid, how to go about it from start to finish. So if you’re wondering how to use AutoTune like a pro, you’re definitely in the right place.
Now before we dive in, I also put together an AutoTune cheatsheet that summarizes everything we’ll be covering today and also includes the exact settings I recommend for the most transparent, natural sound. So this way, you can avoid all those artifacts and glitches that’ll make your vocals sound amateur. Now if you want to download this, it’s completely free. Just click the link in the description below or up there on the video and you’ll get instant access.
So I have a track here called “Docs” by Leah Capelle, and before we dive in, Leah’s an amazing singer and so I actually had to detune her vocals to get things right for this demo. So I want to let you know that this is not how Leah’s vocals sounded when they were sent to me.
So let’s take a listen to the first couple of lines in verse one.

So not terrible by any means, but I think we can tighten things up with some AutoTune.
So if you take a look over here, you’ll see there are some other plugins on this vocal—de-esser, compressor, EQ—but I’m gonna add AutoTune before all of that, so as the first insert in this track, and this is a good best practice. So you usually want to add tuning before any other plugins on the vocal itself.
So here’s AutoTune, and the first thing I want to show you is that there are two modes in which you can use AutoTune. There’s automatic mode, which is what you’re looking at right now, where you give AutoTune some basic information about the track that you’re trying to tune and AutoTune makes its own decisions about how much tuning to apply, where to apply tuning, so it’s a set-it-and-forget-it mode.
And then, on the other hand, we have graphical mode. So this is a much more manual mode. It takes a lot more time, but you basically go through the track manually and tell AutoTune exactly where to apply tuning, how much to apply, and again, this is a much more manual process. It takes a lot more time than just applying automatic mode, but in my experience, if you’re looking for the most transparent sound, where you don’t hear the artifacts that are so commonly associated with tuning, graphical mode is gonna give you again the most transparent results. So unless you’re looking for that T-Pain style effect where you really hear the artifacts of the tuning or if you’re tuning a background vocal that isn’t very important and you just want to throw something on it and not spend a ton of time tweaking it, I recommend going with graphical mode. You’re just gonna get much better results.
So that’s what we’re gonna be working with today, but regardless of what mode you’re using, the first thing you’re gonna have to set up is this Input Type setting here. So this control basically gives AutoTune some information about the track that it’s working with, and you want to make sure you set this properly because it’s just gonna make it easier for AutoTune to track the pitch of the track that you’re working with, which is gonna have all sorts of benefits down the line.
So we have a couple different settings that we can apply here. Three refer to vocals, so these three are what you’d use if you were working with a vocal track, and then these two down here are for instrumental tracks. So as you’ll notice, these three settings for vocals basically apply to the range of the vocalist. So we have Soprano, which is the highest range, so this is when the singer would sing very notes. Then we have Alto or Tenor, which is, an alto is essentially a lower female vocalist and a tenor is a higher male vocalist, so lower in range than a soprano. And then we have the Low Male setting, which is basically the lowest type of vocal, typically a bass singer if you were singing in a choir. And then we have these two instrumental settings, so Instrument, which is just for standard instruments, and then Bass Instrument, which is for something like a bass guitar.
So you want to make sure you set this properly and just make sure you’re choosing the right setting for the track that you’re working with. So you might be wondering, “Well, how do I figure out “if I’m a soprano or an alto? I’m not really sure.” I put a link in the description to a great resource that will help you determine what your range is. So if you’re struggling with that, go click the link in the description for more information.
So I know that Leah is an alto, so I’m gonna set that there. Now I like to leave this tracking here. That’s just fine.
And the next thing you want to make sure you set properly is the key and scale of the song, and this is important because it’s gonna tell AutoTune which notes are considered in-tune and which notes are out of tune. So if you’re wondering how to find the key of the song that you’re working with, again it’s outside the scope of this video, but I put together another resource in the description, there’s a link down there, that’ll give you information about that. So if you’re struggling with that, go ahead and check out that link, but in the meantime, I know this song is in B-flat major, so I’m gonna set that there.
Now everything else up here I like to leave as-is except for this Formant control, and I usually like to leave this on, and basically this tells AutoTune to try to retain as much of the character of the vocal or the track that it’s working with as it makes tuning decisions. So if you find that the tuning starts to make the vocals sound a little bit artificial or robotic, or you’re hearing like a chipmunk-style effect, that might be a great control to turn on. I like to leave it on by default because to my ears, the tuning just sounds more natural with the Formant control engaged.
So now that we have these basic settings set up, we’re gonna turn on this button here, Track, Pitch, and Time and then we’re gonna play this track, and again, I’m only gonna tune the first couple of phrases here but if you’re tuning the entire vocal in your song, you would want to play it from start to finish, and this is basically gonna allow AutoTune to listen to the vocal and collect some information about the notes and phrases and pitch of the track that you’re working with. So I’m gonna play just the first couple of phrases here and let AutoTune do its job.
♪ Goin’ through my closet ♪
♪ Tryin’ on my clothes ♪
♪ Thinkin’ if I can find something stylish ♪
♪ I’ll feel better ♪
♪ I think I’ll get a haircut ♪
♪ And find a fresh new look ♪
♪ Maybe if I just chop all my hair off ♪
♪ I’ll feel better ♪
