Done more then you think. I have been singing whole life and piano among many instruments and I learned that I could sing and with practice a lot it’s definitely like any other part of the body and muscle memory and now at 46 I still can do what I did by then I don’t do anything professional are you outside of being paid at a bar in my 20s!

A.I. might eventually be able to, but we're a ways off from that. What makes pre-2004 singers so good, is the imperfections. It seems that the last vestiges of good music showing up in the top 100 ends around 2003.
@@manictiger That's pretty spot on. 2002 saw the emergence of people who sing like cats. Example, Sarah Blasko. Putting on that rounded tongue sound that sounds like a cat with a mouse in it's mouth. Billy Eilish is another example.
That was a treat. Pretty much how I imagined it's done but I had no idea how far off vocals could be and still be brought into a listenable state. Very skillful editing, thanks for the education.
Thats kind of true but if you notice it works good when there are a bunch of tracks together with harmonies but if you notice when he solos a track it sounds pretty unnatural. So you can get away with harmonies to some extent but with a single vocal it starts to sound pretty bad really quick. And I would argue even this kind of sounded like Micky Mouse.
@@jonbutcher9805 This is manual tuning, autotune does it automatically, thus it works live. Waves Real-time Tune also works like that, for example. Unless it's manual, it should work in real time
It's basically the same process, general editing and time-correction, then melodyne, then effects and MAYBE autotune. Although after pitch correction if the singing is good enough autotune might sound TOO fake. Same process, but you actually have to be very careful to NOT overdoit
Not realistic....typed and liked by people who do not listen to punk at all, to have this skewed viewpoint of "any punk band". Listen to Flipper if you want horribly out of tune punk instruments and vocals. Listen to the Meat Puppets II if you want slightly out of tune vocals sang to tight and in tune music. Great songs on that album. Any Nirvana fan knows that, or should. I like stuff like Dr. Know Plug In Jesus and Unity You Are One, where the vocals are in tune, or at least not dissonant to the music. But I think you do not listen to any punk, to make such a generalized and inaccurate joke against the music. This video sounds like he is copying whiny Emo/Screamo music to me, not punk. DK
Thankfully you've got awesome artists like me to cover all those other frequencies that the "pros" just can't handle 🎶🎵💥 (no thanks necessary, but feel free to say hi the next time you hear one of us helping keep 'Happy Birthday' real 👍)
It turns out that not all people have the unit installed to detect out of tune singing. I guess that's optional part of the brain. And some pop artists appear to be selected via beaty contents instead of because of their skills, so it makes sense some of them are missing the optional unit, too.
Too bad more people don't know that what they are listening to might be 99% effects and 1% bad singing! lol Great work; I hope you do more of these videos!
I agree, but I do think autotuning can be heard if you pay close attention. The better people sang it to begin with though.. the harder it should be to spot. Not sure if there's already AI-driven auto-tuning resulting in a vocal texture to match, but it's not impossible to get flawless using 'the computer'.
If it produces a good track, and something good to listen to then, I do not really care. If someone is trying to pass them self off as an awesome singer, it would be dishonest. But then again, unless they lip-sync their music on stage, it will become apparent when they sing lol.
@@natepoodle9132 Not necessarily. While Melodyne and (even more so) the rhythm correction cannot be done live, Autotune is a realtime-effect which is often used in live settings. All you have to be able to is sing close enough to the correct note that the software gets it.
I can't believe how good you are at singing bad. I genuinely mean that. When you have any ability to sing, it's incredibly hard to sing so wrong. Well done.
We did a recording session in a fully analogue recording studio last weekend, millions in very expensive equipment, recording with cans on in isolation booths, no overdubs, no autotune, whole band getting recorded on each take, someone makes a mistake, got to do another take, tapes cost over 500 bucks for 30 mins, for me it was how we used to do it back in the day, the younger members of the band less impressed!
It's no wonder that most pop stars lip sync "live" performances, the computer and engineers do all the heavy lifting. Much respect to you my friend, new sub etc.
well, they used to. now all of this can be done by good computers with good software during live concerts in the fraction of a second. you don't even know that what exits the speakers is not what entered the microphone.
@@mickzed6746 It didn't exist then because the technology wasn't there. It has nothing to do with talent. The first song which openly used pitch-changing that I can think of was in a song performed by Cher, who also performed in this era of perfect godlike talent, where no production was required nor asked for, presumably. The ability to enhance a song, or make it the very best it can be via various production methods is desirable, regardless of the talent performing the song. What, so the Beatles NEEDED that string track in Eleanor Rigby to mask their lack of instrument-playing ability? Of course not. Cher didn't need her voice pitch changed in the mid 90s, either.
@@thegreathadoken6808 it had everything to do with talent.... No talent... No singing career. That simple. Everything today enables talentless people to look like they have talent to people that have no clue what talent is. Simple minds relate with simple things....And yes, the tech did exist.... It's was called a recording studio.
Great job on this video! The editing is top-notch and the humor is just right. I couldn't stop laughing throughout the entire thing. You have a real talent for creating entertaining content. Keep up the fantastic work!
a very clear demonstration of WHAT exactly Auto Tune is capable of. You have really put it to the ultimate test and pushed it to demonstrate that it CAN handle any tuning job. Big ups bro for such a well-orchestrated demonstration 👌👌👌
That was A-MAZING! I always wondered whether anyone had a way to alter horrible singing like mine changed to perfection. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of each other thanks for putting this up!
