Please don't use autotune... it is wayyyy too mainstream. You want to differentiate from the crowd!

Default Autotune is ok

I think the use of autotune is acceptable as long as the consumers and listeners enjoy listening to it. After all it is upto the listeners to rate the music, not artists stating whether autotune is good or bad. For example, Jay-Z came out with the song DOA (death of autotune) which where he stated artist who use autotune is deregulating their status as a rap artist, but if the listeners enjoy this type of music who is he to say it is bad in the music industry?

i agree. i think ocassional use is okay but anyone that can't sing can use autotune and sound decent so it doesn't really show talent.

first you need a decent mic. if you've got one of those you're set. FL has lots of stuff that you can tweak vocals with.

1st dump the vocal track into a channel. then assign that channel to a mixer track. each assigned mixer track has 8 effects channels. they're numbered on the right of the mixer panel. click on one of the arrows and you'll get a drop menu containing a whole bunch of effects.

the poster that said doing multiple tracks of the same vocal line (as in copying and pasting it into several channels) had a good idea. just make sure you pick one (or two that are near-identical) to be the main track(s) that come(s) through the mix. you can still have as many as you want, you just don't want them all out front or it will likely muck-up the instruments and whatnot in the rest of the mix.

you don't need autotune. you just need to experiment and practice. i'm not saying autotune is useless though. combine it with other effects or vocoders and you can do some pretty rad/original stuff.

Nicely worded. Couldn't have said it better myself. Well..I could. But I like to praise people every now and then. Evens out the hate.

Post an audio clip of you rapping, and that may make it easier to critique and give advice on.
And, I don't see anything wrong with autotune, if it's used correctly.
