Luciana (and everyone else),
thank you for some great replies. My father sang as a Cathedral Choir Boy and very young I sung as a soprano before my voice broke, after which I was told 'out'. I've spent the last near 40 years or so believing that I can't sing for toffee but with Luciana's lessons and her positivism, and yours, am slowly building up courage to maybe try again. (Warning to all the cats in the neighborhood - be scared .) Thanks all. Cheeers, Tony -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.

it will be extremely difficult for you to try and replicate someone elses sound that isn't in your natural style. Not only that, but it's part of what will make you unique and stand out as an artist. Question then for anyone - to what extent can a vocal harmoniser like Antares Autotune 'fill' in the gap between ability and my bumbling? That's both in terms of adding a bit of 'sparkle', if you see what I mean, and attempting the (probably) impossible of correcting my bad singing? I'm particularly interested as it seems to me that an awful lot of commercial 'hit' records have Antares or something similar processing the vocals now a days. (And you can spot them easily .) Studio wise I'm guilty, I use Melodyne and that can correct an awful lot of issues - not just with singing but instruments generally. When we talk about 'feel' (and I do agree with the idea) studio musicians however often aren't really expected to be 'individual' but to be able to play/sing technically correctly - if you see what I mean - in the pocket, on pitch, etc and pretty much homogenised. But if they can't - Antares, Melodyne fill the gap... Perhaps I'm being overly provocative but for me the question might be expanded to 'Natural ability, training, or studio processing'? Take a look at 'X Factor' - I'll bet that the winner will rely heavily on the studio . Cheers, Tony ps Apologies Luciana and all who can sing, you do have a gift and good singers are a joy to work with in the studio. -------------------- Get your music professionally mastered by anl AES registered Mastering Engineer.
