I remember reading a magazine article and Brian & Roger were asked if Freddie's voice was ever auto tuned and they said no.
And i have never ever heard of it through Queen sources like books, roadie interviews or sound producers.

For more information, reread the thread.

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? [/QUOTE]
Religious fanatic types are interested in propagating their dogma, not well researched evidence that refutes it.

Well i think the evidence speaks for itself as no one who has worked with Queen in the recording studios has ever mentioned auto tuning Freddie's vocals ! I think this thread is just bollocks.

Of course they are not going to admit it as they want to perpetuate the myth that Freddie sang perfectly every line in every song in every concert. That's what is bollocks.

I think some of the earlier reissues have a protools operator credit on them.

No, the evidence that is available shows they DID alter/edit his vocals. As others have pointed out, Fat Bottomed Girls at Milton Keynes is a prime example. Watch and you'll see....

It's the line "ain't no beauty queens in this locality".
He botched it. They fixed it afterwards. Simples.
It's not the only example. If you listened and watched closely enough instead of blindly defending him, you'd realise that people are telling you the truth.

I think he's purely referring to the albums in Freddie's lifetime which of course shows incredible laziness not reading the thread that we've crafted lovingly.

It takes years and ongoing effort but I have lovingly set up my own version of Queenzone and copied and pasted every topic, comment, spam, pic and video onto it EXCEPT any criticism of Fred.

Freddie hated to be perfect on stage night after night he even said so himself so yeah he did occasionally go off key but he was only a human being working very hard doing 2 hour shows night after night it can and does affect the voice. We as fans were not informed that Freddie was auto tuned on the live albums and if he was this must have been done after he passed away because that sort of technology surely was not around in Freddie's days?
He was still an incredible vocalist and the best ever in rock n roll by miles.

We as fans didn't need to be informed. We as fans can hear for ourselves. This might have been the first example of him being auto-tuned (and so would be after he died) but you do know that Queen reworked live recordings in the studio before this? Live Killers, for example. It's not entirely "live".
