5 Things: Auto-Tune

Heard of Auto-Tune? via Wikipedia,

Auto-Tune is a proprietary audio processor created by Antares Audio Technologies. Auto-Tune uses a phase vocoder to correct pitch in vocal and instrumental performances. It is used to disguise inaccuracies and mistakes, and has allowed many musical artists to produce more precisely tuned recordings.

The topic of auto-tune has been finding its way into some recent conversations with Melissa. So here are 5 auto-tune videos that will lighten up your day:

2. TK McKamy and niece auto-tuned
(Melissa, Ella, and I really enjoyed this one).

3. Charlie Bit Me (Auto-tuned)

The last two videos need 5 points of explanation.

• I really wasn't going to waste anyone's time by posting this (first) video.
• Then someone creatively applied some much-needed auto-tune to the original.
• The video features Shane Lee. He's going to sing 5 "oftaves" (octaves) on the piano for you.
• He's closing in on 1 million views. Unbelievable.
  
• If Josh Milton had a twin ... it would be Shane Lee.
