Yes but that was very very obvious. the modern voice enhancement is more
subtle and yet bad.


I can go back much further with this sort of thing for novellty value.
Herbie Hancock Sunshine, Stevie Wonder has used it many times as way back
then ring modulation was used in Sparkys magic piano. The latest incarnation
may well be digital and flips to the next pitch etc, but the suitability
for anything other than pure spot effect is a bit of an open question. My
main point is that its not actually needed on most of the places its used.

I find I can pick it up so often now that I know what it sounds like.
It does make everyone sound like a robot. Do they not listen to real
singers any more?

You could quite clearly herar it on Robbie Williams first solo hit Angels
beating with his voice. absolutely daft.

Cher is arguably perfectly competent yet she trailblazed the technique
20 years ago. Clearly as an effect, not a correction.

Same could be said for a lot of effects, both audio and visual, in use
in modern media.

You or I may think it daft or irritating. But once some of the 'hit makers'
decide in their infinite wisdom that it helps 'sell' their output, they'll
use it. Its the *money* they're after, and this is their 'product'. And
being able to do things like this can also help them establish a 'guru'
status which keeps them employed along the line to fiddle about with what
musicians and recording engineers have created.
