Pardon my ignorance - what's autotuning?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's how she'll start just off pitch and then hit the note.

Scooping.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am pretty sure that nearly all the voices are auto-tunes on Glee. It is a shame because I understand the singers have naturally great voices that don't need autotune, so I'm not sure why they use it so much.

Compassionately intolerant

I'm with le nubian. All of the voices seem 'augmented' to me, especially Kurt's and Finn's. And Artie, much as I like his natural voice. Mercedes, much less so. I think hers is the least produced.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

Cop Rock had its moments (and every time I see an ad for one of these TV judges that has a choir singing in the courtroom, I think "did we learn NOTHING from Cop Rock?"). And seriously - it was better than a lot of what's on now. And getting renewed.

I will never forget the jury/choir rocking and singing "he's guilty! and now he's got to pay!" In case you missed it - [link] (God bless You Tube)

so I'm not sure why they use it so much.

It's probably to save time. They don't have time to do multiple takes, so they do a few and cobble them together with autotune.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

I'm fairly certain that Rachel and Jessie are both auto-tune free (i've worked with plenty of broadway performers and every one of them would claw out the eyes of any director who even hinted at wanting to autotune their voices. Heck, some even protested using mics for live mixing because they hated hearing the slight alteration to their voice of just ampliciation. It's a pride thing, a "my voice is so well trained that i can do any effect you want better than a computer program" thing.) Mercedes also sounds un-touched.

But if Finn's solos were autotuned anymore they would be MIDI. It hurts a little. I was very happy to see Puck get some solo time at Regionals.
