kimbra is an amazing vocalist. i have seen her live twice and both times did not disappoint. she is extremely talented and always brings something different to the show.
There’s no autotune on her vocals. They used compression some reverb and double tracked her part. That’s why it has that chorus sound effect on it. Double tracking is a technique that the Beatles already used to make certain parts stand out more. But she has no need for auto tune bc she can sing extremely well.
@@Scott.......She does not. There's already been an analysis made of her separate vocal track of the song. Her pitch is slightly off the line and has natural wavelength changes. And they actually used only compression, reverb and doubling on some parts. Doubles backing tracks may have some pitch correction though for the fx, I'm not sure about that part. So basically it's just a very good studio take.
you can't really say that because live-autotune exists and autotune is like makeup - you can do drag queen levels of autotune(like cher or all those autotune rappers) or you can do the "natural look" where people think that's how you wake up but in reality every voice, just as every face, will have some imperfections and some good days and some bad days. p much the only way to tell if someone is decent without autotune is to here them live, in person, and without any microphone.
@@IzzyIkigai You can say it for this one. There's no auto tune or pitch correction here. Fil from Wings of Pegasus ran it through an analyzer and both performances have very minor mistakes in them that pitch correction would have caught...but it didn't, because they don't use it. They're just that good.

But gotye using auto correction tools when it was new was what I had thought. But I heard so many live takes since I figured I was wrong.
I really like mistakes in vocal as they add definition and character and makes a vocal more relatable. Gives quality of life feel that feels more at home. Digital voices or tuned voices just feels like we are worshiping a PC algorithm....
Hey man great comment. What are some of your fav bands or artists?
@@GamerToday I actually make drum and bass music aha so mainly I mainly listen to different modern styles of drum and bass (it's definitely a pretty subjective genre, some people love it and some hate it) 😅. Some of the more melodic tunes I really like are Mefjus - U or a track Monty - Vibin'.
What are some songs you enjoy? I'm always open to listen to anything as I appreciate all music
it definitely has some pitch correction
Every single artist uses auto tune on recordings
This song hits hard in so many ways. Lyrically, tone, and chorus. Wow....just wow. Love everything about this. Its one of those type of songs that takes you to a place. Nothing else can❤
Such a great duet. Period.
Love the live version.
There's no autotune anywhere on this song.
It has. Everyone that understand a little bit about the music industry knows that every song have a pitch correction.
@@Scott.......all these tarts think autotune = t pain 😂
@@Scott.......it’s not lmao it’s just reverb
@@HugePapa no dude, dont be the smartass when u barely know anything, there is pitch correction and layering... one correct pitch and layering gives voices that unnatural effect, check for a live performance and u gonna find it urself, u SMARTASS
@@Scott.......it’s not auto tune, it’s called reverb which is completely different.
Its a great song! I like both versions!!!!
Both are same there is no autotune
well this is incredible, I love the emotions during the live performance, this is strong
I could keep listening to this forever. Amazing talent
kimbra is an amazing vocalist. i have seen her live twice and both times did not disappoint. she is extremely talented and always brings something different to the show.
Focking song always hits you in the feels. Mother fockers were too real to keep doing that shit to us.
There’s no autotune on her vocals. They used compression some reverb and double tracked her part. That’s why it has that chorus sound effect on it. Double tracking is a technique that the Beatles already used to make certain parts stand out more. But she has no need for auto tune bc she can sing extremely well.
On the live clip you mean? Bc on the record she's clearing using autotune
@@Scott.......She does not. There's already been an analysis made of her separate vocal track of the song. Her pitch is slightly off the line and has natural wavelength changes. And they actually used only compression, reverb and doubling on some parts. Doubles backing tracks may have some pitch correction though for the fx, I'm not sure about that part. So basically it's just a very good studio take.
So in other words they were just singing with their natural voices? They sound fucking great live
you can't really say that because live-autotune exists and autotune is like makeup - you can do drag queen levels of autotune(like cher or all those autotune rappers) or you can do the "natural look" where people think that's how you wake up but in reality every voice, just as every face, will have some imperfections and some good days and some bad days. p much the only way to tell if someone is decent without autotune is to here them live, in person, and without any microphone.
@@IzzyIkigai You can say it for this one. There's no auto tune or pitch correction here. Fil from Wings of Pegasus ran it through an analyzer and both performances have very minor mistakes in them that pitch correction would have caught...but it didn't, because they don't use it. They're just that good.
@@IzzyIkigai There is no autotune in this. Just chorusing effects.
@@SealofPerfectionHave you ever used melodyne or any other pitch correction software? You don't seem to know what you're talking about or how pitch correction actually works.

