Hi Dennis, My email did say, it's remarkable and uncomfortable. I'm not using it on my tracks, I don't even use drum loops or double hits of any kind., everything I record is written or played by me. I think this is a very clever tool for producers who can't afford to have World class musicians to be at their Studio on a daily bases. There are guys on this list who could use this and you wouldn't even know they'd used it. I personally as a professional musician am impressed and more than slightly uneasy with this kind of technology. The Yamaha organs had auto accompaniment, that was the start of virtual musicians, it's scary to think where is this all going to end up?

When i started up playing on an Yamaha organ back in 1972, it soundede like shit when you used the automatic features. It was only those that could not play that used those things. Time has change and if you are not using automatic features you has to work very hard to show that you are the mann. We are now getting so close to the limits of playing together with real musicians that you may ask your self if it was not cheeper just to by a cd and play some cords over it. Wonderfull if you are composing and will try different lines, but i do not hope to heare it on a Recording. What names of the musicians will you state on the album?

Don't need it do I? O that's right. Even those talent shows such as the X Factor, don't give using AutoTune a second thought. Don't watch the X Factor here however, apparently they have been criticised for allowing the various artists to use AutoTune. And the record companies wonder why they are not selling music? I come from the old school of musicians and singers. Meaning that, if you can't play or sing then, you shouldn't be going anywhere near a recording studio, LOL!
