Im not sure what can be done for the future of pop/rock music.
All I do is listen to older music.
There is a ton of very well recorded music from the 50's, 60's 70's and 80's.
Even some early, to mid 90's stuff.
Here's another "rant" in case youre unaware-
There is another common trait that usually exists side by side with autotune, which could be argued as being even worse.
It is called "dynamic range compression".
What good is a nice set of Pi speakers in a sound system, or any other set of hifi speakers in your home, if you cannot turn it up?
I sometimes enjoy turning up the volume to fairly loud/full levels,
or even louder when having a party, which can give the impression there is a band in the room.
Dont try that with most pop/rock thats been recorded within the last 20 yrs.
I hear a big difference on my laptop.
listen to that on some "bigs"and youd really hear a difference.
I'd bet the compressed version would be more or less unlistenable at a nice full volume.
