  "Artists back in the day used Aurotune".. if by back in the day you mean late 90s.. sure. That's when it was invented.  This is mid 70s. No digital, all analog.  You actually had to have natural talent. Dio was known for hitting these songs perfect in ONE TAKE. He was a god among singers.

  Just FYI autotuned did not exist in the 70's, Singers actually had talent back then and Dio was naturally gifted. His voice is the real deal. One of the best singers in any genres period not just Metal.

  Autotune was introduced for vocal correction in 1997 and first made it big on Cher&apos;s Believe in 1998. Everything from before that was completely authentic with the exception of vocoders and talkboxes. In terms of effects, everything else from these days were either Dynamics Processors or Time-based Processors. The former are things like EQ, Compressors, and Gates, and the latter are things like Reverb, Flanger, Chorus, and Delay. Dynamics processors don&apos;t feature any kind of masking for poor vocal quality. Time-Based processors do, but to a subtle extent. Any kind of overdubbing of vocals is likely to benefit the sound because multiple soundwaves together help texturise the sound and hide any flaws under layers of retakes. This is most evident with harmonisers and chorus effects, as well as normal overdubbing.<br><br>What separates Autotune from these effects of the past is the reliance on Digital modification. There is no Analog sound corrector that works to the extent of Autotune. Talkboxes and Vocoders both require talent of the controller whom is usually the artist in question and are quite obviously used for effect. There is no question as to if the singer is using them or not. It&apos;s plainly there and they aren&apos;t hiding it because it sounds cool. Autotune, however, is completely computer generated apart from the initial threshold, attack and release settings. Lower thresholds allows for more subtle and undetectable pitch correction which is morally deceiving and ultimately pointless. Higher thresholds are more obvious robotic effect and may be interpreted by the listener however they feel. Autotune being strictly used for hiding bad singing is shameful. Why else should the artist be famous if all they do is sing and they can&apos;t sing good? I&apos;m of course not referring to every singer who uses Autotune, but a good portion of modern Pop stars who don&apos;t write or play their music and only sing subpar to crappy vocals that are corrected by a computer. Does such a singer deserve their fame?

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFdq4VocVT4&amp;t=1010">16:50</a> Ahem. Dio was perfect. He was pretty much perfect even during his last concerts back in 2009 when he was already seriously sick from cancer. The man was just a phenomenal singer.

  Rainbow is hard rock my friends and were originally called Richie Blackmore’s Rainbow when Richie left Deep Purple and reversed himself into the band Elf. Ronnie James Dio (the singer on this song) is a legend in metal who brought us the Devil’s horns. He had an immense voice for such a small guy.<br>The song is about a wizard who enslaves people and makes them build him a tower so tall he can reach the stars.

  Laughing so hard at you two on this one! &nbsp;I&apos;m a huge Deep Purple fan (Ritchie Blackmore, guitarist for Purple and Rainbow), huge Dio fan (Rainbow and DIO) and Black Sabbath fan (Dio sang for Sabbath, too).<br><br>You experienced perfection with this song, gentlemen. &nbsp;Unadulterated perfection.

  it&apos;s a compliment to dio&apos;s voice that you think it was autotuned, the tech wasn&apos;t available in 1976 of course. great reaction, tnx guys...
