- Oct 24, 2019 When he was asked why so many musicians have accused Auto-Tune of ruining music, Hildebrand replied that Auto-Tunes was designed to be used discretely and that no one needed to know that any software correction had been applied to vocal tracks. Hildebrand pointed out that there is an extreme setting available in Auto-Tune called the 'zero' setting.
'Only God Knows Why' is a song by American musician Kid Rock. It was recorded in 1998 for his album Devil Without a Cause, on which it features as the eleventh track. The song was the first recorded ballad on record by Kid Rock. It was a weary road ballad in which the first four lines were written while he was in jail after a bar fight after signing to Atlantic Records in 1997. It is notable for its heavy use of Auto-Tune.
The song was released as a single in 1999 and peaked at number 19 on the Billboard Hot 100,[3] eventually ranking at number 67 on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 for 2000.[4]VH1 named it the 19th greatest power ballad in 2002.[5]Outlaw country singer David Allan Coe released a live cover version on his release Live at Billy Bob's in 2003.
Music video[edit]
The music video is a montage of stage performances, his off time during touring, wandering the streets of and riding the streetcars in New Orleans and his performance at Woodstock 1999. The most infamous scenes are him getting hit with a full wine bottle in the head onstage, along with an overzealous fan following him to his car with security holding him back. His band, mother, father, and son are featured (during the part he sings 'I watch my youngest son and it helps to pass the time'). There are cameos by other stars like Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, Gibby Haynes of Butthole Surfers and Hank Williams, Jr. whose appearance comes after Kid Rock appeared in his 'Naked Women and Beer' video.
Mar 01, 2010 real time auto tune hardware Do any of the slutz have an opinion on the best auto tune hardware, not necessarily antares (but perhaps)? I'm looking for hardware because I'd like to use it live. Best hardware autotune? Posted by 2 years ago. Best hardware autotune? Hi, I've been using plug ins for a while to smooth out my vocals when needed. I am now looking for an hardware autotune than has a smooth touch, not too present. 4 points 2 years ago. I think these can be adjusted to correct. Auto tune hardware best buy. Auto-Tune is a software plug-in and hardware audio processor made by Antares but it has become synonymous with the correcting of vocals since the 1998 Cher track “Believe,” where it was used to excess. So, the term “Auto-Tune” has become part of our language but can cover a range of products from many manufacturers.
There is a censored version, with the buttocks of a stripper blurred out while Kid Rock is signing it and when he makes a gun gesture which is blurred out.
