That's what I was targeting... the gratuitous use of the effect. I like
computer generated effects (audio or video) when they are well executed,
not an attempt to make lousy music (or script) better. Seems like
everything coming out these days is stunningly recorded (or
photographed) crap.
I found a video
of "I'm Sprung" via Google... that is an awful sound. Do
people actually like that? It seems very gratuitous, like the overly
obvious CG effects used in movies...
Well, it depends. I think AutoTune sounds kind of obnoxious when used
as anything more than a touch-up. I respect the idea of abusing it
for a new effect. Somehow, it doesn't come out pleasing though...
::-).
It's probably just that the music I associate it with isn't the best.
I suspect it'd be a great effect paired with some things that I like -
think electronica/industrial hard rock mixes. I wouldn't be too
surprised to learn that some of the effects The Faint come up with cam
from AT.
Anyhow, just playing it straight - don't hate the effect, hate the bad
choice of the sound dude.
