Those wolves are on very thin ice. Very thin ice.

Sounded way too much like Enigma's Sadness for me to last more than 10 seconds.

I was just going to say 'has Enigma released a new CD?' but furtive beat me to it. But seriously - this slaughter of natural noise must be stopped. Don't click the link; don't give them any ideas about how popular this could become - next it's the beauty of whalesound, mutated into a Cher single. Think of your ears.

don't worry, it won't scare the kitten... doesn't even sound like wolves....
my dog disapproved, she said that a wolf's howl is just fine without someone fucking with it like this!

meh- I was excited until I heard it. I'm generally a fan of auto tuning, but this does not enhance the original- it does nothing for the natural lonely beauty of the wolves howls.

I kind of like autotuned animals. These cats are my favourites—the squirming orange kitten melody gets lodged in my head for days at a time whenever I listen to it. These wolves are less catchy but awesome nonetheless.

What else can we autotune? The wails of the anguished? Boiling lobsters? Car crashes? Bumfights? I know! How about we pump air into the various orifices of a corpse and autotune the result?
Seriously, lets run through all the possibilities so we can be done with this already.

Man, y'all are going to wind up resurrecting Jingle Cats and then everybody is going to be sorry.

Autotune is the kudzu of the music world.
And I can't wait for it to engulf everything.

OK I played it and my cat was more critical of the cheesy synth beats than anything else.

I can think of one difference between these things and wolves.

There's already talk of a quadruple bill with Steppenwolf, Guitar Wolf and Los Lobos.

Beardman - these might be the mice try that with. Skip to around the 4:15 mark for best results.

I liked it, because once you put enough AutoTune on something, it just ends up sounding like a crazy synth line, and i like crazy synth lines just fine.

Would have been better with slower tracking. The fast tracking just makes it sound generic.

That's a reaction that I would not have expected. I had assumed that the exercise was intended as an indictment of autotuning as a generally-lamented tool used in 'popular music' to make singers lacking actual talent sound somewhat more musical.
Not really a necessary one, but amusing nonetheless.
