You can hear it in just about every spectrum of vocal music, and instrumental music as well. It just seems to solidify my notion that there are not too many GREAT vocalists in the mainstream anymore. It could be that the producers are forcing artists to use it, or that they don't think they can sell anything without it being all "spiffed" up. It's just irritating that EVERYTHING in pop music is so processed. There is little, if any, music-making going on. That's why they need to put on an amazing live show with explosions and costumes, because they lack raw musical skill.
The music industry is dying. We need true artists to breathe life into again without the "help" of today's producers.
