Keep in mind, you can use Auto-Tune and you can know how to work it perfectly, but you still have to know how to write a good song.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There's a lot of stuff you've gotta know about Auto-Tune before you can start using it, because it's the hot thing to do.
When you write a song you have an idea of how it should be sung but it doesn't work out that way if someone else records it.
But when you get to a song, not only do you have to do a vocal melody, you have to write words and not be redundant and make some semblance of a story.
I think Eminem should use Auto-Tune.
I want all of my songs to do well whether I've written them or not.
If you write songs you have an idea how they're going to sound.
If you can whistle the melody, then the song will stick. But if you need a bunch of machines to make it sound good, you're probably not writing anything that's going to last a long time.
I just write a song, and it just comes out however it wants to. And some of them are catchy songs like 'Here Comes The Sun,' and some of them aren't, you know.
I think it's important to really press on with the song writing and just go with it. There's no code, there's no craft... it's just let yourself shine through your music. If it's meant to be loved and heard, it'll happen.
I've always written songs the same way. You learn different tricks - you learn craft, you learn structure, all that - as you go.
