Default how to use reatune to get the t-pain voice

hi there every one, im new to this forum. i recently just got reaper (hooray)and decided that i wanted to add vacals to my beats! but the thing is i can't get reatune to work for me. i mean it works but idk how to use it properly, i have search all over the net trying to find out how to use it but no luck =[.

is there a way though how to get that t-pain effect on reatune? Also i downloaded gsnap but i cant find out how to make it work with reaper.

i hate t-pain... what a joke.

but anyway, ill test some settings.

try and lower the "attack time" to 1 ms

-- also, you may want to choose chromatic scale, and then use the pitches that are in the song you are doing.

alternatively, you could use reavoice and control it via midi?

t-pain sucks and that sound should die immediately.

i dont even know why im helping.

btw, welcome to the forum

Thanks, again

The degradation of music is at an all time low, but the epidemic of t-pain makes me lose faith in humanity. I thought that t-pain would disappear after a day ot two, but still it persists. I don't believe that there is an innoculation vaccine for t-pain disease and i fear if this disease continues we are on a quick road to extinction.

(I should have realized this after people started actually LIKE mp3 recordings.)

Autotune is the best program to use for this but to do it in reatune you have to draw it in. First of all in reatune select manual correction tab and check all the check boxes (manual pitch correction, ect.) then let the track play and figure out where you want to place the pitch correction lines, keep in mind that you do not have the ability to draw in vibrato but I think you can do that using reapers parameter modulation. I don't really use this so maybe someone can give you better information.

In autotune you simply set the key to whatever and then set the scale to major, then set your tracking to 100, finally adjust your towards zero (fast) until you get the desired effect. Now this will be applied in realtime so no need to draw anything in unless you only want to affect certain words. I hope this helps.

Well, you can't really get a good T-Pain/Cher effect with ReaTune (I've tried,) but if you're strapped for cash, I recommend the free GSnap plugin. It's actually pretty comparable to AutoTune and can do anything from heavy pitch-correction to some pretty transparent correction.

The cheapest way to get the T-Pain effect is to get Autotune EFX. It's about $99 and you can run it while you are doing the vocals to get the T-Pain effect closest to what you want. There is an upgrade from that to the full version if you decide to do it later also.

Sometimes you can't help but give the artist what they want, if an artist comes to my place and asks for the T-Pain effect I give it to them. They are the ones paying and I want to keep them happy and coming back.

Hmph... can we possibly sink any lower? (Rhetorical question...)
