This is very interesting.\u00a0 I posted a question here a few days ago to get some opinions and it started rather a heated stir on Twitter.\u00a0 The question was whether it was wrong to employ pitch correction (typically using Auto-Tune<\/a>) on vocals in a recording project.\u00a0 Actually I may have left out the specification of its use in recording (BTW I think using it for live performance IS a bit of a cheat).\u00a0 Here is the question I posed:<\/p>\n
