funnyordie.com— T-Pain's vocoder wants some recognition after all he's done. I don't think his demands are all that unreasonable.

What don't believe me? Then why don't you do a little research first. What a vocoder is and what it really sounds like: <a class="user" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hqvvNcvenU">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hqvvNcvenU</a>T pain used a pitch quantization tool, the effect was also used by share. All it does is limits his voice to those frequencies found in the musical scale, so no matter what garbage comes out of his mouth it's automatically a musical melody.
They could have used just about anything to make it more believable. Heck, that Pultec EQ would have done just fine. But I suppose the Ampex does have a bit more personality.
Actually it is always recorded without a vocoder. That is an effect that would be applied to the track after it was recorded so that it can be tweaked in the mix.

And now that everyone uses it, he has no identity.
