Sonu Nigam Acknowledges Using Auto-Tune in Some Songs, Highlights Digitised Music ProductionPreviousNext

Sonu Nigam acknowledged using auto-tune in some of his songs, attributing it to the digitisation of music production where raw voices may sound off. He highlighted that earlier recordings involved live instruments allowing pitch variations, whereas modern recordings require precise pitch correction. While he supports actors using auto-tune to pursue music, he cautioned against using it to replace professional singers or fix untrained voices, emphasizing it should enhance already strong performances.
