Sir Paul McCartney: John Lennon would have used auto-tune
Sir Paul McCartney thinks John Lennon would have been "all over" auto-tune.
The 79-year-old musician doesn't believe his late Beatles bandmate needed to "fix" his voice but would have enjoyed experimenting with the technology that smooths out recorded vocals.
Speaking on new Apple TV+ docuseries 'Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson', Paul said: “I’d say that if John Lennon had had an opportunity he would have been all over it. Not so much to fix your voice, but just to play with it.”
And John's son Sean Lennon agreed because he felt the 'Imagine' singer - who was shot dead in 1980 - was always looking for away to "sound better", as well as being very interested in keeping up with the latest innovations in recording.
He said: “It’s definitely true that my dad didn’t like his voice alone, like a single voice.
"Part of it is why he found all those phase effects, because he was always trying to find a way to make his voice sound better to him.
