T-Pain's Auto-Tune iPhone app: You can do it all by yourse-el-el-el-elf

After months of anticipation, singing robot T-Pain has finally unleashed his secret weapon: an iPhone application that gives users the power to make their tone deaf voice sound...just as crappy. But digitized! The iPhone application is called I Am T-Pain, and it might be the end of music as we know it.

Even though T-Pain isn't the first artist to use the Auto-Tuner, this is the easiest and cheapest way to obtain the popular vocoder software that disguises and corrects improper pitch by distorting the human voice.

The $2.99 app is a portable version of the tool that includes an instrumental collection of T-Pain's greatest hits in addition to a "Freestyle" mode to cover your own songs. You can also record yourself singing and easily upload the tracks to various social networks.

I installed the app on my iPhone and it works pretty well, but instead of "Buy you a Drank (Shawty Snappin')" I went for Cher's timeless hit "I Believe" on today's episode of The 404 Podcast. Check it out and let me know if I have a future in the recording industry.

Check out more screenshots of the I Am T-Pain iPhone app after the jump.

R.I.P

Sounds better than T-Pain, that's for sure.

This auto tune came in after people got sick of the udulating ohhhhhh ahhhhhhhh at the start of every sould song somehow missing the point of and making the who tune irrelevant to what they are singing about and just sounds like a big o as if they are copulating.

So I am happy that now people are making fun of this.........

auto-tune does not distort the voice. it bends it

[ctgsas]

to distort something is to alter it in some way.

why live as an upstanding citizen of a coastal down when you can rape and pillage small villages?

Howabout this... If your so desparate to waste your money, just give it to me.. Seriously, i'll put it to a much better use.... I'll use it for toilet paper.... It'll be fun... Really.. You can tell all your friends how you gave your money away to a total stranger, cause he used the last square on his roll and needed something to wipe with...

ah another app that should be free but isn't because of a famous name, and have any of you that have ben with the app store from the beginning notice how the free app section has degraded, I used to find all sorts of great free apps now it is a miracle to find a decent free app,sad.

EvanSei: Dude yeah I couldn't agree more - it is truly a sad state of affairs when lazy programmers won't waste a little extra time making us killer free apps... I mean geez we pay their - wait - nope not so much... but like anyway us sponges are dryin' up waiting for them to get off their patooties (that's right - I said patooties) and sit right back down to get to work on software for the 'good of the freeloading people' waiting for cool free stuff... where do they get off writing this litany of crappy free sh&% for us to slog through until we find the odd gem? Pathetic.

The app isn't that great. It doesn't sound like auto-tune at all. There are actually a few free apps that do the same but work better. The only difference is this has a karoke function.
