T-Pain vows to never use auto-tune again.
When Jay-Z declared the "Death of Auto-Tune" in the summer of 2009, with the Blueprint 3 single "D.O.A.," the hip-hop star may have jumped the gun. Afterall, at the time, artists like Lil Wayne, Kanye West, and of course, T-Pain, were using the popular vocal effect with much success.Jacked from Baller Status
In 2011, its popularity has died down quite a bit. Pain, who helped bring its popularity back to the mainstream, recently vowed to ditch Auto-Tune.
Instead, he is opting to use, exclusive, his own new, vocal processor.
"I vow right here, right now, to never use Auto-Tune again," T-Pain told AllHipHop.com in an exclusive statement. "I'm onto something that I think is bigger and better called 'The T-Pain Effect.' "
According to AHH, the Florida singer/rapper has partnered with a company called Izotope, an audio technology company who will become the exclusive provider of the new "T-Pain Effect."
Auto-Tune was originally created by Antares Audio Technologies, and made its debut in the pop world in 1998 on Cher's hit single "Believe." Since then, everyone from Snoop Dogg and Janet Jackson to Weezy and Chris Brown have utilized the effect, which has become T-Pain's trademark.
T-Pain and Izotope are set to unveil the new technology on during the annual E3 gaming convention in Los Angeles next week, at the NOX booth.

A) Jay Z can't stop shit. He has no power. Only the power to kiss the asses of the "elite" he so desperately desires to associate himself with.
B) When these public figures "vow" to do anything, they turn around and do the exact opposite (eg. Barack Obama, and every other President before him).
C) So what is he going to do now? Since he clearly can't sing worth a damn (otherwise he wouldn't have needed auto-tuning in the first place)?
So he is still using auto tune just calling it something else? Read between the lines people. This no talent gremlin wouldn't have a career without auto tune.
whatever you say coon
i thought Roger Troutman used autotune b4 Cher...
Thank u 2:52 Zapp was using autotune in the 80's before Cher. These blogs need to do their research before puttin out bull to misinform readers. U credit some white lady for something that she did not do first. Zapp gets every party crankin #youtubeitbitch!

Zapp and Roger used autotune and I STILL blast their music everyday!!
I never had an issue w/ it while TPain utilized because TPain is a talented entertainer.
What KILLED autotune is all the one-hit, no-talent, "tardy-for-party" wonders that will autotune it at the drop of a hat. That's irritating...
Zapp and Roger used a Vocoder similar to autotune but not the same. Check it!
