This one doesn’t take much explaining as you can check out the video below. A lot of people thought Kanye’s overuse of auto-tune on “808s & Heartbreak” was bad, well now he has also used auto-tune live on SNL. For certain parts of the song he just stops singing and a female backing track? (or singer that is off-stage?) comes in to finish his part.
Could this be some kind of revolution of Pro Tool’s plug-ins dominating live music? I think it’s quite possible.
