MAKE BEATS:
*Choose a beat*
Preview and select from T-Pain-approved professionally crafted beats, featuring everything from pulsing bass-driven kits to slow jams to otherworldly dance anthems.

*Load the default song*
Each beat provides a full set of patterns that correspond to song parts like Intro, Verse, and Chorus. When you choose your beat, a prearranged song appears on your Beat track to get you up and running quickly.

*Arrange your patterns*
Use the pattern chooser to swap in pattern variations, add or delete patterns to change your song's length, or arrange a whole new song from scratch.

*Edit in iDrum*
Want to get advanced? Personalize your beat by editing patterns directly within iDrum: T-Pain Edition, or create your own patterns and kits!

RECORD VOCALS:
*Do a Sound Check*
Put on your headphones, plug in a microphone, and let Sound Check walk you through the steps of getting your computer ready to record.

*Record your vocals*
Sing, rap or freestyle over your beat on two different vocal tracks, then edit or do retakes until you're perfectly satisfied with every word.

*Add The T-Pain Effect*
For more vocal flavor, bring T-Pain's distinctive sound to your vocal tracks, tweaking the hardness control to dial in just the right sound.

*Adjust your mix*
Balance the volume levels of your vocals and beat with the mixer controls, then build intensity by adding Beat Drops that briefly silence the beat for dramatic effect.
