I've seen a couple of live videos of Linkin Park on TV and Chester sounds pretty good in them,exactly like he sounds on CD with all that gruff in his voice.But then again in Linkin park's latest collision course videos he sounds like a normal person with a normal voice and some of my friends say that his voice(the way he sounds on CD i mean)is created through computers.

So all i want to know is that can he sing and sound in real life like he sounds on CD?

Some of you must have been to Linkin Park's concerts,so you can tell me.

Not too many true voices left out there. At the very least quite a few artists today use autotune or something like it just to keep their voice on key. You can hear it it lots of new bands. Hoobastank and Three Days Grace are the worst offenders that jump to mind. Its not really noticeable at all for small pitch corrections but if the singer is way the hell off their voice will develop a kind of digital quality (best way I can think to describe it) as the software/hardware stuggles to keep their voice on key. Listen for yourself.

Hoobastank, especially in "The reason" really slathered on the autotuning. I remember hearing him sing it live at some award show and he sounded like he was in pain.
