Auto-Tune corrects a singer&#8217;s pitch. In most cases, you never know it was used to &#8220;fix&#8221; a pitch error made by a singer during a recording session. T-Pain, however, uses Auto-Tune as a musical instrument in its own right. Its use in this manner, by the way, is somewhat controversial.<\/p>\n<p>So, please join me for Podcast 34 as Ge Wang and I spend a bit over 30 minutes talking about the business angle, technology, and music behind the &#8220;I Am T-Pain&#8221; app.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; You can listen to the podcast right now from your web browser by using the embedded player above.<br \/>\n&#8211; You can also subscribe to the podcast in <a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/WebObjects\/MZStore.woa\/wa\/viewPodcast?id=301171904\">iTunes<\/a> or this <a href=\"http:\/\/mobiletoday.podbean.com\/feed\/\">RSS feed<\/a>.<br \/>\n&#8211; You can also point your smartphone&#8217;s browser at <a href=\"http:\/\/mobiletoday.podbean.com\">mobiletoday.podbean.com<\/a> to listen to or download the MP3 file over the air to your phone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Powered by Podbean.com In Podcast 34, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Smule CTO\/co-founder Ge Wang again (we first spoke in Jaunary 2009).
