Dance Pop Tutorial Day 5 pt 2: How to Autotune vocals like T-Pain/Ke$ha/Cher [7 Day Song]

This Reason 5 Tutorial is for producers looking to get into Chart-tastic Dance Pop like Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Katy Perry, Taio Cruise... basically anything produced by Max Martin or Dr Luke. Incredible producers.

If you use fruity loops or garage band or logic, protools, ableton or any other DAW I'm sure you'll find something in here you can learn from, since I try to explain *why* I do things rather than just *what* I do.

Let me know what you think of this 7 day song!

@WillSnyderMusic I'm not as pro as Dave but I listened to the song ET a lot and individually the vocal track of it and I can tell you my thoughts. Heavy delay, chorus, and double tracking(with slight harmonisation maybe?) were used I think. Hope I helped.

Hey Man, I really love the videos you're posting... I love the fact that we share some pretty similar ways of mix and creating... I was wanting to ask you to check out the song ET by katy Perry... there is a vocal effect that is almost always on her voice that sorta favors a vocal double... but the last last line of the song you can hear that it's not... it's like some sort of Glassy awesome effect, and I have been hearing it more and more on monster hits.. Any idea what the effect is?

Damn... You never cease to impress me Dave! I was wondering how much RAM do you have in your PC? my poor machine only has 3 gigs available and it is STRUGGLING! Can't really do vocals in record because of it :(
