ShAaAaAa~ (autotune), do you do like that? ( Sings more with autotune) APop music's lame--they use too much auto-tune. I guess I can understand what you mean with that...
But...what kind of music do you enjoy?
I like Post Malone and Drake. What?! But they use auto-tune more than, like...anyone else on the radio!
Ha! I don't care! *Stammers* You're ugly!
That's a fair and valid argument--*Civil discourse epic win everybody!*
I first came in contact with auto-tune in high school.
We were recording a song sketch with my band at the time called Wrong Direction--
--and I wasn't really a good singer at the time. If you think I'm a good singer now,
It's because I practiced a lot; not because I--was--born with a lot of natural talents. At this time in my life,
I really sucked. Anyway, for the chorus of the song we were recording, my friend...
--Let's call him Jazza for the sake of this video. He put some auto-tune on my vocals and suddenly, it sounded so much better!
It's funny listening to that song now, because we only used
Auto-tune on the chorus and it just sounds so much better in the chorus than the rest of the song...
Here's a clip of the verse.
"I wonder what has happened to me back then~"
And he-*chuckle*-re's the clip of the chorus.
"And I have nothin' to remember~"
When we heard how much of a difference it made on my singing, we were blown away. Nowadays, auto-tune is just an everyday thing--
People use it in their kitchens, while driving...I-I
don't know. But at that point for us, we felt like we had just discovered the dirtiest secret; the biggest cheat there ever was
However,
we never ended up using it on any of our real recordings because we felt like we didn't want to stoop to the auto-tune
level. Anyway, today's video is a collaboration with my friend Jazza from the channel Draw With Jazza!
I only met him for the first time at VidCon U.S. this year,
but we're already great friends--and his channel is super dope. I just wish he would live closer to the UK than *freaking* Australia
so we could hang out more. For this video
me and Jazza are gonna show you some of the crazy and amazing things you can do with auto-tune.
And I know what you're thinking, This video is not sponsored.
I wish it was...*chuckle* Let's go! PITCH UP!--Pitching up is
a classic and something you can do in a lot of other programs.
What's good about doing it in auto-tune is that it doesn't speed up the audio, and by using this 'throat setting' you can actually
Make it sound really good. For this example
I pitched myself up an octave so that me and Jazza can sing a duet together--where I'm the female. Let's see. Yeah. Hey
Baby! OH MY GOD!~ It makes me change the way I talk! Ah? Why do I feel like I should be a hillbilly?
I love you <3
Can you auto-tune me in post? We can a little bit.
HARD TUNING
Hard tuning is a setting that was popularized by
T-Pain and it kind of sounds like an in-between between a robot and a human. The so-called retune speed is set to zero
meaning that whatever you're singing is taken to the closest perfect pitch notes as quickly as possible.
Listen to me.
ShaAaAaAaA
Do you...do like that
Aa
We could do some harmony
*harmonizes* aah aAh
*sings auto-tune* What if I ate some bagels?!! Ba-laughter-gels!
Jazzy Man: We'll the fry! Room: FRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Tha- No, Not with the Kindergarteners.
That's not okay.
Light Tuning. This setting is the equivalent of discreetly face tuning your selfies for Instagram.
It's used by most artists and it basically just makes your voice sound a bit more unpitched than normal
It's not super noticeable, but it makes your voice sound a bit more clean and modern
CREATE VIBRATO. Create vibrato does exactly that. It creates vibrato, that's exactly that it creates a vibrato based on these parameters. For this example
I decided to go way overboard and make it obvious
that you can actually make it sound really normal
It's very possible that this has been used on a lot of songs I've heard but I never noticed because it just sounds so natural
We're gonna sing My Heart Will Go On by
Celine Dion from the movie Titanic, which I feel like a lot of the audience will not have seen. Titanic,
It's such an old movie. What do you mean "Come on"? I mean I guess yeah, it's sad. This was like a chart topper
I saw Celine Dion sing this live in Vegas. You really sound like a dad
*both talk like old dads*
KEYBOARD CONTROL. This is probably my favorite advanced function in auto-tune because it's so insanely powerful. You can sing
Whatever note you want and however
awfully and auto-tune will pull the notes to whatever note you're playing on the keyboard instead!
So I decided to sing just as bad as I
possibly could. Jazza got the job to play the keyboard and make sure that I actually hit the right notes. Enjoy this
masterful rendition of Let It Go.
That's gonna sound incredible in the video so good, wow.
Hey guys, thanks so much for watching this is Jazza. He's got an amazing Art Channel. Yeah, this was so fun. Yeah, this is awesome. We should do this again sometime.
Yeah, definitely. Let's do it again. I'm gonna do the video on Jazza's channel.
Jazza needs to go do things and I have nothing to do. Check out Australia.
I will check out Australia. Check out kangaroos. They'll look a lot different than you think they do.
hahaHA
Head over to the channel, it's really great, and I will see you guys next time. Bye!