The man right here made a curious experiment and stopped several times to give basics on DAW for free, anyone who's a begginer can have fun while they learn. I never commented on any of your covers but I've really enjoyed them for quite a while, gotta stop here to say you're awesome and I admire your producing, imitation and music skills
Here we can see, why all the stars from the 60s, 70s, and the 80s are real real good singers. Today we have so many real bad singers and after this cleaning they all sound brilliant.
Once I was given a paid job (even tho I don't usually do paid music stuff) because a guy was having a wedding in a month and he wanted to record himself singing a song for the first dance, I agreed because why not, he actually had surprisingly good timbre and wasn't pitch drifting too much, but he was basically always out of tune. We had a lot of takes and it took a fair amount of Melodyne, but the final effect was actually not that bad. You absolutely can do wonders with Melodyne
whats funny is this guy actually has some sort of accent that i cant quite put my finger on. Like dutch or something. Basically its obvious (to me, first language being english) that English was not this guys first language. Maybe its cause Americans use so many slang words and dont fully pronounce things, but it's pretty interesting that you find this easier to understand than the average American dialect. Personally I can't understand half the words scottish or aussie people say, even though it's all 'english'. edit: He's from Finland

I love the first part. Release a full song please! I'll use that in my car when I feel sleepy and I need something to drive to the nearest station to rest. Make it a whole album, you never know!
😂🤣 Your bad singing had me in stitches! You should release an album of greatest hits. I would play it whenever I needed cheering up. It would also be great on road trips too!
Is this your vocal at its worst? This is how my vocal sounds at its best. I write the tracks and started to "sing" to them recently. There is hope for me now. Thank you for your video.
This was awesome, thank you. I have heard and known about Auto-tune since 1998 when Cher put out that crazy song, "Believe", but thought it was used for adding in special effects to existing vocals, I had no idea it was designed to fix and correct bad singing. Wow. Thank you for showing us a glimpse of how all the different programs work and how they can fix different issues. Very cool. I feel a bit betrayed by recording artists now, it's kind of like Milli Vanilly all over again, LOL.
Love it, and that's exactly the reason i listen mostly to oldies music, back in the days when to be a singer you didn't need to show your ass in a music video to sell records, you needed talent! Sidenote, adele who's a REAL talent doesn't use autotune
For me it's the imperfections that are so appealing. Even the best old singers have small inconsistencies that create a whole different vibe other than this perfect pitch and artificial stuff all songs have nowadays due to corporate decisions...
adele uses pitch correction. mind you, that still doesn't take away from the fact that she is very talented. talent comes in different shapes than singing perfectly on-key.
I'm not a fan of "Auto tune" which is why I clicked this and I was pleasantly surprised. I feel like it sounded more natural with just Melodyne because you keep your natural frequencies but still like the whole video ❤
Honestly the best part to me is how all of that is reproducible with only free tools if you try hard enough, i had a good chuckle because i did some weird stuff myself with audio lol
I've been laughing so much at how painful the "OOOooohh" sounds. It feels like a blend of the pain to go through the singing, giving it all, how hard the work will be, the fun factor... I watched the intro for 5 days in a row now and still laugh every time!
Oh wow this is a great tutorial to learn to hear how autotuned stuff still sounds crappy after autotuning! Amazing. The flaws are all still there in the autotuned version and you taught us how to listen for it.
Great job... You shed light on a painful truth of the music industry... It just goes to show how many b.s "artists" can exist and thrive without ACTUAL ART or talent these days... All you need are good looks and a songwriting/production team making generic and formulated songs and you can be a star... Really sucks for people with actual talent and skill who will NEVER have a chance in being heard. The industry doesn't need talent... they manufacture it... Side note, everyone in Toto are world-class musicians, writers and vocalists... They were all ace session guys who made a band for kicks and ended up with great success... Those guys were the backing band on amazing hits like Michael Jackson's "Thriller", Lionel Richie's "Running with the night" ("Can't slow down" album). As individuals, Toto's band members can be heard on over 5000 albums that together amass a sales history of a HALF A BILLION albums...
You’re too pessimistic. First, just singing the right notes does not make you a great singer. If your voice doesn’t sound great, all the correctness in the world won’t make you a star. If it’s not special enough to be recognized, you will be quickly forgotten. Second, without a great song even the best voice in the world won’t make you a star. (And I’m not talking about meme songs like Gangnam Style which defy standards here.)
@@magicmulder Forgive my pessimism. I spent 25 years getting screwed over by the industry, spending thousands of dollars to get jerked around by producers. We had guys charge us $1,000 per song, and after recording held our music hostage saying "It'll be $1,000 more per song to actually mix them and give them to you". We had a producer convince us to come to Detroit and record us for free, with the thought he could shop us around, but he lost interest and just never gave us anything... There are exceptions to my comment... it's not ALL MUSIC... People like Lady Gaga, John Mayer, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Chris Stapleton etc are talented players and vocalists in their own right. The industry isn't totally devoid of talent, but in most cases talent isn't the first priority... Look at Brittney Spears, Taylor Swift, or even Garth Brooks and Kenney Chesney. They are mediocre vocalists, have all their songs written for them, and can barely play cowboy chords... yet they are astronomically sucessful... Their success far outweighs their talent... Especially compared to people out there like Tyler Childers, Marcus King, Philip Sayce, Colter Wall, etc.... The days of another Queen, or Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, etc are long gone... Artists are "developed" not "discoverd"
@@ChrsGuit I understand your bitterness. There have been many examples way before computer technology where looks and image have taken priority over vocals. I think it mostly began in the 1970s as a market reaction to the success of musician the 1960s. That's when it became a very profitable commodity and success over talent became possible. There have been many "artists" who had session singers singing for them instead. In 1989/90 Milli Vanilli famously got exposed and also the male singer in Boney M in the late 1970s (same producer) was discovered not to have sung at all.
