Question about Auto tune in general...

How does it work? Example: Antares auto tune........Can't really put it any other way lol. I know it autotunes but I was wondering how it works.

This is what it says in the Auto Tune Manual Auto-Tune 3 employs state-of-the-art digital signal processing algorithms (many, interestingly enough, drawn from the geophysical industry) to continuously detect the pitch of a periodic input signal (typically a solo voice or instrument) and instantly and seamlessly change it to a desired pitch (defined by any of a number of user-programmable scales or through the use of graphical editing tools.).

It works by making your laughable vocals into less laughable vocals.

Just like that funbox you're looking at right now.....magic....

It takes a talentless person and turns them into n'sync.

lol yea, I really don't see much use for autotune... But I guess Britney ''The Autotune'' Spears does .
