Class Proposal - Auto-tune

            Auto-tune is a piece of pitch correction software which was created by Antares Audio Technologies, but now the word “auto-tune” is widely used to refer to any technology who can correct off-key vocals.
            Auto-tune has come to popularity since 1998. It began with a song called “Believe” by the American singer Cher. Intended, in the first place, to correct off-key vocals, many artists, especially pop singers have later found it interesting to create new music styles, like T-Pain, Lil Wayne and Kanye West.

            The major belief nowadays is that anyone can sing with auto-tune since it will make your pitch perfect. But my belief is that to be a real singer you need much more than that. So in my project, I will dig into the history of auto-tune, find out interesting technical aspects of it, and prove that to be a singer, auto-tune is just not enough.
