This is a much-talked about vocal effect, especially with the rise of T-Pain (and even on a smaller level Akon). You may also remember the effect on California Love. Cher used this effect too. Now, of course you don’t want to sound like Cher but she’s pretty much out of our minds by now, so we can move on and accept the synthesized love that is .. the talkbox effect . Here I’ll tell you how to do it.

What you’re going to need for this is Antares Autotune (or a talkbox.. but.. i’m going to assume that you don’t have that). Auto-tune is a Direct-X plugin that you can use with Cool Edit or whatever mixing program you’d like. Well, load it up and put the following in:

Key – C Scale – Major

Retune – 0
Tracking – 75

Rate – 0.1
Variation – 0
Onset Delay – 0
Onset Rate – 0
Pitch – 0
Amplitude – 30
Formant – 100

There you go. Put that on your choruses or whatever, and enjoy.
