Hey everyone, I hope this is an appropriate forum for what I'm posting, as I need some expertise regarding vocal processing.
I got sent an audition piece recently, and I suspect it's been heavily auto-tuned to get it to sound good. Some parts of it sound artificial to me, and I'd like to know whether it was pitch-corrected or not before we waste time bringing this person in for an audition.
Since it was recorded over our original demo, I was able to subtract that and get a mostly-isolated vocal. I'm hoping that some of you, who have had experience of using Melodyne and/or Autotune to fix these things, will recognise some of the standard artifacts and tell-tale signs and point them out. Or, you'll note their absence and tell me I'm wrong.
