Rock Band 3 Will Auto-Tune Your Off-Key Singing

[Anticitizen_Two]

So, a Ke$ha simulator?

More like a simulator of any popular artist these days.

This is kinda disappointing. Like the OP said, part of the fun of karaoke is belting out songs you know you can't sing right (most of the time). As someone who volunteers to sing for most of the time, I hope it's not mandatory

2 things.

Does anyone else just talk the singing parts sometimes? Just in a music-y quality?
and
So instead of putting some form of quick vocal training for an option, we're going to further the diminish of music games, not that they were going to come back, you just don't have to bolt the coffin we were nailing.

So we get to use what the "real" singers use?

Also, is it just me or does Rockband not have enough Metal?

Rockband has a ton of metal, but I agree with you. More metal is necessary.

And don't release one of Pantera's worst albums when you have Vulgar Display of Cowboys From Hell to choose from Harmonix. That's just stupid.

How about a Lamb of God album like Wrath? It got to third on the Billborad charts. Thats fucking impressive for a modern metal band in the US.

"Rock Band 3 provides players with the option to enable vocal effects commonly used in the music industry, assisting players to sing on key more easily with pitch correction and bringing the tools that pros use into the living room," said a Harmonix representative.

People are screaming gloom n' doom without even reading the damn tin. It's an option for the people who just want to rock out and sound good at the same time. Definitely easier on my ears at least.

Why would I want to hear Soundgarden in the voice of T-Pain?

 

[teutonicman]

OH come on that takes all the "fun" out of the singing. I wonder if there will also be a T-Pain mode?

I wasn't aware sounding like a bitchy gay robot sounded good. (point for reference)

I doubt they'd be using the technology that heavily, and I don't really see a problem. A clear, gay sounding robot is better than a drunk, screaming, ear-bleeding guy who can't sing (though those moments do have their place).

I guess it just depends on the situation. We also have to keep in mind Rock Band 3 isn't coming out for a while, I'm sure Harmonix has a way to implement it.

This sounds mega dumbed down. These games are supposed to be hard on expert, not having wussy auto tune on to help you

Only commies, rapists and some pleasent people should use this... Sorry I am getting carried away

 

[AstylahAthrys]

It may not be a substantial response, but all I can say to this is "lol." Now I can be a "real" pop artist, too!

It doesn't sadly. But, it has to appeal to as many people as possible, and not everyone likes music that fall under the metal genre.

 

[Sennz0r]

But on the plus side, maybe this means I'll finally get to fulfill my lifelong wish of playing a music game where I get to sound like T-Pain [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=avaSdC0QOUM].

Awww yeah, fantasy becomes reality!

OT: I don't see how that works well, since the people standing next to you will still hear your harpy shrieks better than the television's speakers.

Then again, let's just sit back and see how it turns out.

Not this time around it seems, being fair though there are still a fair few songs left to announce so we can only hope

Rock Band 4: The game will play for you while you have sex...

I understand it comes with a player piano and hundreds of feeds!

Uh, these games were never about musical ability. It's for people who want to play along to some songs, and pretend they're rockstars. Not that there's anything wrong with that of course, it's great fun, and it's escapism like any other game. But it was never about making people better musicians (except for drums maybe). That's what actual instruments and bands are for.

This may be the first practical use of auto-tune I've ever seen.
