It's not just Autotune - how singers cheat today (Pop Theory)

Most popular artists are mainly propped up by great producers

Only 5:43? You're a legend!

Intro looks like an ad, but there was no option to skip.

LOL at her face when he says “you can’t become a pop star with that voice right” 😂😂😂

The irony of her lyrics: I Can't Make It On My Own 😂🤣

dude this was so good

Finally someone who knows what he's talking about. YT is fulled with videos about autotuning when actually they don't even know the difference between autotune, chorus, compressor, dubbing vocals etc. Well done bro!

Has anyone ever really heard a chipmunk speak? Asking for a friend

"Grab a cup of joe, and then buy me a dog..." That escalated quickly.

The homeless guy at 4:14 regularly interrupts my street shows hhahaah

This is why i listen to 80's songs. The pure musics.

Musicians from the lowest to highest levels use comping because when they are in the studio and they are about to release a recording to the world that they can't change afterward, they want to put out the best performance possible, and really, it isn't cheating if they are taking the best parts from multiple takes. It's a simple fact that a musician will play a song a little differently each time (not necessarily worse), and if the chorus sounds good on the first take, but the verse on the second is better, why not comp from both? Furthermore, spending endless hours in the studio trying to get a single, perfect take with zero mistakes and no comping is unrealistic, not to mention exhausting on the musician and expensive, as studio time costs money. For example, Adele uses comping in the studio to get the best of each take for a song, but live she just sings; of course it isn't perfect, but in a live setting people go to see her and to hear her "raw" voice.

Hello Roomie.I was waiting since your last video to upload the next pop theory.When i saw this,i literally fell off my chair

0:33 Roomie : so you may think that someone like Louise here would not be able to become a world class pop star, not with that Voice, right ?! Louise : 😕😕

The autotune BARELY changed your singing. You're so good man! Super informative video too! <3

Note from a violin teacher: don’t slide around to find the notes 😂

Please turn on notifications - I don't upload very often, but when I do it's good stuff! Appreciate you all 👊

0:18 vs 5:11 The difference is insane.

It has become another effect just like reverb, delay, compression, etc. Everyone uses it these days... no exceptions. I have no problem with it either as long as the singer can deliver a solid live performance.
