I'm thinking Bunny would let me melt bismuth in her pans before she would accept
Melodyne
(link via Instapundit)
as a valid music making tool.
It definitely looks more flexible than Auto-Tune
(say,
add a harmonizing vocal track only to words sung in B,
for instance).
The vocals that are “corrected” are still noticeable—it's just a different effect than the robotic reverberations of Auto-Tune.
Don't get me wrong,
it's still noticeable,
but it isn't … um … as tinny? Robotic? Computerized? as Auto-Tune.
So … Tool? Crutch?
Does it depend upon your viewpoint?
As a non-musician,
I find
Melydyne to be an incredible tool to allow people who otherwise can't carry a tune to create music.
But Bunny,
having had musical training,
might think differently
(I can relate—I hate PHP yet it allows people who aren't programmers write programs,
for better but usually worse).
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
