Why Should Kanye Have all the Fun?

If this has already been done, my apologies. I've been thinking for some time about what fun it would be to use Auto Tune on the lap steel. I finally had some time, downloaded a trial period version of the Antares Auto Tune plug in, played to some loops, and the result is, as I hoped it would be, pretty funny. (And I didn't get into the other available scales, like Arabic 1, which is wicked.)

So, funny or ... quite obnoxious, depending on your perspective.

I send it out to Steinar, and hope it puts a smile on his face.

T-Pain eat your heart out. There are definitely some possibilities there.

I'll try this again after I round up some drugs.

That sounded great!

Nice job, Don! I've thought about trying to do this sort of thing before with a lap steel, but you've done much better than I would have done.

Joe Satriani used on his on his last album. To really benefit from it, you have to rethink how and what you play. He used it like a stomp box or FX rack gear.
