GREAT TUTORIAL!

[@JoshuaMNielsen]

I want to try 'I Gotta Feeling' as soon as possible on my Tascam TA-VP1 with the built-in Antares Auto-Tune now because of this video! Great comparison of the stepped notes vs the glissando. I learned a lot from this.

Thanks, Josh!

[@Millerboy]

Also, formant needs turned off.

@@gotchigo Welcome!

[@TheCzarsoham]

Amazing video! Also great respect for using your own voice as a study subject!

[@tecraven]

Hey, thanks Soham Roy. Yes, I figured I'd use my 'questionable' voice to add realism rather than downloading some polished voice. I also left it raw with no real processing, just a bit of reverb, that's it, again, to keep it real ;)

[@skowdish]

Question: If I want to make a great and obvious TPain Cher effects to an already tuned and very little glissando Vocal Stems, What should I do?
Should I "destroy" the stems and make it out of tune and colliding the stem wave form to get rough glissando, and then process it through autotune? Need your advice

[@tecraven]

Don't make the original vocal out of tune just to put it back in tune with Autotune as that won't give you the effect you want, it will just put it in tune. Typically you only really notice the 'Cher/T-Pain' effect with the gliss sections, even a tiny gliss will have the effect you want. If there are absolutely no glissandos, not even short subtle ones, then you could do some automated pitch bends in your DAW, save it to a new audio stem and AutoTune that on maximum AutoTune setting.

[@skowdish]

@@tecraven I'm lost here.. how to make automated pitch bend in Stem (.WAV) file? turn it into parts and make it become patch on Simpler (I'm using ableton)?

[@sidehustlefilms8007]

Thumbs up! Where in the vocal chain do i add an auto tune plugin? Do i add it as the first insert? Thank you.

[@tecraven]

I would put the Auto-Tune plug-in first, otherwise any reverb and other FX will get Auto-Tuned, which could yield some odd effects.

perfect explanation❤❤❤

[@rymeyflow947]

T-Pain is not using this Autotune and he uses it different.

[@fabianrr]

Thanks

[@adrian56k]

Nice

[@tecraven]

Thanks, Adrian.

[@jackyflowers7159]

Why they call it the ''T pain'' effect, when it was called the ''Cher'' effect 1st, right?

[@tecraven]

You are absolutely right, I guess for a new generation :-)

[@stevecrichlowjr177]

It was popularized by T-pain. It became more broadly used by artists once he took hold of it not to mention his approach to the program was more aggressive hence T-pain effect 😉

[@tecraven]

@@stevecrichlowjr177 Yup. T-Pain like ‘maximum’ effect for sure - by his own admission. It was known as the Cher effect first though way back in the day, be it only on one of her songs I believe, at least aggressively set.
