If you’re using it for what it’s meant for, cool, fine, and good[...]not, “I can’t sing at all, so let’s turn auto-tune all the way up so I just sound like Willy the Robot.[...]That’s wack! That’s terrible! It takes all the character out of your voice and you become a robot[...]Take the damn training wheels off. That’s how I feel about it.”
