auto tune *giggles*

you can always tell the shmucks who use autotune in recording when they show up in a live performance and cant stay on pitch at all, but the CD is somehow just amazing coughcoldplaycoughcough.

I haven't read up on this lately, but didn't vinel lack many of the lower range frequencies, while techniques today have almost all the low frequencies but cut out many high frequencies above the human range of listening?

If you've ever heard of the phillips issued "super audio cd" I think it includes all frequencies of sound, not just human spectrum of hearing ranges. (overtone series affects things inside and out of the human range of hearing)
