OMG ! Yeah! That's right! This is Auto-tune effect! But if I ever heard an instance like this elsewhere? Na-ha |

I think it has something to do with the repeating "Bonnie and Clyde" segment at the end. That part sounds like it was given Auto-Tune for effect. |

Strangely, it seems that "pitch-correcting"or any of those kind of effects are related through her "English stuff", why is that?
In any case, I also think she doesn't need it to fit in through the music, and she uses it only on artistic shape purposes! What's more, I never heard the slightest pitch variation, even if there is auto tune effect, you can hear a little "space" thing inside whereas there's none, with Utada. Unless it's hidden very very well! |

I know for a fact part of album version of B&C is auto-tuned (as stated on the Wiki page) How do you know for a fact that Auto-Tune was used on the track? Wikipedia is no reliable source, especially if it doesn't cite any reference for its claims like in this case. |

Pretty much every singer has used some variation of a pitch-correcter at some point in their career. Utada included.
I know for a fact part of album version of B&C is auto-tuned (as stated on the Wiki page) I also think "Let Me Give You My Love", "Wonder 'Bout" and to some extent, "Exodus '04" used some pitch-altering software, as those tracks were mixed and produced in collaboration with Timbaland, and he's notorious for pitch-altering pretty much every song he works on. I also think given the mainstream producers for This Is the One, that auto-tune creeped in a little there. But who knows? As someone else posted, it's best to ask Utada herself. Although I am almost 100% positive that Utada has only ever used autotune / pitch-correctors purely for artistic effect, and not to make her voice be carried through the music (unlike some other mainstream artists out there). I don't know if any of this has been said before, as I'n too tired to drift through 5 pages of discussion (sorry!) |

This post definitely is the greatest reasoning I never read! I utterly agree with this last one. And I'd better add, her voice has this special something, and you know, when you hear it, that she definitely knows how to sing. When you hear her live performances, there are no "electronical" (if it's not on acoustic purposes) effects added in it, right! Hence proof there's no auto-tune needed in her stuff. All that I could really notice through her music is reverb, delay, and "chorus" effects! Apart from that, she's incredibly faithful to her voice... And I also think she would feel it as "cheating", if she came to use "auto-tune" x) |

What some of you are not realizing is that there's a difference between the "Autotune plugin" and the "Autotune effect". The "Autotune plugin" is only one of many types of plugin that does pitch correction. The Autotune plugin can be used to make a slightly off key performance sound more in tune. The "Autotune effect" is when you take ANY pitch correction plugin, turn all the settings up as high as possible, and have the voice sound like T-pain or Cher. I don't think Utada has used the "Autotune effect" in her Japanese music. If she has, it was only for like a background vocal.
However, there is no way to differentiate the "Autotune plugin" from other voice correction plugins or software just by listening to a track because they can all do the same basic things Yes, Utada does use pitch correction every once in a while. If a singer sings a note really off and it's run through pitch correction that note will sound really bright and different from the notes around it. But the only way you can know if she uses the Autotune plugin or a different one is to ask Utada herself. Quote:
More than 90% Even YouTube singers use pitch correction now. And some big artists say they use pitch correction in live performances. . |

90%+ of today's popular music now uses pitch correction. (This is not a good thing, it's the sign of the death of real music.) |

Melodyne and Antares Auto-Tune are two programs that do the same thing. And neither makes "any idiot sing pitch perfect." Both require the singer to at least be close to the notes. The problem is, to those who have a quality ear, it all sounds like robotic rubbish. |
