I had to look Seth Lover up. Mr Humbucker! At first I thought he'd invented the Kazoo, then I realised I'd misread his location ...
Rick said back in the 80s that the day will come when if the electronics don't like what you play, they won't let you play it!
Talking of that, people keep saying "she/he sounds really autotuned". How can they tell? (Serious question.) It's clearly something more than "not singing out of tune".
By the way, talking of Marshall and Fender, who knows why a Leiden Jar is called a Leiden jar? Apart from being invented in Leiden (or Leyden) that is.

Apart from being invented in Leiden (or Leyden) that is. Autiotune can lend a subtle metallic sound to a voice, making it sound a bit unnatural. Cher's 'Believe' is an example where it's turned up 'to the max' as it were. There is a suggestion that a lot of X-Factor contestants have a live autotune during broadcast... |

Aha that! Thank you. I think with Cher it's being used as an Effect. As far as I am concerned, anything that puts people in tune, is a good idea ... but I think the audience needs it more than the singers do  |
