T-Pain and iZotope Introduce “The T-Pain Effect” Software

Love it or hate it, T-Pain’s oft-parodied signature vocal effect has become something of a production style. And now, it has also become a product.

Available for Mac and PC as standalone "T-Pain Engine" or VST, AU, and RTAS plug-in.

That’s right…iZotope and T-Pain himself have collaborated to develop The T-Pain Effect, a collection of music making tools for T-Pain inspired beat-making and vocal production.

According to iZotope: “The T-Pain Effect centers on The T-Pain Engine, a self-contained beat-making and vocal recording application for PC and Mac. Aspiring artists can get started immediately by selecting from over 50 professionally crafted song templates comprised of hundreds of T-Pain approved beats.

With the backing track in place, users can then sing, rap, or speak on one or two vocal tracks to record a song with ease. Beats and song arrangements can be customized and vocals can be edited, including punch-in recording for retakes.

For more vocal flavor, users can add The T-Pain Effect to the vocal tracks, tweaking the hardness and softness controls to dial in just the right sound. Then, after adjusting the levels of the final mix, the completed song can be exported and shared with friends or published directly to SoundCloud to share with the online world.”

In addition to the standalone T-Pain Engine, the product includes a VST, AU, and RTAS plug-in version of The T-Pain Effect for use with popular DAWs such as Pro Tools, Logic, GarageBand, Cubase, SONAR, and many more. While accessible for musicians on GarageBand, the plug-in is a professional tool designed for music production studios and includes real-time monitoring through the host program, hardness/softness controls for dialing in the sound, and scale presets to match the key of a song. Advanced users can also create their own scale presets using the built-in keyboard or a MIDI controller.

The T-Pain Engine

The product also includes iDrum: T-Pain Edition, a virtual drum machine that includes hundreds of custom beats of different musical genres, inspired by over 50 new T-Pain iDrum kits with all-new samples. Used as a standalone application or a plug-in, users can arrange beats into songs, create new kits and patterns, import their own samples, and edit samples with effects like pitch, filter, and decay. iDrum T-Pain Edition is fully compatible with other content from iZotope’s various iDrum titles.

The T-Pain Effect is available for $99 MSRP. For product and purchasing info, visit http://www.izotope.com/tpaineffect.
