Death to the Auto-Tune


It's no secret that Auto-Tune was a ProTools plug-in that the engineers designed as a sparingly used augmentation to professional musicians. (It was actually a request of record labels, as it saves studio time and artists' time). Of course we, all know that the damn plug-in is used in EVERY top 40 hit these days, to the point of utter ridiculousness. Well, rap artist B.o.B. ( He's the guy behind "Haterz Everywhere") decided to speak a bit of mind in his latest track, "Auto-Tune".

As he says:

"Well I was in the studio/But I couldn't hit the notes
I could have got a vocal coach/But I don't want no vocal coach"

He continues his story and then adds in some rhymes. Not a bad song actually. Listen for yourself:
