I am fairly certain that people using this will eventually learn to sing in tune with out the app.

I really liked watching how happy everyone was when they were using the demo. They were all so immediately impressed and inspired.

I think you nailed it. How rare is it that software actually makes people happy?

This app is great.

Well since no-one else has posted their exploits with I Am T-Pain on here yet, here's my first song with it:

And, no, I'm not familiar with the melody to I'm Sprung at all so I just made it up and I start adlibbing eventually, lol. Definitely worth the £1.79 for the entertainment factor. I wanna do some programming related hiphops next..

Hahha, fantastic. Nice job.

This is pretty good! I like how you changed it up a bit, instead of just doing the original song.

Edit: OMG just heard the end. ridiculous.

This is me doing it...

This is a really great app. We had half the people in my office out in a room we use for presentations with this hooked up to the PA. We were all laughing our butts off the whole time, having a lot of fun.

THAT sort of thing will sell...

Very very good job, whoever wrote this.

If you really want to get a nice effect with autotune, you must sing off pitch, and even better if you don't hold the pitch once you get there. Your wavering note paired with the unnaturally fast pitch correction is what makes it sound robot-y.

I didn't know that. Good suggestion I'll try it.
