Auto-Tune

Auto-Tune, commonly known as the T-Pain effect, is a pitch correction audio processor that is revolutionizing the hip hop and R&B music industry. The most known for using Auto-Tune is R&B artist T-Pain, along with others such as Lil' Wayne, Britney Spears, and the Rascal Flatts. Even country stars have confessed to using auto-Tune during live performances. Some include, Reba Mcentire, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw. I discussed briefly in my prior post how it actually works. Many artists use it by singing on and off key purposely, so that the computerized pitch correction can be heard, giving it a unique sound. The program itself can be used in most Digital Audio Workstations, or it can be used as a stand alone program. It costs about 400 dollars, which is pretty cheap for the millions of dollars that it is making musicians.
