They DID AutoTune Freddie Mercury

I'm just leaving this here primarily so I remember to watch it tomorrow. Looks interesting.

Freddie's vocals were never auto tuned because he was a gifted singer and never needed any false technology to tidy his vocals up.

It's more about retroactively on the live reissues which we tend to agree is true.

Why do you feel the need to write something like this in a thread which starts with a video explaining that they DID autotune his voice?

Thanks for the video, that guy has usually very interesting analytical videos

Great video. Cheers.

I can understand the autotune on live releases. No one can continuously hit notes perfectly every time. If for that brief moment here can't ear properly for whatever reason it can happen. I can accept that because he's only human. Overdubbing I feel a little more critical of. Not a fan but it does happen. Very interesting video though. Thanks for sharing Dysan.

I didn’t watch the video but I always thought they auto tuned him in fairy feller at the rainbow. There were a couple of vocal bits that sounded corrected.

At the time when he was alive and performing, he didn't use autotune and people praised his voice back then. Now that some of it is getting auto tuned, it still doesn't take away from the raw power of his original voice which was loved by millions of fans world wide even back when he was alive.

FBG on Live at the Bowl is another famous one.

Yes, that could be the first time they may have used it. I never made the link when that first came out and simply thought it was spliced from a different performance.

Just watching it now. It's funny that he pronounces Autotune as 'Outtatune'. Ironic.

I always thought it curious that they DIDN'T autotune John's bass on Tear It Up off of Wembley 86. It sounds like one string of his bass was flat...