She sounds amazing with or without that reverb stuff absolutely angelic
This is just one of those rare precious recordings that captures a raw and authentic emotion. Timeless gem.
Song never fails to give me goosebumps, autotune or not.
They made this one insane banger that the world needed to hear and fell back to the shadows
Remember everyone: recording does not always equal autotune. Some people are just THAT good
I agree. Every good singer can hit the notes well enough so that pitch isn't an issue. I'm a singer.
That's just more than one voice at the same time. The live performance is perfect.
She hit the first note, thought she wasn’t gonna make it, and then she made it. Well done
Live. I love this live version specifically. It was always in my playlists, instead of the studio version. Kimbra kills it.
She's AMAZING❤
It's even better😂😂😂
She just has a beatiful voice,and him too!
This is what real professionals look like
All I know is that these two have another level of talent education and ability. Very inspiring and impressive. They have something that clearly stands out in many ways. Keep up the good 💯
Kimbra and Gotye legendary with this song. This song is just work of art. 🎼🎶🎵📽️💎🙏
That was the song of the decade
make 2 decades out of that
Kimbra is so underrated…
She is a REAL ARTIST. It is not just autotune.
She's got an amazing voice! And such character ❤
I don't even know how many times I've listened this reel
I love his voice! They’re both so good.
As someone who has struggled to sing, but now can hold a melody, this post is extremely critical Let's see you accomplish the same feat.
You know someone has an amazing voice when the "autotune" and live version are almost identical
Because autotune can be applied live as well
Because she wasn't using autotune in studio version? People don't see the difference between autotune and good singers...
@@egosirius she is above the average of modern singers, that's for sure. how good she is? I can't tell without hearing her pure voice..
Masterpiece from 2011 🖤
Very few masterpieces come out every decade. This is definitely one.
Kimbra is one of the best live performers I would love to see her!
One of the best songs of all time!
Oh boy the way I love how the live version is even better!
The live version gives me full body chill bumps ❤
Man she is the fisrt singer i admire soo much! What a talent
Bro turned the dial +1 and made millions
😂
Love their voices!!! Real Talent!!!
BUT YOU DIDN’T HAVE TO CUT ME OFF-

They are so good! And beautiful!
Kimbra is amazing! I have seen her live 3 times and keeps getting better. Simply amazing!
They both deserve more recognition
Wow that song has been played in overplayed and overplayed for years how the f*** could they need more recognition😂 everyone has heard it
@@yournamehere4562 bot
@@yournamehere4562 gotye's known for that song, even though (in my opinion) he's got like 5-7 better songs
He doesn't want it
wow finally someone who can sing ^ ^ she sounds amazing!
They said" somebody I used to know", and disappeared from music industry now they are somebody that I used to know
Wow! She puts soul into that live version.
That's one mega talented woman. She got off her chest what was bothering her, got a killer song out of it, all whilst making a killer sandwich
Ohh that's why I like this clip better then the song. Her their actual voices are pure artistry at its finest. Incredibly talented musicians
Bro’s the somebody that I used to know! 😢😂
Wow What A POWERFUL VOICE✌️✌️✌️😍
him or her?
@@waynefay8210Both are good
It’s an easy note (and yes I can sing it)
@@waynefay8210 her
This isn't autotune. It is vocal clarity and a well rested voice in the studio...along with reverb and some pitch correction.
Have you ever used melodyne or any other pitch correction software? You don't seem to know what you're talking about or how pitch correction actually works.
"you didn't have to paint your face."
Smoothest 1 hit wonder of all time
I honestly like it better live, they just have great voices and know how to harmonize really well