No NOT kudos to them, they're an essential part of music being so fuckin terrible these days. Without them, only actually talented and deserving artists could record palatable performances. No frauds.
Hey bud. I've been grinding through TH-cam videos for over a year, learning sound engineering and this was the single, undeniable best experience yet. For good singers, this video is invaluable. Subscribed and bell rung. Can't wait to check out all your videos. Thanks again 🙏
Just fascinating! Glad I was born in 1958 and in the seventies people could sing. And far more complex melodies as well. No technology just beautiful voices, on pitch etc. Thank you, repeating myself, but quite fascinating!
@@horizonkyun7203 I don't know who that is, but, of course, there are singers nowadays who can sing properly. It's just that they don't always need to be able to sing to make it.
The thing is, if you sing decently well, the producer can make it sound really good. So there is much less incentive for singers to really sit down and practice their part until they nail it 100% in the studio. Some singers are still amazing today, but I really like when people make a conscious choice to keep their vocal mostly unedited. Imperfection is something to practice minimizing but it can also add character. Character can very easily become strange when correction is applied
Ok this was really entertaining! I hate that so many people do this for real & try to pretend they’re really singers but I definitely get what you’re doing. Warmth of the big chorus with the real singers is definitely different. Nobody can take that away but this is fun and funny! Awesome job! 🤘😁
@Steve Houghton On the one hand it's pretty remarkable how much he was able to improve the his singing. However, I still clearly prefer the sound of the original. So yeah, at least from this example, software can make almost anything sound good. But you still need a bit of talent to sound great.
@@Zero_Ego He does pull the thing back in pitch, but there are a TON of artifacts left over from the software, which is the limitation. The average person listening casually may not hear them but if you listen for them they are pretty clear.
@@Zero_Ego no...the quality of the vocal is seriously lacking after the pitch correction, sounds very robotic and wrong in a way. A truly awful singer will still not sound stellar after pitch correction. Pitch correction is great and almost not noticable when using it for relatively small corrections but doesn't do well when the pitch is off by too much.
If you put on headphones and listen carefully, there’s obvious signs of extreme pitch correction. There are weird artifacts left over from the pitch correction. Can’t tell if you don’t pay attention but any experienced audio engineer can hear it.
Wow I love how you explain how and why you’re doing everything in the editing software. I’ve tried editing music before and found it hard, this answers a bunch of my questions!
Brilliant video dude, sums up why the music industry is going down the toilet. However as a musician that simply cannot sing, I now realise I can still do some vocals in my demos, for a decent vocalist to listen to and replace.
This is both hilarious and informative! I didn't know how much flexibility these things offer, but apparently the potential is almost limitless! Now the big question; is this a replacement to years of vocal training and shaping your natural instrument to sound nice over thousands of hours of training? I don't think so at all, and it's sad to see that that almost everything on radio today is over-processed. I see how useful this could be to a good vocalist having a bad time with a tight deadline, but I also see how it can be totally abused to "fake talent"! I can totally see the day in the very near future where you feed the original tune with the right keys to an AI software and give it a shit vocal track then ask it to auto-tune the entire thing and fix any timing discrepancies. Real vocalists who can stand behind on a stage and sing properly will become a rare commodity🤷♂
Bruce Dickinson: “you can learn an awful lot from babies. I mean, the racket that comes out of that tiny little thing. And it goes on forever - they don’t lose their voice, do they, ever? Babies have got no fear of just letting rip with all their diaphragm and everything. And they’ve got these tiny little lungs. My God, they make an amazing noise. So you think about that, and you think when people say, “Oh, I cant sing.” Oh, yes you can - you’ve just forgotten how to do it.”
You made that sound amazing. You could seriously make a business out of your skills. What I'd give to have one of my karaoke songs autotuned like that. That's seriously impressive
If this was intended to be an example of how being a musician/singer in the modern age requires absolutely zero musical talent, then very good. Mission accomplished. I think that says it all. :)
Just finding out about cross fade to side step the POP at an audio cut was worth it. All this time and I was meticulously trying to cut at zero crossing and not always with success. Thank you so much for that tip! The rest of the video was super fun.
FYI on crossfades, you might want to use logarithmic fades instead of linear. At the point where both sections are playing (middle of crossfade), you will have 6dB of attentuation with linear, and only 3dB with logarithmic, meaning that sudden drop in volume during a crossfade is much less perceptible.
The tragedy is how many "singers" depend on this software and still manage to have careers based on their images, whilst many brilliant singers never breakthrough because they don't fit the commercial package.
@@aguy446No its mainly about selling stuff to people, and influencing people comes second. And if we like it or not, most people like easy to digest text and texture. It sells best. And while i dont like the overwhelming majority of it, i still dont think there is anything wrong with that. Pop music isn't the most successful genre because the lables want it to (they are just taking advantage) but because people buy/ stream a shitton of it. Hate the game, not the player.
How hard you all are splitting hairs to be right. To dipsh*t 1, you have to influence people to sell stuff. To dipsh*t 2, songwriting is a talent. The fact I have to explain all this is amazing.
