I feel a trap here
That's a very good question..
If I were to answer based on what I know, I would have to answer no.
However if I were to base it on what I think I've heard a few times, I would say maybe. There were moments on Vertigo where I thought I heard certain little nuances in the tone of his voice that reminded me of experiments with pitch correction I had done and reminded me of what others have said pitch correction does to your voice. They were very few and far between, those moments, so I don't think he's using it very much, if at all.
To be honest though, pitch correction isn't the 'cure all' it is made out to be. You still have to hit the note for the processor to recognize the note you're trying for, as far as I understand the theory behind it. One thing I do know is that it won't make a bad singer great, that's for sure.
No trap. I was just curious to hear from someone who actually sounds like they know something about the issue. I agree, if he does use it, it's not that much because I've never heard the tell tale signs... Of course I've never used any of the highest end live pitch correction devices, but I've played around with some live pitch correction that a friend's band had in Chicago. I was just curious to play around with it. It would cause jumps and a very mechanical sounding tone most of the time when it was correcting. What's hilarious is I've seen this band use it live, if she hits a really awful note it would "correct" it to this wierd note. She said once when they first got it, they programmed a song in the wrong key so she may have sung it in key, but it corrected it to the one they programmed... she said it was a very Ashlee Simpson moment.
