Could I tell whether or not sound has been manipulated?
In recent times, pop music vocals have been sounding “note- and pitch perfect,” and even some hip-hop singers have been hitting their notes with exaggerated precision, point out one writer. How is the done? Through a technology called Auto-Tune that “can take a vocal and instantly nudge it onto the proper note or move it to the correct pitch. It can transform wavering performance into something technically flawless.
Unfortunately, when most songs seem to have perfect pitch, they are harder to differentiate from one another, leading to bland sameness.
