I want to become an expert in treating vocals manually.Nowadays, everything is digital, and there are so manydifferent plug-in options for tuning and aligning vocals, butI’ve noticed most of the times they are set to perform as anautomatic response for certain key/rhythm. Most peopledon’t realize this damages the waveform, making the tuningsound very evident and bumpy and changing the naturalfrequencies that were captured. It can be aesthetic sometimes, but that doesn’t work in everygenre. I feel getting hands on every single word, and vocaltrack individually makes a big difference on the final result.When you hear an artist sing, you remember why they strucka chord with so many listeners. If you start mangling withtheir voice carelessly and don’t take care of their identity, itundoes all the magic that they worked so hard to manifest. -->
