Lmao, watch this and say that th-cam.com/users/shortssHoZDodVELo?feature=share As much as I enjoy his music, the sad truth is the majority of artists today can't actually sing, but idm, the music's still good and you can't really tell there's autotune unless you see them live
@@he-dp3mk honestly so what? Even if they can’t sing well without auto tune, their creative ability still produces amazing songs for us to listen to for free
@@yuh-fv7ds no they definently do. not sure about the autotune during live (probably there is) %100 sure compressors etc going on. and if you look at insights of his vocal mixing sessions, they have A LOT OF things going on too. It's not a bad thing to have your vocals produced, and have your vocals enchanced by the technology. and during these insights, every one of his vocals was processed by autotune. :D he is a great artist, amazing tenor with tasty falsettos. but the thing is, there are people on the background that makes you think like "his vocals are great as natural, he don't even need post-processing" but in reality, during our era of pop music. it's impossible for someone that mainstream to go without autotune.
have you ever seen live concert behind composer side. they already have studio vocal presets to run thru his vocals live. so there live never sound bad due to those presets. he use same vocal presets on live so even he's vocal cracks on live when he hit higher notes you never heard it because of that
Anyone saying he isn’t a talented singer and can’t sing is frankly insane he uses effects for the purpose of the music in certain instances but it is for the artistry listen to his live at Sofi album and other live performances the way he performs live is commendable and shows how purely talented he is in every regard
The Weeknd is one of those rare cases like Kanye where he has the flashy a list celebrity corporate and commercial stuff down, but if you look into his work the artistry is 100 percent there. Sort of like how Nintendo is with video games.
As a producer everyone uses a bit of auto tune, what they mean by 100% auto tune is either retune speed (how fast it corrects you) and perfect pitch so if it lets you be off by a few cents or not. Almost Every major artist has a bit of auto tune added
I have recently been to his concert and not only he doesn't need autotune, he barely needs a microphone lmao. He also sang this song with a slightly different note and i fell in love with that version completely
So listen to the normal, and then the 100% Autotuned, and if you can’t really hear a difference it means the vocals were almost perfectly in-key (meaning some type of pitch correction or autotune was applied). If you do hear a big difference, then it means theres raw vocals and there actually wasn’t much autotune applied.
It’s not Autotune they use- it’s Melodyne. Melodyne allows you to manually edit notes on a grid as oppose to something like Autotune (which as the name would suggest) automatically shifts notes based on what it detects going into it. Melodyne tends to sound more natural (but it all honestly depends on how well both are being utilized in the style/context of a song).
i am a music producer and singer myself. The words “no autotune” is pretty much non existent in the music recording industry. All the artists, doesnt matter how good they sing, use some form of digital tuning to get the perfect vocals. The industry top producers always manually edit and tune the vocals using software like Melodine, while the others slap on autotune. You do not notice anything because tuning is always applied in subtle amount. Good examples of full autotune are literally all the hiphop songs that involve a rapper singing. That is what it sounds like when you use autotune in full strength; i.e a robot. This is why autotune in most of the songs are used to make the vocals perfectly fit into the instrumentals, fix minor pitch issues, and squeeze ever last drop of value from the artist’s performance :). ps. in case you are were still wondering, yes. yes the weeknd does use autotune in his songs.
Most artist that can sing just use auto tune for slight pitch correction , if they go offkey for a slight second that’s where the auto tune comes in clutch or again just for the vibe that the song gives off. Charlie puth does a good job explaining this in his song breakdowns.
He doesn’t use auto tune . I Think people need to look up what auto tune is. He does use other vocal affects he’s been doing it since his early music. That’s always been his thing.
*The problem with autotune is that if you use too much of it, the audio jitters* *For example listen to Blinding Lights with autotune* *It goes "Oooh I'm blinded by the l-i-i-ghts* *See, it jitters, it's hard to notice but there is a little bit of a jitter*
@@rahuld2844 yes it’s an effect that emulates space or echo. When you hear a sound that drags on for a long time because it sounds like it’s in a big room, that’s usually reverb
It’s similar to T-Pain, as a stylistic thing. It’s how he gets a sort of 80’s feel to certain parts of his songs, plus the synth. Homie loves his stylistic effects
Every artist uses pitch correction in studio recordings. It’s humanly impossible to sing perfectly in tune for every single millisecond of a song. It doesn’t mean these artists can’t sing. As an artist myself, I hate hearing my vocals even when they are only a couple cents off. So why not use pitch correction, especially when the tech is advanced enough to make it seem like there’s no pitch correcting happening?! Regardless, The Weeknd is one of the beat singers in the game right now. He doesn’t need/use them too often for live performances.
I’m a music producer, usually we like to stack our voices to give an extra feel with a bit of reverb cause we use dead rooms all the time so we don’t get natural reverb from the way production works
I see this concept how I see photography, I edit the photos I take to match my style and I make these good photos have a style to give it emotion and not to be just visually appealing. He uses auto tune as a tool to emotionally appeal not just to sound good, he has his own style and even his music videos just add to that and it always looks and sounds amazing and just gives certain vibes and always feels like it has a deeper meaning while still being able to enjoy the song as it is.
Lol tpain the weekend cher all people who have sung with autotune. Difference why there autotune sounds so crisp and crazy is they can actually SING so it’s an enhancer. I wish people understood that autotune is not just singing into a mic and makes your voice sound good 😂😂 you still have to be in the right key
I mean just because pitch correction is used doesn’t mean the vocalist can’t sing. It’s usually just to make it a little more polished, clean, or smooth. I know first hand that Abel can sing his ass off. It’s wayyyy more common that pitch correction is used than you think
Maybe you could do some videos explaining more on this? I see a lot of people nowadays arguing over “live” vocals, especially in the pop and Kpop communities, because there’s lip syncing, there’s pre-recording a live performance, there’s live performances with backtrack, theres live performances with pitch correction and stuff (?), there’s live live performances with raw vocals... there’s a lot I don’t know
I think he doesn’t really need the autotune but it definitely adds to the vibe of the song and his style
Lmao, watch this and say that

