Best Answer

He started using it for main vocals on 808s & Heartbreak in every song recorded in studio's most famous are Heartless, Love Lockdown, and Amazing.

The first time ever he used autotune was in Jesus Walks on The College Dropout. At 1:01 a background vocal starts by Kanye West with the world famous T-Pain effect. He produced the song before he was signed as a rapper. As he said in The Last Call: "Everybody out there listen here. I played them 'Jesus Walks' and they

didn't sign me."

It's posible he used it earlier in his songs but you can't hear it. That's because it's main purpose is clean up falls pitches in vocals.
