In his chat with The Music Podcast, he said, “Auto-tune can’t turn a non-singer into a singer. It’s not like you sing anything, apply auto-tune and it will sound like it’s in tune. It’s not possible.” He added, “When people really liked to listen to Rahman’s songs, it was him actually who started using auto-tune in a very subtle way, that’s how a lot of singers started sounding beautiful.”

He also added more on auto-tune, “Some music composers don’t like it at all like Mithoon Sharma, and Vishal Bhardwaj. AR Rahman also doesn’t do it anymore, earlier he used to. Now he goes with whatever voice is there. Pritam’s music always has auto-tune, to make it sound better.” He explained how leading music composers don’t prefer to use auto-tune as it might detangle the complex emotion a song must portray. And while mentioning about emotions of a song he extolled on Sonu Nigam’s artistry.

He mentioned, “When a singer sings, they sing with emotion. And when they sing with emotion, it is never perfect, they go away from the sur (tune) a little bit, most singers except Sonu Nigam, he can’t go out of tune I feel,” appreciating his precision of minute notes and melodies.