There's more to a vocal performance than correct pitch. There's the timbre of your natural voice. There's phrasing of the lyrics. There is emotion. There is subtext. Even though your final corrected vocal is sort of in tune, it sounds like you're yelling, and the performance is emotionally dead.
Don’t be depressed though cuz no one is ever happy cheating with his/her own self meaning if someone puts out amazing song using autotune and gets lotta appreciation, s/he will not be happy cuz s/he know s/he cheated
Im o nthe same note, I actually want to hear human voice even if it sounds little off. So tired of this electronic effects. If its some trance music ok it almost requires.
@@RavisMusicThat's totally not true what are you saying. Look at Travis Scott for example, he is all autotune but his music is still very complex and good and he makes millions. Do you really think he is not proud of himself?
@@yunobog7525 I think in his mind he is not happy. You can’t cheat with yourself. Well, some people in this world show that they are happy even after cheating with themselves - they like flattering even though they know that under the hood, it’s not authentic. But I doubt that’s true happiness
@@RavisMusic I don't want to be mean but music (and it's genres) has changed a lot. Travis Scott his production skills and idea's are so incredible that he can make his voice work, his flow on the beat is really good and he is one of the first ever to make 'psychedelic' hiphop a thing. You should just accept the fact that autotune / production skills are now part of it and should (imo) be seen as a different branche or genre than people with real voice control. I also prefer it if artists are able to recreate it if they would be in the same room with me with only their voice (Michael Jackson one of the best examples (imo again haha)). But that doesn't take anything away from the skills Travis for example has.
Ah, cross fades are what I noticed listening to many songs. It makes them sound like they aren't breathing. If you listen closely, sometimes you don't even have to listen closely, you can hear un-auto-tuned musicians breathing, and things like the popping of the saliva in their mouths. You know, things that make them human.
Hey Armando! I duplicated the existing vocal track and added Melodyne on that one to adjusted the notes until they sound like a harmony. So basically one track with Melodyne that has the main melody and another track with Melodyne that has the harmony melody.
As a song writer with a bad singing for me it is magic, so I can make listenable demos so I can send to vocalists in my band. everyday I appreciate singers more and more ❤❤❤

Where autotune shines is when it's subtle - taking a decent singer and making them sound great. Then you need a really good ear to hear it.
That was a treat. Pretty much how I imagined it's done but I had no idea how far off vocals could be and still be brought into a listenable state. Very skillful editing, thanks for the education.
Thats kind of true but if you notice it works good when there are a bunch of tracks together with harmonies but if you notice when he solos a track it sounds pretty unnatural.

@@jonbutcher9805 This is manual tuning, autotune does it automatically, thus it works live. Waves Real-time Tune also works like that, for example. Unless it's manual, it should work in real time
@@lucayaki awesome, thanks
@@jonbutcher9805 You're welcome :)
It would be interesting to see a comparison when you start with good vocals, just to see how big the difference is in the end result
It's basically the same process, general editing and time-correction, then melodyne, then effects and MAYBE autotune. Although after pitch correction if the singing is good enough autotune might sound TOO fake. Same process, but you actually have to be very careful to NOT overdoit
That "Oh...!" at 1:54 after singing terribly was like relief and revulsion at the same time! Subscribed!
I agree with you!
Dude, any punk band would appreciate your non-auto tune voice of this video 😂
Reminded me of Meat Puppets II
Sounds like morty from rick and morty
Not realistic....typed and liked by people who do not listen to punk at all, to have this skewed viewpoint of "any punk band". Listen to Flipper if you want horribly out of tune punk instruments and vocals. Listen to the Meat Puppets II if you want slightly out of tune vocals sang to tight and in tune music. Great songs on that album. Any Nirvana fan knows that, or should.
I like stuff like Dr. Know Plug In Jesus and Unity You Are One, where the vocals are in tune, or at least not dissonant to the music. But I think you do not listen to any punk, to make such a generalized and inaccurate joke against the music. This video sounds like he is copying whiny Emo/Screamo music to me, not punk. DK
@@hyperluminalreality1 if "and i took that personally" was a person lol. Great list tho.
lol
Your ability to both sing terribly and fix terrible singing are equally impressive.
nothing was fixed tho, it just went from extremely bad, to really bad
@@jipvandelaar7647 that's still quite a lot of improvement. Ever hear Fergi sing without auto tune?
I can easily sing it much worse 😂
He didn't really fixed it fully, sure it was better than without the auto tune but the singing was still off key.
@@jipvandelaar7647you are deaf
The various harmonies in the Toto version are phenomenal. Great layering of tracks
This desecration of a classic really hurts haha. Loved the way it turned out
Haha thanks! Kind of an interesting dissection
Thanks for doing this video. It shows that someone can still sound horrible with AutoTune fixing.
Well if one is a terrible singer, nothing will save him/her 😂
As a singer it can really be harder to sing out of tune. Everything in your brain says "no"
Yeah, your voice automatically slides in tune, haha. I know what you mean.
Oh, and if you watch someone dance out of sync/time while playing, they can sway your own sync to the drummer
I've heard singers who don't have this part of their brain, or is it my ears!.
Thankfully you've got awesome artists like me to cover all those other frequencies that the "pros" just can't handle 🎶🎵💥 (no thanks necessary, but feel free to say hi the next time you hear one of us helping keep 'Happy Birthday' real 👍)
It turns out that not all people have the unit installed to detect out of tune singing. I guess that's optional part of the brain. And some pop artists appear to be selected via beaty contents instead of because of their skills, so it makes sense some of them are missing the optional unit, too.
