Perfect Pitch

The music industry uses pitch correction software quite a bit. Imperfections in a song can be polished out without having to re record a performance. Its a blessing usually. For Kanmani, you can hear me crooning here and there. Its all pitch corrected. I am not a singer. I have just tried to provide some effects to the songs.

Pitch correction also can produce false illusion of a talent. With inumerable takes and software like Autotune, I can make you believe that I am the next genius in the industry. That is until you ask me to perform live or I get a call from a music director to render his new song. Pitch correction is only a tool. Its not the solution to bad singing.

While working with Manjari, I realized that this singer had perfect pitch. There was no need to tweak anything at all. Kanmani features a very different song by Manjari. I am sure it is going to be a big sensation.
