Be like T-Pain

Before I get started, a note for our country music folk... T-Pain is a rapper.. :)

Nearly every recording artist uses studio software called Auto-tune when recording music or when they are live on stage.  Auto-tune smooths out any "off-key" imperfections in the artist when they sing.  When used correctly, it's hard to tell when auto-tune is actually correcting an artist.

T-pain, is arguably the Godfather of the Auto-Tune phenomenon in pop and rap music.  T-pain uses an extreme setting on auto-tune that adds that warble effect in the vocal from one note to the other.  Some country artists like George Strait have used that extreme setting.

Check this out!!  He has created an Auto-Tune application for the iPhone.  It's called "I Am T-Pain," and it allows you to record your voice with the Auto-Tune effect, in real time. You can then create your own tracks and stream them on your Facebook or MySpace pages.   Bhaaaa!!!

Check out the video of people using the app!  The app is $2.99.
