Monty by Jim Meddick for January 23, 2015

Yup: a lot of reverb for Monty! But, then, I guess Ron’s Shoe Emporium won’t be too picky, as long as it gets its radio jingle…

I guess the studio guy has never heard of autotune. Without that, probably 1/2 the existing “singers” would not be on the air.

Where is Perry Como when you need him.

I don’t think it’s typical for the jingle-writer to also perform for the recording. Doesn’t he usually just submit a demo tape along with lyrics so the sponsor can hire actual musicians to make the recording?

Autotune is a “sound” now, whether you need it or not, just as reverb was back in the day: you sound professional with it. Alas.

To gt58: He’s an old guy, so his recording equipment is old tech. No digital here, and it’s probably a 4-track tape machine. Ah, I remember the days. . .

He needs some major auto tune.

Hopefully this doesn’t start a “Reverbnado” (see the latest Poncho “Barknado” storyline)

Needs more cowbell!
