I think im good enough to be in Coldplays's band!!!!

This is me singing an autotuned version of Viva la Vida by Coldplay! What do you guys think its pretty beast huh. I sound like t-pain

LMFAO I know I messed up on some parts so plz don't laugh!

So wuduya think? Am I a good singer or what? Rate on scale 1-10 plz.

Is that what that shitty robotic sound on all these songs is? AUTOTUNING!?!

Autotuning is the worst fucking thing that has ever happened.

That was so bad that it made my EYES bleed. MY EYES WEREN'T EVEN LISTENING.

EEK!

Get out. I hate Auto-Tune so much!

My voice is too deep for this song lol!

that was awful and T-pain sucks.... i know this because how else would he get a recording contract?

Why so much hate for auto tune guys? It makes ur voice sound soooooo much better!

If you can't sing it without autotuning, then you're probably not good enough to be in Coldplay. Sorry, dude.

"Why so much hate for auto tune guys? It makes ur voice sound soooooo much better!"

It's not called auto tuning it's pitch correction. And like it or not, every album to come out on a major label in the last 5-6 years has had the some measure of pitch correction on it. Not that I'm particularly fond of the process it is still prevelent on most albums. It's why most vocal performances on albums are no where near what they used to be back in the days of The Who and Led Zepplin, artists and to a larger extent producers need to realize that no one likes listening to a pitch perfect vocal performance, they want a passionate, heart felt, and genuine one.

For all the haters of Auto-Tune:  shut the fuck up.  I am okay with anyone using anything they possibly can to make music, so long as I like it.  The new Kanye album was excellent.

Please stop.

Who the FUCK are any of you to say what is and isn't music?  Now, Austin, while I usually find your topics to be mind-numbingly painful to read, as well as the fact that I don't like Coldplay at all...I gotta say that if that really IS you doing that Auto-Tune, way to go, dood.  It's not perfect, but it's better than most of the motherfuckers talking shit about it on here can do, with or without Auto-Tune.

Oh, and if it's not you, DIAF.

AY!!!!!

oh for the record i dont think auto tune is bad i think T-pain is bad and austins singing to be awful.... "

I would just prefer to hear a human sing out of tune than a robot sing in tune.

The autotuner is just the next step in musical devolution.

Strangely enough its also featured on the latest Bon Iver EP...why a man with such a beautiful voice would go for such a sound is beyond me. Robot folk maybe?

I'm not gonna get into an argument over weather pitch adjustment belongs in music or not, but I will say this...
Austin, that was CRAP!
nobody has yet rated him on a scale of 1-10 like he said, so let me be the first...
I give you a 1/10!

You could be in Kanye West's crew.

I don't really think Austin was that bad. If nothing else, he had the balls to do it, and that's half of singing, the more difficult half, really.

they're really not that different from the backstreet boys, I agree.

Electric instruments are not necessarily played.  Again, pointing at the example of Embrace the Villain, we use drum programming software (specifically Acoustica Beatcraft).  That's simply clicking buttons with a mouse and figuring out the sequence of it all.  It does everything else itself.  So it's not like we're actually playing the instrument.  Sure, belly is playing the guitar and I'm rockin the vocals, and I went through pure Hell doing the screaming because I was already sick and phlegmed up.  Nonetheless, people say screaming doesn't take talent, and they have no fucking clue what they are talking about.  It takes just as much as singing does.

I've got some autotune stuff in the works, more daft punk type music though. The autotune scene is new to me but if you use it right and have some post prod. editing you can produce great results. I would say that autotune for me is a tutorial for my voice. Singing in jam bands is so so different then autotune, and if you think about cross merging the two it's going to sound so wierd. You need to train your voice, find the right settings, do the quality editing work before getting anything to sound half-way decent. Oh and drink lots of water, good lord singing is a strain on your voice. Good start though, good luck. 

