Nitesh Surya Vanapalli: I assume you have a subscription to oxfordmusiconline? Can you please provide here a quote from the section that talks about Quavo? GA-RT-22 (talk) 19:08, 13 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Naive Song Claims

There are a few points in this article that I think need to be changed. First, the article claims that Mirwais Ahmadzai created the first song to utilize auto-tune on the complete vocals, but the sources listed do not support this claim, and I was unable to find any other sources that supported this claim (except for the artist himself). I am going to remove this line and the sources cited. Here are the sources in case they can be used in any other ways: ^[1] ^[2] --Fgorm1 (talk) 23:39, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Opinionated Language

I noticed that there is one instance of opinionated language in the article in the positive reception section. The line calls auto-tune a "crutch for poor vocals" and then states that that was the intended use of auto-tune. I am re-wording the line to be less opinionated. --Fgorm1 (talk) 23:46, 4 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Year

It seems the year of invention for Auto-Tune has been cited incorrectly as 1957, which is about 40 years off... Hildebrand only invented it in 1997. I've now corrected the errors by replacing them with the correct years. Beldarius (talk) 00:30, 26 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
