You can definitely hear imperfections in his voice, but he's still amazing. Even if there is some sort of voice modification, he's still amazing. I personally would have liked to have been there when they recorded that. But I'll stop spamming @TheRocketAnse. Thanks so much for putting this video up man. Peace.
@spasmaticbarnicle I think it was because it's on AOL and AOL likes the performers to sound perfect. It's either prerecorded tracks they lip-sync to or they Autotune. It wasn't the bands choice. But i agree, there is no need for an autotuner with MCS
@BoredOutofOurMinds1 I agree with you that Justin's voice has gotten alot better over their career, he has an awesome voice. This has definitely got some pitch correction on it though, which is fine, it compliments his voice if anything, as it does when used on Artists that have great natural voices anyway. I like when its used tastefully.
@NZRand0m you would be correct sir. and although this is technically "live", it was recorded so it could be mixed. chances are they tuned the vocals in mixing. i've tuned enough vocal tracks to be able to pick it out haha, those harmonies lock in too damn well. love this band, but the fact is every major release more likely than not has tuned vocals. its only when its audible to the average ear that people whip out the claws and start judging haha
@KingOfOldTrafford one of the ways you can tell is the glide between notes. a human being has to stop singing and start again to change pitch perfectly, otherwise there is usually a subtle but noticeable glide as the voice moves between the notes, but when auto tuned, the glide is overdefined and sometimes completely deadened. so the voice "steps" up and down instead of sliding. listen to someone with heavy pitch correction (ala t-pain or jason derulo) you will hear what im talking about
@ApathyTree I wasn't either. Interesting story.....some friends and I saw them about two weeks ago and after the show one of my friends was talking to their bass player and he asked about that part with the kazoo sound.....and it ends up they got that sound by shouting into a broken acoustic electric guitar....so yeah....explains the lalalalala's. Peace and love.
Ok, once and for all, his voice is not auto tuned. No matter what you might think, it is very possible for the human voice to do that. It just takes practice and Justin has been in the music business for a while. His voice has gotten so much better since the beginning of their career. But it really doesn't matter. The song is amazing, and the "lalala"'s are hilarious, and just symbolize what MCS (Not MCT @angmarcos1) is. They can be dark, but they're light-hearted by nature. Anyway, MCS forever!
@BoredOutofOurMinds1 I'm sorry to say this, but it IS autotuned, but in subtile way. But yes, Justin's voice has gotten better! He'll always be my favorite lead singer.
See how there's two mics? The one on his right is for the autotune and the silver-headed one is the one that has no correction on it. They used autotune for the "lalalala"s
@deesteenson don't like to say this, but it's autotuned all the way.. And that's why it sounds so perfect. But Justin is still a freaking great leadsinger!
@GUITARandHOCKEY94 have u also thought that justin is that great of singer now when he does aucostic he sucks cause he strains all the time but when he sings with the band thats how he always sounds hes that good
@NZRand0m Yeah...no. There was no autotune there. His voice wavered. Having seen them many times live, they need no vocal correction. And while there are devices available to "autotune" live, the actual Autotune effect plug-in is a piece of software for use in the studio after a track is recorded, and would not be practical for live applications. The man can simply sing.
It's not autotune, it's pitch correction there is a whole lot of difference. And for the record on album EVERY professional singer uses pitch correction.
i really love this song, but not how AOL made then autotune, and you can really tell cuz his voice is naturally more rough, and if you've ever heard it without autotune, you know what i mean. but i really love the "LALALALALALALA" hehe.....
There is definitely something going on with the higher falsetto notes, as though the engineer at AOL thought he needed to take care of those bits, but the lower register things there's a ton of imperfect notes, strange. but this whole video audio track has this odd phasing effect on it so I'm not convinced one way or the other
This song is really hard for Justin to sing, it's also being played a few keys lower. It's still a shame they chose to use AT for this, I've seen MCS live and quite frankly Justin doesn't need autotune.
A whole lotta wrong in that comment. Autotune is one of many pitch correction tools out there. And every professional singer uses pitch correction? How on earth did you manage to be in studio for every single mixing session of every professional singer since the invention of pitch correction? That's the only way you could know that. But seriously, I'm sure most do, but to think they all do, is absurd. What would be the point of pitch correcting a vocalist with perfect pitch? They do exist.