Okay, so you can see here there is this line, this red line that we have now, and this is basically the line of the pitch of this vocal. So AutoTune has gone through and basically determined the notes and phrases and where the pitch lies in each of them. I’m gonna zoom in a little bit so we can see things a little bit better, and we have these buttons here that basically allow us to zoom in or out. That’s really helpful, especially when your working with larger stretches when you might want to kind of zoom in on one specific area.
Now the first thing that I want to do is turn on this Make Notes control. And so you can see, after I turned that on, you can see these boxes are starting to appear over certain words within this performance. So basically this allows us to create little handles that make it really easy to drag certain parts of the performance up or down in pitch, and it’s just gonna make it much easier when we start to tune. Now you can see that AutoTune’s actually started to apply some tuning to these specific boxes as well. So the red line refers to the original pitch and then this green line refers to the corrected pitch. So you can see AutoTune’s already starting to apply some tuning, and that’s gonna set us off on the right foot. We’re still gonna go through this manually but I like having that layer of automatic tuning enabled as well.
Now you’ll notice as we go through, there are certain areas where we don’t see these boxes. So there are a couple of words here where it looks like these boxes are missing. So we want to turn up this control here called Number of Note Objects, and you’ll see as I turn it up, more and more boxes appear. So the goal is we want boxes on as many of the notes as possible, but we also want to make sure we don’t add too many boxes ’cause that’s just gonna make things a lot more complex and harder to grab specific points of this performance. So right around 80 looks pretty good to me. It looks like we’re pretty much covered. And now we can go through and start tuning this vocal.
Now the one thing I want to mention with tuning, and this is so important, this is the biggest mistake I see people make, is that it’s so important that you listen to the vocal in context with the rest of the tracks in your mix when you’re tuning it. So instead of just soloing the vocal and trying to make tuning decisions in isolation, listen to how the vocal is fitting with the rest of the tracks in your mix.
Now this is so important because tuning is not absolute. It’s relative. So a great example is let’s say you have a guitar track in your mix, and let’s say when you were recording that guitar, the guitar was tuned a little bit sharp. And so when the vocalist sung in context with that guitar, the vocalist had to sing a little bit sharp as well to match that tuning, and in order to sound in tune, the vocalist actually had to be a little bit sharp. And so if you solo that vocal and start tuning it and snap everything to the grid, that vocal might sound perfectly in tune on its own but when you listen to it with the rest of the track, it’s gonna sound out of tune. It’s actually gonna sound flat, right? So depending on what the other tracks are in your mix, you know, tuning again is relative, and so, you can’t just snap things to a grid and expect things to sound good. You gotta make more nuanced decisions.
And so the first thing I want to do is make that we can listen to this vocal in context with the rest of the tracks. Now the most important tracks to listen to are the harmonic tracks, so things like guitars, pads, keyboards, things like that that are contributing actual notes to the performance or the track itself. So I’m gonna turn off the drums because those aren’t really contributing any tonal information. They’re just gonna be a little bit distracting. So now we can just listen to the vocals and the guitars and the bass together and that’s gonna give us enough information to make the right tuning decisions without distracting us.
So the next thing I want to do here before we dive in is turn off this feature called Snap to Note. Now with this feature enabled, if i grab one of these boxes, you’ll see that the box actually snaps to a specific note. So these are the notes right here. And these are notes that AutoTune has determined are in the key of the song, so they are gonna be quote unquote “in tune,” but again going back to what we were talking about where tuning is relative, I want to make sure that I have access to areas in between the notes because depending on the note that I’m tuning, it might be that the correct position for this note might be slightly sharp or slightly flat. So I want to have that flexibility. So I like leaving that Snap to Note feature off.Auto Tune Music Maker
So now that we have the settings set properly, I’m gonna go ahead and play the first phrase of this vocal. So let’s take a listen to what we’re starting with.
♪ Goin’ through my closet ♪
Okay, so keep in mind that’s after some tuning has already been applied, so it already sounds better to my ears, but one thing I’m noticing is that word “through” sounds a little bit flat to me. So take a listen again.
♪ Goin’ through my closet ♪
So this word right here. So I’m gonna drag this up a little bit. Now, you know, if you’re struggling to hear this change, unfortunately, these are things that, you know, you just get better at over time. So I recommend, you know, if you’re new to this, you experiment with things like ear training, starting to identify musical frequencies and things like that. That can help over time and you know, you have to have a little bit of a background in this to know what’s in-tune and what’s out of tune, but really, this is a process of listening to the vocal and trying to identify which parts sound out of tune and then making those adjustments manually. So let’s take a listen again.
♪ Goin’ through my closet ♪
So that sounds good to me. I can maybe even bring this up a little bit.
♪ Goin’ through my closet ♪
So now I’m hearing that these first two notes, the pickup on “goin’ through” sound a little bit flat to me too. So I’m gonna bring these two up, and you notice I clicked my mouse down here and then dragged and you can actually select multiple boxes at once, so that makes it easy to drag these up and down at one time.
♪ Goin’ through my closet ♪How To Make Trap Music Auto Tuned
That may be a little bit too much.
♪ Goin’ through my closet ♪
I think that sounds a little bit too sharp to me.
♪ Goin’ through my closet ♪
Maybe split the difference.
♪ Goin’ through my closet ♪
Cool, so that sounds better to me. Let’s take a listen in bypass, so this is without any tuning.

