Line 1: {{trope}} {{Examples Need Sorting}} [[File:Auto Tune box 3792.jpg\|frame]] Line 50 ⟶ 51: * [[Hot Chip]] uses this occasionally, although they mostly avoid it. * Kandystand's "Black Pearl" and "Disco Queen" blatantly feature Autotune. * Just about all Nu Italo does this. E.g.: Eiffel 65 - "Blue"; Kim Lukas - "All I Really Want"; Sarina Paris - "Just About Enough". It's a defining feature (and, depending on [https://web.archive.org/web/20120218200646/http://techno.org/electronic-music-guide/ who you ask], not necessarily bad.) * Oscillator X, particularly "Party People All Night Long", "Dynamo", and "Safety Net". * Genki Rockets, the band of Tetsuya Mizuguchi, creator of ''[[Lumines]]'', ''[[Rez]]'', and ''[[Child of Eden]]''. Most notably in "Breeze". Line 65 ⟶ 66: ** Kanye has also used Auto-Tune for rapping (like on T.I. and Jay-Z's "Swagga Like Us") and in combination with distortion and other processing for more dramatic effects (like the coda to his song "Runaway", where he sounds like a guitar solo.) * Hip-hop/R&B artist [[T-Pain]] is the [[Trope Codifier]], though arguably different than most usages since he uses it blatantly to sound like a robot and not just to make it sound like he can sing. ** He recently stated that [https://web.archive.org/web/20140412220837/http://blogs.villagevoice.com/music/2011/06/t_pain_vocal_effect_autotune.php he wants to move on from using Auto-Tune] and instead start using different vocal effects called the "T-Pain Effect." * ''[[Epic Rap Battles of History]]'' uses this for [[Stephen Hawking]] rather than the program the real Hawking uses to speak. This is because if you've ever heard Stephen Hawking speak, you know you can't ''rap'' with that program. Line 91 ⟶ 92: * Jordin Sparks, notably in "S.O.S.(Let the Music Play)" and parts of "One Step at a Time". * [[Katy Perry]]. * [[Michael ~~Buble~~Bublé]] uses it sometimes. Very apparent on "Haven't Met You Yet" and his cover of "All I Want for Christmas is You." * [[David Guetta]] uses for the distortion effect on [[Nicki Minaj]] on their song "Turn Me On". Line 113 ⟶ 114: {{examples\|Examples of Auto-Tune as a topic of discussion and within contexts other than music include:}} * Auto-Tune is part of the iPhone application "I AM T-PAIN". The backing tracks to a selection of T-Pain songs play and the user can sing along with their voice being distorted in the same style. * [[Jay- Z]] released a song called "D.O.A. (Death of Auto-Tune)" as a criticism of the method. After half the hip-hop community went up in arms over him performing the song live with T-Pain, he elaborated that the message was to leave the Auto-Tuning to people who actually use it for an artistic effect, as opposed to just for cleaning up sloppy vocal tracks. This group includes T-Pain and Kanye, and apparently [[Lil Wayne]] to a lesser extent. Whether his own ''blatant'' use of Auto-Tune on various tracks, including all of the sung parts on "Young Forever", counts as hypocrisy shall be left as an exercise for the reader. * Using Auto-Tune in wildly inappropriate contexts (e.g. babies crying, cats meowing, normal conversation settings) has become something of a meme on [[YouTube]]. ** The video series "[[Auto Tune the News]]" does this with various news clips for comedic effect. It's hit a popular zenith with the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMtZfW2z9dw "Bed Intruder Song"]. Line 134 ⟶ 135: * "Don't Copy That 2", the sequel to "Don't Copy That Floppy", uses Autotune on B Sheba's vocals during the bridge. * ''[[Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff]]'''s "movie" deliberately invoked it as part of the video's [[Sensory Abuse]] shtick, because [[Stylistic Suck\|everyone hates gratuitous Auto-Tune]]. [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/sweetbroandhellajeff/movies/SBAHJthemovie1.html WII-IIITH THEIR TOKEN BLAaAaAaAck FRIEND, GEeEeEeEeROOoOoOoOoOMYyYyY!!] * [[Justified]] with "[[Portal (series)\|Still Alive]]" and "[[Portal 2\|Want You Gone]]", since it's meant to sound like [[~~G La DOS~~GLaDOS\|a computer]] is singing it. Not Auto-Tune, per se. There are lots of tutorials on the Internet showing the procedure Valve likely used for the [[~~G La DOS~~GLaDOS]] voice effect (it comes VERY close, even with other voice actors). The same applies to [[Kate Bush]]'s 2011 reworking of "Deeper Understanding", much for the same reason. * [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkWdCU6m71A This version of] [[Dragon Ball Kai\|Dragon Soul]] has some rather noticeable spots where Auto-Tone is applied to [[Sean Schemmel]]'s voice.
