New LPTV: "Blackout" Freestyle

Can I have ATS now? This just keeps getting better.

 

Good screams from Chester

 

I know, lol. I've seen them thrice live. I've been a fan since HT! ... er the verses were high pitched?, I just think auto-tune is so overrated and ruins the impact of a song.

 

I don't know man o.o I don't think LP is the kind of band to use machines to do what they can't do without them, just for the effect.

 

It wasn't autotune on the Catalyst. I'm terrible at this...I can remember what people write just not where I read it...But I believe Mike said it was a flanger effect on his voice.

In one of the Ustreams he also said that although some of the stuff sounds like what other people have done, they may not have necessarily made it the same way. Besides, (and I mean no offense by this) Ana has heard the song. A handful of other people have heard the song. Listening to one take of the vocals isn't enough to judge the whole song.

I think the video was interesting, but it's not a good judge of the final product.

 

These vocals could be played over vuvuzelas and animal farts for all I care. Haha I don't see how this song doesn't blow our minds. But that's just me.

 

You tell 'em Derek!

 

oh gosh, blown away. Chester was more than impressive, and the music in the background sounds dark as hell, beautifulLLL

EDIT: Derek's a mastermind here lol, everything you say is greatly appreciated! ^^

 

I think most people are aware of that. I've said this a few times already but it's safe to say people are referring to distorted vocals (whether or not they were created with autotone), and it's very much debatable whether or not they're always necessary.

 

@ derek
i think there is still a difference between auto-tune and pitch-correction. "auto-tune" is a trend. I personally like love-lockdown of kanye-west though. But when you talk about auto-tune, you talk about an effect that is meant to be heard. Pitch-correction is more of cheating in my opinion. I never thought that Chester needs to correct his vocals... I mean, he's a great singer. There are a lot of great live-recordings out there and in the studio... they've got a lot of time to get everything perfect. I would be a little disappointed if Chester used pitch-correction. I'm a singer myself, and I would never use pitch-correction even if the tune of my vocals isn't 100% in tune.

Anyway, I don't think that the Auto-Tune Ana heard on the record is pitch-correction. Because you don't hear it actually. If it's not auto-tune, it has to be another kind of vocal-effect. But not for the means of improving the tunes of the vocals. There are perfectionists, they would rather record vocals a hundred times in order to make it sound perfect. And Chester is way too good to need that.

 

I'm not sure what to make of this to be honest, As of now I'm not loving this song, i still like it but not half as much as almost everyone on the board. Chester rapping is obviously a very cool thing and its clear to see that they are going to try and break some new boundaries but anyway, i can't really judge a song based on a 20 second snippet, i'm sure i'll fall in love with it.

 

Good input, I didn't know that LP have been using it all along and what it's original function was, but just to clarify I wasn't saying they use it because they can't sing well, just for the effect. And I'm only disappointed because it takes away the impact of raw vocals.

 

Fixed

 

Autotune sounds like doo doo to me.


On topic: Is that . . . good? I can't even tell.
