T-Pain Retiring Auto-Tune??????
November 13th, 2008
Pain quitting the Vocoder???? Say it ain’t so, Teddy!!!
What would the world be without the screeching effects of Teddy’s vocal trickery echoing through every speaker known to mankind? Many have pondered it, but could/would Teddy lay the device to rest? Would it be tragic for him to retire the vocoder and the rest of his followers, which include Yung Berg, Birdman, Snoop Dog, 50 Cent, Ciara, Jim Jones (he recorded a song in Auto-Tune but canned it), Usher, Chris Brown, R.Kelly, The Dream, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, LowKey (I’m writing this article in Auto-Tune) allowed to still use it? I caught up with Pain yesterday before he hit 106 & Park and asked the Tallahassee Titan if he ever thought about laying the Auto-Tune to rest….
“I did think about it. There was a couple people trying to get me to do it, but I figured I’m the originator of this generation pretty much. Teddy Riley can’t do it better than Roger Troutman, I can’t do it better than Teddy Riley and I’m going to make sure nobody can do it better than me, so there’s no use of retiring it.”
SOOOOOOOOUNNNNNNNND OFFFFF!!

LOL @ “I’m writing this article in auto-tune”. It’s too bad he won’t stop using it…..it sucks…it’s dead
see i like the effect and it fits tpain really well him and kanyes songs fit it well im tired of other artists using it casue more then half of the time they dont sound right using it and it dont fit the theme of the song.
Well…I’ve heard T-Pain sing with his natural voice and he sounds pretty okay but I think that the fanbase has gotten so used to that sound from him that they wouldn’t accept his music w/out the vocoder. I don’t think it would be a smart business move for him to stop using it and he knows it as well, and that’s why he won’t. He’s sung on 106 before in the previous years and I’ve heard him in concert. I think he wants to sing w/ his real voice—but he knows that for money’s sake, it isn’t smart to do so. The fans are too comfortable w/ that sound from him for him to just stop now.