Too bad more people don't know that what they are listening to might be 99% effects and 1% bad singing! lol Great work; I hope you do more of these videos!
Yeah, that's right. You never really know with these kinds of tricks. Thanks, more of this definitely coming!
I agree, but I do think autotuning can be heard if you pay close attention. The better people sang it to begin with though.. the harder it should be to spot. Not sure if there's already AI-driven auto-tuning resulting in a vocal texture to match, but it's not impossible to get flawless using 'the computer'.
If it produces a good track, and something good to listen to then, I do not really care. If someone is trying to pass them self off as an awesome singer, it would be dishonest. But then again, unless they lip-sync their music on stage, it will become apparent when they sing lol.
@@natepoodle9132 Not necessarily. While Melodyne and (even more so) the rhythm correction cannot be done live, Autotune is a realtime-effect which is often used in live settings. All you have to be able to is sing close enough to the correct note that the software gets it.
Bad performances still sound like bad performances with pitch correction.
I can't believe how good you are at singing bad. I genuinely mean that. When you have any ability to sing, it's incredibly hard to sing so wrong. Well done.
It always amazes me how powerful a pitch editor is. Nice job !
We did a recording session in a fully analogue recording studio last weekend, millions in very expensive equipment, recording with cans on in isolation booths, no overdubs, no autotune, whole band getting recorded on each take, someone makes a mistake, got to do another take, tapes cost over 500 bucks for 30 mins, for me it was how we used to do it back in the day, the younger members of the band less impressed!
Sure, grandpa
Frivolous.
It's no wonder that most pop stars lip sync "live" performances, the computer and engineers do all the heavy lifting. Much respect to you my friend, new sub etc.
well, they used to. now all of this can be done by good computers with good software during live concerts in the fraction of a second. you don't even know that what exits the speakers is not what entered the microphone.
@@moos5221 Exactly, you're hearing Autotune not their actual voice.
Behind the scenes to about 90% of today’s radio hits
Were the same technology available in bygone eras of music, it would have been used to the same degree.
@@thegreathadoken6808 it didn't exist back then because people with talent existed.
Now it is looks first, talent last
@@mickzed6746 It didn't exist then because the technology wasn't there. It has nothing to do with talent. The first song which openly used pitch-changing that I can think of was in a song performed by Cher, who also performed in this era of perfect godlike talent, where no production was required nor asked for, presumably.
The ability to enhance a song, or make it the very best it can be via various production methods is desirable, regardless of the talent performing the song.
What, so the Beatles NEEDED that string track in Eleanor Rigby to mask their lack of instrument-playing ability? Of course not. Cher didn't need her voice pitch changed in the mid 90s, either.
@@thegreathadoken6808 it had everything to do with talent.... No talent... No singing career. That simple. Everything today enables talentless people to look like they have talent to people that have no clue what talent is. Simple minds relate with simple things....And yes, the tech did exist.... It's was called a recording studio.
Great job on this video! The editing is top-notch and the humor is just right. I couldn't stop laughing throughout the entire thing. You have a real talent for creating entertaining content. Keep up the fantastic work!
a very clear demonstration of WHAT exactly Auto Tune is capable of. You have really put it to the ultimate test and pushed it to demonstrate that it CAN handle any tuning job. Big ups bro for such a well-orchestrated demonstration 👌👌👌
This was really well done! It manages to sound fairly natural most of the time despite being _very_ heavily edited.
That was A-MAZING! I always wondered whether anyone had a way to alter horrible singing like mine changed to perfection.
I think we'll be seeing a lot more of each other thanks for putting this up!
The man right here made a curious experiment and stopped several times to give basics on DAW for free, anyone who's a begginer can have fun while they learn.
I never commented on any of your covers but I've really enjoyed them for quite a while, gotta stop here to say you're awesome and I admire your producing, imitation and music skills
That first clean take was a beast, but that harmony sent those raw vocals into the stratosphere!!!!!!!!
Here we can see, why all the stars from the 60s, 70s, and the 80s are real real good singers. Today we have so many real bad singers and after this cleaning they all sound brilliant.
you can also fix the tightness with melodyne (if you open the side menu and reduce "drift" and "modulation")
Once I was given a paid job (even tho I don't usually do paid music stuff) because a guy was having a wedding in a month and he wanted to record himself singing a song for the first dance, I agreed because why not, he actually had surprisingly good timbre and wasn't pitch drifting too much, but he was basically always out of tune. We had a lot of takes and it took a fair amount of Melodyne, but the final effect was actually not that bad. You absolutely can do wonders with Melodyne
I'm asian and this is my first time to hear a guy speak english so clearly, very clear! I can even understand without using subtitles
whats funny is this guy actually has some sort of accent that i cant quite put my finger on. Like dutch or something. Basically its obvious (to me, first language being english) that English was not this guys first language. Maybe its cause Americans use so many slang words and dont fully pronounce things, but it's pretty interesting that you find this easier to understand than the average American dialect. Personally I can't understand half the words scottish or aussie people say, even though it's all 'english'.

I love the first part. Release a full song please! I'll use that in my car when I feel sleepy and I need something to drive to the nearest station to rest. Make it a whole album, you never know!
