I've often read (and heard the results on tracks) that there is software that alters your voice so that all the bad notes are ironed out. I have an awful voice but would love to hear if this software could make me sound good.

Anybody know whether an amateur can use this software?

Thanks

Most of the current chart toppers use it, otherwise they wouldnt have hits

Antares Autotune is the one you want

Autotune is a godsend use it loads.

Does that mean you cant sing, or artists you record for ?

Avid produce a professional package that is used in studios. Spent some time with them a few years back and they gave me a demostration of what it could do - turned a tone deaf singer into a note perfect one! Very funny. Apparantly used by almost all bands and singers now. The really clever stuff they do does it in near real time for live performances....

Antares do Autotune in a 1U rackmount live version, have done for many years now

Another vote for Autotune - the rack is still a pricey item although it's been out for Donkey's!!

cheaper & easier to hire a good singer in my experience

That's the point - they all use it! All singers can have an off day or smoke one too many **** and screw up their voices

ScoobyDoo555

Too true

Goes to show though, that those who use it, usually need to use it.(unless you're into Cher-esq vocal production )

There's no accounting for talent

Cher didnt use Autotune though

ScoobyDoo555

OK. The producers must have got it wrong
here

The track "believe" could have used the Autotune plugin to create the "forced" pitch.......
There was a rumour that the Digitech was used, but this wasn't correct.

However, Cher's got a fantastic voice - certainly doesn't need autotune.
