Lil Wayne/T-Pain Effect

I've heard that ppl can achieve this with that overtly expensive antares software, but i've also heard you can do this with the pitch correction feature in logic or garageband but haven't tried it..so i'm not sure how you'd go about doing it but if you are looking for the easiest way to do it check out antares if you have the money to dish out.

make an audio track. insert a pitch correction plugin. open up the plugin. change the root to whatever key you are singing in. change the scale to natural melodic. go to the response time slider (still in the pitch correction settings) and drag it all the way down to fast. this means that the pitch correction (the "T-Feign" effect) will have a fast, obvious effect, thus you will hear the effect easily. If you are singing, first off make sure you have the root in the right key (usually the first chord you play), and if that still doesnt make it sound better, try different scales. Or, if you are a little savvier, just pick which notes/pitch you want to set up on the keyboard screen in the pitch correction window. If you find a perfect setting, save it and then click out of the plugin window. Go to the audio track and click the 'I'. try it out and edit as you go along. Post any questions here.

In Garageband:

Open the bottom bar where you can "enhance timing" and "enhance tuning" and the simplest way is to make sure the song you're recording/singing is in the key that you've set in garageband, and then just drag the Enhance Timing bar to the top, (or wherever you want in between) and click "adjust to key" or whatever it says. or you can just not click it, and it will stay in chromatic.

In Logic:

Just add a plugin on your vocal track, there's a plugin called Pitch Correction. and just choose the key of the song you're in, major/minor/etc. you can play around with it in many ways, but if you have NO music theory experience whatsoever and have no idea what the heck key signatures/scales or anything means, just leave it to chromatic, and it will be okay, but nothing compared to setting the key, or adjusting the notes. Oh, and make sure to drag the bar all the way down to the fastest response.

Hope it helps.