😂🤣 Your bad singing had me in stitches! You should release an album of greatest hits. I would play it whenever I needed cheering up. It would also be great on road trips too!
Just don't play it in public 😂
It would be called the greate-shits by Moonic.
Made me think. You get lots of albums containing an "accoustic" version of a track. What about an album with an un-auto-tuned version?
You can use this bad track to quickly force a confession in court.
The “Oooooh!” is priceless 😎👍 You got a new sub! Thanks for the inspiration, brother 🙏 Love and light from sunny Khao Lak in Thailand 🇹🇭 ❤️☀️🌴🥥🎶
Is this your vocal at its worst? This is how my vocal sounds at its best. I write the tracks and started to "sing" to them recently. There is hope for me now. Thank you for your video.
This was awesome, thank you. I have heard and known about Auto-tune since 1998 when Cher put out that crazy song, "Believe", but thought it was used for adding in special effects to existing vocals, I had no idea it was designed to fix and correct bad singing. Wow. Thank you for showing us a glimpse of how all the different programs work and how they can fix different issues. Very cool. I feel a bit betrayed by recording artists now, it's kind of like Milli Vanilly all over again, LOL.
Guy you know it's true!
Love it, and that's exactly the reason i listen mostly to oldies music, back in the days when to be a singer you didn't need to show your ass in a music video to sell records, you needed talent! Sidenote, adele who's a REAL talent doesn't use autotune
For me it's the imperfections that are so appealing. Even the best old singers have small inconsistencies that create a whole different vibe other than this perfect pitch and artificial stuff all songs have nowadays due to corporate decisions...
adele uses pitch correction. mind you, that still doesn't take away from the fact that she is very talented. talent comes in different shapes than singing perfectly on-key.
@@dec5847 if a singer can consistently sing in key, there’s simply no need for pitch correction.
I'm not a fan of "Auto tune" which is why I clicked this and I was pleasantly surprised. I feel like it sounded more natural with just Melodyne because you keep your natural frequencies but still like the whole video ❤
I’m crying over here! Sometimes horrible performances are more fun to listen to than great ones. Thanks for a good laugh!
Honestly the best part to me is how all of that is reproducible with only free tools if you try hard enough, i had a good chuckle because i did some weird stuff myself with audio lol
Have you heard the “worst rendition ever” version of “O Holy Night”? I can’t ever get through that one without laughing out loud.
Your "badly as I possibly can" is still 10 times better than my best attempt !
I've been laughing so much at how painful the "OOOooohh" sounds. It feels like a blend of the pain to go through the singing, giving it all, how hard the work will be, the fun factor... I watched the intro for 5 days in a row now and still laugh every time!
Lol, yeah, that's my favourite part as well - it's just got so much "I'm so DONE with this right now!" energy.
Io ti guardo dalla Sicilia e ti stimo tantissimo per quello che fai essendo anche io un appassionato di musica. Continua così sei un grande
Thanks so much!
Seriously, there are few things I hate more than autotune! (commercials, lies, and HR lingo comes on top)
Thanks for a great and informative video!
Oh wow this is a great tutorial to learn to hear how autotuned stuff still sounds crappy after autotuning! Amazing. The flaws are all still there in the autotuned version and you taught us how to listen for it.
Great job... You shed light on a painful truth of the music industry... It just goes to show how many b.s "artists" can exist and thrive without ACTUAL ART or talent these days... All you need are good looks and a songwriting/production team making generic and formulated songs and you can be a star... Really sucks for people with actual talent and skill who will NEVER have a chance in being heard.
The industry doesn't need talent... they manufacture it...
Side note, everyone in Toto are world-class musicians, writers and vocalists... They were all ace session guys who made a band for kicks and ended up with great success...
Those guys were the backing band on amazing hits like Michael Jackson's "Thriller", Lionel Richie's "Running with the night" ("Can't slow down" album). As individuals, Toto's band members can be heard on over 5000 albums that together amass a sales history of a HALF A BILLION albums...
You’re too pessimistic. First, just singing the right notes does not make you a great singer. If your voice doesn’t sound great, all the correctness in the world won’t make you a star. If it’s not special enough to be recognized, you will be quickly forgotten.
Second, without a great song even the best voice in the world won’t make you a star. (And I’m not talking about meme songs like Gangnam Style which defy standards here.)
@@magicmulder Forgive my pessimism. I spent 25 years getting screwed over by the industry, spending thousands of dollars to get jerked around by producers. We had guys charge us $1,000 per song, and after recording held our music hostage saying "It'll be $1,000 more per song to actually mix them and give them to you". We had a producer convince us to come to Detroit and record us for free, with the thought he could shop us around, but he lost interest and just never gave us anything... There are exceptions to my comment... it's not ALL MUSIC... People like Lady Gaga, John Mayer, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Chris Stapleton etc are talented players and vocalists in their own right. The industry isn't totally devoid of talent, but in most cases talent isn't the first priority... Look at Brittney Spears, Taylor Swift, or even Garth Brooks and Kenney Chesney. They are mediocre vocalists, have all their songs written for them, and can barely play cowboy chords... yet they are astronomically sucessful... Their success far outweighs their talent... Especially compared to people out there like Tyler Childers, Marcus King, Philip Sayce, Colter Wall, etc.... The days of another Queen, or Led Zeppelin, Michael Jackson, Fleetwood Mac, etc are long gone... Artists are "developed" not "discoverd"
This shit started happening 25 years ago small scale but now it’s used all the time
@@magicmulder You're to naive.
