The history of Auto-Tune
- Auto-Tune is a well-known audio tool used for Pitch correction
Auto-Tune is a well-known audio tool, used for Pitch correction, both in monophonic instruments and vocalists. Andy Hidelbrand was responsible for the creation of this tool, he was oblivious to the world of music, since, although he had a doctorate in electrical engineering since 1976, his work was not in the musical area as other people in the area do of electricity that work, for example, in the creation of amplifiers, microphones or sound effects, Hidelbrand worked as an engineer at the Exxon oil company, with calculations of linear estimation and signal processing, so his field of action was closer to Geophysics than sound. Although his work at Exxon was mainly developed in 2D and 3D mapping of the earth's surface, he was attracted to the world of music and one of his arguments was that sampling-based instruments sounded bad, that's how it happened of the time, he created a software to improve the samplig, thus Infinity and his company Antares Audio Technology were born.
Later, with Antares Audio Technology already founded and by a joke of an assistant who told him to invent something to sing tuned, Auto-Tune was born in 1996 and thus the controversial Pitch correction was born, before Auto-Tune, the resources to Logging voices were limited, so with his birth, Auto-Tune came to change the history of music, among the musicians who made this process popular, Cher is with his song 'Belive' and the singer T-Pain or Kanye West in his album '808s and Heartbreak'. There is currently a variety of software for pitch correction, such as the well-known Melodyne or the free Autotalent plugin (FMCMstaff, 2015; Isaza, 2017).