Gah whenever I see an Austin thread I can't help but think of a former 'bomber.  Of course I am speaking of the legendary Levio91.  His threads were the greatest.  His threads put wannabes like Austin to shame.  RIP HOMEBOY. xoxo

P.S.  don't autotune.  As we speak, research is being done in top secret laboratories that may link auto tuning to syphilis, rabies, leprosy, and broakbakitis.  

Anything is possible as long as you dream. Create goals and reach them.

That's where you're incredibly wrong. But I agree with everything else."

Really? Man i really disliked his new album.... daft punk voice does not mix well with Kanye imo.

Anyway great stuff.

Guys im about to up load my 2nd

Here it is my Tpain one! Its called "Buy you Drank"
I admit I tried a little harder on this one so u can be critical.

I was smashing my head against the desk as I listened to that shit. Please, for the sake of all that is good...stop.

This is very interesting.

On a side note, apparently a near unwatchable video of my band is being used to advertise some Goth dating site in Canada. It's from our first show, we're all really drunk, and it's really horrible, it was a drunken idea to upload it to YouTube, the actual show wasn't that bad, but it's funny as hell to see it with the ad for the dating site at the bottom.

You know Coldplay is the name of the band, right?

So, when you say, "im good enough to be in Coldplay's band!!!!", it doesn't make a bit of sense.

Oh, and even with autotuning, that was pretty terrible.

Not the best but its a start i guess.. Its amazing that a lot of people dont realize that no one is born with perfect vocals, they get better with practice.

you should puck up an instrument too like a guitar or something, that way you can entertain your friends or w/e at dull parties. Or even start a band :D

"AY!!!!!

Music is about expression of the soul, not expression of the soul through some fine-grain filter. It's like . . . imagine if they took a piece of literature a new, up-and-coming author wrote and fed it into a machine that changes all the wording to be more impactful, poetic and symbolic. Could you really get behind that? It's having a machine do the work for you, which is BULLSHIT when it comes to art!

Maybe this hits closer to home for me because I've spent a lot of time to learn how to sing in tune and with at least a speck of good tone quality, also that there are amazingly talented vocal groups out there that are less of a household name than the people that have to autotune or correct their pitch or whatever. Even so, I don't see much wrong with a missed note every now and again. It keeps your music earthly, which I think can be a great thing. Hell, an entire musical genre was founded upon hitting the wrong note!

The fact that trying to make everything so clean-cut and dandy seems to not only go against the spirit of rap, hip-hop, rock, and most popular genres today, but it goes against the entity of music in and of itself. It's never been about perfection, but passion. There are no perfect songs, only more passionate songs than others. Therefore, measuring a song by a scale of notes hit correctly and therefore seeing a need to correct your mistakes rather than judging a song by the soul and power of it seems counterproductive and plain deceptive.

But, that's just me. And who am I? But, I will say that the singers that time will remember, like Marvin Gaye, Freddie Mercury and James Brown, got to that position by way of injecting their hearts into their craft. These new guys are all about new tech, and it's starting to grind my ass.

"

Good God no. Don't start a band.

On a scale of 1 to 10

I HATE YOU.

I fucking hate autotune and i think its ruined music for the most part. But maybe thats just me (its not). I wont discourage you... so, FUCK YEAH MAN! Go contact Coldplay asap!

Don't Trip, I'm not that good at auto-tune either.

"Why so much hate for auto tune guys? It makes ur voice sound soooooo much better!"

Auto tune is something that people use if they can't hit a note perfectly. These stupid rappers are putting it all the way up so they can sound like they can sing. Boo.

Yeah.  You're totally good enough to join that band that Coldplay has.  What was the name of Coldplay's band again?  Oh well.

I would compare this auto-tune craze to the amount of synthesizers used in the 80's. I hope auto-tune dies soon, it is just a tool for people who can't sing but want to get famous (T-pain, Kanye West, etc.)"

You sound like you're straining your voice too hard. Is your natural range lower than that?"

Why settle for coldplay? I think you cold move up to singing on a corner, or mabey the subway if you practice enough.
