Just relistening to Tracee's foray into modern music making, and it got me to thinking:
Should Diana Ross , as a way of sounding more contemporary , incorporate auto-tune into her current project??

Or maybe another way to ask it is, "Will she?"
She probably won’t but if everyone else does it, maybe “they” will
Been there, done that. She already used this almost 40 years ago on “Muscles”. It was also used on the remix of “Not over you yet”.
She better don't. I heard a very very minimal amount of autotune being used on I Love You for vocal processing/correction. Patti's last album was ruined by that autotune vocal filter. They layed it on heavy. So I hope she doesn't use it at all, in any way, shape or form.
Wasn't she on Oprah and she dismissed artists that needed to use Autotune?
I didn’t think she used Autotune on Muscles. I saw her live in concert when the record was first released and she sounded the same as the record.Quote:

Maybe I’m wrong. Can you please explain to me what exactly is Autotune?Quote:

Nooooo, she should take the time to redub the flat and sharp notes.
I believe autotune corrects sharp or flat notes, basically keeping one in tune. It can also be used for effect. But it wasn't used on MUSCLES, as it wasn't invented until the late 90s.Quote:

Now I'm trying to imagine Michael approaching her with that bit of news, sheepishly: "Uh , excuse me Miss Ross , but could I talk to you about something, if you've got a moment that is ?" hee hee hee....

As for MUSCLES, giving it a listen , I 'm not hearing anything too special being done [[?) in the part you quote khansperac [[ @ 2:30?) , what I'm hearing is some whispery "pillow talk" similar to Sylvias, w/some reverb and voice overlay possibly including Michaels [[?)

that's what I'm hearing anyway.
Thanks for posting the video Boogiedown. Yes that is the part I was referring to.
Bahahaa!! Love that :)Quote:

Ross was in top vocal form, and would have had no reason to use Autotune during this period of her career. Autotune is for young and old singers who have difficulty staying on pitch. Sinatra used it at the end of his career during live performances.
I agree. I saw her live when Muscles was just released. And she sounded just like the record. Her vocals at that time where in top form.Quote:

This was reveled innocently by her great friend Sacha Distel.Quote:
