[The REAL Jigsaw]

More particularly, in some of his recent commercial hits, like "Love Lockdown" and "Put On"?

Its called autotune. A few different companies have this effect available in either hardware or software.

I think Helicon makes some hardware units that has this effect available.

Those plugins look cool. I wonder which one is the most graphic-intensive. I just got a core 2 quad computer with 8 gb ram.

There are at least 20 videos on youtube detailing the exact settings Kanye and TPain use to get that effect. just do a search for autotune and tpayne on youtube.

I don't know that you could call it an 'effect' so much as a 'talent compensator'.

...it doesn't make them sound talented, though.

I know. It just compensates for the lack of talent. A bit like when someone who loses their legs in an industrial accident gets monetary compensation.

That's only because what you said was 100% true.

lol.

What gets me is the "T-Pain" dude - I don't care for his music at all - but that MF can SING! Every single song he has ever recorded, though - he butchers his voice into robot-land...everybody used to call AutoTune "The Cher effect" , but I hear "The T-Pain effect" more than anything now... it's like his signature (retarded) sound. In his case, it's a waste of a (rare) voice that's actually pleasant to hear...

See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UQfLk411cI&feature=related 14 seconds or so. If I could sing like that, I wouldn't fuck my voice all up with AutoTune.

edit:

That's only because what you said was 100% true.

...that's why I thought it was funny - am I really this weird? Maybe I should go to sleep already. I'm laughing my ass off at shit that's not funny, lol.

 

[legionserial]

Exactly

It was funny. The best kind of humor is rooted in truth.

 

[solaris1982]

Now THAT'S funny!

Coming from one of the kings of comedy on this site, that makes me happy!