Now the one thing I want to mention with tuning, and this is so important, this is the biggest mistake I see people make, is that it’s so important that you listen to the vocal in context with the rest of the tracks in your mix when you’re tuning it. So instead of just soloing the vocal and trying to make tuning decisions in isolation, listen to how the vocal is fitting with the rest of the tracks in your mix.
Now this is so important because tuning is not absolute. It’s relative. So a great example is let’s say you have a guitar track in your mix, and let’s say when you were recording that guitar, the guitar was tuned a little bit sharp. And so when the vocalist sung in context with that guitar, the vocalist had to sing a little bit sharp as well to match that tuning, and in order to sound in tune, the vocalist actually had to be a little bit sharp. And so if you solo that vocal and start tuning it and snap everything to the grid, that vocal might sound perfectly in tune on its own but when you listen to it with the rest of the track, it’s gonna sound out of tune. It’s actually gonna sound flat, right? So depending on what the other tracks are in your mix, you know, tuning again is relative, and so, you can’t just snap things to a grid and expect things to sound good. You gotta make more nuanced decisions.
And so the first thing I want to do is make that we can listen to this vocal in context with the rest of the tracks. Now the most important tracks to listen to are the harmonic tracks, so things like guitars, pads, keyboards, things like that that are contributing actual notes to the performance or the track itself. So I’m gonna turn off the drums because those aren’t really contributing any tonal information. They’re just gonna be a little bit distracting. So now we can just listen to the vocals and the guitars and the bass together and that’s gonna give us enough information to make the right tuning decisions without distracting us.
So the next thing I want to do here before we dive in is turn off this feature called Snap to Note. Now with this feature enabled, if i grab one of these boxes, you’ll see that the box actually snaps to a specific note. So these are the notes right here. And these are notes that AutoTune has determined are in the key of the song, so they are gonna be quote unquote “in tune,” but again going back to what we were talking about where tuning is relative, I want to make sure that I have access to areas in between the notes because depending on the note that I’m tuning, it might be that the correct position for this note might be slightly sharp or slightly flat. So I want to have that flexibility. So I like leaving that Snap to Note feature off.Auto Tune Music Maker
So now that we have the settings set properly, I’m gonna go ahead and play the first phrase of this vocal. So let’s take a listen to what we’re starting with.

Okay, so keep in mind that’s after some tuning has already been applied, so it already sounds better to my ears, but one thing I’m noticing is that word “through” sounds a little bit flat to me. So take a listen again.

So this word right here. So I’m gonna drag this up a little bit. Now, you know, if you’re struggling to hear this change, unfortunately, these are things that, you know, you just get better at over time. So I recommend, you know, if you’re new to this, you experiment with things like ear training, starting to identify musical frequencies and things like that. That can help over time and you know, you have to have a little bit of a background in this to know what’s in-tune and what’s out of tune, but really, this is a process of listening to the vocal and trying to identify which parts sound out of tune and then making those adjustments manually. So let’s take a listen again.

So that sounds good to me. I can maybe even bring this up a little bit.

So now I’m hearing that these first two notes, the pickup on “goin’ through” sound a little bit flat to me too. So I’m gonna bring these two up, and you notice I clicked my mouse down here and then dragged and you can actually select multiple boxes at once, so that makes it easy to drag these up and down at one time.

That may be a little bit too much.

I think that sounds a little bit too sharp to me.

Cool, so that sounds better to me. Let’s take a listen in bypass, so this is without any tuning.