@@ChrsGuit I understand your bitterness. There have been many examples way before computer technology where looks and image have taken priority over vocals. I think it mostly began in the 1970s as a market reaction to the success of musician the 1960s. That's when it became a very profitable commodity and success over talent became possible. There have been many "artists" who had session singers singing for them instead. In 1989/90 Milli Vanilli famously got exposed and also the male singer in Boney M in the late 1970s (same producer) was discovered not to have sung at all.
Kudos to the sound engineers like you who did all of this behind and been suffering of bad singing until it is completely improved 👏🏼😂
No NOT kudos to them, they're an essential part of music being so fuckin terrible these days.
Without them, only actually talented and deserving artists could record palatable performances. No frauds.
Hey bud. I've been grinding through TH-cam videos for over a year, learning sound engineering and this was the single, undeniable best experience yet. For good singers, this video is invaluable. Subscribed and bell rung. Can't wait to check out all your videos. Thanks again 🙏
Just fascinating! Glad I was born in 1958 and in the seventies people could sing. And far more complex melodies as well. No technology just beautiful voices, on pitch etc.
Thank you, repeating myself, but quite fascinating!
nah chloe x halle can out-sing half of the 70s stars
@@horizonkyun7203 I don't know who that is, but, of course, there are singers nowadays who can sing properly. It's just that they don't always need to be able to sing to make it.
The thing is, if you sing decently well, the producer can make it sound really good.
So there is much less incentive for singers to really sit down and practice their part until they nail it 100% in the studio.
Some singers are still amazing today, but I really like when people make a conscious choice to keep their vocal mostly unedited.
Imperfection is something to practice minimizing but it can also add character. Character can very easily become strange when correction is applied
And here I was thinking you'd only mess up the pitch 😅 Time correcting is such a chore. You really made it a lot harder on yourself with that 😂
Dude, great vid. I just loved and appreciated the self-deprecating humor all while crushing it in showing us how to correct the vocal. Many thanks!!
Ok this was really entertaining!
I hate that so many people do this for real & try to pretend they’re really singers but I definitely get what you’re doing. Warmth of the big chorus with the real singers is definitely different. Nobody can take that away but this is fun and funny!
Awesome job! 🤘😁
There's no band-aid for bad singing. :P Your videos are great in showing the limitations of pitch correction, and needless to mention, funny!
@@Zero_Ego Copium much?
@Steve Houghton On the one hand it's pretty remarkable how much he was able to improve the his singing. However, I still clearly prefer the sound of the original. So yeah, at least from this example, software can make almost anything sound good. But you still need a bit of talent to sound great.
@@Zero_Ego He does pull the thing back in pitch, but there are a TON of artifacts left over from the software, which is the limitation. The average person listening casually may not hear them but if you listen for them they are pretty clear.
@@Zero_Ego no...the quality of the vocal is seriously lacking after the pitch correction, sounds very robotic and wrong in a way. A truly awful singer will still not sound stellar after pitch correction. Pitch correction is great and almost not noticable when using it for relatively small corrections but doesn't do well when the pitch is off by too much.
If you put on headphones and listen carefully, there’s obvious signs of extreme pitch correction. There are weird artifacts left over from the pitch correction. Can’t tell if you don’t pay attention but any experienced audio engineer can hear it.
"My neighbors love me" You're killing me, dude! Awesome vid!
Dude, you're so phenomenally good at this process, makes me wonder what you raw material is like for your other songs. :D :D :D
Wow I love how you explain how and why you’re doing everything in the editing software. I’ve tried editing music before and found it hard, this answers a bunch of my questions!
Brilliant video dude, sums up why the music industry is going down the toilet. However as a musician that simply cannot sing, I now realise I can still do some vocals in my demos, for a decent vocalist to listen to and replace.
Well done. Both impressive and horrifying at the same time, as well as being informative and entertaining. 😎
The automation and digitisation of human expression for profit is truly ghoulish.
Subbed, thank you.
I didn't think you could sing badly. Great video!thier is hope for me yet!
I like the version before the fix because it represents how most of us sound. Hahahaha! great job bro!
I have to say that you gave me goosebumps. It came in waves by starting small and growing to almost a crescendo. Very impressive.
That right there is the future of music, my friends. Will the last person that can sing please turn out the light. 🎙
This is both hilarious and informative! I didn't know how much flexibility these things offer, but apparently the potential is almost limitless! Now the big question; is this a replacement to years of vocal training and shaping your natural instrument to sound nice over thousands of hours of training? I don't think so at all, and it's sad to see that that almost everything on radio today is over-processed. I see how useful this could be to a good vocalist having a bad time with a tight deadline, but I also see how it can be totally abused to "fake talent"! I can totally see the day in the very near future where you feed the original tune with the right keys to an AI software and give it a shit vocal track then ask it to auto-tune the entire thing and fix any timing discrepancies. Real vocalists who can stand behind on a stage and sing properly will become a rare commodity🤷♂
You don't need to justify, this track is unanimous liked ! Thanks for demo of the software , you look very competent !
Today anyone can be a singer. You don't need talent anymore...
That's why i love older music
Don't get me wrong, it's a amazing video!
