Has Amy ever used pitch correction in live performances?

Thanks! That was it! Lol. 


Oh. To add more to the conversation about Pitch Correction and Auto Tune: I hear a very tin-y, glitchy, electronic sounding note in My Heart is Broken in the first verse at "eyes" in "Close my eyes and drift away". I'm not sure if it's auto tune or pitch correction since there isn't a very good example of pitch correction on YouTube (Andromeda - Evanescent-Killjoy posted a great example). Though, Ellen's example of auto tune doesn't sound as drastic as the sound on "eyes", so maybe it is pitch correction. What I'm referring to is a but more clear in the Pop Mix version since there aren't all that many layers. I also hear a similar sound in "away" from "I pulled away to face the pain". I do hear something at 3:23 in MHIB that could be pitch correction.

I think that part at 0:16 in SYW has some interference because of the cymbals. I think that way "Caught" sounds is just the way Amy is singing it at the time, though I do hear something unnatural (i guess) at "Drops of rain" and "like silver" though I think she just went nasal/head voice then. Just my two cents and based off of the pitch correction and auto tune example previously posted. On the MI Band Version/Mystary Version I hear an unnatural vocal thing at the end of "cried", the "-ied" part, and on "I'd". I've always noticed that and shudder at the sound of those two words together.

I believe those electronic manipulations of her voice are there on purpose to add to the more electronic feel of the album. They only exist in certain places where her voice is purposefully dragged out. It also happens in Sick when she sings the chorus acappela

I just listened to SYW. The "of" in "drops of rain" os just her voice catching and correctig itself. I don't hear a digital manipulation of the note, but maybe it's just me. And the "silver" may have a litle correction, but I mostly hear her doubling her singing, with a little bit of distortion/compression, but nothingthat jumps out as pitch correction. JMHO.
