Pitch correction is used in a variety of ways in the studio. It's a time worn trick to use an Eventide Harmonizer (Which is a type of pitch corrector) to thicken vocals. It's called the magic 99, bascially you set the thing to harmonize and then just slip it to 99%, so that it's almost recreating the same sound. It adds a bit of "grit" to the vocal and thickens it up a touch. Also can help it cut through the music arrangements at times.
So, pitch correcting doesn't always mean someone can't carry a tune in a bucket.

I know the "thickening" thound of which you thpeak and it thickens me with the thickness of a thousand thunthz.
Hec, I hope you did not send the mix CDs cause they are not here - and I've been gone longer than I expected to be and didn't stop the mail for the whole time. Will cry if you sent them and someone grabbed them.
No woman no cry. Rather berate me since I have been frazzled return guy and feckless when it comes to mailing things this week. However, I am hoping against hope that I can mail large batches of things out tomorrow, and your package should include a complete set (4) of the wedding CDs, just for you in the land of unemployment.
I broke my no CD buying phase. This weekend I came across a $10 sale and bought the following:
David Gray - White Ladder
Foo Fighters - There is Nothing Left to Lose
Pink - Can't Take Me Home
Wilco - Being There
Lisa Stansfield - Biography
White Stripes - White Blood Cells
Modest Mouse - Good News for People Who Love Bad News
The Vines - Highly Evolved
Christina Aguilera - Christina Aguilera
Run-DMC - Greatest Hits
The Vines - Highly Evolved
I have this on mp3. It's pretty good stuff. "Autumn Shade" is lovely. And "Get Free" still rocks.
There was a guy at the flea market this weekend selling $5 cds and $10 DVDs, all new. I almost broke down. But I was good. Now, I'm regretful.
Jesus Christ, Jon. Bob Quine is too young to be dead.
Latest word is that it was suicide, or at least self-inflicted, but I haven't seen any official confirmation yet.
How sad. I'm listening to WFMU, and they've played a bunch of his stuff, but there hasn't been a break since I tuned in, so no updates. I saw him at J&R last winter and introduced myself. He was really nice. Great player, seemed like a real mensch, too. What a bummer.