Who said that not anyone can sing? Of course anyone can sing. You just need this guy and boom! You're singing perfectly. LOL
Bruce Dickinson: “you can learn an awful lot from babies. I mean, the racket that comes out of that tiny little thing. And it goes on forever - they don’t lose their voice, do they, ever? Babies have got no fear of just letting rip with all their diaphragm and everything. And they’ve got these tiny little lungs. My God, they make an amazing noise. So you think about that, and you think when people say, “Oh, I cant sing.” Oh, yes you can - you’ve just forgotten how to do it.”
You made that sound amazing. You could seriously make a business out of your skills. What I'd give to have one of my karaoke songs autotuned like that. That's seriously impressive
Omg, it sounds like Morty singing Africa 🤣🤣🤣🤣
You’re right! It does! 🤣🤣🤣
6:32 - the "galaaaa" almost made me laugh loudly with people sleeping at home, holy damn 🤣
Lmao! Yeah, I cracked up at that part.
putting the conclusion of the video at its very beginning is a good is a good idea, I saved 10 minutes of my life
The "bad" take sounded like it had a bit of Christopher Walken in it and I loved it, this was hilarious
If this was intended to be an example of how being a musician/singer in the modern age requires absolutely zero musical talent, then very good. Mission accomplished. I think that says it all. :)
Madonna is an example of this and she is around since forever. She can't sing for shit. Talk about "modern age".
Just finding out about cross fade to side step the POP at an audio cut was worth it. All this time and I was meticulously trying to cut at zero crossing and not always with success. Thank you so much for that tip! The rest of the video was super fun.
How most singers today sound without autotune 😮
you still sound better untuned than some in the charts :-)
FYI on crossfades, you might want to use logarithmic fades instead of linear. At the point where both sections are playing (middle of crossfade), you will have 6dB of attentuation with linear, and only 3dB with logarithmic, meaning that sudden drop in volume during a crossfade is much less perceptible.
The tragedy is how many "singers" depend on this software and still manage to have careers based on their images, whilst many brilliant singers never breakthrough because they don't fit the commercial package.
Is it because mediocre plastic surgeons cost more than great sound engineers?
Because it's not about art and talent. It's about influencing people.
@@aguy446No its mainly about selling stuff to people, and influencing people comes second. And if we like it or not, most people like easy to digest text and texture. It sells best. And while i dont like the overwhelming majority of it, i still dont think there is anything wrong with that.
Pop music isn't the most successful genre because the lables want it to (they are just taking advantage) but because people buy/ stream a shitton of it.
Hate the game, not the player.
@@aguy446Songwriting skill is better than talent dude.
How hard you all are splitting hairs to be right. To dipsh*t 1, you have to influence people to sell stuff. To dipsh*t 2, songwriting is a talent. The fact I have to explain all this is amazing.
There's more to a vocal performance than correct pitch. There's the timbre of your natural voice. There's phrasing of the lyrics. There is emotion. There is subtext. Even though your final corrected vocal is sort of in tune, it sounds like you're yelling, and the performance is emotionally dead.
Very instructive and somewhat scaring!
Now I understand how Bobby Kimball sang the original vocals.
I had no idea it was possible to edit audio to this degree. This makes me both extremely impressed and depressed about the modern state of music.
Don’t be depressed though cuz no one is ever happy cheating with his/her own self meaning if someone puts out amazing song using autotune and gets lotta appreciation, s/he will not be happy cuz s/he know s/he cheated
Im o nthe same note, I actually want to hear human voice even if it sounds little off. So tired of this electronic effects. If its some trance music ok it almost requires.
@@RavisMusicThat's totally not true what are you saying. Look at Travis Scott for example, he is all autotune but his music is still very complex and good and he makes millions. Do you really think he is not proud of himself?
@@yunobog7525 I think in his mind he is not happy. You can’t cheat with yourself. Well, some people in this world show that they are happy even after cheating with themselves - they like flattering even though they know that under the hood, it’s not authentic. But I doubt that’s true happiness
@@RavisMusic I don't want to be mean but music (and it's genres) has changed a lot. Travis Scott his production skills and idea's are so incredible that he can make his voice work, his flow on the beat is really good and he is one of the first ever to make 'psychedelic' hiphop a thing. You should just accept the fact that autotune / production skills are now part of it and should (imo) be seen as a different branche or genre than people with real voice control. I also prefer it if artists are able to recreate it if they would be in the same room with me with only their voice (Michael Jackson one of the best examples (imo again haha)). But that doesn't take anything away from the skills Travis for example has.
Ah, cross fades are what I noticed listening to many songs. It makes them sound like they aren't breathing. If you listen closely, sometimes you don't even have to listen closely, you can hear un-auto-tuned musicians breathing, and things like the popping of the saliva in their mouths. You know, things that make them human.
Wow! That was seriously impressive, man!
man, that was sick ahhaha
Thanks so much!
How do you create your harmonies? I’m not understanding that part :(
Hey Armando! I duplicated the existing vocal track and added Melodyne on that one to adjusted the notes until they sound like a harmony. So basically one track with Melodyne that has the main melody and another track with Melodyne that has the harmony melody.
Hahahhaah love the final play when at the end you look sideways at the computer for the last "oooohhh" note hahhahahaha great video
As a song writer with a bad singing for me it is magic, so I can make listenable demos so I can send to vocalists in my band. everyday I appreciate singers more and more ❤❤❤
This!! I havent used auto tune yet but this makes me want to try, im always waiting for singers, i could knock out an album a month if i could sing 😅
@@theoisme I also installed RVC on my laptop so I can change my voice to some else so I can hide myself better. But in my experience you should at least hit the notes right to a certain point.
