What I was really interested in, starting this thread, is the public's increasing awareness of A-T and whether that will make them even more cynical about pop music. (And if you don't think cynicism and the relationship of the public with pop artists is a real issue, try and get someone under the age of 30 to pay for music. )

Also, I was wondering if (and maybe secretly hoping that) the added exposure, explanation, and isolation and analysis of the sound of the tool/effect as demonstrated in these radio pieces and other media exposure might accelerate the eventual burn-out of the public on tuning-as-effect.
Agreed. It's possible to use this tools transparent. Today people throw a sloppy AT on everything and it sounds like shit. Where's the ears?? Would like to send them an Alanis record or something so they get the vibe of a 'vocal performance'.