If anyone is doubting the weekend’s singing ability, look up some of his raw vocals, he is a very skilled singer and uses autotune as an affect.
bro for pitch correction too. he admitted himself
I heard him sing yesterday bc I went to his concert and idek ion think he uses auto tune at all.
Imo he holds the belt ATM in R&B
@@ChuckDElsden *pop
There’s nothing wrong using auto tune it’s more of an industry standard. Using auto tune takes skills to use where your required to sing close to key.
He just love using a fuck load of reverb
Sounds Great Tho 👍🌻
Sounds like a banger everytime tho
Por eso me encanta sus reverb son brutales
Pretty much and then when he uses autotune it's for the effect not for correction
Reverb on top‼️‼️
The weekend is one of the best voices in this era of music,I promise.

have you heard him live? hes a beast
with vocal presets

@@SggQpwpqpq-vq3ds Not with his warm up video on youtube, he really is just naturally insane with the vocals
@@SggQpwpqpq-vq3ds You can look up clips of him from when he was homeless. He doesn’t need the presets to kill.
Those notes he be hitting at his concerts
The autotune just makes him some more futuristic/robotic and it kinda adds a soft breathy tone I like it
Just so you know most of the pop artists use autotune and it's not because they can't sing it's just that it is a part of the process.
His live performances tell you that his voice only requires mild post-production for his albums, if any at all.
his live performances are enhanced by technology ofcourse. this doesnt mean he is bad tho.
@@tearr245 I don't think they use any voice-enhancing technology for his live shows

Blinding Lights with the auto tune goes hard tho. All 3 of them actually
I have come across some shorts from this guy. I don't think he knows much about music production or even in general.
Even if he does use auto tune, his songs are still fire 🔥
Take this from someone who just saw him perform in Dallas. He sounds exactly the same in person. There’s no debate lol
This album is great
Listen to faith live performance version he's the GOAT
There Only ONE GOAT....That's Michael Jackson & I believe this Is him Singing. He does use Synthesizer in some & alittle reverb in Autotune

The man doesn't need autotune he has talent !
THE CONCERTS THOUGH ‼️‼️‼️🔥🔥🔥

Have u seeeeen the dawn fm experience???!!!!!
People don’t understand that autotune is used as an effect and 99% of artists use some form of pitch correction to get their song radio ready

He does use autotune. His producer even broke down his vocal chain and he used pro evo autotune
I love whn a man works on himself, secure and strong inside🎉
It honestly almost sound the same he voice is amazing
Man voice was smooth that he broke the system 🔥🔥🔥
*The problem with autotune is that if you use too much of it, the audio jitters*
