It seems to me that once the artist is rapping (although stretching the words) the normal t-pain autotune effects are not as effective as they are on rnb vocals.
However when Lil Wayne does it while he is rapping it comes out fine, is he using more than autotune or are my settings off? I just followed one of the million tutorials on the net.
I really want the effect to stand out, as its only on two bars, I need the listener to know what it is straight away. |
My brother just delt with a guy with this same complaint.
For some strange reason, ppl are not realizing that Lil Wayne is actually SINGING on this track (or at least putting his best effort into it). He's not rapping at all. Auto-tune reacts best to "musical" pitch change. If there is no "musical" pitch change then there's nothing to react to.
If you simply record yourself talking and slap Auto-tune on it, you'll get an effect, but not what you're looking for. Just sing the words. Simple as that...
NOTE: you have to at least be in the right key AND be in the ballpark of the right notes. Auto-tune (set to automatic) will simply correct your pitch to the nearest note which may or may not be the note you want.
