    Recording voices and sound in human civilization can be dated back to 1912 and in terms of recording music, it is crucial to note that artists before the the technology of recording digitally would have to play the same song several times just to achieve the best track to put on their record and laser discs, cassettes, etc. Furthermore, before the existence of auto-tuning, artists recorded their tracks several times in order to make the best recording. An example of this type of recording is demonstrated below:
    In this recording of "Purple Haze" by Jimi Hendrix, despite already sounding amazing, still contains some recording issues such as the cough at the 30th second of the track and the slight reverb effect in the audio. Nonetheless, what is intriguing is that because the artists during this time had to do several recordings, the singing during live performances are very much the same as the ones in the recording.

    Conclusion
    From looking at the video, one can already see the obvious flaws in the "musician's" performance. Many artists nowadays would always lip-sync, or use pitch correction at most live performances. To put everything into consideration, the implementation of technology in music gave modern artists the ability to effortlessly produce good music. However, it has also negatively altered what is demanded in music because of the perfection in performance that most audiences in the modern era would seek. In addition, because technology is considered as a "double edged sword" to the creation of modern music, it is logical to conclude that music itself can be created in an infinite number of possibilities. Thus, the quality of these music would have to depend on the artists skill and creativity. As one can understand from the examples, music cannot be "made better" just by implementing advanced technology. Thus, to answer the question,

    right pitch. In terms of meaning, the song "Purple Haze", the title of the song suggests the brand of purple LSD tablets made during the 1960s since drugs were an important element in music during the 1960s. However, Hendrix explained by stating "II dream a lot and I put a lot of my dreams down as songs. I wrote one called 'First Around the Corner' and another called 'The Purple Haze', which was all about a dream I had that I was walking under the sea." during one of his interview with the New Musical Express.

    such levels. .Another reason for the recording to sound similar is because musicians before Auto-Tune was introduced did not have the technology to record with ease and most live performances were indeed the musician's voice, compared to a correction software that helps the performer sing in the right pitch.

    the song Believe,"Believe", by Cher.
    The use of auto-tune in Cher's "Belive" creates an creative effect because the noticeable implications of auto-tuning is kept at a minimal and that it actually sounds good. As one can see, this video on YouTube has gotten around 9 million views with mostly positive comments. The song meaning can be understood as a person who's lost her love and questions whether there is an incentive to live life after love. Thus, songs created with auto-tuning may not necessarily be bland in meaning.
    However, despite being an good technology to use, auto-tuning can be abused to the point where some may consider it non-musical. As stated by Marco Alpert of Antares in the debate titled "The Pro Tools' Ghost in the Machine", "Auto-Tune doesn't instantly make a bad singer sing good, the bad artists will still be bad, but they will be in tune. And let's not forget: The idea of comping vocals from 20 different takes and cutting out individual notes goes back as far as tape editing." (Romano). An example of this can be viewed below (warning, viewing of this video for too long may cause brain damage) :

    ​Auto-tune, by definition, is an audio processing software and or hardware that alters the pitch in both vocal and instrumental in music. Which, in Layman's term, would be a "photo shop" for voices. When used in the correct manner, artists create a safety-net for making sure that their voices are in tune to the music.
    It can be a rather useful tool if an individual wants to become creative and use it as a supplement to his or her voice. Since it's initial launch in 1997, it has been used in several musicians in the 21st century. An example of auto-tune used as a creative factor in music is shown below:

    The song, as one can hear, contains excessive auto-tuned segments, which made the "artist's" singing even worse that it already is. In addition to that, in terms of meaning (if there any), boasts about a woman being mad because she is not as "brilliant" as the "artist". Even if the use of auto-tuning has enhanced the singer's voice in the this video, the lyrics as well as the pitch has created a rather disastrous outcome in terms of maintaining musicality. Thus, it can be inferred that the auto-tune technology can be a "double-edged" sword in terms of creating songs with meaning and style. When used in the correct manner, auto-tune can be a tool that enhances the musician's voice and generate more popularity. However, because of it's useful nature, it can be exploited excessively as shown in the video above, where auto-tune has caused a negative effect in popularity.
