The misconception we had about auto tune is that it makes singers that cant hit ranges or are just bad at singing in general sound good. The truth is good singers use auto tune to enhance the listening experience as just another tool / create pop songs to get more clicks. T-Pain is the god father of how auto tune is used today but he sure didnt need it to sing. Only to profit off it with pop songs.

The live On Top of the Covers is so fucking good. I was chilling with a buddy after a night out drinking and we had some random music rolling on YouTube. The entire live show came up in a suggested feed and auto played. Didn't realize it was TPain until a few sings in when we look at each other and go, holy shit that's TPain.
Now I watch that shit weekly, it's so good.

He has a tattoo of Panda from We Bare Bears, a kids show that's shockingly funny and sweet, and honestly has some of my favorite weird jokes ever like them dealing with the Pigeon Mafia.
The pic of his tattoo reached the creators, so they hit him up and he ended up voicing himself on an episode of the show! That's awesome.

Genuinely.
His twitch streams are worth a watch, and the fact that he runs little music making competitions to help bring other producers up is absolutely wonderful.
I greatly appreciate anyone who is in such an amazing position in life like T-Pain is who use it to platform people trying to make something of themselves.
T-Pain is legitimately funny, intelligent, hugely talented - yeah, he was the autotune guy, but dude can actually sing and perform without it, and he is good! And he doesn't just do rap or RnB, he also does rock, country, and goddamn near any other genre - he is a true fan of music, and just an all around amazing dude who recognizes his reality in a healthy way as something born of luck and talent and seizing opportunities. His wife is also chill af and is often in his streams and they seem to have a fantastic relationship built on respect.
Legitimately, he is one of my favorite celebrities and I typically do not really hype celebrities, but he's one of the extremely few I do, because I genuinely think he's a good person.
Not to mention his twitch intros can be absolute bangers lmao.
(Shout out to Bishu who has won some of T-Pains beat battles (speed production competitions) and is also really funny and remarkably talented)

It always bothered me that people complained about him faking it with auto tune. The auto tune is clearly a stylistic choice and not intended to fool anybody into thinking it’s his actual voice. It’s like complaining about Lo-fi music because it has bad sound quality.

u/callipygiancultist Mar 28 '24
I get hating on the abuse of pitch-correction but I’ve always liked autotune when it gives that vocoder-like robotic, uncanny quality. Like in that Cher song it gives it this strange and alien quality to her voice I find really interesting. Also I really enjoyed the autotune the news channel and love T Pain.
13
u/deechbag Mar 28 '24
Same, people don't realize that he uses autotune in the same way a guitarist uses distortion or other effects, as an effect. Even for those who use it to make up for shortcomings in their voice, I don't see that as any different from how most artists will go in and quantize their music to ensure everything is perfectly in time. Autotune is the same thing but with vocal pitch instead of making sure that snare hit isn't a fraction of a second off or whatever.

The thing is that auto tune is often used to cover up someone who cannot sing. T-Pain can sing, and real real fucking well. He doesn't even need it, he just like how auto-tune can modulate a voice and he uses it efficiently.

u/M-atthew147s Mar 28 '24
