It's definitely super pitch corrected, probably done for effect though, I doubt it needed to be corrected as much as it is on the CD to sound relatively solid. He seems to do alright in the studio blogs on Youtube.

That's what I mean.
Who cares about pitch correction, as long as there are no audible artifacts on the record?

I can't believe I just read, "Who cares about pitch correction". What the fuck ever happened to being good at singing? Everyones getting fucking lazy.
Also, the autotuning is NOT transparent on this cd. It sticks out like a motherfucker.

Just like the distortion on the guitars sticks out, whatever happened to using strings made of BEES to get your grind?!? Fucking amps are cheating!
The autotune on this CD is CLEARLY used for effect, that's the sound they were going for and they achieved it.

If thats true than they need to be smacked, but I have a feeling it wasn't meant for effect.

Neither do Cynic (dammit if they use a Vocoder though, I think on one of the two albums it was pitch correction but I'm not sure).

Why do they need to be smacked?
If they wanted it like that that's their business. I don't think they care if YOU like it or not.

I don't see a problem with the auto-tune... Joey explained this on AIM to me pretty well:
"8:45:08 PM Joey: thats what i hear on the records these bands (prada) look up to
8:45:17 PM Joey: i can't really see a natural ness to it
8:45:24 PM Joey: they're not singing like r&b
8:45:30 PM Joey: they're just doing straight notes per sylable
8:45:55 PM Joey: its a lot of layers tho"

Damit, that record sounds good! :O
At first I thought I wouldn't like the music but I'm enjoying that quite a bit as well. It somehow reminds me of Soilwork.
I'm gonna take this CD to the car and see how it sounds there. Should be interesting!

I'm not defending the musicians, If you have to produce some band you shouldn't give a shit about their quality as musicians and make them sound the best you can no matter how. It's your job, you're not their singing teacher.
If that means insane pitch correction, then it's your task to make it as transparent and smooth as possible, without compromising the final product.
EDIT: Now i've just listened to the right song, and the tuning seems to be an effect rather than a fix.

I've had to do tonnnnnnsss of pitch correction on a band before, because the dude was almost tone deaf...i somehow made it believable sounding though...
My thing is, the autotune is noticeable, but its not blatant enough to say its an effect. It just annoys me. But lets just kill this convo right now, k?
lol @ people who talk shit about autotune when it's on 90% of any records they have heard in the past 10 years.
When you are doubling something it is basically necessary to tune them a bit to get them tight, not to mention adding a harmony and doubling that? plus a low octave and whatever other layers you want to put down? You can be the best singer ever but when you are working with that many layers all the little differences build up quick and make it sound like ass.
Maybe there are some singers that can do it but I haven't met one.
