Didn't read through the whole thread, but I saw the first post;
Who in the hell puts an autotune on a singer like Billy Joel, LIVE??!#*&!?
Why are such engineers (not even worth the title) hired
to suck the living hell out of such talents?
This is the consequence of letting major untalented 'artists' like Spears
and the Simpson-sisters 'sing' at such big events and f*ck it up big time!
So they hire (what I suspect) a very young engineer, not because he
has a skill, but because he's someone's f*cking nephew or something like that,
and his father is doing his father a favour, for example, and this so-called engineer knows dick
about guys like Billy Joel, because he's too young to remember.So it's
not the engineer's fault (if it would be a 20 year old).
This story is always repeating itself for decades...
I mean, I'm not really a Celine Dion-fan, but she sings ON KEY!
Same goes for Billy Joel, everyone knows that you sign your own death-warrant,
if you put an autotune on such vocals.
A week ago, I started a thread about Harry Nilsson.
Imagine that they put an autotune on his voice, in other words, kill all the imaginable emotions that are present in his voice...singing LIVE...
So realize that there are amatures everywhere, even at the Superbowl...worthless...

That felt good...enough ranting for today
