 Antares Auto Tune 5 Yesterday two students in my Music Tech class told me about a musician named T-Pain who they said doesn't sing his own vocals, but makes a computer sing for him. They played me a track off his off iTunes and I realized what they were talking about sounded like old vocoder tricks. So I explained to them about vocoders. But then they asked me if they could show me a YouTube video where a guy, not T-Pain, demonstrates how T-Pain "sings" even though he can't sing at all. (Really what the YouTube demonstrator means is that he can't sing on pitch--or what Paula Abdul or Randy Jackson would call "a little pitchy"). The YouTube demonstrator uses pitch correction hardware to produce the same effect. So, I downloaded a demo of Antares Auto Tune 5 to my computer and used it as an Audio Units plugin in GarageBand to produce the same effect.
