Question:
What does T-PAIN use on his voice to get the robotic sound?
2009-10-01 07:17:58 UTC
I know he uses auto-tune. So do I, but it doesn't sound the same. I heard T-PAIN combines auto-tune with a vocoder? Any cool vocoders out that I could use?

Ever wonder how popular artists like T-pain, Daft Punk, Kid Rock and others make their voice sound robotic and hit only certain notes?



It is called auto tuning. Basically they use computer to adjust the tone of their voice so it only hits certain notes. With a few simple audio tools, you can produce auto tune effects of your own.





Things You'll Need:



* Auto tune VST program

* An audio editor that allows the use of VST plug ins



Instructions



Step 1



Open your audio editor. If you need a free editor, Audacity, Wavepad and Waveosaur are popular.



Step 2



Go under effects and select VST effects. Depending on your editor this might be under a menu other than effects.



Step 3



Browse for the folder contain the Auto tune .dll file and select it.



Step 4



Click on settings to open the auto tuner interface. You can use auto tune by Antares Audio, but it costs money to buy. There are some free auto tune plug ins like Gsnap that can be downloaded online.



Step 5



Use the following settings: scale= major, retune speed=0, everything under vibrato set to the lowest setting, pitch=0, and amplitude and formant amount set to max. Finally, set pitch tracking (might be under an options menu) toward relaxed, between 70 and 90. This will help people with bad singing voices more.



Step 6



Select a clip of vocal audio and apply the VST to it. The clip will be altered with a T-Pain like auto tune effect.





Tips & Warnings



* Even with auto tune, you still have to sing to get results, and good singing will result in a better sound.

Auto-Tune



Which is a proprietary audio processor that uses a phase vocoder to correct pitch in vocal and instrumental performances.

It's very possible to learn to sing well. You just need to know the right methods. Learn here https://tr.im/JXWSi



Singing teachers will cost money and can be expensive so they're not for everyone. Singing can be learned so it's not an "either you have it or you don't" kind of thing.



Whether you sound like crap or you're decent, I recommend this singing course. It's one of the best methods to learn to sing well in a short amount of time. It's all about using efficient techniques that work.

He makes use of something suggested as "vehicle-track". It particularly immediately tunes vocals. So he won't manage to easily sing, this methodology makes his voice sound like that. maximum mainstream performers use vehicle-track.
