Perhaps the best use of auto-tune since the release of the iPhone’s I Am T-Pain application, this segment of Carl Sagan’s Cosmos features Stephen Hawking and Sagan himself getting down with their bad selves.
One of my favorite iPhone app developers, Smule, creators of Leaf Trombone and Ocarina, have released their newest app, I Am T-Pain. At first glance, this app might seem like a shameless plug for the T man and his destruction of music, but further research shows that this app seems like a whole lot of fun.
Using the actual Auto-Tune technology created by Antares Audio Technologies, I Am T-Pain lets users sing-along or read-along to T-Pain song lyrics and a few instrumental tracks with the help of auto-pitch correction technology. Users can then post their recordings to Facebook or MySpace. You’ve gotta check the video after the jump to believe it.
